Might not be now, but I know what your saying.Browns and Bills don't scare me and Titans are 1 dimensional until proven otherwise.

If and when they get to playoffs again, they have to play teams outside the div! the good teams lol outside the div.
they need 6-8 wins outside the div to be a good team.
Now look at the schedule and tell me which 6-8 teams they will beat outside the div lol.
Dallas can count on 3 maybe 4 div wins, but the most would be 6.
6+6 = 12 wins. 4+6= 10 wins
So aside from div games, do you see 6 wins?
If they cant win outside the div, they either wont make playoffs, or they will be one and done.

I see 6-7 potential wins, outside div, but not sure they can do it. Big maybe.
I would certainly say the schedule at least very manageable. Only 2 games look to be against teams the Cowboys won’t be expected to compete with.What is so tough about the schedule? I am seeing a relatively easy schedule.

Hater! Oh, I'm sorry...you all like to be called realist. I didn't see anything wrong with the post until you put LOL.....making fun of your team? GTFOHIf and when they get to playoffs again, they have to play teams outside the div! the good teams lol outside the div.

It's really hard to answer the question
As how good of a defense are we talking?
Realistically we might go from awful to average
What rank would you say dAllas new defense will finish the season as
The only non-divisional game where I don’t see much of a chance is at Kansas City. And yes, I think we have a good chance of beating the Bucs on opening night.
btw I have Raider tickets for our Turkey day game. I hope we win. It will be my very first Dallas game. I been a fan since age 5 and I am 50 ish now lol. My Army kid just surprised me with them.I think we beat the following outside the division teams in no particular order:
Chargers - should be able to beat them
Panthers - fairly easy opponent for us
Patriots - not sure about this one, but if Cam is starting, I think we will win.
Vikings - not worried about them
Broncos - not worried about them
Falcons - not worried about them
Raiders - easy
Saints - will be hard, but with no Brees, I think we win
Cardinals - I think we will be able to stop Murray better. Plus he gave us bulletin board material recently.
I also think we might beat the Bucs. I'm not confident about that, but I think our defence that is being built will cause issues for Brady because it will be hard for them to prepare for since they don't know what to expect.
The only outside the division team that I think we won't beat is the Chiefs. However, between them and the Bucs and we'll probably split with the WFT and Eagles as usual, I see 13-4.
You got it !Im good with a step in the right direction, and considering that we are at the bottom of the hill it better be a step up or the equipment manager will need to pack some shovels for game day.
TrueMediocre is the word I'd use. They might not outright cost us games like they did last year but they won't really win us any games either. With our top 3-5 offense, they just need to not be terrible.
Can see what you are saying.Very true. That is the question. How good?
With Dalton and a bad D we won 6 games in a bad NFC East. With Just Dak alone I see about a 4 wins improvement so that gets us to 9 or 10. If the defense can go from bad to average then 11 games would be the low end all the way up to 14 wins.

CZ poster Hadenough said in another post and I'm paraphrasing "Every year I predict the Cowboys will beat the poor teams and lose to the good and for the most part I'm right."
I continue to be of that mindset as well.
It’s the NFL. Every game will be a war. I’ve been watching NFL games for 57 years. If there’s anything that’s clear it’s this: We can beat anyone- and lose to anyone as well. And none of us know which it will be.I think we beat the following outside the division teams in no particular order:
Chargers - should be able to beat them
Panthers - fairly easy opponent for us
Patriots - not sure about this one, but if Cam is starting, I think we will win.
