I agree. I think we start 0-2. we are just not finely honed team. lots of variables. I wouldn't be surprised if we finish 8-9 (which then this forum will explode with Dak threads as if not already). and if everything goes perfect then we are 10-7. we hope the D makes up for it, but did we really improve on D? or we are hoping Parsons takes a big leap in second season. Fowler vs. Gregory....and do we think Ridgeway is the answer in the middle against the run. LVE Is back (ugh). yeah, I don't see the defense to be that much better.

I'm thinking they take a step forward as a whole. That D was in its infancy last year. I liked what I saw from Osa, Kearse, maybe Joseph steps up this year, and crossing fingers with Ridgeway. Don't forget the rookie DE. I just have a lot more faith in them than our offense.

This isn't to say I think our offense will suck. I like the players we drafted. It's just that no one really stands out. We have a ho hum offense.

Start slow? We're not going to be very competitive this season is my opinion. We'll be around 8-9 wins is my guess. I hope I'm wrong, but everything points to it. Without Cooper and Gallup for half the season, what does our offense have? Hope our D makes up for it?

We were the number 1 offense last year, but we were not the best offensive team. We played well against the Patriots, and if you include week1, the Bucs. But other than that our offense sucked against any team that wasn't absolute garbage. We're worse offensively this season.


"#1 Offense but garbage." Cool story bro.

We’ve gotten blatantly robbed in each of our last 2 openers, both on national TV.

Michael Gallup “OPI”, Chris Godwin “no OPI”.

Let’s see how the rules are bent to **** us for a 3rd straight year!
Dallas will get 14 flags for 275 yards vs Tampa's 2 flags for 15 yards, Roger Goodell will see to that. There will be at least 2 roughing the passer calls against Micah Parsons for looking too hard at Tom Brady. Another 6 pass interference calls on underthrown balls that hit the Cowboys defender in the back. The referees in the NFL are about as bent as they come.

Yup, and now is a chance at home to get back at them. The Cowboys supporters in the crowd are going to need to be loud, just as they get when the Eagles are in town.
Will be interesting to see how many Buccaneers (and Brady) fans obtain tickets and are present at AT&T Stadium.

Not interesting nor a new phenomena

this is another narrative that doesnt hold water iE ATT allows too many non fans into our stadium RE-selling tickets etc..

this is an NFL thing, i mean the old adage the Cowboys fans travel well ie places like cali and other area we have tons of fans in our opponents' stadiums..its about equal...

Just interesting for seeing the optics/percentage - just like that home opener against the 49ers back in 2014.

It is a conspiracy against us. The NFL wants our precious bodily fluids and verboten photos of Kim Darby owned by most Cowboys fans.

Dallas played one of its best games of the year in the 2021 opening week
Tampa....not so much. But they did somehow win the game.

The Bengals didn't win and they aren't the Cowboys.
I said it happens more time than not. Not every time.

They went from a poor team to playing in the SB….
Just look at something positive for once, as opposed to always being negative.
You may actually like the feeling. :D
