We’re at least three wins better than that on coaching alone.
Wait what???
We’re at least three wins better than that on coaching alone.
I dont see the dts as a big upgrade nor do I see 6 gimmies. Lol schedule looks rough.
I can see 9-10 wins if everything goes better than expected but I still don't even expect there to be a season.
How do you not understand that. Jason Garrett lost at least two games a season all by himself. We got three games that we can win just because of a new coach. I definitely see playoffs. If there’s even a complete seasonWait what???
Is this sarcasm. I’m happy if there’s just one game I won’t miss itProbably no point in watching this season then...
I got a bad feeling this Opt out thing is going to gain momentum and we are going to lose some guys as well..
normal year, its very difficult but possible to at least get a feel forI really dont know how anyone can break down a season week by week before it even starts.
Is this sarcasm. I’m happy if there’s just one game I won’t miss it
The tougher the better!!!!!! Hey, if you can't beat good teams, you don't deserve the playoffs anyway!!!!
NY twice
Wash twice
Cleveland
Cincinnati
That's 6 gimmes. If Dallas thinks that NY and Wash are competitive teams then this season is already over and the team needs to dump all its players and start over.
Cowboys finish the year 1-1. The season will be canceled by Week 3.
I have much higher hopes for this team than 8-8. I think the talent in there to work with and I think McCarthy can get the most out of them. I don't expect him to be as conservative especially on the road or when facing top teams. I think Dallas tended to play not to lose when facing top ranked opponents and becoming overly conservative in their game plans. I think McCarthy along with Moore will open things up much more. Big concern for me is defense. Not exactly sure what to expect.
My feelings exactly. Offense is going to be a force so long as everyone stays healthy.Naw man don't give this team any excuses. If they give up 30 points a game alright. But that offense should be putting up more points than the defense gives up so I don't care about how many warts the defense has because it will but it shouldn't be enough to cripple our season and go 8-8. You are trying to save yourself misery or heart break but naw that ain't gonna fly with this offense. They BETTER perform and at a high rate.
Those predictions are pretty close to what I was thinking. I'm gonna add that when this team hits these first 3 losses that some of these Dak lovers will have gone into hiding.After looking at schedule and taking into account how rushed this whole thing is for a team with a brand new defensive system and way to communicate with the QB (McCarthy is the best QB coach there’s ever been here)
I just don’t see how the team is better than 8-8.
Week 1 - At Rams - they’ve lost a lot but they still have the boy wonder at HC and his schemes are not something I like a brand new defense having to face to open. LOSS
Week 2 - Falcons - Ryan and his trio of WRs return. There’s continuity at the OC spot and Ridley is poised to break out. Defensively they have to be better than last year - LOSS
Week 3 - At Seahawks - Russell Wilson and Pete Carroll. Did it on smoke and mirrors last year and should have some reinforcements this year - LOSS
Week 4 Browns - Also going through new system. Baker is a head case. Cowboys get first win of season - WIN
Week 5 - Giants - If it’s going to be a rough transition for Dallas, it will be that much tougher for Giants and Washington again - WIN
Week 6 - Cardinals - Not a believer in Kliff or Kyler. They’re doing a lot of retooling as well. - Another win comes here. WIN
Week 7 - At Washington - See the Giants - WIN
Week 8 - At Philadelphia - If this was after the bye I’d feel better about going into the Linc. As it is I’ll take Pederson and the DL - LOSS
Week 9 - Steelers - If Big Ben stays healthy they’ll be dangerous. Tomlin is a great coach to have for this season - LOSS
BYE - this will be where the staff can make better adjustments and team can start playing more to their talent level
Week 11 - At Vikings - Even without crowds there will still be Viking horn and a long travel trip after 2 weeks of not having to worry about COVID. Minn proved they were a different team going into NO last year and Zimm got the extension. I have Vikings in NFC Champ this year - LOSS
Week 12 - Washington - WIN
Week 13 - At Baltimore - I think it will be between Baltimore and Pitt to battle the Chiefs for the AFC Champ spot - LOSS
Week 14 - At Cinci - Team should start playing to their talent level. This will be a must win to have a chance at the playoffs. - WIN
Week 15 - SF - Shanahan has his offense rolling. They’ll be hitting on all cylinders this year and lucky that they get Dallas in a fluke year. In a normal year this may be a preview of the NFC Champ - LOSS
Week 16 - Philadelphia - Team avenges the earlier loss to Philly in an attempt to win out and get a wild card
Week 17 - At NYG - Giants have mailed it in by this point - WIN
Obviously we don’t know what injuries will happen or who will miss due to COVID. I think the team looks a lot better after the bye and in a normal year I’d have them beating Atlanta and either the Steelers or 49ers at home.
Now if they delay the season 3 weeks to allow for appropriate conditioning and practice it’s a whole new season. But this truncated rush job is not good for the team this year.
