I'll reiterate my prior prediction:

A 'Dave Campo Special' 5-11 season.

And while Russell Wilson will be "going to Disney World!", we'll be going to Sea World...

:(

but at least "WE DID IT OUR WAY BABY!"

Good luck, that crowd only expects one side to assume any risk when they get offended seeing things they'd rather not see.

While not having the guts to back up anything they're claiming or holding themselves to the same standards.

I think there's a term for that but it escapes me right now...

That's why I put it out there. Lol

We should have swept the east last year with a healthy Romo. What makes you think we'll suddenly go 1-5 in the division?

Because all of the team have improved and our defense may be worse than last year. This will be a season of shoot-outs and the last guy with the ball wins. I think all three QB's in the east will make this defense look like a cat playing with a mouse.

No pass rush, no pass defense. I think I read that somewhere.

But I can be wrong.

For anyone who has predicted 7-9 or over......

your the toad in the pot........and it's beginning to boil......You just don't know it:(

The bill of goods Jerry has sold you is no good.

Just look @ history.....I was about to go down that road once again......but I woke up this year. I will never be suckered by Jerry Jones again. All he cares about is getting your hard earned money.

I'd rather have hope and be disappointed when it doesn't happen, than be negative all the time.

But that's just me.

As far as the Jerry Jones comment...You'll watch the games, yes? Then you're giving Jerry as much support as someone who hopes they do well this year. So that's a weird thing to say...Unless you think complaining on an internet forum makes you smarter than others, or if you think that makes you support Jerry less than others...it doesn't, unless you stop watching altogether.

Before the Sean Lee injury I was at 10-6. Things have changed since then, it's been a roller coaster offseason but I think I've settled on a prediction.

Sep 7 San Francisco 4:25 pm
Sep 14 @Tennessee 1:00 pm
Sep 21 @St. Louis 1:00 pm
Sep 28 New Orleans 8:30 pm

First 4 games, I think we either split 2-2 or 1-3. I'll go with 2-2 due to some Romo theatrics in one of the road games. I think we beat San Fran.

Oct 5 Houston 1:00 pm
Oct 12 @Seattle 4:25 pm
Oct 19 N.Y. Giants 4:25 pm
Oct 27 Washington 8:30 pm

Next 4 games, I see us splitting 2-2 again. I think Houston is a guaranteed win and Seattle is a guaranteed loss. We'll split the two division games.

Nov 2 Arizona 1:00 pm
Nov 9 @jacksonville 1:00 pm
Week 11 BYE
Nov 23 @N.Y. Giants 8:30 pm
Nov 27 Philadelphia 4:30 pm

Next 4 games, I see us going 3-1. Once again we'll split the two division games. I'm questioning whether I should give us both the Arizona and Jacksonville games, there might be a slip up there but I'll go ahead and give the Cowboys Ws in both games.

Dec 4 @Chicago 8:25 pm
Dec 14 @Philadelphia 8:30 pm
Dec 21 Indianapolis 4:25 pm
Dec 28 @washington 1:00 pm

Final 4 games, we go 1-3. This is the hardest part of our schedule IMO (I swear the NFL is doing this to us on purpose). I think by then we'll be a depleted squad again and I don't trust us on the road in the division, especially when I believe the other teams will have something to play for.

That leaves us at 8-8 yet again and most likely out of the playoffs. I can see one more loss in the first and/or third quarters of the season. But I'll stick with 8-8 if Romo is 100% healthy throughout the season. Tell me where I'm wrong.

9 and 7.

4-12 if not worse... no pass rush whatsoever. offense isn't all that, the tackles are looking bad and without Austin our wr corps is definitely no threat other than dez and a DT could cover Witten at his speed. Man what a miserable year, we got to find a pass rusher.

After watching the Draft, FAy and then the preseason with the cut downs, I have little to no more confidence then I did at the end of last year. We lost a lot and gained a good O lineman that will help, but wont help this D. The D is a quilting bee blanket of patchwork draft and FA hopefuls that provide a glimmer of a bright light at the end of a long dark tunnel, but we have sen that before and its just an oasis of sorts. We are getting better at the draft lately, but not soon enough to help us now.

Injuries are killing us, I dont know if you can test for injury proneness or not, but man we have to get luckier cause I dont know if this is something you can get better at. I have never seen a team with so many hammys and silly injuries that keep a player out 6 games to a year.

I like the O, with a strong but not yet complete line, good QB and dazzling WR corp and a solid RB squad. Personally I'm beginning to hate the TE position just in general.

I am leary of this D and dont expect much but am optomistic that it can string a few good games here and there to keep us at 500 or maybe win an exrta game of two, but I'm under no illusion we are even close to a good team with a good cahnce of playing playoff football. I am hopeful we look competitive in every game and provide something to build upon for next year with a large preponderence of defensive drafts that dont suck and wont get injured.

I'm going to go 7-9 and pray the football gods grace us with a lucky run and we do better then we should.

7-9 - Final answer.

Looks like a 6-10 on the way. A tough schedule ahead. Garrett will exit stage left with that record.

I really don't get this "tough schedule " talk. 49ers, saints, seahawks, colts and possibly the bears will be problems...but it reallly isn't all that different from any other year.

Losing austin improved this team...just saying.

LOL I saw that video again with Switzer and Jerry. Switzer is holding the trophy and says that and Jerry pretty much rips the trophy out of Switzers hands lol.

Is that the one where he repeats "We did it!" about ten times, like the record skipped?

Yeah I always thought that was pretty rude of him. But Switzer had no pride back then, he was just happy to be here for the ride.
