I have both hope and doubts. It's ok to have both

I think that you are going to be surprised. They will win between 8 and 11 games.
Oh, but what about all the talent? What about 12 games, huh. Maybe your TV needs replaced.
 
sucker LOL JK

This is why you buy tickets for the first 6 games there's much more hope that they're still in it for the year and still playing hard trying to win.. December might be a wasted ticket lol. I like October games weathers beautiful for tailgating and they still have HOPE LOL..
LOL, I fell for it, and I swore to never again. I think this is gonna be a do or die game in December. Plus a dear friend of mine is a Viking fan and when they released the opponents we had already agreed to go see the game. Anywho, Dallas, as a city, is awesome in December.
 
Exciting to watch and see who will be successful. The bottom line is getting younger and showing improvement.
I was over it last year. I felt like we should have blown it up. But they actually pulled off what could be a good off season. They didn’t fix it all but one couldn’t expect that. But what they fixed I like the players. Hopefully they all work out. But I feel more confident than last year
 
Three months into a pretty good 2025 Cowboys off-season, I have realized I have a combination of both hope and doubts. Like the beginning of every Cowboys season I sincerely hope they have a great year. There are some reasons for hope.

And like most Cowboys fans who have watched the last three decades in mind numbing frustration, it’s also hard to not also have some doubts too. Especially when realizing the architect and centerpiece of this organization remains fully in charge. And fully unaccountable along with his DNA fortunate offspring.

So I have BOTH - hope and doubts.

Now I believe like most fans here on this forum that the Cowboys have had a pretty good off-season so far. Last off-season ended up being a kamikaze mission by Jerry, so anything would be better than that. But there are several good things about this off-season so far.

So until the real bullets fly in real games that matter beginning in September, I will remain both hopeful and skeptical.

For those fellow fans here who have nothing but good feelings about the coming year, as well as those who also have serious doubts about the coming season because of the past, I understand how you both feel. We should all allow each other some latitude around here to believe either.


This is my least favorite time of the football calendar. Honestly, I’m tired of the off-season and the endless speculation about what it all means and the silly arguments that take place . Only the regular season and (hopefully) playoffs will determine how good this off-season really was.

I’m so ready to see this regular season begin! Go Cowboys!
I’ve seen this movie 30 years in a row and I know how it ends. Until the Jones family sell, the outcome is very predictable.

No, what you see is that even with Parcells, no one lead the talent that Jerry put together to the promised land, after
Jimmy Johnson. One has to get real and watch and judge today...not a dysfunctional 30 year old calendar intellectually void. No, this isn't Sodom and Gomorrah.

Really? How does this turn out then:

Guyton has a terrific physical skillset to build from.

He’s a tremendous athlete for his 6’8”, 322 lb. build, with very good mobility when on the move. Where he has to improve on is his technique, and avoiding getting overextended on his initial punch against pass rushers. He also drew multiple penalties last season. The good news is Guyton does look like he’s added some strength in the offseason, and a change in physique should yield better results in year two as well as being further acclimated with the NFL. His continued growth is the most vital element in the success of the offensive line in 2025.

What's your prediction?
This will have a real effect as well as Turpin:

With 176 touches last season, Blue scored a touchdown around every 12 or 13 touches for Texas. So, that means that he doesn't need a lot of opportunities to be effective.

If you had doubts and beliefs, I would be impressed.

wow I want some of what you are smoking to come up with that fantasy....
 
7-10 or 6-11. The defense is not fixed. No involvement in FA. Jerry still the head coach.
Lol, I'll go with 8 to 11 wins. It looks like they are going in the right direction. Some of these new players are going to be outstanding. It looks like you missed out on free agency and the Pickens trade may have brought them the best available player in this offseason.

First off , NOT bringing McCarthy back as HC was the first big break .. as Jerry seemed prepared to offer him a new term contract - thank U big mike for rejecting Jerry .. !

Now it became an immediate matter of successfully replacing McCarthy as HC

- Secondly i think i would have been more excited and optimistic if it were a more reputable hot assistant taking the HC job ala Ben Johnson, or Lien Cohen., with skins on the wall
. and let's been surreal in that it was gonna be an offensive minded HC - per Dak Prescott
and hell no, i would have been very disappointed if Deion Sanders was anointed HC here .. Sorry Michael Irvin. !!

- Admittedly i wasn't inspired by the Schotty HC hire, as i took it as the Jones being lazy & cheap without choosing to gp a more thorough HC hire search ..so decided to let Schott sale-job his pitch for HC. from within - and we've had sales person great speech talkers insiders as HC here before... ala Dave Campo & Jason Garrett.
- i really thought Kellen Moore would be the next HC hire here -with his stint here with the Jones, rapport with Dak, and his rep as an offensive mind, coming off a successful campaign with the SB Eagles as OC.

-Those are my skeptical doubts - But here are my hopes & optimistics:
- a young energetic asst coach who has asst & OC experience, who has a rapport with Dak, and by now a feel for the current
offensive personnel.

- Who thought Lions HC Dan Campbell (whose never been an OC) would be a successful HC hire ? The key to Campbell will be the key to Schott - ability to hire top notch assistants around him and knowing when to delegate duties to asst. coaches, and when to take over himself as a HC.
