Winning is infectious

[Diehardblues]

This team appears to be building a winning attitude. Once that train begins rolling it’s difficult to derail it off the tracks.

Yesterday much like in LA was a game where the balance could have gone either way. But once you become a team that looks for ways to win instead of ways to lose it builds confidence and is infectious.

We’ve had enough offense at several different points this era but we haven’t had this type of defense to compliment it. And while we aren’t a stat leader overall on defense we are the most opportunistic.

An offense like ours which no one has found a way to stop with an opportunistic defense creating turnovers while stifling our opponents is a very healthy situation. One that could take us further than we’ve seen in a very long time.

It was predictable with our schedule.

These are games we should win.

The Chargers game was surprising though.

While a couple of these were predictable winning games , it’s the manner in which we’re winning which provides this infectious culture.

 

[Verdict]

The Chargers game was surprising though.

The Cowboys team is playing better overall, I think, than anyone really expected. They may have hoped we would get play like this but not expected it.

I am pretty optimistic, and the overall play has exceeded my expectations. This team is on a fast track, meteoric rise. Let’s hope it continues.

I like the winning confidence. I don't like The College attitude of We've got this game in the bag lets put the backups in and sit back and relax. Like Zeke said we need to Choke them out at the end of the game and not relax they understand just need to correct that.

 

[Risen Star]

I'm not sure a 3 game winning streak washes away all the losing most of these players have been attached to.

But hey, Go Cowboys.

Last second comebacks are very typical in the NFL. While the Panthers made it interesting at the end I didn’t feel like the games result was seriously threatened.

And unlike in college where many games are often over early it’s just not that way in the NFL.

i've watched the game 2x already once live and then playback on dvr, you can see them relax after they are up 15+ points. the coverage after that 2nd pick and 3 and out next drive went to prevent and running of the ball in jumbo sets was picking up. less creativity until they scored those 14 points. Then you see them kick it back in gear more pressure more spread sets and running

The hope is the young guys, especially on defense will lead to the culture change required. Guys like Parsons, Diggs, Osi and even Kearse will hopefully take over the leadership reins over the pretenders like Lawrence, Jaylon and LVE.

We are seeing positive early signs that this is happening, but they have a long way to go.

Of course not. It hasn’t washed away all of my skepticism.

But I think at some point we need to recognize when something appears to look different than what we’ve been accustomed to and critical of all these years.

This might not be it but it certainly looks like more than we’ve seen at least in recent years. Time will tell. But I’d rather be out in front of it and be disappointed that to not have possibly recognized it.

Again, I think that’s pretty typical in the NFL. Once they came within one score we closed the deal. I think the Panthers deserve some credit for not turning in the towel too.

For me at least it's not at all about a win streak but more about how they're getting the wins.... I think all of us diehards can see something is very different about this team! I remember not long ago if Shaun Lee was out it was a guaranteed loss, or if our backups had to play we would struggle because they never got enough reps. Big Mike may struggle with in game situations but he seems to have a knack for getting everyone on the roster involved.

This just feels different?

If you're asking a question, the answer is yes.. This years team looks very foreign to what I'm use to, but in a good way...
