Over/Under on wins this season has Cowboys at 8.5

A back that won't run the 40. So by your standards, he's going to way outshine Dowdle and get 6 ypc, that's how drastic it would need to be, my guess he won't eclipse 5, meanwhile outside of lamb we have a bottom 5 wr group, possibly the worst. Dak can't elevate talent either.

we dont have to worry because it appears like we would have to trade ahead of the raiders to get the guy.
 
I'll take the under. They won 7 last year and they look like the same team with a tougher schedule.

And most of those players many fans on here wanted gone. Said they suck. So they are replaced by players of equal skills. Though fans will not accept that since they do not like any anyway.

Fair enough Jazz.
We have room for all opinions here!
It keeps this place interesting.
We are all not drones here, lol

btw, I was not one of those posters who thought that all the players that left, sucked.
Thought we lost some real good starters and depth.

Yes we have. But so did all teams. However, fans on here only apply that to Dallas. As we all know why they do as well.

So all teams have a better FO. The draft order showed otherwise, as 11 teams pick before Dallas.
I mean, want to rationalize something, this makes the best sense.

The chance of getting 1 immediate impact player in the draft is not 100%. Even if the first rounder does immediately improve a position group, which it may very well, the chances of further immediate improvement from the downstream draft picks get slimmer and slimmer.

Then there is the very real "rookie wall" to contend with.

I can empathize with the desire to find hope in the only thing available to find hope in, but the reality of replacing the gone 12-5 guys in this years draft and duplicating those seasons seems like a real longshot.

Not for nothing. Those seasons were as much a product of being the top or top 3 defense in takaways as anything else. That itself is going to be a big challenge to pull off again.

Replacing the 12-5 guys, yes it will take some luck.
But many of those 12-5 guys fans wanted gone anyway. I will wait to see how they change things with the new coaching staff. Though none of us should expect miracles. I can admit that for sure.

But it is something to look forward to, see how they improve over the next few years. Just as we watched how they grew with Jimmy. No, not saying it is the same. But it gives fans something to look forward to if they open up their minds, and not stay in gloom and doom mode all the time.
 
Honestly that seems about right looking at the opponents. Giants x2, Jets, Panthers, and Raiders are just teams playing for the 2026 draft so that's 5. The NFC North is a tough matchup but honestly I do not know what to make of the Bears or Packers as I think they are both teams in exactly the same spot as the Cowboys right now, though all 3 got to that spot from different trajectories. So lets 1-3 against the NFC North. Also for the other 4 division opponents lets say 1-3 for that because Cowboys always play division games tight.

That leads you to the other 3 in the AFC West. Chiefs are an obvious loss and a split between Broncos and Chargers makes sense as again they are both in about the same spot as the Cowboys. So 3-3 in the division, 2-2 against the AFC West, 1-3 against NFC North, and a win against the Jets gets you to 8-8. That means the game against the Cardinals, which again I have as a 50-50 because it depends on when you face the Cardinals, to determine whether they cover or not. Not touching that line because it seems too accurate.
