I did mean 350 for the year not 350 over last year.

I didn't say I wished Bledsoe to get hurt. I don't want to see any player get hurt, not even TO. But if he did get hurt, it could benefit us more in the long run, because everyone would get their wish to see Henson play sooner than later. Bledsoe being here is delaying progress. I don't think our defense will gel over night with the new scheme and new players;too much change,no continuity. Many want to see Henson play right now cause they think he is the future;Parcells doesn't think he's ready yet and he's right. I don't think Henson is the future and the sooner we find out,the better. It will take our defense at least a year in this new scheme anyway, so why not find out about Henson now and if he's not the answer, then we'd be able to go and get a true NFL ready QB in the draft.
That's what Pittsburgh did;their O-line and defense were already in place when they got BIg Ben, all Ben had to do was drive the bus. My worry is that if Bledsoe stays here 3 years and we don't win and Henson is still not ready in 2008, we'll have wasted 3-4 years waiting for a project QB to develop only to find out we guessed wrong. Where is the backup plan in case Henson doesn't develop. We got Hutchinson in case Carter didn't develop and we got Henson in case Carter didn't deveop, so when is the time to get a QB in case Henson doesn't develop. We can't just wait 2-3 years to see what he does because their may not be anyone suitable every year. I think that's why Buffalo got Losman when they did, because they didn't like next years prospects and why Washington pulled the trigger on Jason Campbell so early.

I would just like to see the co-hesion(sp?) with this team again. I want to see them doing football like it's supposed to be done. I want the entire offense running to the end zone on a score like they once did. I want them coming out of the huddles with a spring in their step, looking ready for anything, like they used to. I want a pass play where I do not have to hold my breath hoping someone with a star on their helmet makes a play. I want the hungry guys we had here at one time. I want to see them having fun cause they KNOW they are good at what they do. I want to see that "bring it" attitude again. I want their confidence level max'ed at all times no matter the situation. If we can do that then it will be successful IMO.

A rookie drafted is NFL ready? Yeah, that's a proven fact, kinda like 8 out of 10, right?

Mike 1967 · 05-26-2005

A defense that shows the ability to dictate a game.

A defense that does not get over powered and pushed around.

An 8-8 or better season with heavy rookie involvement

Beating Philadelphia at least once and being competitive in both games

some positive signs from Romo or Henson in real game situations

Continued output from Julius on par with where he left off last year....and also for him to complete the season without a missing time due to injury.

Consistent pass rush.

Thanks for the Welcomes

Its nice to be apreciated

JackMagist · 05-26-2005

I think this season will be a success if we can get to the playoffs and win at least one game. That would tell me that we are contenders. Just making the Wildcard round and going out in the first round tells me nothing; a lot of crap teams make the Wildcard round.

That's easy what we have won so many times before a Lombardi trophy
I can't see anything less then that being called success, cause in reality anything less then winning the super bowl is not success but failure so the only way I call 2005 a success is if Bill and his Cowboys are raising that beautiful silver trophy declaring ultimate victory

Yup. I have never thought after a playoff loss "wow, this season was a success...at least we got to the playoffs." After we lost to Carolina, i didn't ponder about how wonderful and successful our season was. I thought about 10 victories wasted. After we lost to San Fran in the Championship, i didn't jump for joy about how far we got. I hope Dallas players don't think success means getting better. Since we beat Pittsburgh in Arizona, we have not had a successful season. Just my 1¢.

I agree we have as much chance as anyone else our history dictates that
we will hoist that trophy again so aim for the stars and settle for nothing
less

We are the Dallas Cowboys!

Comin off of a 6-10 season and goin 9-7 would be good. When your 6-10 and go to havin a winning season that is something to be happy about. If we go 9-7 or better maybe then we can talk about #6. But then again I have alot more time then you do to get to see the Boys win #6 and more.

If Bledsoe does get hurt and Henson comes in and goes 12-2 and leads us to the playoffs. Would you agree to never post in this forum again. I hope so.

A winning season.
