Some people don't structure goals that way. You're assuming everyone has layered goals in that sense.

Honestly, if we're not going for everything, I'd just as soon get the best pick available in the next draft - #1...
32 teams or maybe 28 go for everything each year but only 1 gets it.
Dallas will go for it all but that doesnt mean they will get it .
And at what point should they give up and go for high draft pick?? after 2 ,3,4,losses ?

After an 0-5 start, I'm thinking you probably start tanking... No team has ever recovered from that.

For me it is getting past the div round and to the champ game, and at least looking good losing that.
That would be progress.
no playoffs, playoffs, and a exit before or in div round is not good enough.

The offense is loaded, new coaches, better looking defense, new ST coach, and last but not least
the great dak prescott !

Finishing with a record of 12-4 would be preferable, to help with home field in playoffs.

Even if dalton starts game 1, I still expect the same things.
like every yr, a superbowl win. or the seasons a failure

well I can go along with that if it is that bad, or even 2-7 etc.
But no way the cowboys will be that bad this year.

I disagree, winning a conf championship is something for any team to be proud of.
The SB is just a over-hyped media event and a bonus game. Better to win than lose though once you get there.
Getting to the nfccg is also good, if the team plays good and loses a close game.
If they get beat soundly, then not so good.

At this point, it won't take much for me.

I'll be happy if DiNucci, Ron'Dell, and Aaron Parker have strong showings in the preseason.

That's what I thought in 2010. We had just come off of an 11-5 season and a playoff win, and drafted Dez. Many called the Cowboys Super Bowl contenders.

Instead, Dallas started the season 1-7.

You never know...

That was mainly due to romo getting hurt in I think game 2? That is why some players quit on wade, they knew without tony
the season was lost.

Minimum? Win the NFC East. The only real threat should be Philly.

This has turned out to be a bad off season to implement a new coaching staff. I don't think we'll fully get our bang for the buck in year one as we would've otherwise. I also think the secondary is going to be a liability.

Even if dalton starts game 1, I still expect the same things.
First, that they have a season.
Second, that they play well in all three phases - O, D, and ST
Third, that they get to the playoffs and advance to at least the NFCCG.

Being competitive against the better teams on the schedule, and winning the majority of them.

Well the effect is negligible, because it is the same for all the other teams, and in the east div 3 teams have new HC and staff.
So they are in the same boat as us.
TC is very important this season, and so is preseason for teams with new coaches. I would play the vets more in this preseason
than I normally would. give them a whole half or at least a whole qtr in 2 of the games. And no one sits out.

No, I never saw that, but it looks intriguing. Canceled, huh? Bet it's on YouTube. I would think 7 million viewers would keep it going, but the almighty dollar reigns.
I like his characters in movies, for the most part.

it might be on youtube, it never came out on dvd, so only original tv broadcast that were taped are available. and they are sold on internet
since it is legal since it was never released on dvd.
He played the role very much like he was in kill bill, only he helped people that had been wronged in some way.

I see it is on IMDB and TV.com (CBS). Kill Bill I&II are still fave raves. I watch them every year. I heard there was a third one, but it didn't play well.

you talking about a kill bill 3? I dont think they ever did that. I read that uma T. is the one who came up with kill bill idea and story, then she asked
ding dong to direct it.

My minimum goal for the cowboys this season is to see Dak absolutely kill it so I can enjoy seeing the Dak haters squirm. If this happens, it's a huge win.
