"Will the real Dallas Cowboys please stand up? After yet another loss, this time a 44-24 drubbing on the road to the Broncos, it's becoming exceedingly more difficult to pin down this team. There's a few reasons for that, but the biggest factor that sticks out is the home/away splits. When playing in Dallas, the Cowboys are 2-0-1 and their offense has scored at least 40 points each time."
"It's hard to figure out why they seem to play so much better at home. It's not like AT&T Stadium is a notoriously hostile environment. Given how lost they look on both sides of the ball on the road, it may be as much mental as anything else. I've no idea how they could address that. Chances of making the playoffs are shrinking rapidly, and effectively may be gone."
"David: Actually, I feel like there's plenty of reason for hope. First things first, the Broncos game. That's probably the best defense they'll face all year, and it's top three at worst. Playing poorly against such an elite defense while on the road in a notoriously difficult place to play isn't going to change my mind about how good this offense is. As for the defense, there's also the fact"
The Cowboys show stark home/away splits: 2-0-1 at AT&T Stadium with at least 40 points scored in each home game, but 1-4 on the road averaging only 24 points. A 44-24 loss to the Broncos highlighted on-field inconsistency and offensive struggles away from home. A home game versus a Cardinals team on a five-game losing streak offers a chance to rebound. Road woes may stem from mental factors and roster deficiencies. Playoff odds are shrinking for some observers, while others emphasize the offense's potential and point to the Broncos as an elite defensive matchup.
