Trying to be optimistic if Dallas wins 2 of last 3 they finish 8-8-1

It's insane that we have fans still rooting against draft postion at this point.

Ya'll are more like Jerry than you think.

You root for loses i won’t

You root for loses i won’t

You're such a real fan.

The only thing Dallas can accomplish by this is damaging their pick in 4 months.

What would be more optimistic would be us losing out and getting a better draft pick.

Winning 2 of 3 to finish 8-8-1 as some bizarre comparison to 7-10 last year is silly to me because there is zero gained by that improvement in record. What would be a "gain" for us would be getting the best draft position possible.

You assume the people picking will do the smart thing and get the better pick . Too many instances where that hasn’t played out . Yeah 8-8-1 does seem better then the 10 losses posted last season. Although with Prescott playing all these games this year to finish with 8 wins is an indictment on the entire franchise top to bottom

.500 ball?

Jason Garrett approves.

LOL, don’t know why anyone would find that record great. Garrett got kicked to the curb because.500 ball was not acceptable. Neither should it be for BS.

We need to find new teams?

"You guys need to find a new team, if you don't like the same ole, same ole." *wipes tears from face*

Look if you’re saying a change at ownership and GM is needed sure but that’s a pipe dream . Stephen takes over soon it’s a family business like the Corleones were in the Olive Oil bidness , Genco was the name as I recall . I live in reality the Jones family ain’t leaving Dodge City

I'm not saying that as he is on record saying they are never selling the cowboys. I'm just saying, I'm here for football, I stopped caring a long time ago if the cowboys win or lose and they are just another team I watch out of interest.

I think I get more entertainment watching the cyclical nature of this forum rinse and repeat every year with the same type of hope and Dory the goldfish memory.

Other teams have this same cycle as well but the owners are actually trying to win a SB and not only grow their ego and franchise value.

.500 ball?

Jason Garrett approves.

But is that hanging around the rim enough for Jerry?

From a historical standpoint, an 8-8-1 or 9-7-1 finish avoids consecutive losing seasons for the Cowboys since the three straight 5-11 years of 2000-02.

yeah....i am rooting for young guys to show promise and to get reps to help them be better for next year. If they started half their backups and happened to win a game because they played well and got great experience, i don't know that I would be upset.

However, playing starters, trying to win, when there is zero to play for silly - but its what they are going to do and say they are "committed to winning no matter what"....


What I dont want to see, are bad bad injuries at this point that make people unavailable in August - thats been something that has hurt us in the past few years. Just look at Micha, his 2026 is at least half shot, he wont be effective until November given the timing on the injury.

Actually 8-8-1 with this crappy D is not shabby.

 

[Asklesko]

Sad that fans are hyped for meaningless games in december

Ok.

We actually had a few solid wins. But as things go every December, games get harder. Your imperfections get exploited. It's up to us as a team to adjust,plan. We don't do that if at all.

 

[America's Cowboy]

Better to play well.

Why brother? How does that help the team?

Playing badly doesn't help them.

You know we’re a beat down fanbase when .500 is considered okay.
