Bottom Line: We continue to play like this, we're looking at 6-10.

dude its old now seriously if you cant even give credit for winning the game to your 'favorite' team you need to go root for the Commanders

He's being sarcastic. He's mocking the doom and gloom crowd.

No disrespect to the OP but this thread is really dumb. I feel you and I see where you're going but the NFL's landscape changes every week. Teams develop and get stronger some get weaker. Injuries etc... let's not play the this is a win this isn't game. It's just dumb!

This post FTW.

Is seattle suddenly a power house? I don't recall that.

We will finish with a winning record, we will goto the playoffs. Maybe we go with Austin and RW11 and Felix come back and add a huge spark. Maybe Romo feels an overtime win (when nothing but what you do NOW matters) is a big game.

If you can't enjoy a win, you are wasting your sundays. A win is a win.

well we will finish with a marginal winning record which will once again cost us a good draft pick. That's the problem with the Cowboys their record is good but not good enough. About the only thing it does to us is give us crappy 1st round draft picks every year.

Tony, I'm baffled by your post quite honestly.

We're a sloppy team that has a winning (3-2) record by battling to the very end against every opponent -- be it a winless team or an unbeaten (we even held very, very late leads against two unbeatens). We don't always finish, but we don't always fail. But so far we've finished more than we've failed.

How, exactly, does this equate to a 3-8 finish? If we're 3-2 using this formula, I'd say our realistic window is somewhere in the 7-9 to 9-7 range. One tip of the scale below or above .500.

That can, of course, rapidly change given significant improvement or regression.

I have always said this about the NFL nowadays. You can't judge a team from one week to the next anymore and you can't judge that we went into OT against a winless team and base that on how we will play for the rest of the season. I still believe we will be 8-3 or 7-4 going into that Giants game on Dec. 6 I believe.

ok then i apologize

There is no way this team wins 6 games this year.

After todays loss to the Chiefs we proved we have no heart.

No offense, but someone has to be a real simpleton if they look at today's game and conclude the Dallas Cowboys lack heart.

We might lack brains, precision, execution, mental toughness ... but heart? On the day we execute a nice comeback?

A team with no heart pulls a Flozell and packs it in on multiple occasions today.

 

[RainMan]

ok then i apologize

As do I.

 

[BigR]

i wish i could be as optimistic as some of you guys or constantly wear my blue colored glasses.

this team is 8-8 AT BEST if they continue to play like they have during the first month of the season.

barely beat a terrible chiefs team today
barely beat a terrible panthers team
beat a terrible tampa team

those teams have combined for a whopping 1 win

the talent is there, no doubt. as long as wade and jg are around...this team will not make the playoffs

 

[Cowboys79]

Playing the way we have for the past 3-4 games, this is how our schedule will play out. Something has to change that will allow us to: 1) commit fewer penalties, 2) cause more turnovers 3) execute better on offense.

Atlanta - Loss
Seattle - Loss
Philadelphia - Loss
Green Bay - Loss
Washington -Win
Oakland -Win
New York Giants - Loss
San Diego - Loss
New Orleans - Loss
Washington - Win
Philadelphia - Loss

Anyone who thinks we're looking at 9-7, I'd like to know where they see the additional 3 wins coming from. Don't take Seattle and Green Bay lightly.

I can see some additional wins with Felix back and healthy, but can't really count on him staying that way for long. I think he's our only hope at this point.

Call me crazy but I have a very good feeling this team is going to play some very good football after this bye week! I really do!

We're already playing as bad as it's going to get and there is only up from here. As you can see Austin might be emerging and if romo continues to play like HE did Today and the team cuts down the penalties I stick with my prediction of 10-6.

 

[Don Corleone]

If they will eliminate Flozell Adams that in itself would fix alot of things that impair this team.

Craig

Fixed it for you.

 

[Sarge]

I can honestly say that this win was enjoyable for about 30 seconds, the time it took for the Austin play to die down. I watched the game with my kids, which is never a waste of a Sunday.

The handwriting is on the wall here. I hope I'm dead wrong, but I don't see this team making the playoffs, but I love your optimism. Maybe if Felix can come back after the bye and stay healthy.

I don't think you're dead wrong. This team plays unbelievably sloppy and undisciplined football. Part coaching and part overrated players. I'll take one week at a time however and hope for the best.

Adjusted to 8-8... We'll beat those other two helter skelter teams in red.

I said 8-8/9-7 in the offseason and I am sticking to it. We'll have yet another mediocre season and miss the playoffs. It may surprise some but won't surprise me at all. I'm looking forward to the coaching change(s) that will follow........

A sign of a poorly coached team is all the penalties. Very undisciplined. Unfortunately the team takes on the personality of their underacheivng coach. The "sta-puft marshmallow man" must go before things will get better. It just shocks me that Jerry doesn't see this.

This is has been a mantra for years. Not gonna happen - take that to the bank.
