Can we let go of our Super Bowl pretensions?

[vomiting discreetly.]

 

[Verdict]

All that matters is making the playoffs and how a team is playing at that time. Hopefully we win the NFC East and are playing out best football in the playoffs.

I think Zeke is slower than he was last year. The good news is he will end up playing himself into shape so that will remedy its self as long as he can stay eligible.

Have I mentioned I hate Goodell?

 

[Idgit]

Are you incapable of analyzing our chances? It’s clearly obvious this defense gives us little chance to win it all. At this point we will be struggling to make the playoffs.

You've seen a football season before, right? In case you haven't, they usually don't turn out the way it looks like they're going to turn out in week four.

 

[Idgit]

Good post. The OL issues could be fixed by swapping out Green and Collins. 4 positions are back to dominant and then only one questionable position and I have to think he would be better than Free.

I have to admit, that thought crossed my mind, too, this weekend. Although it means you have to expect Byron Bell to play meaningful snaps at RT, eventually. Yuck.

Some do and some don’t. Are u incapable of evaluating others teams by now or just the cowboys? Is Cleveland going to sb this year or you can’t tell yet?

Don’t insult other people just because you lack the analysis to make a call. Or maybe you just lack the stones.

Which is it?

The Browns are 0-4.

We all "lack the analysis to make the call" at 2-2. The difference between you and me is you just don't know it.

And it doesn't take stones to make a wild *** guess and pretend you're certain you're right about it. If you think those are stones, they're not stones.

 

[stilltheguru88]

Do y'all ever stop *****ing?

 

[CowboyRoy]

Oddly enough I believe the secondary will be the strength of this defense before all is said and done this year. Hopefully we don't piss off the year before we see the fruits of that happening.

There no chance of that as long as Heath is starting and playing center field.

Either your too chicken to make a call or you just have no clue. I knew it before the season started and I’ll say it with confidence again after 4 games. cowboys aren’t winning the sb with this defense this year.

Nothing genius about it. It’s actually a very easy call. Common sense.

And since my negative fears of this defense are coming to pass and with guys like Heath and taco unraveling exactly as I predicted, maybe you should stop telling us we don’t know what we’re talking about and just be a man and admit some guys just know what you don’t.

But wait......Garrett is a great coach and that’s one call you know for sure right?

the court decision on zeke will pretty much decide whether this team will do any thing this season

 

[bsbellomy]

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.

Nope. Pretensions are all I've got left.

Might be best for the court to rule in NFL's favor, that is going to be the ultimate outcome anyways. At least that way we can get the Zeke suspension over with this year, especially since it looks like the wheels are coming off this thing.

Just tank out and get a top 10 pick, we clearly are not SB material this year, even the freaking Skins look better than us.

Well, however it goes down, at least you'll know you gave them until week four to show you what they were all about. That's good enough.

I don't need more than that to tell this defense is hot garbage.....do you think its just by accident that we are the 26th defense in the league in points allowed?

And whats going to change to make this defense better, we get some rookies back or china doll Lee for a couple of more series before he is hurt again? Or maybe Irving comes back from suspension and his career 4.5 sacks pulls this unit out of the sewer?

At this point you pretty much have to play with what you got, and defensively that is not very much. We have a bunch of rookies, underachieving vets, and one stud that is hurt dam near every year. That is what we got, that's it, and that is what is 26th out of 32 teams.

After week four, you mean? Got it. Hey, you gave them four games. Nobody can fault you for not being thorough. You could have given up on them after the Giants game.

 

[DandyDon52]

After 4 games it is stupid for any team or their fans to talk about going to the Superbowl.
it's way too early .
you won't know who is going to the Super Bowl until much later in the season usually you won't even know then.
many teams look great and then lose in the playoffs like we did last year so as far as Super Bowl talk that's stupid.
all Dallas has to do is just get in the playoffs and then do something once their in.
I have my doubts about them being a good playoff team but anything's possible .
Kansas City is the only unbeaten team in the NFL and there's no guarantee that they're going to be in the Super Bowl so at this point it's just stupid to say who will be in the Super Bowl.

Idgit, you are a true homer.
Great from the standpoint of loyalty.
But your analyses are flawed. Flawed, I say!

How can you conclude I'm a homer based off of me saying you can't say anything definitive about any 2-2 team? That's not even necessarily a pro-Cowboys statement. It's just math.

You can pretend it's flawed all you want. The reality is, you don't get a good idea of who the real contenders are in an NFL season until after Thanksgiving.

These "analyses" aren't anything but garden variety knee-jerk overreactions. Deep down, you guys know it, too.

The reality is, homer McSuper Bowl, is that these Cowboys players are being prodded by Jason Garrett. It won't end well.
In your heart, you know I'm right. 2-2 is never a good precursor, matey!

If you want to feel bad just for the sake of feeling bad, it's not my place to stop you. All I've said in this thread is that it really is too soon to say for any team at 2-2.

If you really want to keep believing otherwise, it's ok with me for you to be wrong.
