Doesn't matter this team isn't good enough to take advantage.

This team is a giant hot mess. Its hard to look at the remaining schedule and find more than two wins.

I thought this was an 8-8 team before the season started due to a sorry oline, so it was over for me in the preseason. It is not going to do any good if the Cowboys make the playoffs. They are not a good team and won't win the Super Bowl if they do make it. A few wins will keep JJ from making any changes, so I am at the point that I don't care if they win another game.

This right here. We can't count on our team winning. When you rely on other teams losing all the time, that points to how bad your team sucks.

I hope the wheels fall off so we can make some badly needed changes.

We've been down this road so many times only to have our team fail to produce.

So many previous chances to finally shake the loser mentality but always giving into it.

I'll hope for it, but I won't expect anything other than another broken heart.

First, I attended my first Thanksgiving Day game with my in laws who live in Plano, and had a blast. Dez fumble was huge, and I think if he does not fumble there we go score and go up 10-0. Momentum is a heck of a thing. The way today turned out in games with teams we are "competing" against is why I was so mad about the game Thursday. Playoffs are there for the taking and we simnply can't put a damn game together.

Nothing that happened today will improve the OL play.

This is a team who is battling several major injuries to
key players including Pro Bowl talents like Lee, Austin, Jenkins, Murray,
Carter and Ratliff. Other key starters missing include Costa, Smith, Church and
Coleman. That is 11 key players - that's half the starting lineup. Yet we still went 8-8.

Doesn't matter what other teams do when Dallas can't handle it's own business.

About 25% right now depending on the Giants game.
Did you know there are only 5000 Snow Leopards in the wild now and they are confined to Central Asia? However, the effective global population (those likely to reproduce) is less than half that number.

The outcome of Thursdays game diminished any hope I had for the Cowboys this season. Losing to a 4 win team being led by a rookie QB in a critical game puts a lid on this season as far as I'm concerned. The outcome of games by teams within the division and by other teams in the NFC have gone the Cowboys way practically all season but they continue to lose. The Cowboys will be lucky just to go 8-8 again.

In reality my expectations with the current state of the team are that we are a .500 team.

My hope is that we find a way into the playoffs.

Last time I checked...hope is not a strategy.
