From my vantage point the only thing different between these Cowboys and the same old is style points. The teams they've beaten aren't any different. How they've beaten them is in most cases.

We always beat bad teams(most of our schedule). We always beat middle of the road to good teams at home(Rams, Seahawks). We always beat the Eagles (haven't swept Dallas since 2011).

They have looked better doing it this year. I won't question that. That may be enough for you to believe this team is different. It's not for me.

But here's what is. @ Buffalo and @ Miami.

Two legitimate playoff contenders who can advance in the postseason. Both on the road. Both fighting for playoff positioning with the Bills really fighting for their playoff lives. In the elements. In December.

The same old Cowboys fumble the ball here. Now is when you can truly change the narrative.

They had a previous opportunity at a narrative changing win against San Francisco this year and they flopped miserably.

Cowboys! ?

They have to show me before I'll believe.

I'll admit Dak appears to be playing better, but I won't ignore the competition he has faced over this good stretch. They beat a team with a winning record in the Iggles, but was it really that impressive given the state of the Iggles defense? The Dallas D shutting down Philthy was more impressive in my opinion.

I'm in your camp - they need to show me they can get it done the next few weeks, and then finish the season with a long run in the playoffs. Another 1 and done isn't going to cut it.

As long as neither team wears offensive shirts, that's all that matters

Seen this story before, and I am hoping for a change this year.

The narrative never changes. Just the goal post. After we beat the Seahawks, oh they suck now. After we blow out who was believed to be the best team in the league, oh something looks wrong with them. It's always the same.

Just curious, but would someone who was currently not 'on the bandwagon' waste his or her time posting here? Seems to me they would wait until Dallas made it to the divisional round or the NFCCG before jumping back on.

You will see the real bandwagoners disappear if Dallas finishes the season poorly and / or finishes with another 1 and done.

I’ve asked that question many times before and the answer is that you haters are miserable people in life. You come here and spread your negativity in hopes of making everyone miserable like you are. You can stay off the band wagon. Don’t want your types.

I am really proud of this post by you. Not the usual sarcasm but some real content.

You're such a ray of sunshine yourself, buddy.

I agree. Every time we start to flex, we get the cardinals game all over. Every game moving forward will show how truly dominant Dallas may or may not be. I still think defense is suspect. They did force 3 fumbles vs Philly, but most forget they were in scoring territory too. Philly moved the ball.
