Call me
When the cowboys actually beat a good team.

Because they got spanked by the two ok teams they’ve played so far.
We just beat Pittsburgh, lol I was one of the very few that had us beating them. And we’re going to beat Detroit also.

You have a revision each week. You have gone from they aren't good to they are average. You will revise again next week.
That's not really a revision.

Average is not good.

Both average teams and bad teams by definition are "not good".

If he went from BAD to average...that's a revision.

Thank you.

A team dealing with the most powerful phenomenon in all of sports, NFC East Curse...no repeat winners. Just got to get a wildcard.

I think we all know this season is about 1 thing: Can we somehow claw our way into a WildCard game, and bring everyone 1 extra week of happiness, before they get blown out in the WC or Divisional Round (a.k.a. same as last 30 years)

honestly we should do you a favor and not call you at all. It's not good for your mental health to "root" for a sports team and not enjoy any wins.

I kinda feel like we will beat Detroit....based on gut feeling.

I think we beat Detroit, sending everyone in here into a complete frenzy, which will include no less than 3 different threads suggesting we're a SuperBowl team. .....and then we'll lose the next 2 games in a row, one of which will be a blowout.

Just a hunch

Certainly aren’t winning or competing for a superbowl. So for me the season is about player development.
+1 ........ this could very be FO exact plan. They probably already have a good idea vets won't return in 2025. So let's see what depth we have behind them. In other words, it's possible this season is part of a bigger/larger plan.

. And Wash def improved
I don't trust them but sometimes momentum is like a freight train, it gets going and everything goes right until it doesn't. (lol)
But give them credit......they are 4-5 wins from probably guaranteeing a playoff berth ( remember 10 wins is the key ).

Nothing has changed for me. This is MAYBE an 8-win team. I don't know how anybody can believe this game changes anything.

When was the last time that the Cowboys lost 3 in a row at home? Has to be in the same year.
Stay tuned!

Well the green bay game was last year I get that but we haven’t only lost we’ve been shellacked outside a late comeback in ravens game

Im optimistic we can beat Detroit but I also know we are capable of getting blown out.

Im one of the more positive guys on this site so win or lose im down with the cowboys till they get eliminated

I don’t how these folks in here can follow a team that makes them feel the way it does . I’m just not wired like that

I also understand this team is jeckyll and Hyde and extremely undisciplined and can drop a stinker in a second

There does appear to be a great deal of parity in the league but I had us at 10 to 12 wins and I’m gonna lean towards 10 now but as we get closer to the end of season I’ll know more

I really do think the league is down this year. The Chiefs and the Vikings at 5-0 but neither seem that impressive. A LOT of midrange teams that need something big to happen for them to step up. Who will it be?

I didn’t say I don’t enjoy the wins. Some people seem to be offended because I don’t think the cowboys are Super Bowl contenders.

Perhaps they should seek mental health services for being so easily offended.

That’s honestly what I thought before they re-signed Dak. That it was a mini rebuild season.

After they re signed Dak it made me second guess that. But it could still be their motivation.

I think so .......they knew Dak wasn't going anywhere
I could be wrong but I think they plan to get Dak and Lamb to sign and make sure there's enough left for Parsons. Use this season to kinda streamline the team for 2025 with either MM getting a new deal or a new coach staff.
If you are MM, you are coaching not only for the Cowboys this season but your resume for 31 other teams.

Actually, MM said 10 wins is where you start to feel good about your playoff chances as a coach.
