By the way, 5-0 is way above par. Sub-par is below what is average. In the NFC East they are in 3rd place out of 4. Whether you agree or not the cowboys are not meeting their expectations.
Look at the bright side though...at least you won't go into overtime with a winless team this week.

Ok, thats irony for you, talkng smack about going to OT with a winless team, albiet winning in OT, when the Redskins have LOST to 2 winless teams, could not score a TD against the third winless team and barely squeeked out a win in a FedEx filed that resounded with boos. Not to mention they host a third winless team this Sunday.
Yet even after all that, Dallas still has the #1 offense in total yards and 8th in yards per game. Do we even want to discuss where the Redskins ranked? (HINT: It is in the low to mid 20's). The only 2 losses Dallas has are against 2 of only 5 undefeated teams in the NFL. And in those 2 games Dallas either had the lead in the last minutes of the game or were in position to take the lead. Taking 2 of the best teams in the league (this season) to the wire is okay.
Even without Owens (and what has Owens done thus far) Romo is still the #5 QB in the league in total yards, #8 in yards per game.

What expecatations? I know the preseason polls I read, and most posters on this board were in concurrence speculating the Cowboys finishing no better than 9-7 this season, probably 8-8 and missing the playoffs.
All of these "Power Rankings" that sports sites do, none have ever had the Cowboys ranked higher than 14th in the NFL.
So what expectations are you referring to? I know it cant be the players expectations. Because the next question would be what were the Redskins players expectations for the season?
So I really do not get the 'subpar' comment. I think they are right about where we expected them to be.
