Which Game Will Be The Litmus Test For The Cowboys In 2017?

[waving monkey]

With the offseason minicamp officially in the rearview mirror, it’s time to look forward as far as the Dallas Cowboys are concerned. This season is one built around supremely high expectations, and it’s going to be interesting to see how much America’s Team can live up to them.


There are a lot of ebbs and flows to an NFL season. You’ve got a hodgepodge of hype, disappointment, thrills, statements, proclamations, letdowns, game-winners, and a occasionally a quarterback situation that defines perhaps the most storied franchise in the game’s history. Standard stuff.

When thinking about the season we imagine various scenarios, but they depend on the most important thing in sports - winning. We want the Cowboys to win (shocker I know) and we want them to win all the time.

While winning is who we hope to be, the truth of an NFL season is something Mrs. Gump called long ago. We have no idea what we’re going to get, but there’s usually a time of year where we can sort of figure it out.

Which Game Will Be The Litmus Test For The Cowboys in 2017?

If we use the zone as the barometer, it'll be Week 4 in the preseason when a bunch of guys who won't be in the league in 4 hours are playing.

Aside from game one vs NY, week 10 at Atlanta is it for me!

At least thew first 4 games against our division, maybe Raiders, Broncos, and KC.

 

[benson]

Probably the inevitable first round playoff loss to a chinstrapless Aaron Rodgers

 

[Hardline]

The game that's next on the schedule.

Expectations are high... as they should be.

The divisional round playoff game is the litmus test.

 

[TwoDeep3]

NFC Championship game.

I hate that first game against the Giants. Could put the club in a hole to start the season.

Any game day that reads JANUARY at the top of the calendar.

If the giants offense is still weak and they can't beat them again they're in trouble.

If the Giants beat us 2x this year, I'll be depressed. That means having a good Dline and spending money on it far outweighs spending money on an Oline. They have basically done the opposite of what we have done.

• They brought in big name defensive free agents and we have attempted to build through the draft.
• They invested heavily in the Dline and we spend on the Oline

It's time to see what philosophy is better! Go cowboys

NFC Championship game.

They have to earn the right to be in that game first.
I don't think they have to be the 1st seed. 2nd seed will be acceptable.
But they absolutely must win that divisional playoff game....
The bar rises once that is achieved... after that, I'm with ya... and after that, SB Trophy.
Hopefully, they reach each goal this year.

 

[Doomsay]

Divisional

 

[Zimmy Lives]

NFC Championship game.

This. Games will be won or lost during the season; the true test of worthiness would be the Championship game.
