Yes, the team hasn't played well in all three phases at the same time. But each has looked dominant at different times this year so we know they're capable. So who is to say this team can't put it all together at some point?
Good post. Heading to training camp we had a new OL coach/playcaller and a new defense. Given this is only week 8 (and we had to rebuild the DL) it's clear this team is heading in the right direction. I agree with your question and your answer is it won't be me.

This team has had problems putting strings of wins together. Big problems. There is just no consistency from week to week in any area of the team. I have seem teams make runs at the right time, but this team has never shown that capability. Just getting in the playoffs with a quick exit doesn't do much for me.

I understand what you are saying - believe me - but having missed the playoffs three years in a row, a one and done would at least show some improvement and give us another week of football. However, a Super Bowl run would give us another month of football, and that is what I want. If we can keep improving, who knows what might happen.

I just feel that unless we completely implode that this division is ours. I know it is a long season and anything can happen though. The question would be if we did make the playoffs which team would be play in the first round? If the playoffs started today it would be SF. It's possible SF ends up with a better record over Seattle and Seattle comes here. It looks like the most likely scenario looking at the schedules etc is that it would be either San Fran or Seattle coming here.

It's too early to talk specifics, by far. It's not too early to talk about the possibility of us making it. We are in fact in the driver's seat and just a week or so shy of the mid point of the season.

Yes, if the stars align t it is possible. It just doesn't seem very likely. What would be really interesting is if we get Seattle at home the first week of the playoffs (very possible if we win the division) and we beat them. Talk about the story lines if that happened! Romo gets revenge against Seahawks, Cowboys knock off the best team in the NFC, etc. The momentum from that could be HUGE. No telling where it could take our team. Ok, I'm day dreaming a little bit now....
