I like your picks, but I think one of those losses will go the other way, which is how I got to 11-6.

 

[Beast_from_East]

So far, 11-6 is in the lead with 25% of the vote and 10-7 is in a close second place with 23% of the vote.

So, about 50% of the fan base thinks the Boys are a 10 or 11 win team.

I agree, I voted 10-7 myself.............that is probably good enough for at least a wildcard.

 

[blueblood70]

11-6
I said 13-4 in one thread though.

Mostly I think 12-5, but told some friends 10-7 before TC started.
I said 11-6 in other threads. So will stay with that.

Win the NFCE. Win at least one playoff game. 2 if both games are at home.
After that. I will not predict.

Do we all get to change our predictions given the fact that Tyler Smith's out a month the first month of the season I wonder how much that's gonna change things?

I know bass is pretty good and I know they brought in a Hennessy guys already hurt but I'm still been saying this since it happened I don't understand why didn't they keep Hoffman here In my opinion the games that some of the inside guys missed over the last few years went relatively unnoticed because of Hoffman and I know it's a little bit of bass but now curious why it wasn't even that much II don't remember what he got as a contract but it was under $2 million So now he's playing for Big Mike in Pittsburgh and not here where I'm comfortable going into game one through Game 4 now without Tyler Smith..

9-8

The upcoming schedule is no joke.

Many teams the Cowboys face have a good/great defense. Teams such as those can neutralize a solid offense.

 

[kskboys]

Only way we win fewer than 10 is if Dak goes down and Howell sucks.

Still cannot comprehend how anyone thinks we're only 1-2 games better after the massive additions. Are they underrating who we picked up?

The current injury to Smith may sting a little.

Predictions are fluid. Can change as other things change.

 

[nate dizzle]

I'll buy into the hype a little bit and say they've improved over last year. I'll put them at 9-8.

Right here's a good example How unfair is it for us to play without Taylor Smith The Giants have an easier time correct But guess who's not traveling with the Rams to play the 49ERS that be one Aaron Donald so when Aaron Donald gets back on the field now the the other teams have to face him That's the kind of look that along the way can help a team go from maybe a one and done in the playoffs to getting home fueled and maybe going further..

Sometimes it is about timing and luck and we need a little bit of that and so far, This is second year in a row last year one week before the game one guess what parsons is gone we have no one to really take his place We went the whole year with a bad defense but here we are one week before we start game one we're missing Tyler Smith those are 2 key pieces Yeah I mean I know it i'm not saying we're doomed i'm saying some teams get lucky and others don't..

Now that DAL lost Tyler for 4-6 weeks, my W drop.

 

[JohnnyFlame]

I went with 10-7 and based it on nothing but vibes. New DC vibes, maybe rookie of the year vibes. So many new guys on D can they possibly suck as bad as last year vibes. Thing about vibes is they are there now ya know before an actual game has been played. Take a few good games to change from vibes to belief.

 

[plymkr]

I’m going 11-6. I feel our offense will be potent as usual and I feel our defense will end the year in the top 10.

I feel 3 of our losses will come in the first 6 games. Green Bay, Philly and Ravens. Then our defense will gel and we’ll be a scary team going into the playoffs.

 

[Whyjerry]

9-8. Schedule is tough and I have zero faith in Shottenheimer. I view him like Garrett as a minus 2 coach. Meaning he will lose 2 more games than he should every season.

Hope I am wrong.

The first 6 games are rough. People seem to think Dallas will run those teams over. Me? I see trouble to start the season.

 

[Bullflop]

I chose 10-7 with the idea that this team has enough new players and coaches to limit their winning enough for it to be more. I say this hopefully, despite the fact that that schedule is extremely difficult. Improvement might be sufficient in the belief that these new players and coaches are more capable. That may be a tough battle that lies ahead, but hopefully an improved performance can be attained.

If our defense is top ten, we are 13-4.

I have them going 10-7. I really hope the cowboys end their losing streak to the 49ers this year .Hopefully they will play the 49ers in the playoffs again but beat them this time

 

[kskboys]

If our defense is top ten, we are 13-4.

About where I have them. D would have to just not work to not win 10-13, and I don't see that happening.

Wow. You have us losing to Cards/Titans/Commanders. It's like you're looking for reasons for us to lose. Care to explain why you see those as losses? All should be easy wins.

The Cards are not the same Cards as last season, and we are not close to what we were last season.

And he’s got a road win against the Rams and 49ers.

He’s got 10 wins. That’s the over in Vegas and a pretty reasonable outcome.
