just because we're better on paper doesn't mean we will actually execute and beat the other man. These 3 games have been a prime example of that.

Correct. But if you're better than 10 or 11 of the 13 teams you still have left to play, there's more than 6 wins out there.

Rough start to the season but I expect Dallas to finish a hair above .500 this year. 9-7 or so

I just can't see us winning 10 games with the way our secondary plays, even games we think are winnable are not anymore just because they can't cover anybody...Nothing is safe when the opposing team puts that ball in the air...Our offense is really good but our defense is absolutely horrible! I still love the Cowboys till the end and I don't give a damn what the record is but they need a dog at safety and another corner to help out Diggs.

I think we sweep the giants so that’s two. Maybe we split the Eagles and skins (that DL will destroy our OL). So that’s two more. Bengals and Browns? It’s sad but I don’t call either of those spam dunks. I could see Burrow easily throwing 400 on us. So let’s say another split. That’s about it. Six wins

I think we'll sweep the Eagles. They're awful. I think we can beat the Bengals. I'll go on record and say 8-9 more.

How do you look at the first 3 weeks and think there's only 6 wins left on the schedule? They're better than every team on the schedule, except probably Baltimore.

I think we may be able to surprise Baltimore, but that'll probably be a loss. The rest of the way, I think we'll beat most of the teams we play. Should sweep Philly and the Giants. I think we may split with Washington, but, if Haskins keeps playing the way he has lately, I think we can sweep them too. We should beat the Browns and Bengals. The Cards will be tough, but the Lions beat them in a way that I think we can beat them. I think the Steelers will be a tough game, so that may be a loss. The 49ers are banged up, so I think we'll win that one. I think we can beat the Vikings as well. So, that actually would be 10 that I can see. So, I think 11-5 is still reasonable, but I'll call us 9-7 in case we split the Washington games and lose to the Cards.

7-9 just as i predicted before the season. honestly we should just tank since we clearly need to re-load on defense.

The problem with that is that the Giants and Eagles are well on their way to tanking. Trying to out tank them would be like the baseball episode of South Park.

As discombobulated as Dallas has looked the first 3 games, after watching portions of the other 3 squads in the division, there is NO WAY anyone can convince me those teams are anywhere near as good as the 'Boys. I think the only team the may struggle with is Philly. But, even that is a reach to me at this point.

With how Wince is playing, I think we should be able to blow them out.

Thats true. Unfortunately at 7-9 we could be in contention to win this division.

I don't think we go that low tbh. I think 9-7 is about right for this team atm.

I could see us sweeping the NFC East. I expect we’ll beat the Bengals and either the Browns or the Vikings but not both.

Probably looking at another 8-8 season, which will be good enough to win the division and allow us the privilege of being someone’s punching bag in the wildcard round.

I think they may even choke in a couple more games they are supposed to win. But with the Least being so terrible, this is a very realistic and probable guess. 6 to 8 wins for me.

Go Cowboys

RamziD · Sep 28, 2020

I’ll go on the record as 9 more wins. 10-6 and a wildcard spot. Although 9-7 or 8-8 will get us there, too.

Darkhound · Sep 28, 2020

Also.. this "see saw effect" is what kept Garret for so so slong. We will PROBABLY defeast the Browns and then all will be good... then we loose again. chaos.. repeat and rinse

jsb357 · Sep 28, 2020

if the trends of the first three weeks continue

6 more wins

some changes in play calling, correcting mistakes( players and coaches), getting guys back...

maybe two more

setting Dallas up for another one and done

Mk2_Cowboys · Sep 28, 2020

4 possibly 5 , this is a 6-10 team if everything breaks their way . Terrible team .

jterrell · Sep 28, 2020

Dallas will be favored in at least 5 of the 6 NFCE East games.
They are favored over the Browns by 5.5 right now.
The Bengals are worse than the Browns.

The Dallas Cowboys have the easiest schedule remaining versus NFL FPI.
https://www.espn.com/nfl/fpi

They have EIGHT games left versus teams rated below the 0-3 Falcons.

Only TWO games left versus teams rated higher than them.

At this point 10-6 is a conservative estimate. A lot of times it is better to be lucky than good and this schedule is a cake walk by NFL standards.
SEA and LAR are among the leagues best teams and DAL played both on the road.
Only one remaining opponent, BALT, is that good.

Sweeping Giants is no lock.

Daniel Jones is better QB of the two.

at 1-2... we are 8-8 team

CooterBrown · Sep 28, 2020

This is a good team, playing like a terrible team. I don't know if that is the coaching, or just adjusting to new coaches and new schemes. But terrible teams don't average almost 30 points per game. Terrible defenses give up 33 points per game. So, if you want to say this is a terrible defense, I'll agree with you.

How many wins left?
