Lamb will be better than Cobb.Negatives:
- Lamb will not be as good as Cobb this season
- The center will not be as good as Frederick
- The RE will not be as good as Quinn
- The CB spot is going to miss Byron
- Coaching will be worse before the bye as the staff learns the players
- Schedule seems tougher
For the positives:
- The kicker will be better
- Haha is better than Heath
- DLaw should be as healthy as he can be
- Coaching should be better after the bye as the staff is able to evaluate the players
- Theoretically we can only get more from LVEs spot than last year
Well another "WELL KNOWN MEMBER" giving us their 2 cents...……. I'll pass on your expertise and hit you with this. The D has an exceptional year and the Boys turn up the heat in the East to a boiling 12-4 REGULAR SEASON. I might add the "O" finally figures out how to put the petal to the metal and with the help of Dak's brother's cheering and starts to beat up on above average teams which takes the Boys all the way to the NFC Championship game. Oh, I almost forgot ……….........Boys 38 - Buccaneers 10...………………………..Super Bowl...... Boys 28 - Ravens 17 BOOK IT!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm totally confused by that statement. The Cowboys went 8-8 last year with a spotty defense and the leagues worst special teams and even worse, the human boat anchor Garrett and his staff.I’ll be shocked if Cowboys are better than 8-8
After looking at schedule and taking into account how rushed this whole thing is for a team with a brand new defensive system and way to communicate with the QB (McCarthy is the best QB coach there’s ever been here)
I just don’t see how the team is better than 8-8.
Week 1 - At Rams - they’ve lost a lot but they still have the boy wonder at HC and his schemes are not something I like a brand new defense having to face to open. LOSS
Week 2 - Falcons - Ryan and his trio of WRs return. There’s continuity at the OC spot and Ridley is poised to break out. Defensively they have to be better than last year - LOSS
Week 3 - At Seahawks - Russell Wilson and Pete Carroll. Did it on smoke and mirrors last year and should have some reinforcements this year - LOSS
Week 4 Browns - Also going through new system. Baker is a head case. Cowboys get first win of season - WIN
Week 5 - Giants - If it’s going to be a rough transition for Dallas, it will be that much tougher for Giants and Washington again - WIN
Week 6 - Cardinals - Not a believer in Kliff or Kyler. They’re doing a lot of retooling as well. - Another win comes here. WIN
Week 7 - At Washington - See the Giants - WIN
Week 8 - At Philadelphia - If this was after the bye I’d feel better about going into the Linc. As it is I’ll take Pederson and the DL - LOSS
Week 9 - Steelers - If Big Ben stays healthy they’ll be dangerous. Tomlin is a great coach to have for this season - LOSS
BYE - this will be where the staff can make better adjustments and team can start playing more to their talent level
Week 11 - At Vikings - Even without crowds there will still be Viking horn and a long travel trip after 2 weeks of not having to worry about COVID. Minn proved they were a different team going into NO last year and Zimm got the extension. I have Vikings in NFC Champ this year - LOSS
Week 12 - Washington - WIN
Week 13 - At Baltimore - I think it will be between Baltimore and Pitt to battle the Chiefs for the AFC Champ spot - LOSS
Week 14 - At Cinci - Team should start playing to their talent level. This will be a must win to have a chance at the playoffs. - WIN
Week 15 - SF - Shanahan has his offense rolling. They’ll be hitting on all cylinders this year and lucky that they get Dallas in a fluke year. In a normal year this may be a preview of the NFC Champ - LOSS
Week 16 - Philadelphia - Team avenges the earlier loss to Philly in an attempt to win out and get a wild card
Week 17 - At NYG - Giants have mailed it in by this point - WIN
Obviously we don’t know what injuries will happen or who will miss due to COVID. I think the team looks a lot better after the bye and in a normal year I’d have them beating Atlanta and either the Steelers or 49ers at home.
Now if they delay the season 3 weeks to allow for appropriate conditioning and practice it’s a whole new season. But this truncated rush job is not good for the team this year.
Going by that line of thinking, why are you here?cool.
why does this need its own thread? who cares?

I DO TOO, BUT lets be truthful, we have a bunch of things workin against us. Lets not forget we have a new center too.

In a normal season with adequate preparation I think 10-6 would be a baseline. However this is NOT Madden. You can’t turnover 40-50 percent of the roster, a whole new coaching staff and think having 3 weeks is adequate time to be ready to go.
The coaches don’t know what the players can and can’t do yet. McCarthy doesn’t know how to coach Dak yet. How he responds, what makes him tick. We know KM is not the guy to give hard coaching. He’s more of the schematic whiz kid.
Zeke wasn’t himself the first 8 weeks last year because he didn’t have adequate preparation. It will be like that for the whole team physically plus adding mental reps that other teams with returning staffs don’t have to deal with
Is the roster even better than last season?Ridiculous. This is the most talented team since 2016 and Garrett and marinelli are gone. Mm is a real hc.
your analysis is garbage.
unless dak and others get Covid and can’t play for weeks.
