The shine has worn off this 6-1 start. We have all seen this story many times. Start hot and then fizzle out for many reasons. Be it extremely questionable officiating, injuries piling up, poor playcalling, questionable coaching, terrible play all over the field. At this point, the East is even up in the air. Dallas goes on the road for 3 straight and the Eagles have a cupcake finish to their season.

The excitement of this season has been washed down the drain. If this was a proven team who had players and coaches who could overcome adversity, I would be ok. For example, KC and Tampa. KC was 3-4 and looked dead in the water. But they have guys and coaches who know how to win when it matters. Tampa hit a little speedbump but the same as KC, they know how to overcome and win. We absolutely do not. Dallas is a front running team. They look great when it's peaches and cream and going great. Punch this team in the mouth and they fold up.

I really did buy in at 6-1. I thought this was going to be a different season. Something seemed different. We were winning games we usually lost. Defense finally forcing turnovers. We had that swagger and it was fun. And now, it's painful to watch. We know the end of this movie. I will keep watching because sports is just entertainment and I enjoy it but this team is going nowhere. One wild card win is their ceiling and a beatdown in the divisional round would come next if they even get that far.

Great Teams man up and overcome adversity whether it be injuries, bad calls, or just winning at home on Turkey Day. This franchise has proven they aren't great for 25+ years. I really believe it's a culture thing that emanates from the front office. The only fix is a removal of any Jones running the franchise

We suck where it matters most; at the very top and Jerry has been trying to prove we can mk a deep playoff run after the past 25 seasons without changing the fundamental way he manages the franchise.

You can’t win with a head coach that has no authority. You can’t win when you hire your friends and ex players with zero experience to hold key coaching positions. And you can’t win with a football idiot GM, the most important hire an owner can make.

Honestly I think we’ll be ok. I still think the division is ours to lose and tiebreakers still all work in our favor.

People need to understand that AFC games are the hardest to prepare for every season. Injuries and poor prep have destroyed our chances against AFC opponents. Even without the injuries, we played poorly vs the Chargers and were lucky to win that one.

The team has played far better vs NFC opponents this season and a 4-2 finish should be good enough to grab the 3 or 4 seed.

I predicted 9-8 before this season, so we're still ahead of schedule.

Unlike some folks, who seem to need validation from message board strangers, I'd love to see the Cowboys exceed my expectations.
They will by at least 2 wins maybe 4

I would trade Dak for Goff straight up. Give Goff a clean pocket and he can slice defense especially with our receiving core. Campbell is the worst coach I have ever seen and is literally hamstrunging Goff and destroying his confidence.

It’s a fair comparison to be honest. Goff is definitely more accurate.

I mean we were down 2 key pieces on offense and a key piece in Gregory on D.

Y’all just need to chill for a second. It’s a mid season slump.
