What was your expectations for the year?

[Cowboyny]

Take out all the emotion and homerism, what was your realistic expectations for this team at the start of the season?

If everything worked out right, my top expectation was playing in the conference championship. That goal is very much still attainable.

Are they legitimate Super Bowl contenders? No, they have to fix their rushing offense, be better stopping the run and improve greatly with All these penalties.

With Dak at QB i always except one and done so we are on track

 

[Tabascocat]

12-5 with playoffs TBD based on seeding. Looking like another divisional round loss is imminent. They can’t win on the road without a good run game, NFCS not withstanding.

 

[TequilaCowboy]

Right on track actually...win about 12 games, get into the playoffs and MIGHT luck out against a more inferior team and win one and then lose. So this is on script. Wait for next year. rinse, lather, repeat.

 

[MoistMayonnaise]

I thought 9-8, maybe a game better and first round playoff exit.

 

[mldardy]

Division title and a NFCCG appearance or better.

Outside of the 49ers, every team is beatable, it wouldn’t surprise me to see upsets in the wild card round, where we won’t have to face the 49ers until the championship round

 

[mmohican29]

I said 11-6 with a repeat Divisional Rd. exit.

Team isn't good enough to get further. End of story.

Lack of running game is the big issue

 

[Hagman]

I predicted 10-7, wildcard, plus the usual first round playoff exit. Unless we lucked into another losing team like TB last year, in that case we’d have a second round exit.
I’m sticking with that.

In order to get to the conference championship game they will need to beat SF in SF, making that game isn’t attainable

Man, we will be doing good to beat the nfc south patsy.
After that , we are getting crushed.
This team is too soft mentally and physically to beat good teams on the road.

Not true, 49ers will play the worst seed in rd 2. Eagles/Lions could certainly get upset against a team like the Rams

#6

 

[JonesBoys]

NFC championship game with the roster they have but we know how this going to end again. I was an idiot for taking the cheese. Nothing has changed nor will it in the off season. It’s like groundhog day every year. Just have to laugh and except as a cowboys fan I may never see an NFC championship game let alone a Super Bowl.

 

[plymkr]

My realistic expectations was 9-7, 10-6, 2nd place in the NFC East and a WC win. Followed by a soul crushing loss in the divisional round.

Exactly. No one knows what is going to happen in the playoffs. We all think SF is just going to steamroll every body but the playoffs in all sports are just different. I've seen it too many times to just make the assumption on anything.

 

[morat1959]

None…I stop believing in this team 20 years ago.

 

[Jipper]

More than this

The thread isn’t about him. Some of you just can’t stop.
