How ugly is it likely to get in coming weeks?

Starting 0-2 was not going be a serious problem until we saw how poorly they coached and played in all phases during 0-1. The Cowboys played the same team a year ago, lost, and looked really good in doing so. It's looking like a very disappointing season ahead.

Starting 0-2 was expected even with Dak healthy , now it’s almost a lock. Especially with Bengals coming off a loss. This has potential of Cincinnati getting very well on Sunday.

My sense is the uglier this gets could have a carry over into potentially more winnable games while Dak is out like in NY and at home against Wash.

I hate to get ahead of myself here but a good performance even in a close loss Sunday could go a long way moving forward installing some confidence against lesser or more equal opponents.

But this could get out of hand very quickly . 0-3 or even 0-4 with 2 very tough opponents following and then the dumpster fire begins wondering whether we can win one while Dak is out. Which would fuel the need for him to return sooner.

I think we can possibly win one or two games with Rush but a good performance even in a loss could go along way heading up to NY on Monday night for the nation to see.
Might not be a bad thing.

I mean, what's going to bring about real and actual change besides rock bottom?

I doubt we are close to that point, but if we are going to be a 7-10 team that uses Prescotts injury as an excuse, I'd rather go 2-15 and see Jerry humiliated, and not so convinced he is "close."

For sure doesn't look good at all. Even if dak didnt go down it still looked bleak. Just going to try enjoy it as much as I can lol.

Once you start looking terrible against division teams it could defeinitely get ugly! Bucs and Bengals are one thing, but if you're getting punched in the mouth by the Giants, that will not go over well.

You know the ugly meter is buried when your starting QB goes down and you don't feel any additional stress from the game.

The Cowboys will win some of these games with defense. Rush beat a good Vikings team on the road. The Cowboys will also play teams that have injuries as well. It is basically one game at a time. If the Cowboys can be 4-6 by week 11 they have a chance to make the playoffs similar to the Eagles last season.

It's not so much the losses to come I'm concerned about. It's the way, manner and reaction of the owner/GM I worry about. (what he'll do)

I dont get Dallas fans

they expect the absolute worst in any case...

stop this line of thinking..,.theres teams who havent won anything and havent dont squat since the 1800s and they have more confidence than Dallas fans

we dont know what will happen these coming weeks, we could be 5-1 by the time dak returns we could be 0-6 lets let the games play out first
