Good points.
However, those teams were built through the draft, and some plan B free agents such as Novacek was. And NO cap to worry about.
So they could bring in players such as Tony Casillas, from a trade as they had a crap load of draft capital to do so.
They could make the trade for Charles Haley. And pay the contract.
Would I trust our WR and TE group as back then. No. Also, however. We have not seen them with Dak at QB other than the 1st game without Gallup. Washington can have a good impact when he returns as well. And the running game is getting going, such as those players had Emmitt. Not comparing any RB to Emmitt. Just saying a strong running game helps tremendously.
I will give them a few games, as well see how they are coming out of the bye week. They may surprise us.
