CZ POLL **** Predict the Season Record for the 2026 Cowboys ***

[Reality]

All those people predicted a tie last year? Wow, maybe the games ARE rigged and these people are the insiders who get the scoop. I wanna be in the know too! I promise I won't use my knowledge to bet on the games and make a lot of money. I promise.

From the first post ...

"In the event the Cowboys tie in an odd number of games, the wins will be rounded down and the losses rounded up. If they tie in an even number of games, the records will count as they are."​

I’m shocked at how many people think they’re gonna have a bad record.

All 6 of them?

 

[SlammedZero]

11-6 for me.

We know they have a capable offense with some playmakers, aside from the question marks at tackle.

The defense is what really let us down last year, and that should be improved. I'd like to think we could have won a few more games last season with a capable defense, because they were anything but. The defense doesn't have to be elite this year. If they can just be competent and make a few stops when they need to, I think that changes the outcome of several games.

Obviously there are still some question marks, but I think 11-6 is a realistic expectation.

Should be an interesting season...but I'm ready.

12 - 5
I truly believe this team has everything it needs to have a special season. In other words I believe this is our window right now , this season.

Another lolipop.

 

[diamonddelts]

15-2.

This guy never learns. Every season it's the same schtick.

Get to the NFC Championship Game.

Not a chance in hell with Dak at the helm.

Not a chance in hell with Dak at the helm.

We’ll see.

Just don’t come looking for a seat on the bandwagon later on.

 

[Pompey-Cowboy]

Bad season, 9 wins.
Good season, 11 wins.
Average is as average does.

 

[diamonddelts]

We’ll see.

Just don’t come looking for a seat on the bandwagon later on.

Don't let ten years of "I told you so" stop that line of thinking.

First year defensive coordinator, 8 new coaches, 80 percent of the players on defense are new. Hard schedule, trip to Brazil will be brutal. People need to get their expectations under control. 8 wins will be a good season

 

[DoctorChicken]

11-6. Winning most games we should, winning a few games we shouldn’t, losing a few games we shouldn’t. I can see the games against the Ravens, Texans, 49ers, Seahawks, and Rams going either way.

 

[ArtClink]

The great off-season we had begs the question, what if the Jones boys had done this the past three seasons AND gave full power to our hc, the same power the other 31 NFL head coaches have? We would be in great shape right now, and my optimism would be a lot higher. As it stands, I love the off-season we had but I lack confidence in the Jones boys and their ability to add quality backups to our roster. The quality of our backups is critical since some of them will inevitably have to play this year.

I predicted 8-9 because there’s a lot of things that remain broken at the foundation of this franchise.

Too much talent on offense not to contend for the division. Like what I see from the coaches and new direction they're taking. Not to sure about the defense, especially the secondary. But we've got some studs if they play up to expectations. I don't know if they will. I guess I'm too jaded.
10-7

8 wins wouldnt be suprising but for sure wouldnt be a good season...they've only had 7 good seasons in 30 about to be 31 seasons . They'd have to be a quite a bit better than last year to get to 8-10 wins

 

[StarBoyz83]

Let's see, we were 7-9-1, completely rebuilt the D w/ tons of talent, and people are picking 8 or 9 wins? Bad analyzation.

Is a lot of new pieces to make work in onw season. Also the schedule was very very easy last year. They'd have to be quite a bit better this year to get to 8-10 wins imo. Its a building year imo.

Bad analization is the same crap people say every offseason. Oh they improved this or that thats 2-3 more wins that doesn't make any sense at all lol. Its not the same season again! Lol

 

[Pipelayer72]

16-1 with the only loss to the Cardinals

 

[Pipelayer72]

12-5

Win the division.

Get to the NFC Championship Game.

Anyone other than the Rams and I like our chances, but if it’s them? That’s gonna be a tough one. I only hope that the defense has fully hit its stride by then.

Almost exactly what I'm predicting. I say 13-4 and the NFC Championship. Gonna be a fun season.

 

[plasticman]

I'm saying the Cowboys go 10-7 but I will also insert this irony:

The Cowboys will make it to the NFC championship game.

Then you're not doing a good job of paying attention to whom you're replying. Weak stuff, just putting everyone under a label because you don't have any idea what you're talking about.
