FRISCO - Which way to the bar?
No, not that "bar,'' even though the Dallas Cowboys often drive their fans to drinkin'.
We mean "the bar of expectations'' under new head coach Brian Schottenheimer.
The Cowboys have the "Blow It Up'' plan (and a 7-10 season) behind them. There is the ever-present criticism of owner Jerry Jones and QB Dak Prescott, of course, but there is also a much-celebrated "culture shift'' under new coach Brian Schottenheimer.
Many critics have predicted a modest to underwhelming season for Dallas in Schottenheimer’s first year at the helm. Others have projected a successful first campaign. And why?
But, Cowboys Nation, before we predict "success,'' we have to define it. And our Mike Fisher in the Fish Report below is here to help.
So, you vote. Pick one of the six as you decide in your own heads and hearts where the "bar of expectations'' should be for the 2025 Dallas Cowboys.
Your choices ...
1. BETTER 'N: Last year Dallas was 7-10. Be better than that, and forge a foundation going forward, and that's enough.
2. PLAYOFFS IN: Is a playoff berth enough? Damn right - especially climbing out of the brutal NFC East.
3. PLAYOFFS WIN: Postseason wins are a real measure. Dallas has gotten their plenty. Win one.
4. "TRUE SUPER BOWL CONTENTION:'' What is "rue Super Bowl contention''? You define it. And pick No. 4 if that's what must be.
5. NFC CHAMPIONSHIP APPEARANCE: End that 30-year drought, please.
6. SUPER BOWL! Because in Dallas, that's all that really matters.
So there you go, Cowboys fans ... rock the vote!
