The Cowboys season took an unexpected turn on Sunday
Things were rolling along in a normal fashion. We, as fans of the Dallas Cowboys, found ourselves in a comfortable rhythm of watching the team lose each week and then we went about our business. There was an inevitable sense that this was our fate except for the occasional game against other duds like the New York Giants or the Carolina Panthers. The most important thing was watching our draft position for 2025.
Then the Cowboys pulled a stunner and beat the Washington Commanders. Suddenly the mood was lightened and there was a glimmer of optimism. Considering the Cowboys play the 2-9 Giants, the 4-7 Cincinnati Bengals, and the 3-8 Carolina Panthers coming up, thoughts of the Cowboys somehow reaching a 7-7 record and then anything could happen in a playoff chase began to percolate in the corners of the internet.
There has been plenty of debate about fans rooting for a tank job versus rooting for wins. We know that the players and coaches won’t be tanking, they just aren’t wired to do that. But as fans, we get to choose. So after our standard confidence in the franchise question, we wanted to know your thoughts on what you want to happen for the rest of the 2024 season.
Would you rather the team tank and lose for draft position, or would you rather they win, establish some momentum heading into the offseason, and not completely fracture the franchise? There is no wrong or right here, just opinions.
