Hope this is an uptrend for the offense on many other categories also. Not so much for the stats or rankings. But it helps translate into wins along with the strong defense.

Trying not to get excited but we MAY be seeing the resurrection of this offense from the beginning of last season. The next three games (defenses) with Packs, Vikes, and Giants will give us a clear answer.



I suppose limiting the offensive penalties, a run game giving short 3-downs and varied short yardage options helps, especially against a team that couldnt stop the run and allowed us the less risky play's. But yea, we did well and with Green Bay up next, another team we can run against lets hope we perfect the approach before the Vikes.

I agree but keep in mind, we created everything you mention, no reason to apologize or put it another way, we deserved everything we got.

Currently the NFC East's winning percentage is .723 or so. That is the largest winning percentage of a division since the merger.

yup….it’s not going to hold though….Washington is getting ready to face a tough stretch, NY is showing cracks…Philly and Dallas will likely not slow down but I think they start to separate from the bottom 2

Very happy with the Cowboys both in 3rd down conversions and redzone Dallas 9 of 11 on 3rd down and 4 for 4 in redzone. Offense came out on fire both run and passing game. Offense took a big step in this game

It was weird watching the first half of this game. It seemed like the Cowboys just cruised past the softest of defenses. Everything they did worked.

It's going to take a fluke game for Philly to see a loss before Dallas plays them again, they such a cupcake schedule and are that good

Given todays NFL, you can almost bank on Philly screwing up. week after week shockers are happening where so called bad teams jump up and bite good teams. including last night game.

Ring.Ring. "Hello. This is Roger." "Roger, Jerry Jones from the Dallas Cowboys. I am trying to sell more jerseys, can you schedule us against the bears again after the bye?"

this year has especially been that way, they'll fall into a trap game for sure but if they can stay focused they can easily be unbeaten by Christmas Eve
