Next 5 games
@ SF
@ ATL
PHL
HOU
@ WSH
I haven't been excited about this year at all, given the poor offseason IMO. I'm also a believer that our only hope for some major changes with coaching, free agency, etc will be if the Cowboys have a dismal year. I see a very good chance of going 0-5 or 1-4 in these games. Networks are laughing at the Cowboys, and Jerry IMO still doesn't see an issue with this roster/coaching. A poor stretch, I hope, would be eye opening for him.
It will be interesting to see the character of this team over this 5 game stretch. I don't know if SF is healthy or not yet, but I do not think they are the same team we saw last year. After getting demolished by Detroit I would expect the Cowboys to put up a fight in SF. But it depends on who plays for Dallas. If we don't have Parsons back, or Bland, I cannot imagine Dallas coming out with a win against the 49ers no matter how fired up they are.
But I expect Atlanta and Washington to be blowout losses. Atlanta has a power running game like New Orleans and I can see them rolling it up on our defense. The Cowboys offense is inept from lack of talent so it is not going to get better anytime soon.
I can see the Eagles rolling it up on Dallas but there is something wrong with that team too. If there is one game in the next 5 they can win, I think that's the one.
Houston can be very physical. The Cowboys don't like that.
Washington has the kind of offense that is going to be a problem for Dallas. They can run the ball, the QB can scramble, they have receivers that can get open. and their QB is smart and accurate. They don't punt very often and the Cowboys do not force punts very often. I can see Dan Quinn having his team fired up to beat Dallas, and like Detroit, he might roll up the score.
I think Dallas is going to win 1 of these 5 but I could see them losing all 5 and getting blown out 3 times.
