Can we let go of our Super Bowl pretensions?

A team that performs like a bottom-rung team with a HC without vision or toughness should not have its fans speculating about the SB.
Let us worry about winning the NFC East from the Eagles, first. This Eagles are not talented as we, but they are tougher than the Cowboys.
Sitting at 2-2 gives no team a license for aiming higher than its division.
Burma shave.

Yup, think it's definitely time we adjusted expectations.

The bad news: It looks like some of this team's issues are more than cosmetic and are likely to plague us all season long unless addressed.

The good news: The Eagles beat two teams with a combined record of 0-8 by 5 total points and looked shaky while doing it the past two weeks. I don't believe either them or the Commanders are good enough to really pull away regardless. Should at least buy us time to figure some things out. Although, Jason Garrett has had 10 years to figure something, anything out and it hasn't happened.

Those are long gone. The minute we let all those free agents go told me we’re rebuilding. Tired of it but I have no control over it. You cannot win with bad secondary play and average DL talent in the playoffs. The best possible season is one and done in the playoffs. But 8-8 is more likely.

I've never had SB aspirations as long as Garrett was the coach.

I'd firmly placed myself in the "show me" state with Garrett.
Garrett is maddingly upbeat. He came close to having fire in his belly when he scolded Elliott last week. But then he made sure he layered on praiser for Elliott.
It's frustrating.

Ok. Since I don't really do that, it ought to be pretty easy for me.

How many NFL seasons have you watched at this point, Gimme? And how many of those were decided preseason? How many by week 4?
I was under the impression this was the regular season, not the preseason. No more 'shine fer yew.

I was under the impression you were *****ing about preseason prognostications when you trotted them out, since nobody's been chirping much about this team being Superbowl ready since week two. But then, it's difficult to tell sometimes.

Either way, the point stands. Nobody qualifies for the championship game in week four, so the dramatics here are unnecessary.
