It is possible, perhaps even likely, that you had the Dallas Cowboys at 2-2 through the first four games of the season. That would hardly shock anyone.
While that may or may not have been the case, the manner in which Dallas has arrived here was predictable in a sense, but that hasn’t made the much any less annoying to crawl through. Whatever the case, here the Cowboys are indeed a .500 operation through four games and have earned a moment to sit back, breathe and reset.
Most fan fears about this team were not quelled on Thursday night, but finding a way to win ugly is a skill whether or not that makes anyone happy.
