I’m sure there’s some eager beaver who read the title of the post and then immediately jumped into the comments section to vent at the ridiculousness of such a question.
Don’t be that guy.
Sure, the 2016 Cowboys were 6-1 after seven games, a marked difference from this year’s 4-3 team. Then again, this year’s team has a better record than the 3-4 record the 2018 team had after seven games.
Yet that 2018 team won its wildcard game against the Seahawks before bowing out to the Rams in the divisional round, while the 2016 team was one and done in the playoffs.
