This is going to shock you… but Dallas Cowboys fans are still not totally happy with the team.
If you thought Dallas Cowboys fans were won over by a strong Week 1 in the 2024, think again. The Cowboys got off to a fast start to the season when they went on the road and blew out a Cleveland Browns team that made the playoffs last year. That was pretty impressive. But an offseason that began with a blowout loss in the playoffs, then carried on with some contentious contract negotiation, also buffeted by free agency inaction, has left the fanbase with a sour taste.
Last week we asked your confidence level in the direction of the franchise and it was a very low 41%. After the Week 1 game, we asked you again. And that number only moved up to 51%.
There is still work to be done by the franchise to win over the fans.
Not only that, it seems Dak Prescott has more work to do. Just before the Browns game, the franchise and Prescott came to terms on a record-setting deal for four years and $240 million, with $231 million guaranteed. There are definitely skeptics of the contract. Only 46% of fans thought that was a good idea.
That number won’t likely change much until Prescott leads the team deep into the playoffs and maybe one day, to another Lombardi for Dallas.
This week, the Cowboys host the Saints and are 6.5-point favorites over the New Orleans franchise.
