Were you around for 44-6, 34-3 and 45-7?

Business as usual.

I hope the team wins but not expecting it. Only will be upset if they get blown out

I think many are realistic about the Cowboy's chances in Baltimore.

Most would like the Cowboys to win, but Baltimore is an elite team playing at home.

The odds are the Cowboys are going to lose.

Like some others pointed out, a lot of it will depend upon how they lose– if they do so.

That's a good point though true

If its Felix that screws up, then the board will be calling for his head once again. If its Murray, well people will probably make excused for him.If we get blown out, then it will be a confirmation to many that this team just isn't that good. If they flat out quit then it will be seen as evidence of a pervasive cultural problem throughout the organization.
c/s


after the chicago game, i think most sensible fans realize this is at best an average team. many here have predicted a loss to the ravens so expectations are low. i don't think there will be much chaos on cz if the team loses in a respectable fashion. the problem is, this team doesn't do that. they normally lose in a cataclysmic embarrassing fashion either from an avalanche of self-inflicted errors or a sleep-walking passionless effort. i hope after a bye week that is not the case b/c if it is, then there are serious issues within the fabric of this franchise.

Yeah.

I think we have a shot at this one, but not too many out there will pick us, that's for sure. It's not like the Ravens have lost at home in about 2 years.
Still, I actually do think we have a real chance...45% or so.

Like most, don't expect them to win. Hope they do put up a reasonable fight.
1. if they are blown out and just go thru the motions - as they have done Alot over the last few years. Then yes, it is a sign of a culture problem within the club. And will def. write this season off. (Will always watch the games and root for Dallas, just won't be emotionally vested in this team).
2. If by some miracle they managed to pull off the upset. I would fully expect them to play down to Carolina the following week and lose. Win one. lose one - seams to be their M.O. right now...

It really befuddles me, how is it (already looking ahead to next years draft) that this team STILL has so many holes ?
The last few years it's been " there are too many holes to fill in just one draft "
News flash - there are still way too many holes to fill ! We still have so many differant areas of need, that I just dont see us being competative any time soon ! Oline, Dline, Safety(s), OLB what do we do about the lack of production at receiver, another tight end. We fixed corner last year and thats it ! Now if we lose Jenkins and Spencer this off season, we still need to replace them as well ! 09 was just stupid - we all know that, 10 - we got Tyron great. This year we got Claiborne and Carr great. But thats it.
I constantly laugh/cry now when all these talking heads keep saying we are loaded with talent, I used to beleive that as well. But its just not true any more.
Dont think we need a QB yet, we have Witten, ILB look set, main line corners are good. Another draft is not gonna put us over the top, too many needs !
( Rant over )....

Quite! Crickets chirping! slow blow of wind over the grass with a young girl walking though the field........Then a vision of a dirt bag GM entering this scene and the field disappears and the young girl turns into an old-hag. The world of the Dallas Cowboys turns upside down with the Oline not blocking for anyone and damage to the Best QB in 10 years and another running back Failing due to no holes to run though the Oline.

This is the nightmare that I after a Rum and Coke. Just sharing a few thoughts with some old friends.

I would be happy with just a full effort from this team , win or lose.

That would be a step in the right direction.
