The Dallas Cowboys are one of the better teams in the NFL right now, but nobody hands out trophies for that being the case on December 5th. As true as it is that the Cowboys are in a prominent position, the only way that they can get rid of the shadow that has been hanging over the head of the franchise for just about three decades is if they make some serious noise in the playoffs. The trouble with that is you have to get into the playoffs in order to make noise in them.
Thankfully for us that has become quite commonplace around here throughout the Mike McCarthy era.
