8-7 isn't a pipedream

Not plausible. Not impossible of course. But this 2024 Cowboys team is not very good. Just because they’ve shown a pulse and beat an opponent who has clearly overachieved is not enough to convince me of anything more than the NFL is unpredictable.

Put it another way, could the giants win Thursday with Joey DeVito at QB? Sure they can. If we are being honest and not wearing fan glasses this Cowboys team is still not very good.
It’s going to be very interesting to say the least! This team has life and a win over Giants to improve to 5-7 would make things even more interesting. We’ll see!

Looking at the schedule, it’s quite possible that Dallas Cowboys could go on a run and end up 8-7. Maybe this is copium but at least hear me out. In the next four games, we are facing the 2-9 Giants, the 4-7 Bengals, the 3-8 Panthers and the 5-6 Buccaneers. None of these teams are unbeatable and crazier things have happened.

Win those four games and we can talk playoffs. Imagine that?
the delusion is strong with this one

I never knock any Cowboys fan’s joy after a win. My feeling remains that this is not a very good team who would benefit greatly by a better draft position than the small benefit of a late season win that in the end doesn’t make us better in the long run.

But that‘s just my opinion.

I can see three W’s coming in a row sets up 7-7 with Tampa Wash Philly with a possible playoff berth a WC of course on the line last three games . If MM pulls off 9-8 after losing 5 straight he may be in line for a raise .

It’s possible. We have the Giants. Washington could be in the middle of a collapse and we have them again. Carolina is beatable and Philly could be resting starters when we play them in week 17. Even the Bengals and Tampa have had their issues. That high draft pick may not end up so high after all.

By the time they play Philly the Eagles will have a week off bye and a home playoff game ready to rest Hurts Barkley Brown etc interesting . On the other hand they may want to go full crew if Dallas needs the W

I’m a fan I root for wins not draft pick speculation . I was thrilled they beat the Commanders Quinn and all those ex Cowboys that litter that roster .

What's really scary is that they actually can catch Washington and finish 2nd in the division.

I had hope you were finally learning from past mistakes. But it appears you are falling for the okie doke and drinking Jerrys snake oil yet again. :facepalm:

Honestly, this is not that crazy a take.

Cooper Rush is at least competent. And the defense has players back. Micah can take over a game. Rico is playing well. The only games on the rest of the schedule that looks impossible to win is the eagles on December 29.

Unlikely, but not impossible at all
