Go look at the poll....not many...including myself.

 

[bigE79]

I did, Rush and the defense get the credit,alot of people here hoped we'd go 0-5 with Rush to prove a narrative about a certain player,which blew up in their faces when he went 4-1 and they hated it and still do...lol their definitely not ' Cowboy " fans..lol... you know who you are.

Not me, I was wondering who we were taking with the overall first pick in the draft.

 

[conner01]

When I looked at the schedule pre season I felt 10 wins would be a good record
When Dak went down I felt 10 wins would be impossible
Thankfully I was wrong
Rush did a nice job and the defense has played some good football
Now we just got to make some noise in the playoffs

 

[ghst187]

TBH, I didn’t think we’d get to 10 wins WITH a healthy Dak all season. I figured 8-9 or 9-8. The defense was vastly better to start the season than I could’ve imagined. Pollard getting more touches has lit up the scoreboard, Ceedee has taken it up a level…

 

[Boyzmamacita]

I thought it was over when Dak went down. I was so bummed after game one, but Rush came in and exceeded all expectations. The defense was better back then. Those two things combined to save the season. If the Eagles hadn't gotten off to such a great start, we would all realize what a great season the Cowboys are having. We got revenge on them, though and I look forward to how far the 2022-23 Cowboys will go.

I personally thought the season was over heading into week 2.

 

[Calvin2Tony2Emmitt2Julius]

I did but I am the very textbook definition of a Homer so you have that whole thing. I never call for my teams demise and saw a legit 12-5 or 11-6 for the season. Damn I was off by 1 game. We'' be 13-4

 

[cowboyec]

i didn't.
that night...it sure felt like a nightmare.
season over.
credit to this group of players and coaches.
resilient.
helluva tough group.

 

[Pentagruel]

I certainly did not expect this after that first game. Both losing Dak, but also how dreadful we played in all facets of the game did not engender much hope in me. However, after the defense really played elite for a stretch I definitely have gotten more optimistic overall. I think all of the above that you mentioned deserve praise.

yeah I remember telling a staff member at work (her husband is a huge Vikings' guy) that our aeason was done. That was a Monday. By Wednesday I was like, hey Fat Mike won with Flynn, why not Rush.

 

[tyke1doe]

With four games left when Dak went down?

 

[Virginia-Dave]

And with Cincinnati coming in the following week. I had written off the season, not gonna lie.

that win over cincinnati gave me hope that maybe we weren't done after all.

 

[KMY_Amber]

I sure didn't. I'll give this team credit. They have damn near already overachieved based on my own expectations after Week 1.

And still being the perpetual pessimist, I don't see this team winning 3 or 4 road playoff games this season either, not with this coaching triplet (OC, DC and HC). But I'll happily eat my words if they prove me wrong.

i get 100% of the credit. I bought 2 dolls:

- A Cooper Rush doll that I injected with ink made from boiled down Marvel super hero comic books. I ran out, that’s why we lost the last game he started.

- A Dak doll that I played recorded affirmation quotes to 24/7 the entire time he was out.

Total cost was $42k. Anyone that wants to kick in, PayPal or Venmo me.

 

[Bagman]

Seeing Tyron go down in preseason and Dak in the opener was bad. I started looking at the NFL draft guides for 2023. Im shocked and pleased with their current situation.

 

[Kevinicus]

Honestly, was it Dak getting hurt, or Dak and the rest of the O looking so terrible in week 1 that had peoole down on the team?

Dak being hurt didn't concern me at all.
