The so-called experts love to say the Cowboys could easily be 0-3

The Cowboys have played 180 minutes of football.

They've been ahead for 13 minutes.

They should be 0-3. Atlanta is the most generous team in football.

Things haven't changed around here, just the quarterback and the Coach. I think the problem is that a lot of the fans around here haven't been watching since an era when the cowboys would dominate opponents. They just don't know what it means. To them the cowboys are a playoff worthy team because they are hanging in there versus they are dominating opponents.

I hear what you're saying, but the underlying theme is still there....

They win a crappy division. Decent shot to win first round because it's a home game, but they will lose by three scores in the divisional round.

This team is nowhere near good enough to compete against the better teams in the league, and it rarely is.
I feel like they competed with one of the best teams in the league last week.

If you'd watch the games, you too could argue the same.

Yes, and despite our injury problems, new coach and scheme, and very little prep time, we’re also a handful of fluke plays away from 3-0!

Glass half empty, glass half full.

and some people get drunk off of half a glass around here obviously.

If you been here long enough, you know the cowboys lose a lot of close games, and all this they can be easily 3-0 stuff just doesn't fit when we have a history of being inconsistent. We've seen enough of the Cowboys this season to know that at the moment they are not a playoff team.
Not at the moment, but hope springs eternal.

Lakers and Cowboys are the most popular teams in both sports and considering this COVID-era, it only makes ‘sense’ the experts would keep talking about these topics. Many ‘experts’ before the season that were talking about football, spent their days saying Dak was robbed in free agency and that Dallas is a contender to win the SB...

It you were a conspiracy theorist, the fact that Anthony Davis got that wide open on game 2 to take the final shot, with Plumlee’s awful defense makes plenty of sense...

The so called experts love to say “The Cowboys could easily be 0-3, but they rarely say they could easily be 3-0. Why is that? How can they be taken seriously when their topics are always the same 4 or 5 topics?

Brady’s the GOAT
Lebron’s the GOAT
The most current trendy sports drama
Non sports crap
Dallas sucks

Rinse, repeat!

The Cowboys should be 0-3. They’ve been behind in every game, digging themselves some deep holes and have only had a lead for 13 minutes in all three games combined. The Cowboys were down by 20 points to Atlanta and it took a minor miracle to pull that game out and they were down by 15 to Seattle. The Cowboys are a mediocre team that are being carried by their QB who’s having to air it out playing from behind every week.

I agree, we beat ourselves in those 2 games. We limit the mistakes and most of the penalties and we win nicely

The Cowboys were anointed as being a Super Bowl contender heading into the season and haven’t lived up to the hype. The team continues to disappoint and some are souring on them. What the heck do some of you expect with the team sitting at 1-2? The secondary has been an embarrassment. The experts know a heck of a lot more than the idiots here who keep making excuses for the team.

Hi Sweet cheeks. Been missing your humor. ;)
If you been here long enough, you know the cowboys lose a lot of close games, and all this they can be easily 3-0 stuff just doesn't fit when we have a history of being inconsistent. We've seen enough of the Cowboys this season to know that at the moment they are not a playoff team.
For starters, that "history of being inconsistent" was a decade w/Garrett which has absolutely nothing to do with Dallas' new coaching staff.

Secondly, the new coaching staff was ripped off by not having preseason to see who to place where. They barely know their players let alone repair a dismantled team left by Garrett.

These first 3 games were preseason for Dallas coaches. Winning one game & having two close losses vs winning teams tells us, the fans, the new coaching staff is going to be lights out very shortly. Why do you think Dallas' offense is currently ranked #1?! If that doesn't show/prove this team is going to the playoffs, nothing will!

I deal with reality and yes, we could’ve easily won both of those games despite playing sloppy football. It’s a fact. You can ignore it if you do desire, but it’s still a fact.

Again, no one is saying we couldn't have won those games if we hadn't played sloppy. That's not the point. In order to get a win in those two losses, we aren't talking about one play here that would have changed the outcome. Multiple things had to change in order to get the win. In both losses, even if we could have tied it in regulation, we still would have had to play an OT period. How do you know we would have won both games in OT? You don't.

But we do know that we are one play away from losing that Falcons game. So one play from 0-3................. a bunch of plays from 3-0. How is it you guys struggle with this?

The only thing the Cowboys have been good at this season besides putting up big passing yards playing from behind is digging themselves deep holes. It doesn’t matter who’s coaching this team it’s the same crap every year. Every off-season fans get all worked up over the defense thinking it’s going to be a top five unit but it continues to get us beat. If Cleveland ends up road grading us on Sunday with their two headed monster attack there won’t be anyone on here complaining about what the experts think of the team.

It’s almost like the Cowboys mission this season is to see how big of a deficit Dak can come back from. It’s like our game plan every week is to dig a deep hole early and see if Dak can bail us out to see if he’s worthy of a big contract. :laugh:

They SHOULD be 0-3? Are you disappointed they’re not? I know you’re just “keepin’ it real”, so why torture yourself? Why even bother? If we’re so mediocre, and 2020 is just another 8-8, why not turn to another hobby?

If Gallup doesn’t get called for PI then we could have won

if the defense couldve held vs seattle we win

we could be 3-0

however were 1-2 thats just right for the level of play weve seen
