This team usually wins early, then peters out down the stretch.

When it loses early, it usually means a 5 or 6 win season.

My favorite time of year football and wings and refreshment on Sunday

doesn’t get any better

The only down side to that is that wings are now 3 times as much as 2 years ago but drinking enough refreshment will make it forgettable.

Game 7 or 8 usually tells us how far this team will go. God forbid they start peaking in the last quarter of the season. And the final kiss of death is to rest starters in the last game to make sure any momentum that may be going, is thoroughly disrupted.

For some the season’s over on the first 3 and out. For others, after the first TD is scored, we’re headed to the SB.

True……and I look forward to the threads predicting that the rest of the league will steal our genius coordinators as well as the MVP threads for a couple players after a game or 2

I cannot believe we are back with our really ugly ex girlfriend.

That would be Maher.

How in the WORLD does that happen?

This 2022 Cowboys roster is certainly a young and interesting crew. A ton of rookies and new faces. Lots of questions at OL and WR. Maybe K too. Lots of upside and potential coupled with lots of uncertainty. Only in regular games against NFL starter quality competition can reveal what your team really is.

So here’s my big point: Win or lose Sunday night- blowout or close game- don’t judge this team at the beginning of the season. Give it at least 4-6 games before screaming SB or also saying “we’re going nowhere”. I doubt many will take my advice by I’m throwing it out anyway, :).

So if we win Sunday night keep these thoughts in mind:
  • Be excited. Celebrate.
  • Just remember- it’s 1 of 17.
  • It does not mean we can plan the parade route in February.
  • It does mean every play that worked Sun night will also work for games 2-17.
  • It does not mean if a rookie has a great play or even great game, they are headed to Canton.
  • What worked against Tampa Bay may not against Cincy and vice versa.
If we lose Sunday night just remember:
  • Some great seasons start with a loss.
  • It’s just 1 of 17.
  • It does not mean we suck, and there’s no hope. (Well it might mean we suck but it’s too early to know!)
  • If a rookie or new player has a bad game it doesn’t necessarily mean they will play poorly all year.
  • What didn’t work against Tampa may work against Cincy next week.
BOTTOM LINE: It’s one game. It takes 17 to determine what kind of team we are. That’s why you play them ALL before determining playoff seeds.

Win or lose Sunday I’m going to be glad REAL football is finally here and that we are at beginning of a long season to determine what this team is. Let’s GOooooooooooooo Cowboys!

Does it matter? Without a real HC this team always folds like a cheap suit in the end.

Would you still have the WAIT AND SEE attitude if the Bucs dominate the cowboys 27-14?
What if the cowboys lose by 20 or more?

I've prepared myself for a slow start. I'm predicting 2-3 with an 0-2 start. Then I predict we hit our grove offensively and make the playoffs. If I take my emotional glasses off I truly don't see us winning any non division games for the first couple weeks. Then we'll get stronger as the season goes IMO.

Good thread. I don’t think anyone in here cares about the regular season anymore. Win multiple playoff games already.

Sad to say but I at least partly agree with this...so tired of losing in the playoffs, kinda diminishes the regular season wins
