Yesterday smelled like 2003

Are you kidding? Against Philly your lover had 146 yards passing 1 INT yet we rushed for over 150 yards as a team you also fail to mention before tht "defensive breakdown" Carter went 3 and out deep in our own end giving Philly a short field.

As for Carolina Quincy had 2 TDs one a 50 yard drive and one was 12 yards thatnks to a Roy Williams INT our defense gave us great field position that game

Quincy Carter went to Bernie Kosar's QB camp and was obviously one of the greats in the history of the Cowboys franchise. Don't go tarnishing his glowing reputation with facts.

Would you turn up your nose at either of those scores if we beat the Broncos, Chiefs or Panthers by any of those amounts? Considering that both the Eagles and Panthers had excellent seasons that year, I would think not.

But the main point was that our 3rd year qb outplayed more experienced qb's in big games, and with no running game. We had a substantial the edge in scoring, passing yardage, and time of possession. Our qb brought us from behind against two quality opponents, with no running game and in beating Carolina, we tied for the best record in the NFC. You also seem to forget that when our D got the sack and fumble, our offense had got the lead back for us and it was a defensive breakdown that led to Buckhalter's touchdown run in the first place.

Hey I think wins count the same no matter how they come, I'm an old fan and I remember many many seasons when the wins weren't a thing of beauty. After all Starbach didn't get the nickname of Captain Comeback for no reason, and while the 90's team was a powerful team there were many game which were grindem out type of wins just like Sundays against the Lions.

As far as comparing this team with the 2003 team IMO that is absurd, the 2003 roster was mostly mediocre players who for the most part are no longer in the NFL. That team won because of Parcells coaching and a defense led by Darren Woodson, they were doing it with smoke and mirrors. The second game at Carolina exposed the real talent level of that team.

This team has had a tremendous turnover from just last year, and many of those players are rookies. This team is much more talented but it lacks the consistency which comes from playing together for a couple of years. Its nothing unusual for young teams to take a year or two to find consistency, really young teams struggling its more like the rule than it is the exception.
