How much success will you have with an average to below average coach? Bus driver quarterback is that going to get it done too?

 

[MojaveJT]

It never bodes well when we’re the favorites. I’d rather be the underdogs.

Has Jerry Jones built a legitimate playoff contender?

If we were 7-3 might be asking that... when you are 5-5, not usually the topic of conversation.

We have so little room to lose anymore. We have to go at least 4-2 and maybe 5-1 to get in.

Playoff contender? Sure. But that isn't what the ultimate goal is.

Super Bowl contender? Probably not.

 

[ShiningStar]

2 wins in a row for the first time all season, SUPER BOWL!!!!

 

[Tangle_Foot]

Not until he puts in the vision, quality materials and craftsmanship he put into building AT&T I'm going to have to say no.

4-2 should get us in, as long as we take care of the division games. Win those games and we could probably still lose to the saints and colts and get in.

A loss to the skins and it's all over. We would have to win the last five and that ain't happening.

The ridiculous overreaction stimulates debate$.

If one ignores Jerry, the team is still there....Hooooooah!

The ridiculous overreaction stimulates debate$.

Some refuse to publicly acknowledge the truth...but not all!

I dunno I don't think it's a ridiculous question at all...this team has a proven winning formula for post season success and we appear to be peaking towards the right time. Talent wise we've got enough, coaching may be a completely different matter. We are trending in the right direction at the right time.
If we get into the playoffs this team absolutely can win it all and I have no doubt about that. That actually happening though isn't likely because winning SB's isn't easy for anybody even teams who're good to great year in and year out. Even the greatest QBs to play the game can hardly win a SB unless you're name is Tom Brady. Everything has to align perfectly for a team to win a SB and there's no reason it can't be this team if we're in the playoffs.

Great coaching can win with Dak.

I'm not certain any QB can go to the Super Bowl with the combination of Garrett/Linehan.

Bwahahahahahahahahaha...is that you Marty McFly? Please tell us more about this “proven winning formula for post season success”.

We are the underdogs in intelligent circles.

Intelligent people understand that strange things do often occur. Murphy's Law in sport...but, usually destiny is earned.

Was wondering that myself... Thought maybe he was a fan of another team and logged into the wrong board or something.

I'm amazed at the continued doubt towards Dak, calling him a bus driver? I keep saying, the key to success for this team is the Oline's and Dline's performances. Dak is plenty of good (more than good enough), plus he's smart, a dual-threat and takes care of the football. Zeke is a beast. Cowboys finally have a true #1 WR. Need to go hard and move up in the 2nd round next year and draft Texas 6'5" WR #84 Lil' Jordan Humphries. Then hope Swaim, Schultz and Rico can take it up a notch or two at TE. Plus, with Gallup coming back as a 2nd year semi-starter, and finally the showcase of 6'5" Cedrick Wilson, this Offense will be set.

Still, the key is the Oline. If Coach Marc Colombo (w/help from Hudson Houck) can keep improving this Oline while developing the backups, ooooh baby, this Offense is going to be deadly next year.

The same goes for the Defense. Their key is the Dline. Period. Resign Tank Lawrence to a longterm contract (hope he gives Jerry a little discount). Resign David Irving to a friendly 3 year contract. Redo Tyrone Crawford's contract to a friendly deal. Taco should be improved. Gregory is finally coming along. Resign Antwaun Woods to a friendly 3 year deal. The same goes for Maliek Collins. Plus, all of their backups are starting to gel and pick things up. Now, add our very young and talented LB corps. The same goes for our very young D-secondary? This Defense will be even better next year.

Still, the key to success for our team lies in the trenches. Both sides of the line.
