How far will we make it?

I think Dallas beats Tampa.

After that, who knows...

Ceiling is a wild card win. And I don't even see that happening.

We are leaking in almost every position. OL is in shambles. Can't run block and this offense goes as the run game goes. We have spares like Gallup and Brown as our #2 and #3 guys. DL gets no push at all. Parsons is banged up and has nothing left. DBs minus Diggs are very bad. Injuries accumulated in the last 6 weeks and they are showing. Losing Steele on the OL was a huge blow to our run game. Dak is a QB who feeds off the run game and play action. That goes away and he isn't Brady (prime version) or Mahomes who can go out there and sling it 40-50 times and be efficient. Zeke looks like he is running in cement shoes.

I got a feeling on Tuesday Jerry is going to wish he had a couple quality DTs.

Will he? We haven't had quality DTs in how long now and nothing changes. It's one of the main reasons we get beat come playoff time. We get manhandled up front and the opposing offense dominates, especially on the ground. Our last 2 playoff games were the Rams and Niners. Both of them won by beating us up front and dominating on the ground. Controlled the entire game and we were playing from a big deficit much of the game. DTs aren't "Sexy" enough for the Jones circus. They build their defense outside in. We go cheap and quantity over quality for DTs.

one and done it is the cowboys way. two straight 12-5 seasons with nothing to show for it.

I'd prefer them over delusional people any day.

There are pessimists, realists, optimists, and delusional people. The pessimists and delusional folks can both take their opinions and {NSFW}.

Will we get by the Bucs and how far will we go?

Get past Bucs? That’s really optimistic

Will we get by the Bucs and how far will we go?

I believe we can eck out a win if Brady is harassed, maybe 24-20, but we shall fall to pieces against the 49ers in tha next week, inquisitive lad.

Egads, two generations since we last won an NFC title, much less a Super Bowl.

Will it now be year 27?
Almost a quarter century when we last were a championship team, Pauley Shore was a curiosity and Wade Phillips was dancing to "Macarena" in Buffalo. And later, "YMCA."


Wade Phillps, best dancer in Cowboys History!
I mean, damn, chaps, the arm movements alone.

Man, I'd HATE to have many of the people who replied to this thread in my life. Must be miserable to be around them.

Good answer. Good answer. I like the way you think. I'm going to be watching you.
