They had a good draft and are getting there.

Like their OC is probably preaching....ita a process, and all they need are 11 All Pros, then will be able to run all three plays effectively....with hard work and looking at the tape of course.

When that doesnt work....they will need to execute better.

They have NO idea what they signed up for. Neither does that poor HC.

You mean that ending game where the Cowboys won 47-16? Ya Prescott really looked shocked and snake bit in that one. Last time I checked McCarthy will make the call IF, that huge word, IF Prescott gets benched not fans here.

No one knows anything, he’ll we don’t even know if we will see 16 games .... the certainty that this team is going to be one way or the other is ridiculous.

McCarthy may make 1, or 2, games difference. I say 9-7, 10-6 if they're lucky.

Every team pretty much beats someone they shouldn't, and also loses to someone they shouldn't. I'm not counting any game a win or a loss until the final score is shown. Guaranteed, if Dallas comes out hot and blows their first 2 opponents out, 12 wins will be the newly discussed minimum. If Dallas loses those 2 games, then 6 wins will be the max.

Predicting the ceiling for our opponents and the floor for ourselves. . . . I'll pass on being a defeatist myself.

Parity still rules the NFL. Now that Brady is gone all teams are up and down even the one you are championing.

I got a bad feeling that Demarcus Lawrence is going to sit out.

He can sit out and leave his paycheck with the Cowboys. Sign me up for that right now.

It’s ridiculous. People are going to work everyday at Walmart and aren’t scared. These are professional athletes with amazing genetics and the best healthcare around. They will all be fine.

Negatives:
- Lamb will not be as good as Cobb this season
- The center will not be as good as Frederick
- The RE will not be as good as Quinn
- The CB spot is going to miss Byron
- Coaching will be worse before the bye as the staff learns the players
- Schedule seems tougher

For the positives:
- The kicker will be better
- Haha is better than Heath
- DLaw should be as healthy as he can be
- Coaching should be better after the bye as the staff is able to evaluate the players
- Theoretically we can only get more from LVEs spot than last year

ceedee will be better than Cobb, Zeke has a chip, safety play will be upgraded, DT’s are upgraded, special teams should be vastly improved, coaching improved, drops should return to the median

Anytime you're starting a new system there will be kinks to work out.

I also expect most teams will be rusty for the first three weeks.

8-8 is possible.

I'll be shocked if there's a season at all.

If there is: Cowboys will 10 or more games and win the NFC East.

No way are we 8-8. We’ll beat the Rams and definitely the Falcons, even a split would put us at 9 wins. I don’t think we’ll lose all of the games (Sea, MN, Pitt, MN). If we split those that puts at 11 wins minimum. I wouldn’t be surprised to see 13-3 but mainly due to our offense, not defense. I think we’ll win in an offensive shoot out with some of those teams.

With Hightower opting out, I just hope it doesn’t become a trend (not that I blame them). I don’t want any tainted wins or championships.

Anyone that thinks we are primed for a bad season is either a Garrett apologist or a Dak hater.

This seems like a pretty realistic look at the season. Hopefully, we get some breaks our way and things go better than this.

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.
