What are your expectations now?

I think it is safe to say that nobody on this board or even on this planet ever seriously predicted Dallas would be 11-1 right now. In fact, if you look at the preseason prediction thread a lot of posters either didn't have us making the playoffs at all or if we did it was like a 9 to 10 win season max.

So with that being said, what is your expectations now and what will you consider a successful season? Is it SuperBowl or bust, making it to the NFC Championship Game even if we lose, or will just winning a single playoff game be considered a positive outcome to this season?

Personally, I think the team has to atleast make it to the NFC Championship Game. If a team starts the season 11-1 and doesn't even make it to the NFCCG, that is called a choke job. If we lose a hard fought NFC title game to Seattle, I will be disappointed of course, but I think we all would have signed up for that at the beginning of the season.

Making it to the SuperBowl would be a dream, even if we lost to the Patriots. Winning the SuperBowl would be beyond words, my heart probably couldn't take it but at least I would go out with a smile on my face:D

Expected 12-0.....only because I refuse to accept that we are beatable. Every year I pick us to go 16-0, 3-0 in post season, and SB champs....it's been rough lately.

From here, we finish what we started. We seal the deal. We win out, rest, then win our next 3 games, and celebrate in style.
 
We look like the best in the NFC by a mile.


At the very least we should get to the NFC championship game.

1 and done is just not acceptable.
 
Honestly, my only expectations for this year's team is for them to keep battling as hard and courageously as they have all year, regardless of the outcome. Sure, I'd like nothing better than to see them go "all the way" to winning the Super Bowl but in the grand scheme of things, It requires a huge amount of hard work and good luck before any team can reach the pinnacle that they all so crave. Just keep up the good work, C'Boys! :)

I expect them to win 'em all. We hit the wall the past two games and managed to win them both. With the rest (mini-bye) and getting some guys back we should go on a tear to finish the season. Heck, Tony might even get to play in a meaningless game to end the season.
 
My expectations before Romo got injured? Pick up where we left off in 2014. Even last year we were 3-1 in games Romo started. So naturally, I felt like we could be 12-4 again or even 13-3 this year. Why? When we drafted Zeke, with the same OL in place, and a healthy Dez (remember he was hurt last year) we should pick up where we left off in 2014. I felt Zeke could bring the same juice that Murray did. So far he has.

My expectations now are SB or bust. This team has overcome so much and is still perched on top of the NFL standings. The way we have been playing at home, it feels like a true HCA at AT&T. I honestly don't see any NFC team coming in our stadium and beating us this year. Houston, here we come!

Seattle says hello and Atlanta averages over 32 points per game. Records don't mean a thing once the playoffs start.
 
First round bye. Leaning toward losing in divisional round because of the QB and defense.
 
They have exceeded all expectations so far. I say great season already even if they fail to get to or win the SB. Many good games and enjoyment. Its the NFL; even great teams dont win the SB. (Kansas City, Denver, NE, Atlanta,NY Giants, Seattle) there can only be 1 SB winner and you cant put the label failure or losers on any of those teams this year.
 
Super bowl.

We can do it. The defense has weaknesses but they can compete.
 
i think when you get opportunities to get to go to the play offs you need to win all the way to the superbowl because with this nfl you just don't know what next year will bring.
 
I expect a Super Bowl every year. That's what teams play for.
 
Home field advantage
First round bye
One playoff win
Play well in the NFC championship, W or Lose

That's my minimum expectation at this point, but it won't be easy with the #1 seed as it will likely mean a third game vs Skins or Giants. The #2 seed will have an easier route through NFC north, most likely.
 
expecting a

first round bye
facing the Lions (win),
then the Seahawks (toss-up),
then the Chiefs/Raiders/Patriots in the Superbowl (toss up)
 
SB or bust. You can't win 11 in a row and think differently. NFC Title game is just winning one freaking playoff game so that should be a given. We lose in the divisional round however and I go Elway and fire the HC.
