The schedule sets up favorably to go 12-5 again next year.

Unfortunately this team does not have a Kittle-esque player at TE or the reliable #2 WR we’ve known since July.

Pollard has been given the opportunity the last 2 years to be the workhorse and has gotten hurt both times. Last year with the plantar fasciitis and this year with the leg.

Getting a dominant LG would be best assuming Tyron retires. McGoverns serviceable but no road grater.

Defensively the team played as well as could be expected. Need another CB to go with Bland and Diggs.

That does seem to be the ceiling for the best Dallas can come up with. Which is still not good enough in Dallas, maybe in Houston, Chicago, Indy, Detroit or any other place,....but not here. Especially after almost three decades now. Incredible.

Not sure. Sadly the Giants will be better so a sweep of them is optimistic. Detroit will not be an easy out. Neither will the Chargers. I see 10-7 and another road playoff game to SF where we get to enjoy more replays of the catch and airtime of Jerry Rice wearing another stupid outfit.

2023 season will be wheels off and I can see us getting a Top-10 pick to finally draft Dak's successor. McCarthy has no long-term future, they will lose Quinn, RB will be a question mark, and Dak will continue to decline. There is light at the end of the tunnel...we're not quite there yet but at least we can start to see the end of the Dak Prescott Era here.

If Dan Quinn leaves, we will probably be an 8 and 9 team. Giants are getting better. Eagles are dominant. Commanders are getting better... meanwhile we'll probably let Pollard walk, let Dan Quinn Walk, and grab some hobbled 40 year old players in free agency.

I think they regress…regardless of schedule.

They'll probably give McCarthy an extension and point out how much better he is than 8-8 Garrett but if our season still ends every year in the Divisional Round or WC round who cares really?

This is what I've seen over the last 27 years. Jerry will do something drastic to get fans back on board again, whether it's fire MM or Moore, draft a 3rd round QB or trade for a fast runner, or have an outstanding draft. Then the fans will jump back on board and load up in Oxnard to show support. We'll all get excited since we've not seen football in 6 months, and we'll all pick the Boys to go 9-8 but get mad when they lose another play off game, and be right back here same time same channel talking about this player and that player, meanwhile, Jerry escapes without blame.

MM has played in a crap division for 2 years. Dan Quinn has been responsible for half our wins. Next year without Quinn, and a exposed QB we'll be below
.500

If Quinn leaves, 12-5 is all but out the window, especially if Moore is back. Only choice to keep him is to make him HC, and we know MM is coming bac

I doubt that. We have no idea if Quinn will be back and if not who will be running the D. No idea who they will resign. We know for sure they won't spend on any big name FA's, thats the only certainty. The NFC East is going to be tougher next year too. I seriously doubt they will get lucky enough to get a team as bad as TB was for a first round Wild Card layup game like they did this year either. You are way too optimistic.

The fans weren’t on board this year until they started winning. Now regular season games become meaningless again because of how they played in January.
