Cowboys Reacts Survey: Either the start of a turnaround, or an implosion

The Dallas Cowboys are now past their bye and prepping for a game against the San Francisco 49errs on Sunday Night Football. Both teams were expected to be NFC contenders this season. Both teams have gotten off to a slow start, Dallas is 3-3 while the 49ers are 3-4. Both teams have some of their best players on the injury list. Both teams desperately need this game.

Normally being a 3-3 team doesn’t c produce the anxiety that is being experienced by the Cowboys fanbase. But the three absolute blowouts at AT&T Stadium (with one attempted fourth-quarter comeback) have Dallas looking nowhere close to being a contender. In fact, the idea of making the playoffs is heavily in doubt according to the fanbase.

So as we enter the post-bye period, we need to lay down a marker of just where the fanbase is regarding this team. While the bye can bring some good news like certain players getting healthier and possibly playing this week, there was also the continued inactivity from the front office in trying to upgrade the roster. If improvement is coming, it is likely from within.

So we ask our two survey questions this week. Do you have confidence the franchise is headed in the right direction? And do you think the Cowboys will beat the 49ers?
