I assume you are kidding..I never even thought of your existence when i MADE UP A CHAT BOARD NAME.

Question for you to engage:

1) To what extent does this matter? And could it be that the people the thousands of people that preceded you with using RoyW themed screen names do not care that you "stole" their theme?

2) Is Roys name in your screen name?

3) Are you really serious???

I hope you are kidding and get the joke

You'll still beat them but they will have the better record.

And I'm pretty sure they won the East in 1999, and finished with a better record than you in 2000, 2001, and 2002.

Get a life and go to your own site you troll. :iggles:

[followthestar]

you can say that who improved more is opinion, but really lets talk about facts. while we don't know the impact each player will have, we can and do have a consensus of how good the players are that each team gained. it is a fact that the cowboys are generally considered to have had one of the best offseasons of any team thus far. minny is said to have done very well also. washington is not mentioned, even as a runnerup, for obvious reasons. the cowboys have significantly closed the gap on the eagles IMO, while the skins have made no real progress to speak of. i'll put my money down now that we finish with a better record than the skins!

[joshjwp]

The Redskins will not have a better record than us. The only reason we had the same record as them last year was due to injuries. Which by the way seems inevitable for them to experience next year. Their offensive skill positons are way too small Portis, Moss, Patten are sure to suffer some injuries. Portis will never be the back he was in Denver, mainly due to the fact that no back is. Their scheme is amazing, his yards per carrie dropped from 5.5 with Denver to 3.9 last year. Then on top of that he is now in a pound the ball offense and is expected to get 25-30 carries a game and he wont last a whole season. He is sure to have a short career IMO.

I think AJM613 is closer to right than any of you homers are willing to admit

lets look at our 4 signings...

Offense

Deadslow..er I mean Bledsoe... If this were 1992 it is a good signing other than that he is probably no better or worse than half the qb's who Bill said will only get you to .500... I just do not understand how the NE fans and Bills fans can be cheering their gain by cutting Bledsoe and the Cowboy fans cheering their gain by signing him somewhere someone is not being truthful... so is he better than VT...who know but if he is I think it will be minimal....

Rivera... nice guard but was about done before the back injury (knees) now who knows what the Cowboys get IF he even plays

so overall on offense I do not see a marked improvement... and if the O-line is still porous than I see a downgrade as Bledsoe is less mobile than VT


Defense

Ferguson and Henry are both very good pickups IMHO...I think with those two added to the defense it should be in the top dozen in the league...of course that means we find a viable solution at FS...

So are the Cowboys drastically improved...I do not believe so...but they have made some improvements and I believe their Defense will keep them in some games this year...but this pie in the sky talk...well its just that

[AJM1613]

Talking about injuries? The minicamps haven't even started yet and one of you new pickups already got injured.

The Redskins lost Pierce, but they got Barrow and Arrington (played four games). They lost Coles, but got Moss and Patten. They lost Smoot, but they got Bowen (played five games), Rabach and Jansen. They also got stabilty at quarterback, which is a must. Just because they didn't have the most glamorous offseason for the first time in ten years doesn't mean they will be even worse this season.

Sorry if I sound like a troll...but I believe it.

And the Giants are obvious.

The Giants have very quietly had a very fine off season thus far.......But, The Giants will go as Manning goes. At this point that's a big ???????

[Eddie]

The Giants will go as far as Manning will take them. At least they have their franchise QB. I'm jealous.

I think the Giants will make tremendous strides from last year. The games Eli played in gave him valuable experience ... and he punched us in the nose at the end of the year (with only his 5th string WR's available, due to injury).

We can sing our own praises about how well we progressed ... but other than Ferguson (and hopefully Rivera if he recovers), the other pickups are not necessarily huge upgrades over what we already had in place.

Bledsoe is no better than Testaverde, and I'm not really sure Anthony Henry is anything more than a rookie wonder living off his past accomplishments.

I hope to be proven wrong, but we still have severe holes to fill. No point patting ourselves on the back for a job well done.

We still have a draft ... and with JJ's draft record, I'm not too confident he's going to find any real players who'll stick. I'm just hoping BP can do a better job.

[hockix]

If we don't get a pass rush, we will be the worst team of NFC east.

We really need to get Howard cause he is much better than any of the DE in the draft this year.

I hope we draft one and he proves me wrong but I don't see it.

It doesn't matter who we have at CB and FS, if we don't rush the opposite QB we will be bad.

Last year we needed a CB badly and we didn't get any, this year we need a DE and we still didn't get any.

We improved the team but we are still far from good.

[Eddie]

This is like Ground Hog's Day. It's a recurring nightmare.

Year in and year out, we need a DE and CB. It's unending.

We really need to hit the nail on the head this draft. Other teams seem to nail DE's like lucky charms. What gives?

The Iggles were laughed at for drafting 4 DB's in the 2002 draft. Two wound up in the Pro Bowl and 1 is a solid starter. Why can't we draft like that ???

I'm hoping Lacewell was the problem in the system. Now that he's gone, I'm hoping we can do a better job of drafting. With two first rounders, we need two spectacular players. With a high second rounder ... we should and 3 great players.

Anything else will see us in the basement of the NFC East ... again!!!
