Will the real Dallas Cowboys please stand up

[J12B]

This team is poised for a Superbowl run.

Get ready.

6th Superbowl is coming to this franchise.

 

[JoeKing]

It's two words... Super Bowl.
Not Superbowl. Say it right or keep those words out of your disrespectful mouth. Got it?

 

[Jake]

Other than hope, why is this team poised for a Super Bowl run?

The Cowboys are 34-33 the last 4 seasons, which is consistent with what they've been the last 20+ years. Perhaps those are the "real" Dallas Cowboys?

Superbowl....

Super Bowl......

 

[Jipper]

not this year....2022 is the better shot....this team has a lot of young players that are being counted on to play big roles on the team. They will be fun, exciting and at time frustrating to watch this year but not in the same way that they were last year.

I think we will all be happy about a wild card victory win but fall short in the divisional round....its going to have a lot of 1991 feeling to it...should be a very fun year

 

[Risen Star]

I mean, I don't know if you can look at last season and not see this team is ready to compete for a Super Bowl.

6th Superbowl is coming to this franchise.

I feel it too, brother!

#1 ranked offense with between a 7th and 12th ranked defense will lead us to that 6th Super Bowl trophy.

 

[MountaineerCowboy]

You went from "Dak is going to lead the Cowboys to a Super Bowl win in 2021. Bet on it." to " This team is poised for a Super Bow run".

I see the confidence is dwindling slowly.

And TB missed the playoffs for 12 straight seasons, then won it.

The had blinders on.

 

[LucaBrasi]

Jerry, is that you?

 

[USArmyVet]

Tom Brady will do that for a team.

 

[jazzcat22]

Tom Brady will do that for a team.

Along with a great defense to help hm. If he did not have that, Brady would not have won.

TB did miss all those years, but you could tell they were on the verge of something. 2017, they were not that bad as the record, you could tell they were getting better. 2018, I believe they had a lot of injuries also in 2018. 2019, toward the end of the season you could see that defense getting better. Offense was not too bad, but they had no QB.
2020 it came together on both sides of the ball.

As for Dallas, they are up and down so much, one really can't tell, and that was mostly on Garrett and his staff. Last year the offense was clicking until injuries.
So they should be top 5 SB caliber. Defense, we will have to wait and see. I am expecting struggles at first, and then hope the pull it together.

 

[JayFord]

if this team can stay healthy and the coaches make smart choices they can win a superbowl

They drafted well defensively which is something Dallas has failed to do in order to help their defense.

"The defense finished with more interceptions, more sacks and more tackles for loss than they did in 2019. They went from ranking 15th in 2019 in total defense to finishing sixth in 2020. This was after Defensive Coordinator Todd Bowles inherited a unit ranked 27th, mind you."

I recall many on here, including myself wanted to get Todd Bowles as the DC here.

Hating trolls on one side, overzealous homers on the other.

Agreed and unfortunately while he is a great DC, Dallas simply has failed to put the proper resources on the defensive side of the ball which would have aided this team's success.

 

[McKDaddy]

Possible .... but it will require some very young players to really play well and coaching to be spot on. Plus a few lucky breaks.

 

[USArmyVet]

"Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said he expects Amari Cooper (ankle) to begin practicing after the team's August 13 preseason game.
Cooper's practice timeline could shift in the coming days and weeks, but it appears the Cowboys will be cautious in bringing back their stud receiver as he recovers from an ankle cleanup procedure he had in June."
