If the Cowboys have a good a good season, is it because?

I think 8-10 is more accurate unless you think we absolutely suck. Let me give you a pessimistic prediction.

NFCE
3-5

NFCN
1-3

AFCW
2-2

The Jets and Panthers. That gives us 8 wins right there. I think we'll get more, but 8 wins minimum.

You’re figuring on a good result for every team we are better than on paper.

I recall playing the winless Jets on the road in 2019 and getting beat.

I only named two teams. Every year we lose to some bum team. Every year we beat some team that was not as good as they were supposed to be. But either way, those are the types of teams we beat. We're not the team that travels to Baltimore and shocks the Ravens. But I do think there are enough average teams out there to pick up 8 wins. I just wouldn't bet on it.

On that loss to the Jets. They were an 0-4 team that got absolutely destroyed the last two weeks by Philly and the Patriots. Darnold was sacked a combined 15 times and probably hurried 400 times. They looked better than us the following week. It's a bad feeling when you know the season is over that early in the year. The earliest a season was over for us was 2002 week 1.

I made the trip to Houston for that first game.

I don’t think I was ever more humiliated as a fan when walking out of that building.

That was back when I thought the team was pretty good because I believed what I wanted to be the case vs what was real.
