The Dallas Cowboys are not playing their best football. Half-empty people see this as a problem. Dallas lost a game to one of the conference’s three main opponents, finding themselves completely embarrassed, and they also underperformed and lost to one of the five worst teams in the league.
Hall fullers? They see a team tied for the second-best record in the league (behind five 5-1 squads) at 4-2, with plenty of room to improve. Their faults are in parts of the game they’ve been good at, for years, and recapturing that could lead to magical things. They have 11 games to figure it all out, and some of those waters are deep, filled with snakes and sharks.

Well, now we know the lowest rating I will give. They’re still professionals but they’re a bad team and they’re probably sold out at this point.

Nice matchup here as Stafford is back to balling and it will be a solid test for Dan Quinn’s defense.

On one hand, Dallas has won six of seven at home against Washington opponents, regardless of their name at the time. On the other, the loss was on Thanksgiving where they punked the Cowboys in a blowout win. An illegal hit by Jon Bostic outraged fans and the league, but the players on the field did nothing.
Footballers constantly test themselves, but if anyone wants to look back at how the current iteration of this club has built a reputation that their opponents should seek to intimidate them, here it is is a typical example.

Seattle already has a big road win, handing the Detroit Lions their only defeat of the season, but that was back in Week 2. It’s tough to get a read on just what caliber of team Seattle is in 2023, other than they have capable ceilings.

Dallas has failed to score a touchdown in two of their last three trips to Washington, which is tragic considering just how much of a home-field advantage they’ve had in that stadium for the last 20 years.

The fact that this is a game The sixth toughest game remaining for the Cowboys shows just how dangerous the game is. the glove is. The Lions are 5-1 and some believe they are the best team in the NFC right now. Dallas has won the last five meetings, but they better take this one seriously. The narrative of the Lions being a blue-collar franchise and we know how that affects the reputation of the country club is attributed to the Cowboys.
