This was written before Zeke officially lost his appeal. Hello something other than 8-8.

Doubt we make 8-8 now that it looks like Zeke will be out 6 games.

Wishful thinking

I just hope that this doesn't give the team another excuse for a lazy off-season. Don't know if I can take a bunch of "these guys all have a year under their belt" posts as justification of sitting on our hands.

 

[Dwight]

6-10.

Maybe 4-12 due to Zeke being gone for six games.

I hope Jason is gone and Jerry hands the keys to his son.

 

[Jake]

I thought we were heading for 8-8 anyway, after Sunday.

Well Garrett now for sure gets another year. Another excuse

I'll take the over.

Even if Zeke is suspended.

 

[DCowboyz]

I think we're worse than 8-8.

 

[Wood]

I think we're worse than 8-8.

we better hope that the case because this team needs easier schedule and higher draft picks. Still want to see DB develop & improve and by end of year feel confident about Collins at RT.

6-7 wins. Too many good QBs on the schedule and this defense is horrible

 

[PA Cowboy Fan]

6 wins total if Zeke's suspension is upheld.

 

[CowboyStar88]

This is a 6-7 win team right now period

 

[TRUTH87]

6-10.

Maybe 4-12 due to Zeke being gone for six games.

I hope Jason is gone and Jerry hands the keys to his son.

in jerry’s eyes garrett will have an excuse. he lost his star rb. which is utter BS! us fans know the run game hasn’t been amazing, but should be okay with morris/dmac.

our coach doesn’t know how to adjust to squat. this is the time dallas will typically crumble down at first glance of adversity.

Strange..I was thinking this earlier today (before the news about Elliott). Even after the GB loss, I still felt that 8-8 was definitely achievable if not potentially for 9-7. But these past few days, I just can't convince myself that this defense will do it's part to preserve any lead we have. It's simply 2013 levels of bad.

We had an excuse in 2013. We switched back to 4-3, were devoid of talent and had a crap DC. This year, we have better talent than 2013 so there's no excuse for this other than...
#Notmymilktoastdefense!

If Blogging the Boys is publishing things like this, you know things are very bleak.

A bunch of crying babies. “Oh no we’re not 5-0 we’re going to lose all of our a games now.” Good lord. No wonder the world outside of Cowboys nation hate us. Like we have a reason to be so spoiled and turn our nose up to a 2-3 start which in 2 of those games we scored 30 points with wait for it....a struggling Zeke! Who do you think we are? The Patriots? Nope. Haven’t done squat in decades and you’re all over here calling it over after 5 games. Hey. I’m not even saying we’re not going to be 8-8 or worse but how you all can tell after all the crazy stuff I know all of you have seen go down in an NFL season baffles me.
But hey. Live and let live, right?

 

[Jake]

I thought 9-7 before the season, for several reasons (one of which included inexperience on defense). At 2-3, I definitely see that as the ceiling this year.

Could it be worse? Sure.

Nightmare of a season so far

Because its the Cowboys and Jerry Jones, They blew it this off-season, but this good season, next season will aways suck, its what this horrible franchise does
