Realistic Expectations for this Team

TheRomoSexual said:

Expect whatever you expect. It’s absurd to roll back a win win expectation after a win like that. Period. It’s reactionary nonsense.

I'm just curious why the thread was deleted stating the Chargers got robbed with that huge call late. If that's not telling you something I don't know what else is. You can't say we got a break from the refs now?

Bold prediction: 11-5.

I like what I see on offense. Though Moore still has some huge brain farts.

I am not liking what I see on defense, though they do seem somewhat better. As to the players actually playing and reacting, and not thinking and being confused. however there are still way too many stupid plays and wide open receivers. I know they need to gel some yet. And were missing both starting DE's. But still too many mental errors.

Just dumb plays still, especially that penalty on the punt.

So I do not know what to expect yet. I did expect them to compete and should win the division. But now I need to see them a few more games.
Much will spend how they look and play the Eagles in the next game.

I have moved from a 9 win team, back to 8.

We're OK, but nothing special. This was a blind squirrel game.

nine wins topps. half of the wins this team gets need to be atleast winning four division games. we got an ugly win today. hopefully get four more wins outside the division. i do not see this team good enough to win ten or more unless teams give the cowboys a few breaks like the chargers did today.

I see a lot of threads and posts that just seem to have unrealistic expectations for this team. I think we all need to realize what we should be hoping for from this team this season.

We all know that the defense isn't very good. We all know that Dak isn't Patrick Mahomes. We all know that Zeke isn't as explosive as he once was. The offensive line is not the top-5 unit that it once was. Add whatever you want to this list.

All of this is true and I have some of the same frustrations, but we need to realize some things. Does Dak need to go 37-43 for 465 yards and 4 touchdowns every game to be good enough for us to not rip his performances apart? Does the defense have to suddenly become the '85 Bears for us to have a chance? Does Zeke need to be Emmitt Smith for us to appreciate when he does something good? I would answer these with a resounding no. We just played (and won) a hard fought game against a good Chargers team. We all should also know by now that right now this is not a championship roster and expecting a Superbowl this season is an unreasonable expectation to have. Despite all of this, myself and a lot of fans feel like if this team can find a way to win the division and make the playoffs on a hot streak, who knows what could happen? This season is going to have ups and downs because this roster IS deeply flawed and it shows, but we have enough talent to make some noise. This was an ugly win, but even the best teams have to win ugly in the NFL. It is a tough league filled with great teams. Style points don't count and I will take today's result over last week's any day. Now I would recommend everyone enjoy the win, because they have been few and far between for the last few years.
