I have a feeling we will win 6+ games. Especially if Bland comes back. Houston, Washington, Cincinnati,Carolina, and New York are winnable games.
I recall the Dallas vs. Detroit game. Cowboys were not competitive. I watched the Houston vs. Detroit game, Houston was able to compete with the Lions. How do you figure the Houston game is “winnable”? What variables are you considering that you conclude the Cowboys are on par with the Texans such that they could win a game against them?

Why would they do that?
I pray brother we loose out but as bad as we looked against Philadelphia if Zeke does not fumble the football we lead at the half. I just don’t think we have a bottom 5 roster but the schedule is daunting.

I just think the Cowboys can win the game. Dallas played Detroit at full power without Michah. Houston which is injured themselves played a beat up Lions team. Loses like that are hard to come back from. Houston is a good team but are vulnerable. They lost to the Jets for heavens sake.

Houston is significantly better than the Eagles. And more motivated.

When healthy I agree but the Texans are injured. There offensive line is decimated as well as their receivers. I think they are also down their top pass rusher.

There is still half a season to play. Many of the losing team will play each other and someone has to win. The Cowboys play the Giants and Panthers. The Dolphins Jets and Patriots all have to play each others. Last year the Giants were 6-11 and picked 6th. I think the Cowboys will be drafting in the top 10 which is good enough for them to grab an impact player if they don't do something stupid.

I am more worried that this draft class may not be strong in the positions they need. But we'll see how the college season plays out too.
If there was ever a year to trade down and pick up a couple of other picks this could be it!
Of coarse value is going to change a lot between now and April but currently the positions I’d be interested in are a bit further down!

See Washington, Detroit, and Houston. They can turn the team around quickly if they land in the 1 or 2 spots. It gives them a lot of options.
I think it's hard to say where we'll land at season's end, all things considered. There are other teams that might be even worse than we are., as hard as that might be to believe. It'd be nice to get there but only time will tell.

If the Cowboys lose out they will be at the top. We are just 1.5 games behind in the race for number 1.

The only team I would give us a 50-50 chance against right now is Vegas. And we don't play them. I dont see another win on the schedule. None. Cleveland's defense is good enough to win them another game or 2. I think we pick in the top five at worst. Possibly top 3. And No.1 is not out of the question. Our offence is just that bad. And our D isn't good enough to hold teams to under 5 Aubrey FGs or score defensive Tds. That leaves us counting on special teams Tds. That's not a lot of hope. And the way things have went so far, I would expect more injuries happening to our roster.
Add to the fact that a ton of kids are going to stay in school now because of NIL and it becomes worse all around for the talent coming into the league!!!

The Boys need help at every position. Just take the best player available with each pick.
But that concept is foreign to "No Super Bowl in 30 years Jerruh"
