Why all the panic?

[BourbonBalz]

Well lets look at it.. we have left:

Arz Away
Indy Home
Tampa Home
gaints away
saints Home
falcons away
philly Home
detroit Home

I don't see 3 teams there that are better than us.. So I do think getting to 10-6 if very possible. And I am going to call it right here and right now.. we beat INDY.

Let's see now. Indy is 8-0. Giants 6-2. Saints 6-2. Falcons 5-3. Philly is tied with us and has already destroyed our O-line. You did take math in school didn't you?

I'm not trying to be a smart***. Just realistic. I think we have as much talent as any of these teams (possible exception of Indy), but we don't execute, we're inconsistent, we don't put teams away, and we don't play smart. It's mid-season and I haven't seen anything that has changed since week 1. What makes you think it will? Don't reply with "I just know we'll play better". That's a load of crap. Why do you think we will? What have you seen to back it up?

No way Dallas beats Indy. The Patriots couldn't even get it done. This defense with all the number 1 picks on it cannot get pressure. I actually blame this on the guy making the defensive calls. I don't know if its Zimmer or Parcells, but someone is getting seriously outcoached. I honestly beleive freeny could play the opposite OLBer spot from Ware and this defense would still not get pressure. This needs to change in a hurry.

i see three teams better than us, indy, NYG, and ATL. however i think we will upset one of them and run the table against the rest. i hope you are right about beating indy, but i think the best chance at beating one of those teams will be atlanta. its a lot more like that vick will have a bad game than peyton

Are the Commander's better than us? Are the Jaguars or Eagles better than us? My answer is No, but we still lost to them...

I'm not a very pessimistic person but if we can't win the games that we should win, how are we gonna make it to the playoffs?

Yep. In this parity-driven league, the "better" team doesn't always win. In fact, it's often difficult to assess who really is better. It changes every week.

Its kinda funny and its kinda sad on this board at times, but I do enjoy the emotion that is here. But I don't understand the panic in the fans. I mean.. almost everyone had us pegged as a 10-6 team to begin the year. I thought 10-6 was very reachable and I still do,, one reason I think it is,, is because we haven't got to the number 6 yet.. I mean does it really matter when, or how you lose the six games? I understand that you want to win as many and as often as possible.. but until we get to 6, I won't panic. This team is prob the best team talent wise that has suited up since our last superbowl,, if they would just make one more play a game,, we could win out.. seriously. So don't panic just yet.. have faith.. and GO Cowobys!!!!1

PS... for everyone that don't remember the years before BP arrived.. 97-02, our record was 39-57,, since 29-27,, not great by anymeans,, but better!!

I agree. We're fine. We just need to regroup (especially that defense) and eat a big slice of humble pie. Then we need to go out and whip Arizona all over the field.

Because I choose to live in a world where anything is possible.

But seriously.. I base it on the law of averages.. really! If one person is making a mistake over and over again.. you replace that person and it is fixed.. IE Bledsoe.. But what we have now, are different players making one mental mistake , right at the worst possible time Ie Witten today on the FG,, he knows he is supposed to blockdown.. everyone knows he is supposed to block down.. he made a mental mistake at the worst possible time.. this just can't keep happening over and over... it just goes against the law of averages.. and to take it one step further.. a tipped pass that falls into the WR arms for a TD, a perfectly thrown td , dropped by our WR,, just stuff like that.. it has to even out ,, that is the law.. once we get on the side where everything starts averaging out.. the ball will bounce our way.. and we will be able to win some games..

( Shakey concept I know.. but its the best I got right now,, gotta stay positive and keep the faith)

Yea, well what I'm afraid is that everything WILL even out and we'll be even at 8-8. We're certainly right on course for that.

This team has had 1 three game winning streak (05) and 1 five game winning streak (03) under Parcells.
The way they are playing I don't see them winning 6 of 8. Not saying its impossible, just improbable.
They are too screw up prone and after today the defense lost whatever heart it may have had.
The only real chance they have is for Romo to get ultra-hot and win some shootout games scoring 30+ points a game.
Anyone who thinks this defense can stop a good team from scoring is deluding themselves on a scale only TO could appreciate.
