Everyone remember last seasons cowboys defense? It was horrible. I remember teams choosing to run on 3rd and 6 situations and getting first downs. Amazingly the cowboys defense is now ranked 7th in points allowed per game. For some years we've wanted a pro bowl / all pro caliber player at each level. We have it in now Diggs/Micah/Dlaw/Gregory. It's true the offense is struggling but they're still No 2 in points per game. Every team has weaknesses (including us) but We have the necessary tools to win a championship. We're 10-4, let's appreciate where we're at and enjoy the ride.

Unfortunately, some can't enjoy the ride, they're busy waiting for things to implode.....

While this is true, there is a ton of history from the last 25 or so years that contribute to the skepticism. I for one, do appreciate your optimistic views, while also understanding the pessimistic ones.

I know the history, but I also know, from experience that no amount of pessimism is gonna make me feel better. So, I choose to just enjoy the games one week at a time. Sounds cliche, but it makes the game more enjoyable for me. I don't mind the pessimistic attitudes.....if they could only learn to keep their mouths shut! Lol

Top 10?

Selling this defense way short. Now that everybody is relatively healthy they are balling!

Yep.

Dallas is good at the things that matter.

When it comes to defensive rankings... Stats lie.

This is a league that doesn’t play good defense in general.

Offense wins championships and defenses do their best.

I am versed in this game, I know what i see.....yes, he's struggling...but, continuity became unravelled a few weeks ago. The same continuity that is starting to come around again. It takes a village....not village idiots! Lol....Salud! @Captain-Crash is coming after you!

From 1-10, how much faith do you have in Dak for the playoffs?
Let your brain decide this one, not your passions.....

IF....the line gets healthy and he plays close to how he can....I give a 8. Without line, I'll give him a 5. He's not the type to carry the team all by himself

Unless we're running with Zeke and Pollard (Over 140 Yards) we are one and done with Rayne!

I'm thinking that a rough 'team attitude' is growing and Dak will have more personal growth. He needs to have a playoff sense to his play, and that part is growing on the entire team. Get Smith back onto the carpet and let's see the real team dominance picks up December to playoff Mo.:flagwave:
