You make some valid points. I don’t know if anyone believes Wade is an idiot or Garrett is the anti-christ, but there are some that aren’t on a love fest with them. We all hope they come out of the bye and show the team they are capable of being. Go Cowboys.

We watch football to see the games and the season unfold. No one knows what is going to happen. And for all the talk we fans can do, which is what fans do, we don’t control anything, and can’t do anything about it anyway.

So I feel like I’d rather focus more on the positive, not to deny the negative, but try not to overreact to it. At 3-2 we’re not where we hoped to be going into the bye, which for some (me) was 5-0 or at least 4-1, but we’re also not in a horrible place where the season is over and the sky has fallen. And while the consistency of the quality of play has been frustrating at times, it has also been well-executed and inspiring and fun and dominant at times too, in all phases. While there’s a lot to question, there’s also a lot to like. Like after the KC game it seems like everyone forgot they were I think the least penalized team in the league going into that game. We tend to take the latest mistakes and magnify them. And what’s frustrating is that they have yet to put together a complete game, so every game there’s been something not working right. But at the same time, every game there’s actually been a lot that is working right.

So my feeling right now is that they actually have shown all the pieces to be a very good team, capable of beating any team in the league (hello, the Giants widely considered the best team in the league barely beat us and needed +4 turnovers to do it on the last play of the game), if they can bring all the pieces together consistently. If they can stop beating themselves. Which is a big if, of course. But I’d much rather be in the position of having all the pieces and knowing each can execute, and just needing to execute consistently and cut down on the mistakes, than not having the pieces at all. I’d rather need to stop being ourselves, than not actually being able to beat anyone else. We can beat any team in this league!

Things change a lot over the course of a season. Teams come together, and teams fall apart. Just in the last couple weeks, our early perceptions of the league have been shaken up quite a bit with several teams.

Here’s the teams that share the Cowboys 3-2 record right now:
Jets
Patriots
Ravens
Steelers
49ers

Like the Cowboys, all have looked very good at times and all have struggled at times and been inconsistent in areas. All have had a hard time putting it all together, but all are respected franchises with lots of talent who are still well in the mix at this point. Like the Cowboys.

So we don’t know whether this team, coached by these coaches, actually will get it done. But I don’t doubt for a minute that they want nothing more than to do so, and are working very hard to get it done—for us, the fans. And as much as we can second-guess and criticize and speculate, they’re going to come out next week against Atlanta and either get it done, or not. Based on what I’ve seen so far, I’m certainly not supremely confident that they will, but I also know they’ve got a very decent chance to.

And for me, what’s it’s about is actually watching the games. Watching it unfold live and not knowing what’s going to happen. And no matter how much we want to talk about it and analyze it in between, that’s what I really love about football. The game. Each play, not knowing what’s going to happen, and watching it unfold. The anxiety and excitement in the roller-coaster ride of a good football game.

And yeah, I want our team to just come out and execute perfectly and never lose a game. Or at least execute pretty well and not lose more than 5 or 6 lol and get into the playoffs lol.

But right now, despite all the imperfections and inconsistencies, I know we’ve got a team that is quite capable of winning every single week, and that wants to win every week, and is still very much in the mix. We’ve got a few great players and a lot of very good players, and we’ve got coaches who actually should be able to put the players in position to win, and I guarantee you they all want to win just as much as we want them to win.

Here’s to them coming back after the bye week focused, disciplined, and ready to rock and roll!

Newman is not having a solid season.

Otherwise, fresh and solid points.

Wade is an idiot.

Take a look at our d.backs and tell me you are satisfied with them! They play off too far from WRs and they do not like to tackle. They are the last set of guys before any teams score and our starting with T. Newman is the so-called leader who has fake skills. I don’t hear no bloggin’ on them but we all need to take a good look at our DBs.
