5-11, with wins coming within the division. We’ll probably lose one against either Philly or Washington.


We won’t win any games outside the division this year. We just aren’t good enough. We make way too many mistakes in all phases of the game, refs seem flag happy against us lately, and playcalling is atrocious. Don’t get me started on the defense.

Actual good teams;
Seattle
Packers
Bills
Chiefs
Ravens
Pats
49ers

Good/Need to see more:
Saints
Rams
Cards
Titans
Raiders
Bucs

The rest: all the other teams (including Dallas). We just aren’t up to the level of those teams yet. Even if we win this garbage fire of a division, we will Likely be knocked out in the wildcard.
We won’t beat the Browns, Cardinals, Vikings and Bengals? Come on man. We lost to the best team in the NFC on the last possession on the road after gifting them 14 points.

total overreaction. The cowboys have two close losses to two very though teams. This division is atrocious, and should be expected to go 4-0 against washington/NY. Hell I would be disappointed if we are not 6-0 within the division this year. As bad as you think the cowboys have been there have been some teams 10x worse.

Agreed, and we should sweep Philly. They couldn't even beat the Bengals.

I said they're a 9-7 type team with Tyron and Lael.

Depending on how long those two are out, it could be 7-9 or 8-8.

Don't brag if we win the division at 7-9 or 8-8. The schedule is easy, we play SIX games against 3 weak division foes..
Seven and Nine we're right on time.
Eight and Eight, isn't mediocrity just great.

And what exactly makes you think they will be better than 8-8?

You are what you are.

Are you not?

And we don’t really know what they are yet do we?
But typical for this place. And I would bet many of you want to be less than 8-8 to say you are right. Then harp on it for the next 8 months.

And what makes you think we won’t gift the following teams with 14 points? I think we’ll probably beat the Bengals. But the Vikings can score points, and our defense is heavily anemic. Kyler Murray is like Wilson, but faster, but with a less accurate arm. And Browns have a strong front 7 and a good run game, which attacks all our weaknesses.

what teams do you think we’ll win against? We got 2 losses in the books, which means we can only afford 3 more losses against the following teams:

Cardinals
Vikings
Eagles (Twice)
Giants (Twice)
Washington (Twice)
Steelers
49ers
Ravens (haha)
Bengals
Browns

Ravens is a definite loss, I already got it down, but I’m interested in your take.
We will go 6-0 in the division. Beat the Browns, Cardinals,Vikings, and 49ers.

So you actually got us going to 12-4? Well I’ll be darned. If you think this team is that good, be my guest. But I’ve rode this ride too many times before. It’s all smoke and mirrors right now. The offense has to make NO mistakes, which is asking a lot. Defense will have to step up, and we don’t have the players for that.

I see the product on the field.

I don’t care about off season.

At all.

I care about the regular season. And getting to the playoffs. And hoping more than anything getting to an NFC championship game.

Browns secondary is pathetic. Their quarterback is average. Good running game and solid defensive line. Kyler is good but their defense is bad. We play both in Dallas were Dak just plays out of his mind.

This outfit should be sitting at 0-3 right now.

This defense is so bad I can see them splitting all their division games. And that might be wishful thinking. If you look at the games outside of the NFC East...who exactly can they beat?

Seriously.

Could be looking at 6-10

Or worse?


Agree.

I thought we’d start 1-4.

on track.

This is a 1-2 team right now with a horrible defense. Unless it gets drastic improvement very fast, I wouldn’t be predicting many wins. Even the worst teams play up against Dallas and can torch us deep.

They aren't the most valuable franchise in sports either. You would think that would allow for hiring some brain power to manage this team...

The only game I think we can’t win is the Ravens because it’s on the road and their secondary will give us problems. We can’t stop their college offense.

Browns at Cowboys = WIN
Giants at Cowboys = WIN
Arizona at Cowboys = Loss

Ah hell I dont wanna keep going

Play the schedule out, we go

10-6

We will win a weak NFC East. Come playoff time we will probably be dumped quickly. Hopefully we can get this defense figured out. We've got some nice Dlinemen, but are lacking on the backend. I thought our secondary would be better but they aren't. Hopefully when we get a couple DBS back the passrush will be balling and it will come back together. Hopefully LVE can contribute. Then maybe we can make some noise. Its looking like MM needs an off season to get a defense together.
Yeah ok.

They need to step it up to make sure that isnt a 1-2 stretch.

Its 2-1 at best.

They will struggle against Clevelands DL and running game, and I'm not entirely sure how they beat Murray at all.

Of course they beat up on the division. Only reason this team has had any success at all of late.

9-7. The schedule gets easier so they’ll turn it around here soon and get into a groove

Until proven otherwise,8-8 is the new standard for this team... unfortunately they have let me down to many times to give them any benefit of doubt.
