No playoffs for the Cowboys again?

[SDCowboy]

Who cares if we make the playoffs? Is this how low the standard is now for this team?

 

[kskboys]

and you'll have us in last place....regardless of anything they do or don't do.
you ain't foolin' anybody.
it takes no guts to be a critic.
its cowardly.
square your shoulders like a man.

It's the polar opposite. It takes no guts to be a homer.

 

[Rockport]

We have had consecutive non playoff seasons 3 times this Century.
2019-2020
2010-2013
2000-2002

Many fans feel last years absence was due all to injuries, especially Prescotts. But we had a losing record with him and didn’t look like on a playoff projectory regardless.

We didn’t really address most of our weaknesses in FA. And it’s unlikely the draft will strengthen up all those holes significantly.

Meanwhile Phil and Wash look poised to finish 1-2 in the division leaving us battling for 3rd with a slew of NFC teams primarily in North and West division in a better position to battle for Wild Card slots.

I’d argue winning 8 or 9 games this year would be an improvement over last year. And that’s assuming we can stay healthier than last year. That will be enough to keep us in the playoff hunt but come up short.

Anyone predicting anything right now before the draft, OTA’s, mini-camps and training camp is just wasting their time. The 54 hasn’t even began to be established yet for crying out loud. All that doesn’t even touch on the fact of an entire new coaching staff. I know most here enjoy being always negative but my Lord.

I hope to go 50-50 or very less...we need high draft picks to reset..and for 2026....I hope we get the #1 pick...to get Arch....I can wish cant I?

Before the injuries - the team wasn't good.

Plain and simple.
But for whatever reason he is faking a basic understanding of this. Or maybe not faking but then that truly makes it weird.

 

[Brax]

They went into the season with injuries. Period, so you give it up.

Actually they were pretty healthy all full participation Friday week 1 only one nobody DNP . 3-5, sad part is they did better with back ups at many spots

anyone expecting this team to do a lot more next season at this time is an idiot.
Now maybe we have a great draft and get lucky on some UDFA\s but this team as it is right now is not a serious playoff team

 

[BoyzBlaster]

The next 3-4 years where we play out the sad travesty that is Dak's mega contract as he gets worse and worse are going to be a BOHICA era so the sooner you accept that the easier it will be for you. We are just marking time until we give the next legit QB prospect a shot

Washington won 5 games they should had lost ! Mark this down Washington will not make the playoffs!

 

[BoyzBlaster]

Playoffs are a pipe dream for this team to anyone paying attention and based in reality.
The bigger question is :
What if we do sneak in as the last wildcard and get booted the first playoff game?
Is that what its all about for you as a fan?
I want a team that has a legit shot at the SB.
We have been nowhere near being that kind of team for years.
With Jerry in charge this team has had little playoff success this century and it's
very discouraging for me, as it must be for most fans.
I am not happy just being relevant.

Amen.

 

[chuck520]

The Cowboys will finish 3rd or 4th in the division. I’m leaning more towards 4th because I believe we have the worst QB in the division now that the Giants improved the position.

Brian Shottenheimer is also the HC.

Typical Cowboys fan put their team down before the season even starts

Theres been so many seasons where you guys say that and they end up in the playoffs

I remember in 2014 when you guys said they had no chance because Romo then he made the playoffs, 12-4 record, I remember the early 90's before they turned the corner they said they were going nowhere and they won the Super Bowl

I've been a fan for 40 years and have heard the same thing ad nauseum every year

 

[Havic]

Its gonna depend heavily on the 3 most recent draft classes on how the season is going to go.

Not sure who you’re talking about but I never said any of that.

 

[GMO415]

DAL is not making the playoffs. They won't even have a winning season.

It's the polar opposite. It takes no guts to be a homer.

we're on a message board devoted exclusively to the cowboys.
we're all homers.
it takes no guts to be a critic.
none.

Shallow take.

Shallow take.

sunlight is the best disenfectant.

Shallow take.

It’s always a poor argument when all you have is attempt to discredit messenger instead of taking on their message .

 

[Diehardblues]

sunlight is the best disenfectant.

I welcome arguments the Cowboys will make the playoffs. I haven’t heard any yet.

Simply shooting down the messenger because you don’t like the message isn’t providing a substantial argument.
