This is my post from before the season started.
I'd like to post a scenario of how I feel the remainder of the Cowboys season will go...
They will beat the Rams next week in very underwhelming fashion and then lose to San Diego putting them at a mediocre 2-2. Over the next 5 games, they will go 2-3, including a massacre at the hands of Denver.
At that point, they're 4-5 and the butt of ESPN and every other sports outlet's criticism. Week 10 comes along against a surging Saints team, a game that no one gives them a chance in, and they beat the Saints resulting in more "the Cowboys are for real" talk among the same analysts who wrote them off a week ago. They build off of the Saints victory with two more victories against the Giants, and the Raiders on Thanksgiving (which will be decided on a last second field goal).
Cowboys are now 7-5 and right at the top of the NFC East.
The Cowboys are on a roll, they just beat a very good Saints team and put two gritty victories together against the Giants and Raiders. Everyone says that this is finally the year that the Cowboys live up to their potential (just like last year, and the year before).
Next up are the Bears, Packers and Commanders for weeks 14, 15, and 16. The Cowboys, with their new found confidence and momentum, naturally go on to lose to the Bears and Packers. They narrowly escape a Commanders team in week 16, placing them at 8-7 in a "win and they're in" scenario for week 17 against Philly (who also can claim a playoff spot with a win)
Philly wins the game in either two ways; a repeat of the 44-6 *** whopping that they gave Dallas in 2008, or on a Desean Jackson bomb towards the end of the 4th quarter where Dallas' defense can't make a stop...
The Eagles are in the playoffs, Dallas is once again 8-8 and watching the playoffs from their ******* couch; ripping out the hearts of Dallas fans everywhere...
We've all seen this before... Deja vu.
