Cowboys 0-4 in preseason; are you worried?

[Fla Cowpoke]

It's funny because I thought early on there was a lot of promising talk and game one the team looked pretty good....the offense looked different and energized. The problem is that it seems like that was the highlight and it hasn't really got any better since then.

The places we needed guys to step up are on the DL, at LB and at safety. Not sure anyone really did that and we are going into the season counting on guys all coming off injuries. They are likely to not be in game shape so we will have to rotate them with guys that frankly haven't been very good. It is going to be a juggling act.

I think we can be decent if the injury bug stays away, but with our recent history I wouldn't bet on anything.

Why worry? Lower your expectations. Just cheer for the team.

 

[Joe Realist]

No, they will stink.

7-8-1

 

[Darkhound]

Itś been a while since I posted but here I go.

More than worried, I am saddly used to this.
Our team, the Cowboys have been nothing but mediocre for almost 20 years now.

 

[jday]

If they can go 2-2 the first 4 weeks......they got a chance.

Otherwise...if they dig themselves a whole.....

They could fire Garrett ...Just like they did Wade mid-season....

I am just going to sit back and try like hell to enjoy the ride. Not sure what to expect at this point.

 

[Fritsch_the_cat]

I quit worrying several years ago and accepted the fact that this team is stuck in a long cycle of mediocrity.

 

[Bluestang]

We haven't been able to see Melton, McClain, Claiborne, or even to an extent Carr take meaningful snaps in a preseason game.

I've seen people use these guys as arguments as to why our defense is going to be better.

I'm struggling to see how they will because no one has seen them play so what evidence is there to suggest that they will play at high levels?


Worried, no because the FA period and draft gave me insight into what the team was thinking.

Holeheartedly agree.

i half to holeheartedly agree.

This year the cicle will be broken. I can assure you that.

0-4 record means jack to me.

I'm concerned about how much that defense lacks any depth whatsoever, to say nothing of the obvious holes with the 1's and 2's.

This could be a long season.

It will be a long season. But it will be instructive to Jerra who will learn dis: YOU NEED AN DEFENSE!!!!!!!
A OFFENSE WITH A STATS-GIFTED QB WHO WILTS IN WIN OR GO HOME GAMES AND A MEDIOCRE RB WILL NOT GIT IT DONE NO MATTER HOW MANY GIFTED WRS YOU HALF!!!!
DEFENSES WIN GAMES AND YOU DON'T HALF NO DEFENSE WHATSOEVER AND HENCEWORTH!

 

[DoomsDayD]

At this point in time and from what I have seen and read...8-8 would be a plus for this team. And like a few people mentioned,if ROMO goes down..LOOK OUT.

 

[CanadianCowboysFan]

The defense is expansion team level. The offense could be very good. We have little to no depth. Garrett will get a pass as usual regardless.

the usual cast of characters will state he is the right guy for the job and that it is just a matter of time.

Hell those same guys lauded him for his pants policy when he became head coach.

Yeah personally I don't have a pants policy

 

[The Quest for Six]

Didn't need to watch one preseason game to come to the conclusion that this team will finish with 6 wins,the defense is void of top talent, even a blind man can see that...

indy went 0-4. giants went 5-0, seattle went 2-2....

that's enough to see you don't put any weight into pre-season

Preseason isn't about wins and losses, it's about player evaluation and conditioning

 

[tyke1doe]

I don't have my hopes invested in this season. I'm expected double-digit losses. If the team has double-digit wins, Jason Garrett should get Coach of the Year.

well anyone evaluating this team must realize it is crap

 

[Cowboys606]

The Cowboys are better on the offensive side if the ball. By the looks of things they took a step back on D. They should have been 10-6 last year possibly 11-5. I'm not worried really think this team will go 10-6, 9-7 and make the playoffs.
