Hunter2_1 Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 Definition: Are they finally primed to be a perennial NFCCG qualifying team? So, kind of like what the Rams recently become. A superbowl contender, top 5 kind of team. "When you look at the way that Kellen Moore has come in and utilized the team’s offensive weapons. it’s easy to feel safe with him running the ship. It seems that this truly is the case as Cowboys fans are super-confident in the undefeated team." caveat: Yes, only two games (soon to be 3) against pretty poor opposition. But taking that into account. Some quick-fire pointers; - 5th in Red Zone scoring efficiency - 5th in PPG - Kellen Moore has seemingly unlocked Dak and the offense' potential so far. Completion rate is at 83%, which is impressive no matter who the opposition - NO line is giving their QB as much time as Dak has. He's the cleanest QB so far (in W1, they allowed pressure on just 6% of dropbacks) - All-round team, pretty complete of D as well as O. So, is this just a typical hot start facing bad teams and it will fizzle out, or have they finally arrived? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matts4313 Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 (edited) The Cowboys have been hampered by terrible playcalling for years. Our OL and WR's were also performing terrible (compared to expectations), but the play calling magnified the issue. If our OL continues to kill it like we have the first 2 weeks, we can beat any team in the NFL. So in that vein, ya, weve arrived.

But that’s it I would be willing to venture you know absolutely nothing about the Cowboys or what Garrett brings to the table. You probably live and die by the clapper meme regarding Garrett. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BleedTheClock Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 As annoying as @Matts4313 is, and as much as I hate the Cowboys, they’re good. They’re my “pick with my brain not my heart” NFC Champion. They’ll have the honor of getting slaughtered by the Patriots in the Super Bowl this year. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which was an obvi mistake with Linehan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

big_palooka Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 I didn't realize how easy the first half of their schedule is - Dolphins, Brees-less, Saints, Packers, Jets, Eagles, Giants. They only have 2 opponents who are even a challenge here. We will find out all we need to know about the Cowboys in November when they play the Vikings, Pats, Rams.

Drained Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 (edited) Dak is a great player but I must say that his potential probably hasn't been unlocked or something along those lines, though I could be wrong, tearing apart the Giants, Redskins (which was only really a one score game) and the Fins won't necessarily show you've transcended.

theJ Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 It's a hot start, and yeah they'll cool. Probably 2nd half of the season when their schedule gets a little tougher. But, they're still very good. One of probably 5 teams who is in realistic contention for the NFC title. Cowboys, Eagles, Rams, 49ers, Packers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
