I agree, It's not like we didn't know our opponents before today. I also love the late season home games against niners & eagles as well as the bye week before @ Vikings, then two Thursday games with 10 days off for the last 4 games of the season
No, not too bad, Just not easy. Someone said here the other day we had the 3rd easiest schedule in the league. Now i never know how they come up with those rankings when you have no clue how good teams are, but I can't see this as a top 5 easiest schedule in any way shape or form
Probably top 10 on the easy scale, since our division was so weak last year. The additions we made this year should put us in more shootouts than ground n pound games. I don't see very many D's that should cause us to adjust. Now we will have our off days too, but thru the first 9 games I just don't fear us getting a beat down. After the bye at Minnesota, then short week for Washington on Thanksgiving then at Baltimore are going to test us physically and mentally. If we can survive and play down to the wire, we just might have a playoff team. My guess here in May is 11 wins.
Tough to guess a number of wins win a totally new coaching staff. If we find out what we all thought all along about these coaches then I would think 10 or possibly 11 wins. But, I'm not sure our horrible defense from last year got much better if at all. Hoping it was scheme and predictability that was hurting us. I was talking to a friend of mine the other day and the conversation moved to: 'what if Garrett and the defensive guys were actually great coaches all along and were getting the most out of the players and hiding their weaknesses with the simple schemes'. It was kind of funny, but also not funny...
The only thing I don't like is starting the season on Sunday night again. I hate waiting all day.
Thanksgiving has not been fun for us lately. Watching the Cowboys lose on T-day makes for an unhappy night.
Coming off 8-8, I have no idea about this team for next year. I have no prediction.
I hear yea. The biggest question mark for this team is obviously the defense, I think if they are average at best this team is good enough to go 10-6 since McCarthy is coaching instead of the ginger clapper. Anything better would be predicated solely on defensive performance specifically turnovers, lawd knows we need more of those.
They still have to prove they are better than last year after losing 2 of their top 3 defenders performance wise in 2019 and a perennial All Pro on the OL even if he didn't play at that level last year. I love the moves they made, but that doesn't erase losing those 3 until we see the team is put together better. Reason for optimism for sure, but there are still serious questions that need to be answered
Cowboys are nothing but a giant question mark.
After last season, I'm with you.
