Cowboys Reacts Week 8: Team confidence and trade deadline are the questions of the week

The Dallas Cowboys have finally moved past their bye week are are in earnest preparation for their upcoming game against the Los Angeles Rams. The Sunday game will take place in AT&T Stadium as the Cowboys return home after hitting the road in their last game, a 20-17 win over the Chargers.

The Cowboys record on the year is 4-2 and they are positioned to make the playoffs in the NFC at this roughly mid-point of the season. But there is still a lot of football left to be played and the Cowboys uneven performances so far have the fan base a little uneasy. Are they the world-beaters of the first couple of weeks, or the doormats we saw in San Francisco?

We have two questions in our survey this week. One is our standard question on the confidence in the direction for the team. The other concerns the trade deadline which is coming soon (Oct. 31st).

Most Cowboys fans would like the team to be active at the trade deadline, but which direction should they go? We collected up the four positions we see most often mentioned for the Cowboys in a trade - linebacker, cornerback, wide receiver, tight end - and put them into a question. At which of those four positions would you most like for the Cowboys to acquire help?

Vote in the poll then hit the comments and let us know your thoughts.
