Around SBN: The Ten Worst Swings Of The 2011 Season

Progress



Our beloved Cowboys won.  That is good.

Star-divide

What is better, is that they won in workman-like fashion.  Think back to 2007.  We were 13-3.  We were on top of the world ma!  But in that 13-3 we had the Buffalo game and the Detroit game.  Games where we were easily superior to our opponent but didn't have the fortitude to put them in their place.

This game could have easily been the same.  A key Divisional scrum on the horizon, a banged up former contender coming in to Big D.  We already played a stinker against the Chiefs and this game had that potential written all over it.

Instead, Dallas took control and won easily.  Seattle was game, but overmatched, and we didn't let them hang around.  That is a sign of progress.

 

p.s. Sure is an interesting quirk of the schedule that we are almost half-way through the season and have only played one Division game.

yeah, that is weird

5 out of our 9 remaining opponents are divisional foes. Some really big games coming up, should be exciting.

2 of the 5 are Washington

Does that even count?

The Knights season may have just ended, but the Cowboys year is just begining!

1989 Cowboys

I think that’s right. They went 1-15. Their one win? Against the Redskins.

Yes, i would say they count.

2009 Dallas Cowboys: 10-6
2009 New York Jets: 11-5?
2009-2010 Dallas Mavericks: 57-25

Agreed.

I don’t know whether to love our schedule or hate it. On one hand, we pretty much control our own destiny. As Terry mentioned, 5 of 9 left are against Beast teams. If we win them all, the worst we could do is 10-6, but would win the East. We should beat Oakland and San Diego, so we’d probably sit at 12-4 and be feeling good about ourselves.

On the other hand, having that many NFC East games at the end….we could be banged up come playoffs. And that’s the last thing we need.

JERRY: I worked a club in Dallas one time and they couldn't afford to pay me so they gave me these. Oh, I can't wear these! They look ridiculous!

KRAMER: Ah, you look like a cowboy! Huh?

JERRY: But I don't wanna be a cowboy!
