We Are 11-1 And

[MagicMan]

NE also just won an ugly game against the lowly Jets......do they care?........course not, win is a win. Most games in the NFL come down to less than 7 points. You take it and move on. Heck we lost by one point in the first game and that still shows up as a loss. Blowouts are rare nowadays with this officiating.

Its because people simply cannot believe what they are seeing. We've been programmed to think that what we are seeing is impossible.

Folks aren't going to let go of their preconceived notions or the conventional wisdom that they rely on to make sense of the world that easily. At some point, they'll have a psychotic episode, break down mentally, and run around in the woods naked mumbling to themselves about low round rookie QBs and the importance of the pass rush.

That should happen about the time Dak is holding up the Lombardi Trophy at the SB.

But it could happen sooner. For some.

And, like Parcells (whom someone referenced last night), Jimmy wouldn't know what an 11 game win streak even looks like. That's not a slam on Jimmy or Parcells but the fact remains they've never achieved what Garrett and team have achieved this year. To be fair, Jimmy and Bill have rings (which Jason and his staff have not achieved yet, either) but, to this point, Jason hasn't had any problems motivating his team or keeping them focused. There's more than one way to skin a cat and Garrett and Co. are doing just fine, right now.

Parcells' 1990 Giant team started the season 10-0, went 13-3 and won a Super Bowl with a backup quarterback. His 1986 team went 14-2 in the regular season, and won their final 12 games of the season (including playoffs). Johnson won back to back Super Bowls in Dallas.

Truth is, despite an impressive run this season, this team hasn't achieved anything as of yet. Certainly nothing on the level of Parcells and Johnson.

All I heard last night on the post game shows, this message board and social media in general is how bad we looked, which teams we lose to playing like that, teams that scare you in the playoffs, etc. 11-1 and the best team in the NFL and every week is people whining about something with this team. These don't come around here very often at all. We are legit Super Bowl contenders (I think more than we were in 2007 and 2014) but it gets tiring every week having to read how suspect this team is. Yet we just keep finding a way to win the game. I even heard people say we need to bench Dak for Romo and Zeke has fell off. I don't get this fanbase at times.

Football season is just a few months from ending completely. Enjoy the season! We now have a 10 day break to mentally and physically prepare for the last quarter of the season. We are doing just fine up to this point.

Reading around I would think we were 6-5 and scrapping for just a wild card spot like the last 20 years.

Maybe it's because we're all snake bitten. I agree. No matter what happens from this point forward this season has been very encouraging. At the beginning of the year I thought we'd be maybe a 10-6 team and just an NFC East contender. When Tony went down, I thought we'd be lucky to win 4 or 5 games. We are 11-1. We are playing with house money. Let's enjoy it.

Not every win in the 90's SB teams were masterpiece's either. Plenty of head scratchers and ugly wins.
We have a great team right now and it guarantees nothing. We all hope they can keep it going.

Not a ton to complain about these days. No team has Pro Bowlers at every position. 53 guys Good, great and so so players all have to come together to win a Championship.
Enjoy the ride boys.

That's for sure .. like the 4-6 rams coming into face the 8-2 cowboys in Texas stadium with Cleveland Gary and beating the boys 27-23

That's why they play the games and a W is a W

Enjoy the season !!

I don't dwell in the past. We have a different team than 2014, 2007, 2009 or any of the other years we have went to the playoffs. Every year is different. Last year we were 4-12. One year later we are 11-1. Stuff changes in sports from year to year, especially in the NFL.

Look at the Cubs and Cavs. Both teams were perennial losers in their sport. Both brought home titles for their fans. And Dallas is nowhere near a perennial loser. We just have had a bad stretch. I am very confident in this team. A lot can change from here until the playoffs but I think we have what it takes. We have won in almost every way possible so far. We aren't doing this with smoke and mirrors like 2009 which was extremely flawed.

If you can't enjoy the ride in sports in general and live in the moment, you are missing out on what it's about. Don't fret over the past and don't worry about the future. Just enjoy this while you can.

We've accomplished all we can except obviously that one loss. Can't accomplish what we really want till playoff time gets here but no reason not to enjoy what we've accomplished so far

This year has a certain feel, different from anything I've ever felt. Granted I wasn't old enough to appreciate the 90s teams, I just feel like this team is wired differently then the cowboys of the past 10-15 years. I think we're going to make noise this year.

 

[Blackspider214]

Jimmy would have cussed out random players on the flight home and cut a guy just to make a point after a sloppy game like that.

Different coach, different times. You can't just cut players these days with salary cap ramifications. I mean Garrett cut a random player for dress code last year.

The 90s Cowboys played plenty of sloppy games. Every game won't be smooth sailing. Don't worry, they will see the film on this game and they will know how often they messed up.

You don't have to be over top to get your point across. See Tony Dungy.

Was Jimmy "over the top"?

Man, I don't care how we win. A win is a win. I got to work and everyone saying how bad we looked and how we almost lost. But did we lose? Nope. 11-1. Everyone wanted to see us lose last night. Which is why I'm not surprised it was the most watched TNF game ever. I really trust this team. I trust Dak and I'm trusting this D more and more. We're never out of it.

Well to have a season like this, is first better than anything we have had in many years!
But it will lose meaning if they dont get to nfc champ game at least, and hopefully to SB, and then most of all win SB.

We havent got past the div round since the last SB year, so that is something this team has to do.

I'm trying to enjoy it as long as I can. We are seeing things that have never happened. That was an ugly game and they won. The offense struggled and they pulled it out on the road. Everyone wants to get rid of players because of 1 or 2 bad plays. Fans should relax a little and enjoy the ride

 

[stilltheguru88]

If we only score 17 in a sloppy game vs New York then it will be cause to pause.

 

[TellerMorrow34]

I can't understand why people say this. Great/championship teams win some games like this, and they lose some games like this.

Think about it: most championship teams go 12-4, 13-3, occasionally better. What do you think most of those losses look like? They're not blowouts, and they're not all heavyweight bouts with equals. They're mostly ugly close games where they let a lesser team stick around and steal one away.

Great teams aren't great because they win a bunch of games like this. They're great because they destroy lesser teams, like we did the Browns and Bears, because they never get blown out, and because they don't lose more than their share of the inevitable ugly games that come along.

If Thielen didn't fumble and the Vikings eked out a win over us, it wouldn't say anything different about the team: we'd be 10-2 and our path to HFA would be a bit harder, but we wouldn't learn anything about the Cowboys than we learned from the close ugly win.

Okay.

 

[hornitosmonster]

people want the Cowboys to fail, if they lose next week it will be I told you so despite a 11-2 record. That is how dumb football America is, I told you so for a 11-2 team.

Most in today's sports media, will never be invited into my home. No telling where they will choose to just take a crap...

I think the Cowboys have to own the record this week for news about how they can/will fail. The media feature stories/segments of several scenarios of us meeting our demise, while praising other playoff teams. Lol! Enough said...
