Wow this dude actually typed 6-11 lmao. Some posters are so out of touch but hey whatever floats your boat.
Is writing 6-11 taboo? Is the act of writing something suddenly the equivalent of wishing it into existence? :muttley:

Was the Cowboys comeback win on the road against the Vikes the highpoint of the season? Was Dak's winning TD pass in OT on the road against the Pats the highlight of his season? What this team put on tape with Dak against the Broncos was shameful. All of you homers out there think it was an anomaly and won't happen again but what if you're wrong? What if that is all the Cowboys are capable of for the rest of the season. If they are capable of doing that, they are capable of repeating it, game after game. This could be the greatest collapse in Cowboys history. 6-11 won't win the division. :(
That might be going a little over board predicting or suggesting 6-11 is a possibility. You probably should be struck down for such a thought.

Good teams and or individuals can put up a stinker. The key is how they respond . I think I’d wait and see the response in coming weeks before I’d suggest a nail in the coffin is possible. That might come off negatively or troll like. Just saying..

So many Cowboys fans feelings will hinge on this one game against ATL. :facepalm:

It's what is known as the Rubicon. A point when once crossed, you can not return to where you once were. We were contenders for the NFC playoff 1 seed. Lose to ATL and we will find ourselves scratching and clawing in free fall to even make the playoffs. :eek:
I dont

will feel the same even if we lose the atl game..not big deal until it is..

Panic time is when the playoffs #4 seed is actually threatened like the NFCE is on the line..plenty of time to recover from a few losses mid-seaosn...

.jeez louise..

went from SB faves and many ridiculous overratings of our team and players to all is lost overnight,,

chill out!!

relax

17 games 9 to go 6-2 let it go

What a dumb thread.
Exactly. We’re only half way through the season and have no idea how we’ll play in the next 9 games. We might play better than we have so far and we might not. This is a type of question that is impossible to answer at this point.

In no way am I predicting 6-11. It is one possible outcome however unlikely.

If that was peaking then this team is in trouble

Sunday needs to be a very clear bounce back game. Domination to get that momentum back. DLaw will be back after that (maybe) and out D can be average and that’s all we need.

Garrett teams used to peak in October. Not ready to make that call yet.

Come on, the sky is falling discussion is incredibly premature and overly dramatic.

You ask what if people are wrong about this past week being an anomaly. Well, the simple answer is we will find that out in due time, but for now it actually is an anomaly in the context of the season that has been played so far.

So why be in a rush to get stirred up over last week signaling a massive collapse? If that were to happen there will still be plenty of time to stew over it, but does anyone really believe anything like 6-11 might be in the cards after starting 6-2? Why would reasonable people even entertain that notion at this point?

But yet you felt strongly enough about this possible outcome to create a thread . Interesting …
Now you are assuming my operation of mind and intent. I was just throwing an idea out for discussion, with no strong feeling for that possible outcome. Funny how you always want to attack the poster rather than the post. ;)

I’m questioning your intent . Posting such a scenario could be interpreted as inciting a response . Which in turn is trolling Cowboy fans . Sometimes there’s a fine line but that’s how it came off to me.

Apparently he thought just throw it out there and see who took the bait. Lol

No intent he says . Just a serious discussion about us going 6-11. Right ..

Again we have seen this before with the SB winning teams we had...they would lose odd games and look flat in a game or two midseason...then refocus and go on a run for the playoffs...that game had all the signs of a team reading their own hype...drop balls bad penalties loose tackling missed OL assignments even the gameplans looked wierd.....RELAX...they will fix it lets just hope they dont need more than one kick in the nuts to wake back up.

I don’t think they lay another egg like this again till the end of season if we secure a playoff spot before that game. If we lose this next game there will be panic in the organization. This next game is against a team coming back. This Sunday I thought we win this easy. So did they.

We have been punched in the face. How we respond will dictate the rest of the year. We have the talent and aren’t totally healthy yet. If I am MM I try not to break anyone but I want intensity out there. And I want a actual game plan.
