Shoot Your Shot: Is This The Year?

[Rockport]

With every post you continue to confirm that you know zippo about football.

He’s got the Troll thing nailed for sure.

Don't see it this year.
Don't feel this team has the IT factor.
They can't figure out how to win in the post season.
Until they do, rinse and repeat.

It must suck to be so miserable about the Cowboys.

We are officially one week from watching a Cowboys game! I am more hyped about this year’s team than any team I can remember beyond 1995. Part of that is our roster, and part of that is the lack of NFC rosters around us.

If you had to bet today, how far you think this team goes (assuming no injuries)?

I’m saying MINIMUM NFC Championship!

NOTE: If you are currently responding with ‘we need to wait and see…’ or ‘You can’t assume no injuries….’, pop a cold one, let that hair down, get out of your own head, and burp up an answer!

It’s time for football! Go Cowboys!!

I'll call that bet but I won't raise!! This should be the best chance for a big dance appearance in 30 years. BUT I'm still tempering my excitement because I've been disappointed for 30 years, and will continue to look forward to the Game Day Menu threads. If they jump the shark, then I'll still have fun laughing at the Jones bogans and reading about new recipes on here!

Not miserable, rocky , looking forward to the season.
I was just answering the OP with an honest explanation.
Until this team proves they can win in the post season, I think it's a fair assessment.

If you feel differently, I respect that.

 

[charron]

It should be but I haven't seen how this team performs yet

People who give up easily go against my grain.

Cowboys will continue to befuddle their fan base with their inconsistent play; showing tempting glimpses of potential at times, then explicably go out and roll over for a weaker team. The Cowboys will peak in week 7-8…then enter their annual mid-to-late season slow decline just in time for post-season play. But no mind, Jerry shall consider the season a success and will find moral victories everywhere he looks…

I hear you....
I have been rooting for the Cowboys
To be successful for 48 years...
Now, that does not mean I always expect them to.

I get that.

What would you have to see in the regular season to let you hope for more? I don’t think it’s fair to expect Dak to take any more steps. For me, it’s seeing a defense that’s so dominant, they can basically win playoff games for you without needing a stellar offense. Right now I half believe that defense might exist if health isn’t a major issue

That would install hope!
85 bears were that way.

I mean...yes, I feel the same way. Cowboys fan since '78 but JJ and his jackhole son have kind of crapped all over this organization so much the stink just won't rinse off at this point. Just talking about it in the kicker thread. What kind of team that considers itself a contender can't shore up the kicking game by August? As someone accurately pointed out in that thread, kicking can win/lose you about 3 games per year. Buncha clowns.

The way they are handling the kicker situation shows our front office doesn’t know how to be professionals.
This is an amateur way to handle it.

I really don't know about the running game. And I still have questions about Dak.
But every year I say, "Don't get optimistic, Tykester. Don't get your hopes up high."
And every year (well, most) I drink the juice.
But I like this defense. And with Brady, Brees and Rogers gone, there's not a quarterback left that strike fear in the hearts of Quinn's charges.
I say we FINALLY make it to the NFC Championship Game.

NFC Championship. If not, fire Dak immediately.
