First four games

[ChronicCowboy]

if the team has any hope for a top seed, they’ll need to be 4-1 going into the Lions game.

Cleveland will be a good test with how much our run defense has improved. I don’t expect us to have much success running the ball or passing tbh. It will be a very close game 50/50 with who wins.

First four games, my expectation is 2-2 but would not be surprised to go 1-3

I've got them starting out 2-2. I wouldn't overreact to a slower than usual start though. This team has a lot of rookies in the starting lineup, and honestly probably takes the defense a few weeks to adjust to a new scheme. I think they are good enough to beat NYG and NO on talent alone, however that Cleveland and Baltimore games should be tough. I would have loved a cupcake game like Carolina to start the season just because I dont see this team hitting its peak until later in the year.

The Pittsburgh game will be close because Tomlin believes in being strong up the middle.

They have serious OL issues

 

[LonnieElam]

The “ dawg pound “ prides itself in its obnoxious behavior , I would think Cleveland rather then Pitt is the tougher road game out of the gate .

The dog pound was 50% Cowboys fans when I went.

Apparently I'm the only one who sees the Ravens game as the toughest of the first 4

Cleveland isn't going to pound the rock with Ford lol

People are saying we have a shot at beating the Browns since they have injuries. We're beating they ***es either way.

COWBOYS 30 BROWNS 13

3-1

Ok but they aren't strong anywhere

This is a tough opener hostile environment . Perfect test for Dak and the offense.

Exactly. Winning that game on the road in THAT environment will take a yeomans effort.I see a slow start out of the gate. We could very well be 1-3 early,backs against the wall mentality will be needed by week 5. I can see it coming.

 

[visionary]

I will watch the regular season with interest but give it no real importance

We know Dak is a very good regular season QB

3-1 or 2-2 will be meaningless IMO

 

[Rockport]

Didn’t say Pittsburgh would win. I think the Cowboys have a chance in any game. Just saying the game in Pittsburgh will be tough.

No I agree. That game will be brutal.They are loaded for Bear. If we somehow beat them, I will believe. That game is a true test.

I see we have different thoughts on how the first four games will play out. But I appreciate you for liking my post and not saying I'm a homer or "Jerry loves you!" or things like that. Cheers, Hermano. I'm feeling optimistic with a new DC and his tough nosed philosophy, plus I think our O-Line will be nasty this year. We will see a more balanced attack like in 2016 which will help Dak be the bus driver (nothing wrong with that) that it will take for us far in the post-season. Yes, I do believe we're making the playoffs again.

GO COWBOYS!

Baltimore is an automatic loss. A tough team with a good defense and good qb? Goodnight.

And if watson returns to form. That's another automatic L. But if he's still sorry we have a good shot

That’s a good sign . Hopefully the fist fights and beer throwing is after the game ,

I'm not sure where you're getting all of this, but everyone was super cool and chill. I wore my Cowboys jersey out to the bars even, and had zero problems. Not even good-natured ribbing. I'm sure it's different when the Steelers are there, though.

Glad you had a good time . Go Cowboys

 

[Flamma]

I’m an optimist a fan ok I get that . I see the Cowboys if you break the schedule Down to 4 game chunks getting out of the gate 3-1 . I think they possibly open with a close loss by a FG in Cleveland then taking the next three with 2 at home and a road win in PItt. I’m hoping Russell Wilson is still starting for Pitt when Dallas visits .

We don't play the Steelers in the first 4 games.

My mistake it’s the Giants then Steelers … thanks for correcting . I’ll say the Cowboys have every chance to open at 4-1 .
