Our schedule this year is easier.
Easier? The worst AFC East Team, New England, would have won the AFC South last year. The south winner won 9 games, and the other 3 teams are drafting in the top 11. That’s 4 dramatically harder games 2022.

Then it’s 2022 NFC West vs 2021 NFC North. 49ers are worlds better than the Vikings. Seahawks are better than the packers, 2022 Rams vs 2021 Lions is iffy depending on how the Rams defense looks this year, as the lions didn’t have one.

But the Lions will be much improved this year, making their 2022 appearance on your schedule more difficult than the 2021 Rams were. 2022 Chargers aren’t as good as the 2021 bengals, but the difference isn’t nearly as dramatic as the aforementioned Rams-Lion.

It is a significantly more difficult schedule.

My bad. I thought I had read that the Cowboys had the 28th hardest strength of schedule in 2023. Im seeing where its the 3rd hardest. last year was 10th hardest. So harder, but not much.

Regardless. Any notion of 9-8 is ridiculous without big injuries.

I got 13-4 as well, if and only if McCarthy does what he claims with the way we want our identity to be.

Don’t think we can win big with him trying to be an air it out playcaller. We’d still be a possible playoff team but more due to the conference.

Another doom and gloomer. We went 12-5 and dak was out for 5 games.
better team this year. 12 wins at least.
I know that was for someone else, but Fyi, Roy, the missing Dak part had no impact (record-wise). 4-1

Exactly. It means even without our best QB, we still went 4-1. What part are you having trouble understanding? This is about how good the team is.

I didn't say anything about understanding anything. You brought up the fact we were missing our QB and still won 12 and I just politely noted it ended up having little to do with our won-loss record. It was meaningless to the conversation, in the end.

You always come across as so confrontational and angry
Grow the hell up

Chargers….the ghost of Kellen and the skill of Herbert could make for a long day

Just tired of the Dak trolls. Everything is turned into a Dak hate thread. Seemed like another example.

yes Roy is a dak fan, so he ignores what rush did.
It actually had a lot to do with the 12-5, rush was 4-1 dak was 8-4. If dak doesnt get hurt there is no guarantee they win the 4 games rush won.
Rush won 4 wins in a row, dak had 4 in a row. And IMO dak would have lost the 1st phil game ant at least one of the others, leading to a 11-6 record.

You always come across as so confrontational and angry......lol thats roy, he is the guy with crystal ball and knows all about the cowboys and football.
He deals in absolutes that come from how he sees things, which is pretty simple minded.
Like last year they won 12 so since they added 2 guys to the team they will now win 12 or more again !!! Screw all the variables ! lol

This is about how good the team is.
not really, this thread was about predicting the win loss record, and good teams often lose games they should have won.
Example is dallas losing to SF, that was a game they should have won but didnt. and that is something you cant see when you look
at a list of teams dallas will play.
Dallas lost to wash badly in the last game, how do you explain that? Lost to the jags, no one would have predicted that game as a loss.

Nope its about how good the team will be next year. Run along.

We go 13-4 and make the NFC Championship game for the first time in almost 3 decades. Go Pollard!

What may seem hard now might be easier later and vice versa.....just play the teams in front of you...
