What the ‘14, ‘16 and ‘18 Teams Had in Common

[Bobhaze]

They are all 1 of the 5 good seasons dallas has had in 24 years.

Jerry treats this team like a drunk with a lot of money to burn at a Vegas craps table. He runs this thing like he’s got seasons to burn instead of just running it like an owner who is willing to do whatever it takes to win a championship.

I completely agree Joe that this pats team is beatable. What saddens me about this Cowboys team is that they have as much or more talent than the pats, but this team’s culture based on its leadership at the top poisons the well. The pats have won several Lombardis without top ten talent but they make up for it with their coaching and culture.

In a league where the talent margins between teams are relatively thin, having outstanding and innovative coaching is the difference between winning a championship and just winning an occasional WC game.

You are the muse, Bob. I agree that our talent is good enough, in fact, we should be sporting a record of 8-2.
The Pats are beatable. The Cowboys need to stop beating themselves.

....Ravens put up 37 on them. Practically unheard of this season. Then someone said, "Who did they play?". Until they met the Ravens.

Dallas will be no push over. If they bring their A game, they are a tough team to beat. Lets hope and see.

Three of the 9 Cowboys teams that have so far made the playoffs under Jason Garrett all shared one thing in common that gave us hope they could make some noise in the playoffs: They all had a signature road wins against a real contender.

• 
  
  
  • 2014: Beat defending SB champ Seahawks 30-23 in Seattle
  • 2016: Beat Steelers (who went on to the AFC championship game) in Pitts 35-30
  • Also in 2016 Beat Packers in GB (who went on to play in NFC championship)
  • 2018: Beat defending SB champ E-girls in Filly 27-20

The Cowboys will have a chance for a signature road win Sunday. It is probably the biggest opportunity this team will have to make a statement that it is a real contender or just another pretender.

Cowboy's road wins this season...…………..Commanders, Giants, and Lions.

Patriots consecutive home winning streak...………..20
