I hope for the sake of Farooq that this Dallas team isn't waiting to turn back into pumpkins.
As an outsider with no skin in the game as far as Dallas is concerned, I always hear warning sirens when a defense is playing beyond themselves. Will it hold up? Or will they come back down to Earth and then the games fall back on Romo's shoulders and Murray's legs? I don't have the answers. I can't really tell who they are.
Lost to the 9ers and beat up on some mediocre to poor squads, then beat a good team in Seattle. I'm leaning towards the idea that the offense will be good and consistent, but the defense won't hold up. Then again they have the following QBs to face the rest of the year so who knows:
Eli x2, Stanton, Bortles, Foles x2, Cutler, Luck, and Cousins x2
So far only Luck and Foles are playing well or with any consistency. So it will be hard to judge who they are unless they just start running wild on teams. October football is such an odd duck.
I will say that plenty of commentators, even on the Denver radio station are declaring them as 'for real', so maybe I should shelve any concerns.
I would laugh hysterically if Bill ever said they prepared all offseason for one division game...
Division games count for 2, so there is some merit behind his claim.
