Diggs another interception.

Last time the Cowboys had a CB this good was when Deion was a Cowboy.

Absolute domination by the Cowboys against the Panthers.

Impressive victory for the Boys this week considering we came off a Monday night and the panthers had 4 days extra rest on us. Two very nice wins in a row. I hope we don't lay an egg vs. the Giants this week. Cowboys seem to be laser focused so far this year. Like to see what we totally have when we are fully healthy.

I remember when Dennis " Dirt" Thurman had 3 INT's in a playoff game vs. the Packers in 1983.

The spread vs the Giants is 7 pts but I feel like it should be closer to 14 pts.

We should completely obliterate them they are one of the worst teams in the NFL.

I'm not ready to shake my royal blue, silver and white pom poms yet. Its been a very long 25 years and so much could still go wrong. Remember, we still have McCarthy and Jerry.

I think this season is different.

Reason why it's been 25 years is because Tony Romo couldn't win in big games.

Dak is different.

If the Cowboys don't suffer any major injuries then the NFC championship game is a strong possibility.

Meh, Romo was actually pretty clutch overall and that has basically been proven. There are better places to point the finger IMO but it's not just ONE thing, every year has it's own faults and story.

I love Dak though and I definitely think he is special. His work ethic as about as good as it gets and he has a true leader mentality. If he is healthy I don't see how we could possibly lose the NFCE this year. Playoffs are a given. But there are definitely a number of teams in the NFC that are right there with us.

-Tampa Bay
-Arizona
-LA Rams
-Packers

I think any of those teams could potentially take us out...I also think we have the ability to beat them. We just have to stay healthy and then get "HOT" come playoff time.

Not once did Romo reach the NFC championship game.

Romo's Cowboys had multiple seasons where they were very good, especially in 2007, but Romo always came up short in the playoffs.

I'm not saying Romo is not clutch, but for whatever reason, Romo never had success in the playoffs.

First off it's a team sport, the entire team came up short. Pinning everything on just Romo is a very black and white take.

Second, there are maybe 2 post season games where you can really pin the loss on a Romo blunder. And one of those is the muffed snap which is where the entire "he's not clutch" mindset sprouted from.

He was 2-4 in the post season with 8 TDs and only 2 INTs...to think it was THAT holding us back over 25 years while QBs like Nick Foles and Peyton when he was the worst QB in the NFL taking home rings because of their TEAM is short sited.

Sometimes in the NFL it's just flat out luck too. Any given Sunday. The bounce of the ball. A blown ref call.

The NFL doesn't get a 7 game series like the NBA to really flesh out who the better team is. It's ONE game to see who moves forward, and realistically speaking it isn't always the better team that moves forward in the NFL.

Yeah, that's why I said it's not about being clutch.

Maybe Romo is just an unlucky guy.

But the point is he never had success in the playoffs.

I grew up watching the Troy Aikman Cowboys.

Every time Troy and the Cowboys had a 12-win season, they always ended up in the Super Bowl or the NFC championship game.

Romo had 9 seasons to try to at least make the NFC championship.

Not once did he reach the NFC championship game in 9 tries.

For some strange reason I've become extremely nervous about this weeks game vs. the Giants. I'm so used to our Boys laying an egg after winning a couple in a row. Its not like we have Landry and Staubach running the show.

I think this season is going to be different.

Maybe it will be a close game, but I doubt the Giants have enough to upset the Cowboys.

Dak just has too many weapons and the defense is solid this season.

I'm expecting the Boys to be 5-1 heading into the bye week.

Micah Prescott · Post #35 » by **Micah Prescott** » Fri Oct 8, 2021 8:09 pm

I am honestly expecting a complete blow out. And a lot that expectation is not about the Cowboys and more to do with the fact that the Giants are a REALLY REALLY bad football team.

I expect them to have a top-3 pick in the draft.

Fierce1 · Post #36 » by **Fierce1** » Sun Oct 10, 2021 10:03 pm

Giants playing well until Barkley and Daniel Jones went down with injuries.

Fierce1 · Post #37 » by **Fierce1** » Sun Oct 10, 2021 10:27 pm

Another INT for Diggs.

That's 6 already in 5 games.

bluejerseyjinx · Post #38 » by **bluejerseyjinx** » Sun Oct 10, 2021 10:33 pm

Zac Martin doesn't get enough love for how great he is.

For the first time since 2009, I think this team is legit.

True.

The offense is elite and the defense is solid.

And to think they're still missing key players on offense and defense.
