Cowboys are the subject of much debate

Sounds like he’ll be inactive for the Cards game. They might as well sit him for the rest of the month and hope the injury will heal with rest. It would be nice to get him back before the Midgets game on Nov 2nd.

Kosier could also be back in time for that game as well.

in his great post earlier, but…

I agree these perspectives aren’t mutually exclusive. I must have posted the comment “ugh” about half a dozen times during the live game thread, and I was definitely less elated after the win than I have been with some other games.

But overall, with all the other stuff that counts for entertainment around the game, why I really love the Cowboys is simply to watch them play. I enjoy watching them play when they lose, though not nearly as much! And I love watching them be dominant and efficient and play really well, but at the same time I have to admit it is sometimes more entertaining to watch a close game. I’d rather watch them win a blowout than lose a close game, but I’d almost rather watch them win a close game than win a blowout. Does that make sense? It is just more entertaining when the outcome of the game is in doubt to the end, when they fight back or forth, or hold off a comeback, or make one themselves. The Eagles game this year was one of the most entertaining games I’ve ever watched, and last year the Bills game was one of the most frustrating to watch during the game but it also kept me on the edge of my seat and when we pulled out the Folkin’ win I was more elated than other games where we won easily and played much better.

And when they lose or especially if they win in less than perfect fashion, while I recognize that there are problems and mistakes and things that need to be corrected, I really try not to let those things get out of perspective with the main point for me, which is to just enjoy watching them play. Because of that, I guess I’ll always be the homer, glass more than half-full fan, and that’s the way I like it!

I’m in the “Room for Improvement” camp.

The last two seasons we could see the team’s Grit and Determination in both wins and losses. This year is more of a MEH reaction.

The attitude by DeMarcus the one to me that means he’s hungry for more than win. He wants to dominate. That attitude has to be contagious. You can see it revisit team defenses like Baltimore and Tampa Bay…..it’s obvious in younger defenses like Tennessee and the Giants that would supposedly be lost with Osi and Strahan.

Need to get to the QB..

He sides with Brady James in that the media’s expectations might not be fair these days but he also points out that with the stars on the Cowboys roster, the attention is going to be there.

at least on a subconscious level, try to compare them to the ’90s teams and thats simply unfair.

The goal for this team is to be the best team in the league, not the greatest team of all time.

Expectations are certainly too high IMO. We can win a SB without being dominant in every game. The last 3 SB winners are all proof of that.

but 2 weeks ago the Giants squeaked by the Bengals in overtime. This week they DESTROYED the Seahawks 44-6. Football’s a funny game. All these media folks who are turning on the Cowboys now b/c they haven’t looked as dominant as they all made them out to be will be right back on the bandwagon next time the ‘Boys blow someone out. I hate your team, but I recognize that they are extremely talented and are gonna be one of the last teams standing at the end of the year (hopefully with my Giants). Can’t wait to face you guys in 4 weeks, should be a great battle.

I didn’t hear the media/fans all aflutter that the Giants are soft, lacking leadership, lacking focus, lacking the will to win, whatever.

You definitely would have heard something if the Giants had Lost that game in overtime….The NY media would be calling for Coughlin’s head amongst other hysterical opinions.
