First, I admit that I hate the Cowboys. I also hate Bill Parcells. So that will explain some of the bias to my post.
The Cowboys are better than I expected them to be this year. I suspect that they are better than Parcells expected too.
Now, they are coming into the hardest part of their schedule. They have the top rated defense and the 4th rated offense. I don't think they can maintain those ratings, but that doesn't mean they aren't on their way back.
The point is that, in this day of parity in the NFL, they are back to being competitive. Since it seems like there will not be any more dynasties, will they become one of the temporary elite teams? Maybe in the next year or two, but not this year.
I still think that it is probably 50/50 for them to make the playoffs. But the reality is that they can. All they need is to keep playing well and get a few breaks.
I'll be rooting against them. But that doesn't mean that I don't respect the steps that they've made.
