Those predictions are pretty close to what I was thinking. I'm gonna add that when this team hits these first 3 losses that some of these Dak lovers will have gone into hiding.

Team has way too much talent to post an 8-8 record, but it is a wacky off season.

Let me actually try.

He completely dismisses the 8-8 prediction as a pessimist's viewpoint. Then goes on to say it doesn't take a rocket scientist to predict we'd lose to good teams. Then asks how long it took him to come up with the 8-8 scenario.

He completely rejects the idea of starting out 0-3, but if we do it's all Dak's fault and he needs to be removed because just like last year, he can't beat good teams. And there's no one to blame. Not even Bill Maher.

I have much higher hopes for this team than 8-8. I think the talent in there to work with and I think McCarthy can get the most out of them. I don't expect him to be as conservative especially on the road or when facing top teams. I think Dallas tended to play not to lose when facing top ranked opponents and becoming overly conservative in their game plans. I think McCarthy along with Moore will open things up much more. Big concern for me is defense. Not exactly sure what to expect.

well when you post , dont proof read, hit reply, and run out of the office late for an appointment and get back and cant edit, **** happens.. Great Interpterion except the Bill Maher we had a kicker named Brett Maher or something close he was the blame at times no longer..

No more excuses left with new staff, especially starting out 0-3 just because its tough first 3 games. Tired of losing to better teams.. Might as well go 3-13 and go for T.Larwence! the 8-8 thing in no mans land of the draft would be a death sentence..

After looking at schedule and taking into account how rushed this whole thing is for a team with a brand new defensive system and way to communicate with the QB (McCarthy is the best QB coach there’s ever been here)

I just don’t see how the team is better than 8-8.

Week 1 - At Rams - they’ve lost a lot but they still have the boy wonder at HC and his schemes are not something I like a brand new defense having to face to open. LOSS

Week 2 - Falcons - Ryan and his trio of WRs return. There’s continuity at the OC spot and Ridley is poised to break out. Defensively they have to be better than last year - LOSS

Week 3 - At Seahawks - Russell Wilson and Pete Carroll. Did it on smoke and mirrors last year and should have some reinforcements this year - LOSS

Week 4 Browns - Also going through new system. Baker is a head case. Cowboys get first win of season - WIN

Week 5 - Giants - If it’s going to be a rough transition for Dallas, it will be that much tougher for Giants and Washington again - WIN

Week 6 - Cardinals - Not a believer in Kliff or Kyler. They’re doing a lot of retooling as well. - Another win comes here. WIN

Week 7 - At Washington - See the Giants - WIN

Week 8 - At Philadelphia - If this was after the bye I’d feel better about going into the Linc. As it is I’ll take Pederson and the DL - LOSS

Week 9 - Steelers - If Big Ben stays healthy they’ll be dangerous. Tomlin is a great coach to have for this season - LOSS

BYE - this will be where the staff can make better adjustments and team can start playing more to their talent level

Week 11 - At Vikings - Even without crowds there will still be Viking horn and a long travel trip after 2 weeks of not having to worry about COVID. Minn proved they were a different team going into NO last year and Zimm got the extension. I have Vikings in NFC Champ this year - LOSS

Week 12 - Washington - WIN

Week 13 - At Baltimore - I think it will be between Baltimore and Pitt to battle the Chiefs for the AFC Champ spot - LOSS

Week 14 - At Cinci - Team should start playing to their talent level. This will be a must win to have a chance at the playoffs. - WIN

Week 15 - SF - Shanahan has his offense rolling. They’ll be hitting on all cylinders this year and lucky that they get Dallas in a fluke year. In a normal year this may be a preview of the NFC Champ - LOSS

Week 16 - Philadelphia - Team avenges the earlier loss to Philly in an attempt to win out and get a wild card

Week 17 - At NYG - Giants have mailed it in by this point - WIN

Obviously we don’t know what injuries will happen or who will miss due to COVID. I think the team looks a lot better after the bye and in a normal year I’d have them beating Atlanta and either the Steelers or 49ers at home.

Now if they delay the season 3 weeks to allow for appropriate conditioning and practice it’s a whole new season. But this truncated rush job is not good for the team this year.

My feelings exactly. Offense is going to be a force so long as everyone stays healthy.

Dude I know. I've seen your posts before. That's why in my previous comment I said your house was on fire. I can tell it was written in a rush. The Maher part was just a joke. I completely forgot about that kicker.
