"Feelings about the 2025 Cowboys have yo-yoed between hope and despair, wreaking havoc on our rooting system. That's life with a team hovering around .500. At the very least, you wish Dallas would go hard in one direction or the other towards a playoff spot or a better 2026 draft pick. But we may be coasting on this roller right through December."
"At the very least, Sunday's big loss to Denver didn't drop Dallas any further in the NFC standings. They remain in 10th place and a couple of wins behind the last wild card team, just as they were before. But remaining hopes of surging toward a playoff spot depend mightily on this Monday's game against the Cardinals. The Broncos are an excellent team, while Arizona is far from it."
"This would be a bittersweet win for draft-focused Dallas fans, further pushing the team away from a higher pick and strengthening the 2-5 Cardinals' position. But a win here puts the Cowboys at .500 both overall and in NFC play, and with eight games still to play. As we've mentioned, this is essentially a must-win for Dallas to be taken seriously as a potential playoff team."
Feelings about the 2025 Cowboys have oscillated between hope and despair because the team hovers around .500. Sunday's loss to Denver left Dallas in 10th place in the NFC, a couple of wins behind the last wild-card team, maintaining the same standing as before. Playoff hopes hinge on Monday's game against the Cardinals, a must-win against a weaker opponent compared with the Broncos. A win would bring the Cowboys to .500 overall and in NFC play with eight games remaining, while losses keep fans eyeing a better 2026 draft pick.
