Calling TE "weak" is a little much.6-10
we brought in a slightly worse than average DC to replace our horrible DC
we're weak at TE
we had problems all along the OL. unlike wine players dont improve with age
Zeke has been going through the motions since he signed the contract.
Dak is coming off an injury and has his money. We have no backup QB if he goes down again
we have lot of new players in secondary
Dlaw has 6.5 and 5 sacks last 2 years-this year wont be any better if Smith is gone.
we still have a massive hole at DT
LB's- Lee may be gone, who knows with LVE
only positives I see is WR and we are in NFC east. I do not see this as a 10 win team. 6-8 wins
A better product on the fieldMy minimum can't be expressed just in a record. I want to see a defense improved to at least league average, around spot #16 or so. Then their record needs to be non-losing at 8 and 8 or 9 and 7. Asking for more than that would be asking a lot.
Well if they draft some good players, that is possible but unlikely. Starters for dallas dont get replaced easily, jerry likes his guys, andWe sure as **** better get more than 1 or 2 starters given our drafting slot and comp picks.
Boy, what a shocker!!
That is a good expectation, I will add that to mine as well.Show an ability to beat .500 or above teams outside of the division.
Let's say 2 wins over 2 decent teams with average to above defenses.
I see no reason why we can’t take it to the second round of the playoffs. That’s my expectationsOk I know it is early, but I figure the draft will only give team 1 or 2 starters at most.
So what is the minimum season record you would accept as a step forward over last season?
I will say 10-7 , that would be a distinct improvement over last season.
Anything less I would have to consider a failure by coaches , FO , and players, and Dak.
Now 10-7 may get team into playoffs, and it may not, so I am not going to say they have to make playoffs,
but I do sort of expect that they should .
The thing is winning the division may be the only way a east team gets in playoffs, but one of the east teams
may have a good season, and do better than 10-7. You cant count on them being as bad as last season.

NFCE GAMES 4-2
17th game 0-1 by this would put them at 10-7 , if 16 games then 10-6
Dallas would have to be real good team to do better than 10 wins.
I gave a loss on the last game as people here are saying it would be NE, and dallas has
always done poorly in the last game of season.
But that could be another win just as easily, if they are improved, so I could see 11 wins too.
So I will change that to 10 or 11 wins as my minimum expectation.
Anything over that would be more than I expect
And on further thought, I think making the playoffs , as WC or div champ has to be included, unless
one of the other east teams just has a great season, and dallas doesnt get in as WC.
10-11 wins should get dallas in as a WC though?
I think he was being sarcastic?Well, considering any logical person realizes that the draft has yet to take place and the season does not start for another 5 months or so why would you be shocked?
that is what I am counting on, is a avg defense instead of a awful defense.A better product on the field
If we do that the record will take care of itself
If our defense can be avg we will having a winning record
