I didn't have high expectations for the year but I did expect playoffs, we were close and would have achieved it if it weren't for the countless injuries. I think we are a few years from being a legitimate contender but believe we are in the right direction. Only time will tell who is right, I wouldn't bet against the Cowboys.

To me, expecting playoffs was having high expectations. Hoping for the playoffs is one thing, but expecting them? Nah.
Nothing about this team prior to the season should've had people expecting anything but what was achieved. 8-8 and no playoffs. And then to start the season off the way they did, pretty much solidified that opinion for me, tho I was happy for every W they got.
I think expectations were raised as the Cowboys made their last minute run, which is why so many folks are upset at yet another missed opportunity.
