Who wouldn’t have taken 3-3 after Dak went down in Week1?

Yea, we are feeling pretty fortunate sitting at 3-1. I’d like to see all of the post who thought we’d win 3 in a row with Cooper .

Initially we thought it would be closer to the bye if not after the bye before he returned . Obviously we didn’t place him on IR because in case we begun stumbling we wanted the ability to bring him back early if the season needed life support and or in the event he recovered sooner.

Fortunately we’ve over achieved with Rush which affords the Cowboys the luxury of not rushing Prescott back too soon before he’s fully recovered.

But who wouldn’t have taken 3-3 even after sitting at 3-1. We should be in pretty good shape with Daks return to go 5-3 heading into the bye , 4-4 at the worse which is where I had us before season begun.

And with a more favorable second half of season schedule we can still muster 10 wins to get into the playoffs.

Yeah I agree, biggest challenge is that everyone has reset their expectations!

Of course . I’m not sure that’s being realistic though.

Instead I’d argue we should feel very fortunate for where we are. And will continue to be if we fall back to 3-3.

The Rams do not look good right now, and Dak will be back for the Philly game. 4-2/5-1 are still absolutely in play.

I am pleasantly surprised.
Rush has been a surprising revelation.

Of course . But 3-3 is still more than tolerable to live with. Especially from where we thought this could be .

Hugh gamble buy our GM in not addressing the possibility of losing our QB1 for any length of time. I'm not sure what we gained by not paying significant $$ for a backup though. Dante Fowler, Anthony Barr?? In the end it doesn't matter since it paid off.
3-3 would have been taken by everyone.
