To answer the question I think they are competing with but will lose to the New York Jets. Those dullards won’t win more then one game this year.

Fortunately, the Jets will take Lawrence and we don’t need a QB so we will have the chance to draft the best defensive player available to begin to rebuild that pathetic unit. With that said, I still expect and hope for the players to do their best to win football games. Teams that tank build a culture of losing like the 76ers and the browns, and the cowboys really don’t need any help in that regard.

AFC
Jets 0-7
Bengals 1-5-1
Texans 1-6
Jaguars 1-6

NFC
Giants 1-6
Vikings 1-5
Falcons 1-6

So we have to compete with the Jets, Jaguars, Falcons, Giants, Vikings
I don't see the Jets winning more than one game and this will probably doom us. Man we can't even lose correctly.
Just imagine we luck into a Herbert, Burrow, Tua type . I would keep Nolan and keep the complicated scheme. Winning a game moving forward is a mistake. 2-14 should get us the 2nd pick and Lawrence will balk at going to the Jets so that is where Jerry swoops in and grabs him.

Falcons and Vikings are going to win some games. Im not worried about them. We need to get into one of the top 2 slots where the top 2 QB's are so people will want to trade up.

:facepalm:

The amount of fake fans rooting against this team is astounding.

Instead of pretending to be the "fan police", how about you let the OP root for the team anyway he wants to.

If he thinks losing and getting a higher draft pick will help the team more in the long run that doesn't make him a fake fan, just like when the majority of this board was rooting for losses last year so Garrett would get fired didnt make anybody less of a fan.

Tanking is something only loser fans wish for.

Pittsburgh Penguins did this on purpose to get Sydney Crosby and Malkin, look where that’s taken them today. Calculated losses aren’t a bad thing especially when the goal of a superbowl is less than 5% this year.
I’m going to take the under if the betting line is 5 percent. Lol.

We will win a couple of meaningless games which will screw us on draft position. Then some of you will rue the fact that we didn’t trade up for a player in the draft next year that we could have had without a trade up simply because we won those games. It happens every year. Lol.

What makes you think we can win a game?
Trade up?

Who are the Cowboys competing with? A herd of cattle to see who produces more poop on a field.

You're better than that c'mon man! You know darn well there isn't one man on this team that wants to lose a game let alone 9 more in a row!! No chance especially when Lee returns cause he will regain their focus. I really believe that. Every single player on this team right now is playing for their jobs and no one is giving up. Even though it looks like that on some plays...
One player on D - Lee - isn’t going to turn this clown car around.

again, you are missing my point, I have an issue with you rooting against the Cowboys and I would have the same issue with a Bengals fan doing the same thing. Fake fans root against their teams. End of discussion.
Wrong. Rooting for the Cowboys doesn’t make me a “fake” fan. It makes me a smart one.
