rooting for all wins. IDC about the draft until February. Sorry its fan thing drafts high draft picks are no guarantee to be turned into success proof all around the nfl most of the bad teams been bad for decade or more picking top 10 for that long…just win as many as you can and then draft will have plenty of good talent where’ve you choose just make better choices..

Nobody will remember who won these games. Your draft determines future success.

The chances of the Cowboys making it to the playoffs are 1%< even if they win all remaining games. Unfortunately, tanking probably won't better our draft position enough to make a difference.

I'm apathetic.

The players are going to do what they're going to do - which is try to win.
I don't get all bothered about "tanking for a better draft choice" because I have absolutely NO control over what other people do.
So, I sit back and "enjoy" the game.

I'm rooting for tank, because we'd be toast in the playoffs.

With Rush, the ceiling is a div round embarrassment-- maybe even Wild Card embarrassment.

That said, it would be amazing to somehow knock Philly out of the playoffs.

Bash me as you see fit, but I don’t want to “make the playoffs” and offer Jerry and his kid reassurance that what they are doing (more like NOT doing actually) might be working.

Of course they have the injury excuse, but when they win six games again next year, and then again in 26…just maybe there’s a remote shot “that good hard look in the mirror” reveals something other than greatness.

Doubtful, but that’s what hope has been reduced to.

Just going to enjoy the games.
This will not be a fun year for the playoffs. As most teams I do not like will make it. So I will be rooting for the underdogs.

I will be going for the Lions or Vikings to get to the SB for the NFC. As long as it is not GB, Philly or Washington
AFC, probably the Texans or Chargers if they get in the playoffs. Anyone except KC or Steelers, then Ravens after that.

I am not thinking one way or the other about Dallas. Prefer they win, but will not be upset if the lose.

.....if anything, I hope Dallas plays the spoiler.

Playoffs is not our thing. We dont have the talent for it.

Have you seen Cooper Rush lately? Not going to happen.o_O

Say once again it's not where you pick it's how you pick you need to pick well we have picked Micah Parsons at #12 matter fact we traded from 10 t0 12 and got Osa as well with the 3rd, we also got CD lamb at 17 it's who you pick the proper players stop worrying about your draft area TJ Watt went where tell me explain where he went in the draft explain how he slid all the way down in the draft explain to me how you can get players like Trayvon diggs in the second round???:!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

it's because it's who you pick, just make the proper picks,

it's not being in the top ten because I do remember, I remember all those bad teams like the Cleveland Browns who had three number one picks like three years in a row they've had two number one picks a few years in a row , they've been picking in the top 5 for decades and they're still bad .. And yet that team with a normal GM and with a normal owner a non meddling front office somehow doesn't matter where you pick in the draft because they can't get it right..

it's not where you are picking, it's who you are picking the draft...

They simply just need to get it right wherever they're picking pick the best player available for the biggest holes you have on your team and that's how it works the draft does not determine future success remember they need to do more free agency we got a lot of young players we got a lot of depth on this team and yes we will remember these games because we're watching that depth grow we're seeing that a lot of you have been wrong about some of these draft picks it may have taken two to three years but they're finally bearing fruit.. Including a lot of the undrafted players you do realize that's part of the offseason process right the guys that slipped through the draft somehow it didn't matter where they were picked they turned out to be pretty damn good players do I need to go on I think you guys worry about too much about losing so we can get a higher pick and that hope that they pick the proper players no matter where they're picking..

We will see how it plays out. Jeanty could very well go 1 pick ahead of them.

And I'll tell you 70% of reactions are we should not pick him we should pick somebody else with a higher rating anywhere else on the team with a big hole in it and pick our guy in the second or third round we can get a great running back see that's why you're not A GM I know he seems to be the best running back the drop and he is not he is one of them there's like 8 really good ones and there are three or four of them that can fill our needs the same way if not better this dude has a lot of mileage on him you can't fall in love with the dream hell even the heisman voters saw it..

There's a lot of people including me that feel that if there is a better player on the board when you're picking you do not reach for the running back even if it's a tie you take the corner you take the pass rusher you take somebody besides a running back because there are a lot of really good running backs in this draft do not be blinded because he was the biggest talk of the here I'm not saying he's a bad player and that he wouldn't be a good pick for us I'm saying he would not be a good pick for us in the first round...

So this is where you're gone wrong you're an Internet GM that feels like we should take Jeanty, no matter what and a lot of us are saying no you don't there's got to be a better wide receiver or an interior D lineman or a pass rusher or a middle linebacker or somebody besides a running back ...

look what we're doing lately with Rico we can get a guy better than Rico in the third round we got Tony in the fourth round you're having like blinding light for one big name and that is not how the draft works.. I'm not saying I'd be upset if they took him I'm saying the better draft strategy says you probably should pass on him in the top 15 now if we happen to be at 17 or 18 and he's there then maybe you go get him but not all of us feel that way about him just think about all the mileage he has on his body right now how much can we get out of him you have to think about that that's what happened to Ezekiel Elliott he got overused in college he got over used his first four years and it all caught up to him..
