Next 2 games are critical for Cowboys season

Yes, I know many fans want us to tank to elevate draft slots but Jethro won’t accept losing out. He will attempt to use our picks to try and save this season.
thats a myth

majority of us know, yuo could give Jerry 20 of the first 20 picks and he would screw it up.
 
The Jets are not very good. Fields is overdue for a significant injury. I don’t like the Jets’ chances this weekend.
we get 1 tie.

Cowboy Zone: NFL BETTER WATCH OUT, we re putting the league on notice.

Reality: What happened agains the Bears? Slow it down, tap the breaks. You know whos not a good team, very good team or a very average team? the Cowboys.

I think you’re taking the narrow view.
 
The Jets and Panthers are arguably our most winnable games this season albeit on the road.

We win both of these and 3-2-1 is looking like season is still on looking ahead to Bye .

And Wash isn’t looking quite as imposing without Daniels. Anyway I could see us winning 1 of those 3 remaining before Bye.

Who wouldn’t take 4-4-1 at the Bye?

I know . The schedule is brutal after the Bye and it could still collapse at anytime. But the longer we hover around .500 the longer we stay in the hunt or at least keep season interesting.

And hopefully keep Jethro from making any desperate trades trying to keep season from collapsing wasting those valuable draft picks.
with this defense, we are out of every game unless otherwise we get lucky and they somehow end up winning.

Yeah that's the scary part. No way to predict how JJ will respond or when.

If they lose to both, you'd hope he's see the light and accept the team for what it is and plan to regroup for next year. Yeah I know... won't happen, but it sounds good.
 
Very simple for the DC, Fields will try and use his legs all day long! Everyone watching can see our LB's will be out of position with their backs turned. See the loss to the Eagles with Hurts for further proof. Now, I know this and most of you know this so what will be done???
Yeah I was thinking the same thing. Who is going to be responsible for spying on Fields? Sanborn?? :facepalm:
 
For those saying the next 2 games are "winnable". Of course they are. But, remember, we have the 32nd ranked defense, so no game is a "gimme" in my opinion. I would like to beat the Jets since the last time we played them didn't end well.
 
We’ve learned nothing since getting humiliated by Da Bears.
 
of what?

the record?

how we got there?

What the owner wants?

that we have a new staff?

which narrow view are we looking at?
The Cowboys are playing well enough to defeat the New York Jets on Sunday. I’d agree it’s more a Jets issue than a Cowboys issue.
 
Cowboys Offense has been ordinary on the road. Can Dak show consistency? Can the Offense score over 20 points in a road game? Will the Cowboys play down to the Jets after playing up to the Packers? Can this Defense stop one of the Top running QBs in the league?

Lots of questions. Anything less tha 3-2-1 is on the way to a miracle or complete struggle.
 
These next two games are irrelevant.

The offense has done some nice things aside from going cold in the second half against the Eagles and Bears. But they can't get to the playoffs and win with this defense. This defense is the worst one they have had in a decade.

That's really the story of the season.

or, and im just winging this,

a new staff? possibly? i heard we hired new people. They didnt have a competitive team, they inherited a team that wasnt meant to win. Maybe, just maybe we give them some time? you know, call it what it is, a job.
 
Why are we stuck playing the damm Lions every year . When they were garbage under Matt Patricia they didn’t seem to be an every year event . I thought Dallas was NFCE why is the NFCN a prominent part of the yearly schedule ?

They’ll have plenty of time to collect their new job experience once the end of December comes around.

Whether the coaching staff is new or not the fact remains that this defense makes the team non contenders.
