It’s hard to gauge how any NFL season will go for any team. Usually the teams that were good the previous year tend to be good the following year, but key injuries can change a lot of things especially if you lose your QB. There seems to always be at least one team that’s way better than expected. With the added game and the prospects for an 18th game, the NFL season has become a marathon. Every team hits a few bumps at some point. Your chances always come down to how you’re playing in December and January. You want to hit your stride by the playoffs. The problem with the Cowboys is they tend to peak early then begin to level out and fade. Their best football last season was the first two weeks of the season. It’s caused the expectations to skyrocket for some fans. One fan got so excited he posted that he would be surprised if the Cowboys lost a game.
They ended up being dominated the next week by a bad AZ team. You can’t allow yourself to get carried away because of early success, but good luck convincing the chest pounders on this board. No matter how good we look early, I say it every season let’s see how we’re playing in December and January. Like every season we’re going to get the bold predictions every week by some fans that will proclaim that no way are we losing. They’ll boldly predict that we’re not going to just win, we’re go blow them out and you can book it!
Those are what I refer to as the kiss of death threads. They always come back to haunt the OP. I’m sure we’ll see a few platinum guarantees and quadruple plats from Gorico. He claimed last season he was done with them, but I’m not convinced. One impressive win will get his juices flowing again.
