Another NFL week has come and gone and while it is starting to feel like we have an idea on who the serious players are across the league, much about what we wanted to know about the Dallas Cowboys remains a mystery.
Are they contending? Are they close? Are they trying? These are all fair questions. Dallas has reached their bye week with a .500 record to show for their work which is not as horrible as we all feel, but it sort of feels like dark clouds are on the horizon as winter approaches.
Perhaps an off week will lead to things cooling down a bit, but there is never off time relative to the league as a whole.
