Finished last season at 2-14, the worst record in the league.

They are now 8-4, just one year later.

And the Cowboys continue to teeter on mediocrity...

It baffles my mind.

Can anyone shine some light on why they have been so successful so fast?
 
Andrew Luck. Playing with fire for that sick coach. Interim coaching working for them.
 
playing a last placed schedule helps sometimes. If we played Minnesota/St.Louis instead of Chicago/Seattle we could be 8-4 or 7-5.

If they played Baltimore (and Denver later in the year) instead of Cleveland (and Kansas City later in the year) then their record could be lower.

3 of those 4 teams are pretty much lumped together. Chicago being the only real superior team and they basically stacked wins by getting a ridiculous amount of turnovers and scoring on a lot of those turnovers in a manner that would likely produce wins for any team.

Seattle is 7-5 having beaten 6-6 Minnesota.

St. Louis is 5-6-1 having beaten 7-5 Seattle. Also beat San Fran today and Washington earlier.

Minnesota has beat San Fran as well

Basically just shuffling teams of similar quality around.

Dallas playing any of those teams is neither a guaranteed win or loss. It's not like those teams couldn't return free gifts to the endzone like Chicago did and that was ultimately what sunk Dallas.

When you look at the supposed scrubs that Dallas has played.....Cleveland, Carolina, Philadelphia, it's not like they're blowing these teams out to where you can confidently say that games against better teams would be wins.
 
Play competitive football. Lose a Hall of Fame QB, play poorly. Put the next top-flight candidate on your roster, play competitive football again.
 
I diagree. I think anyone would rather play Minnesota/ST.Louis versus Chicago/Seattle. It may not resut in more wins for us, but considering we lost both, it wouldn't be more losses

Luck worth everything that it would have took to trade up for him. The Colts does make the Cowboys' situation look bad, very bad. They were down a year and came right back. Dallas has been down for over 15 years with no relief in sight.
 
Andrew
.....
LUCK.


He is in the MVP talk his rookie year, people argue if he was worth trading up for? When he is in canton 3 1st rounders, a 2nd and Romo would look like we fleeced them.
 
Two reasons. Kerry Collins and Curtis Painter. Those guys sucked last year.

At most Collins was a slightly above average QB during his best years. His best years were far behind him going into last season. Plus he was thrust into the starters role at the last minute with little training camp reps and no pre-season snaps.

Curtis Painter isn't any good. He probably isn't as good as Stephen McGee and really held the Colts back last season.

There are several reasons why the Colts are playing better this year than last year. One of the biggest ones is Luck is much better than who they used last season.
 
Luck was incredible on that last drive yesterday. He should be the MVP in my opinion, the Colts are nothing with out him.
 
They were smart. They tanked and got Luck.

Unlike a certain team the prior year.

Are you saying Dallas should have tanked to have either Jake Locker or Cam Newton?
