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.

I think you don't get it because you're a cowboys fan. Everything is bigger in Texas...including their ignorance.

For the 'subpar' comment, it's like the cowboys defense, there's really not much to it. You seemed to highlight all of the one-sided aspects of the team and left out some particulars. The cowboys defense is 21st in the league letting 357.8 total yds roll a game and has the 28th ranked pass defense giving 251.4 pass yards a game.

The cowboys aren't doing as well as you might seem to think. In fact, why would any owner need address the fact that they aren't firing their coach if they are where they should be so far this season.


By the way, I know shots at the Skins are easy and all, but not during ANY POINT did I back up the on field performance of the Skins. It's easy to start ranking on them I know, but you're not proving anything to me that I don't already know about them...It's not like I'm disillusioned about my team like you are.
