for once I agree with just about all 8 opinions..Based on my opinions, below are some scenarios for this season that I believe are either likely or unlikely. Please feel free to weigh in.
1. The Cowboys win the NFC East in 2020. I say LIKELY. This division almost never has a back to back division winner. E-girls won it last year. Skins and midgets...lol. Cowboys are LIKELY division winners.
2. Dak Prescott signs a new contract instead of playing under the tag. LIKELY. At the last minute, Jerry will come to an agreement with Dak. He always seems to play the long game before caving. I expect a repeat performance here probably at the last possible minute.
3. The Cowboys win more than 10 games in 2020. UNLIKELY. In a year of incredible offseason uncertainty and a new HC coming in, I think this team will probably be something like 10-6. The latter part of the schedule is also very tough. Hope I’m wrong and this team wins 12!
4. Andy Dalton wins the starting QB position for 2020. EXTREMELY UNLIKELY. In fact, barring an injury to Dak, or some crazy holdout, Dalton will be one of the leagues best backup QBs. That’s what he was signed for. Even he knows that.
5. The offense will be better than last year. LIKELY. With the addition of Cedee Lamb plus the new offensive mind of Big Mac, I think this offense is poised to score more. More yardage? Who cares? Points are what matters most and I think this team will kick less FGs and score more TDs because Mac is more aggressive than Coach Vanilla ever was.
6. The defense will be better than last year. This one is tough. I’m going to say...UNLIKELY. I’m not convinced we have added enough pass rushing talent and the loss of Bryon Jones will hurt some, especially early. Safety is still a ? I’m not convinced HaHa is much more than a one year band aid retread. Hope I’m wrong here, but while the D will perhaps be a little better than last year, but not be as good as we want it to be.
7. Zeke Elliott will have less carries than last year. LIKELY. I see this as a good thing, because we have been wearing this guy out under Garrett. Use him but with more variety and creativity. And I expect Pollard to see more action this year. Zeke will be perhaps a bigger weapon because they use him more intelligently.
8. The Cowboys make it to a Super Bowl. UNLIKELY. Only two head coaches in the last 20 seasons have won a SB in their first year- Jon Gruden in 2002 at Tampa Bay and Gary Kubiak in 2015 with the Broncos. I expect Big Mac to have a great first year and I expect the Cowboys to win the NFC East, and win a playoff game. But I see 2021 as a better shot in Big Macs second year.
What about your opinions? Likely or unlikely? Feel free to add some other possibilities.
I like it leaves it open for flex as no one knows what really going to unfold given all the new faces coaches and players and with the odd times we are currently living in , so much can change weekly..
