Teams that were bad last year may be much better this year, just like the cowboys.
you cant judge teams by what they did last year.
Also they all will want to beat the cowboys, and will play their best game when playing cowboys.
So there are no easy games or sure wins.

I don’t think we’ll be “much” better than last year. I think we win the division pretty comfortably last year at 9-7 or so if Dak doesn’t go down. I think we’re the best team in a bad division and have a weak schedule. That doesn’t mean I think we’re a great team.

The hype regarding all the other East teams improving dramatically seems misplaced to me. New York was bad last year before Barkley went down because their attempts to reform the OL flopped and Daniel Jones just isn’t very good. Philadelphia is going to be terrible, and Washington is relying on a nearly 40 year old Ryan Fitzpatrick.

I dont disagree , but last year 3 east coaches were in their first year. Then the C thing messed with meetings and practices etc.
And they all added players, and are getting key players back.
So I look for all 3 of those teams to do much better.
As for philly, it all depends on their HC who I wont prejudge till I see how he does.

Wash has Henike if Fitz goes on the Fitz lol , and I think Henike should actually be the starter, and Fitz the bkup.
NYG, Barclay back will change things dramatically.
All this is just IMO.

Another thing I like to do is predict just the first 4 games.
Do them in 4 game segments, but now they added the extra game lol so that messes that up a little.
But for first 4
1: at Buccaneers - loss
2: at Chargers - win....possibly a loss dont know the chargers all that well
3: Eagles - win
4: Panthers - win

So either 3-1 or 2-2 and it is possible dallas beats TB lol, and then loses to one of the others, so I still like 3-1 start.

ok just found this at youtube, since we play brady this season, here is one from 2007 with romo vs brady full game.
I vaguely remember this, very vaguely lol.
This may play embedded, or you may have to watch at you tube, if so there is a link in video to watch at yt.
I dl it and will watch later. Should be cool to see young Romo, and this was the 13-3 season.

seeing is believing ! lol
I got a little pumped last year, but they let the air out of my sails very quickly lol.

So while I predict and have expectations, I too need to see to believe.

While at youtube, I was trying to accumulate bradys 1st cinderella season, and got most of it !
But in doing that I ran across some cowboy games from 2001, I had very vague memories of that time,and watched a little of
game 3 with eagles, and anthony wright was the QB ! and I was like who is this?? lol
turns out quincy was the # 1 and aw was the # 2 and quincy was hurt.
Then I started watching a giants game 8 , which I dl as it was pretty good game.

I thought this is the first years of jerry building his own team lol.
only a few left of the jimmy team, and jerry is down on the sideline during home games lol.

But if you watch some of these 2001 games, you might appreciate the current team more.
And campo didnt have much to work with compared to what JG and now MM have.

But here is the giants game , it is a wild one. and I believe this is the giants team that went to a SB and lost.

You predicted 6-10.......... it's now a 17 game season.

That's what I was referring to.

Us Cowboy fans are the best. The delusion should be studied and taught in universities.

This might be the only fanbase where every single year is their year even if they've been dead wrong for a quarter of a century.

To be fair it goes both ways. I predicted 5-11 before the 2016 13-3 season. It just means that this team has been completely and utterly unpredictable, inconsistent and that last year’s results have no bearing on future results.

No idea but I predict we'll all be thinking the rookies should play on Day 1 over the vets they'd replace once we see them in pre-season but instead many will be benched, let go or sent to PS much to the consternation of many of us fans. But nothing new here on Jerry's team. "aaarrrrmmmmm I'm only playing the most expensive players to get my money's worth arrrrrmmm....back to drinking.Who cares about talent! It's my money and my madden game rrrrmauummmm hiccup.":popcorn:
