Don’t jump off , Cowboys could easily start 0-2

[glimmerman]

Agree, unlikely but not a reach at all. I certainly see us winning at one of the first two. More so the Bucs than the Bengals.

We and neither of those teams we play have no idea what kind of team we will have. The preseason games aren’t a whole lot of help when we don’t play starters much. The first few games around the league will be sloppy all around.

They couldn't "easily" go 0-2. That would take some effort.

They played the Bucs close last season on the road with half a defense. They are a better team this season and the Bucs aren't.

As for the Bengals, their defense is average, they were outgained in yardage all four playoff games, the ball bounced their way more than once. If they repeated those playoffs ten times I seriously doubt they would have gone to the SB any more than once.

"Don't jump off".... @Ranching NEVER listens. Always showing off!
Exactly what happened at last years opener in Tampa. Zuerlein missed three 3 pointers. Dallas lost by 3. Would have been the 1st time the Dallas Cowboys defeated Brady. Dallas outplayed them hands down. I loathe losing my missed fg's. Especially chip shots!

You 100% right that the Cowboys should have won that game.. but they lost by 2 not 3.. and even with the missed FGs they still would have won had they not mismanaged the possession where they kicked the FG to go up 29-28. If they just run the ball, eat the clock then kick the game winning FG with 25 seconds left or so I am fairly confident they would have won that game anyway.

Hmm, how would you define contender?

Something Marlon Brando could have been.

I'm more concerned about January.

You are exactly right.........heard many coaches over years admit nothing scares them more than the one or two games.

Possible nfc championship birth considering bengals went last year in the afc and tampa is a sb favorite

Not with the TOAD HUNTER calling out the signals!

 

[Cowboysheelsreds053]

I saw in one of the Dak trolls thread they were already suggesting to bash Dak if we start 0-2.

I’m not sure why we’d be expected to beat either one.

LOL, well we know the Horsemen did not start that thread because they would not suggest doing anything pertaining to Dak, they do it.

Oh I see what happened you responded on your other account by accident. Or Mountaineer is your lover. No judgment here. Just wanted some insight on what you or he thought of Hurts going forward.

With our brutal beginning with Bucs and Bengals at home it’s very likely we could start 0-2. Which shouldn’t be alarming . I’d be very surprised to win either of these games.

The good news is we have NY and Wash following . And then Rams and at Philly. But then it gets much easier after that with Lions and Bears.

5-3 or worse case scenario 4-4 at the bye puts us in good shape down the stretch to contend for division and playoffs.

9 or 10 wins still keeps us in contention for division and playoffs which for basically a retooling season about all we can hope for. And we’ll need to stay relatively healthy . If we over achieve it could be better but we’ll have to upset some teams we won’t be favored to win. I think 10-7 is a good goal.

Personally, I thunk it’s more likely we go 2-0 than 0-2. But the most likely scenario is 1-1 and the win will be the Bengals. Sure, they were In the SB last year, but their weakness is still the OL even though they may have improved there. And, as Jacksonville and Carolina point out, getting on a roll one year does not mean much the following.

You seem insecure and alone.
But, sweet Emory, be advised that when you walk with Jesus you are never alone. Besides, here at the CZ, it is hale fellowship 24/7, old boy! You can be a part of us. Cowboy Party! Jolly good chaps all. Me regards to your aunt with the hip problems. Control the blood pressure, and stay out of the shrubs.

Hurts?
Why does it matter?
Do you need a hobby or a mommy or daddy?
Do you like Roman Gladiators?

Don't jump off, Cowboys could easily start 2-0.

Yeah but where’s the platinum guarantee?

It will be very difficult for the Bucs to beat the Cowboys in week 1. Especially, if the Cowboys are healthy.

 

[kskboys]

Bucs are nowhere near the team that won the super bowl two years ago. Unless we do something stupid like trying to beat Brady w/ coverage, we should win that game.

 

[BourbonBalz]

Everyone is beatable . That’s not the point of this thread .

So, you think we will be expected to win. Not from Cowboy fans but everyone in the media, analysts, etc.??

I think we’ll be a slight favorite in the Cindy game and a slight underdog in the Tampa game. Both probably 3 points or less.

That’s some diehard stuff right there

 

[Jstopper]

And......then what another 30-0 beating(etc Broncos) by the 4th Q by the Lions?

If the cowboys win either of the 1st two games (which you said Dak can’t beat playoff teams) you have to stop posting for a month. If we lose both games I will stop posting for a month. Deal? Put your money where your big fat mouth is.
