Will the Cowboys play in January? - Dallas-Mavs.com Forums

FishForLunch · 12-14-2003, 01:58 AM

I have a bad feeling that the cowboys without a consistient running game will only win one out of the last three games.

9-7 will not get them into the playoffs, but atleast they will be above 500. During pre-season I thought they will finish at best 4-12

I had them at 7-9 before the seasonstarted so I am pleasantly surprised, but this is not a playoff team that can make any noise if they get in at all. They lack a quarterback and the running game sucks.

They're getting in.

Possibly...hopefully....but they won't make much noise if/when they do. Still...this season has been a pleasant surprise.

What do you guys want? A Super Bowl this year? Let's not forget where this team came from.

Making the playoffs is a huge accomplishment with this roster. Think about it. They don't have a feature running back any other team would want. They don't have a quarterback other teams would want. They have three pretty good receivers, but none of them is currently what you'd call a stud.

They're not likely to advance in the playoffs because they're probably going to start on the road, where they don't play well. Still, they've done a heck of a job just to get there. Next season, we can expect more.

Double post.

Definitely, I agree w/kg. If this team doesn't get another win, this season is already a success. To go from 5-11 x3 to this in a year is amazing. Just to make it to the playoffs would be unbelievable. And do-able. The Saints? Do-able.

i don't know. the boys will face either Green bay, Minnesota, Seattle or Carolina
in the first. I think they can beat all 4 of those teams. I mean it's not a lock, but very possible.

Definately doesn't matter to me whether we go far in the playoffs are not. I'm just happy to even get there at this point. This was our rebuilding year and with basically the same roster we had when we went 5-11 we can manage to win 10 games this season. I expect the Giants to be just as bad as the Redskins.

We haven't won 10 games yet, but what a year! Totally surpassed everyones wildest dreams.

in total agreement, what a wonderful year for a team that very little was expected from....what a nice surprise!

Pretty much my sentiments. I never predicted this for the 'Boys this year, so anything they do in the playoffs is gravy. I'm already looling forward to next year. If Bill can get this much out this team this year, imagine what he could do with a second year.

All Cowboy haters, your days are numberd.

I think we are all excited like that kingrex.
