2017 Dallas Cowboys: Time to lower the expectations
https://thelandryhat.com/2017/10/10/2017-dallas-cowboys-expectations/



After back-to-back crushing home losses, it’s time to re-evaluate the expectations for the 2017 Dallas Cowboys as they head into the bye week.
Here’s the hard truth. After five weeks, the 2017 Dallas Cowboys are not a good football team. Spare me the talk of “they should be 4-1.”

No need to remind me that we are only five games into the season. Facts are facts. The choice to believe them is up to you.

Good teams beat other good teams. The Cowboys are 2-0 with wins over Arizona (2-3) and the Giants (0-5). They are 0-3 with losses at Denver (3-1) and at home versus the Rams (3-2) and Packers (4-1). The math speaks for itself. Good teams do not score 30+ points in back-to-back games and lose. In fact, there has been only one other team in NFL history to pull off that feat. The 2012 Detroit Lions. They finished with a record of 4-12...

Clamor was that it was time to just shut up and prove it, at this point in this season, I have to agree.

i think its more than that. This is a time we all know wont happen. Jerry wont take a back seat, Stephen wont fight hard, and every road goes through JJ. Anything done underneath them is for naught because it wont change the philosphy of the organization and at this point that is to take a flame thrower to it. Change has to be aired out across the boards.

My question is. "is the SB the goal for the Dallas Cowboys"?

My answer, no, and its time for fans to accept it. 20 plus years of not changing a thing proves to people its not your goal. Filling that stadium and enjoying your money is.

I for one refuse to lower my expectations.

I thought this was a NFC Championship game / Superbowl contender coming into the season and I I find it difficult to accept anything less than that.... :(

Nothing wrong with hoping...I even used prayer in deployment.
