A few stat predictions

[blindzebra]

Romo: 4700 yards, 35TDs, 14 INTs

Jones: 1050 yards rushing, 8 TDs...270 yards receiving, 2 TDs

Choice: 350 yards, 6 TDs

Barber: 500 yards, 10 TDs

Witten: 800 yards, 6 TDs

Bennett: 270 yards, 2 TDs

Austin: 1100 yards, 10 TDs

Williams: 650 yards, 8 TDs

Bryant: 600 yards, 5 TDs


Ware: 18 sacks, 7 FFum, 1 INT

Spencer: 12 sacks, 5 FFum

Jenkins: 8 INTs

Record: 13-3, #1 seed, 3 home playoff games...3 home playoff wins.

 

[JBS]

Dez will exceed 600 and 5

 

[SDCowboy]

I agree with everything except Barber. No way he has 10 TDs this season.

I think our goalline offense will be so scary passing-wise he will get some easy scores.

 

[blindzebra]

Dez will exceed 600 and 5

I doubt it. Those are solid numbers for a rookie and the 4th option in this passing game.

 

[CowboyMcCoy]

I doubt it. Those are solid numbers for a rookie and the 4th option in this passing game.

I see you've finally come around to Romo.

 

[67CowboysFan]

Choice is not going to catch any passes?

 

[Cowboy Brian]

Romo 5100 or more yards, 50 or more TDs, 9 or less Ints. (and he will be the leagues MVP, SuperBowl MVP & finally get the recognition as the leagues top QB)

Austin. 1400+ yards 15+ Tds.


Im sticking by those predictions.


Other less confident predictions:
Witten 1100+ yards 6+ TDs
Bryant 650 yards 4 tds. (a darn fine rookie year since I bet he will be lining up at #3)
Williams 800 yards 6 Tds.
O-tree 300 yards 3 tds (I bet we will have one of the top 3 get injured for atleast a few games, and I expect O-tree to explode when he gets the chance)

 

[jobberone]

I think we should score 500 points this year. You can divide that up as you will.

 

[blindzebra]

I think we should score 500 points this year. You can divide that up as you will.

My predictions added up to 59 offensive TDs which = 413 points.

I figure 4 or 5 TDs on returns/defense.

15 to 20 FGs.

500 seems about right.

 

[Tricericon]

Romo: 4700 yards, 35TDs, 14 INTs

I really doubt Romo gets that much yardage. QBs on good teams rarely rack up huge yardage totals, especially when the team also has a good running game. No need to throw when you're well ahead and can run effectively.

Jones: 1050 yards rushing, 8 TDs...270 yards receiving, 2 TDs

Choice: 350 yards, 6 TDs

Barber: 500 yards, 10 TDs

I think the yardage from the run game will be distributed differently (more evenly between Barber & Jones, at least) but the total seems reasonable if the line and Romo both stay healthy.

Witten: 800 yards, 6 TDs

It's been four years since Witten finished with less than 950 yards, and I doubt Bryant or Bennett will chip too heavily into his production. TDs seem about right.

Bennett: 270 yards, 2 TDs

Austin: 1100 yards, 10 TDs

Williams: 650 yards, 8 TDs

Bryant: 600 yards, 5 TDs

Wide receiver numbers very reasonable. The least probable prediction here is Williams' high TD totals.

Ware: 18 sacks, 7 FFum, 1 INT

Ware is awesome, but 18 sacks is a lot. Lower teens seem more reasonable.

Spencer: 12 sacks, 5 FFum

12 is a really high prediction for a guy who only has one good half-season under his belt. I hope you're right, but 5-10 seems more reasonable.

Jenkins: 8 INTs

I'd be very surprised if this happens. High INT totals are partially luck, but most scenarios where a corner gets a lot of picks come where a team has one lockdown corner forcing a QB to take his chances with a quality corner on the other side. Newman just isn't good enough at his age to force that many passes in Jenkins' direction.

Record: 13-3, #1 seed, 3 home playoff games...3 home playoff wins.

Gonna be tough to win 13 games. The East is going to be brutal this year.

Romo was close to that much last year...as far as good teams, you may want to look at the stat line for Brees, Manning and Brady.

FYI, Williams had 7 TDs last year while missing time in 3 games.

Teams will be playing catch up a lot so picks will be plentiful.

 

[jobberone]

15 to 20 FGs.

500 seems about right.

The problem is we only scored about 360 last year. That requires 20 more TDs.

Hey, Fat Toad, what the heck do you think happened last year?

 

[blindzebra]

We lost 33 points on missed FGs which would have gotten us to 400.

We get a few more defensive scores and finish better in the redzone and high 400's to 500 is very doable.

 

[CCBoy]

Hey, Fat Toad, what the heck do you think happened last year?

Now, proclaiming literary greatness. You provide a direction...all implied. Even the final results. Hey, one liners would seem to work if what was in YOUR mind already was known and accepted by a person reading that greatness in articulation. Maybe exactness has a place in the complexity of insult. Like providing the exact measure being countered instead of a maybe, could have, should have...yet all relying upon YOUR OWN set of observations. Here to now, not proven by metal of direct association. Just some expressed he's and haw's for group approval.

You don't even yet own up to paragraph development and sequence of a topic's development, and you claim domain as critic of form. Quick, see if the spell check covers theme development as well as paragraph strength....

Wow, really?

Are you seriously going to lecture me on paragraph strength? It's the off-season. Most of what I write will be short and probably won't have substantive content behind it other than my opinion and hot air about players and coaches, schemes, et cetera.

(It's the off-season.)

But at least I don't ramble on like a drunk on peyote in the desert. If you put that feather you write with back in your hat and only pull it out for the occasions when and where paragraphs are needed then you don't wear out your welcome with the average reader.

I'm no literary great, although I do get tired to deciphering drunken gibberish even when it is gibberish about my favorite topic. It just gets tired on the old eyes, my good friend.

But you know how that goes; I just pop some viagra and everything works out just fine.

Woo hoo, ride that barrell on ropes in slo mo and think you are a bronco buster...but you did exactly what you claim is poor literature, culture, and boring. Yep, go figure the complaint sequence and how generated. As if the start of a season at any point is boring, without storyline, and unrevealing to an observer loving the process. Maybe you were more 'fan of championships' than of the sport and human dynamics involved with individual challenge and team accomplishment. Go figure how it can relate to a stat, which you claim full knowledge and function of all that has come before the screening eye of ALL that have followed the sport. Yea, I see YOUR direction....where mood of yours overrides any but YOUR approved reactions, comments, or even relevance. Why to listen to yourself, I should just bow to your reverence and shut up....Pearl Buckled Bangled Billie.

Buddy and insult don't domingle, no matter how tactful you wish your projections to be. The definition of tact, is the ability to make another eat shiza and enjoy it. Here, without doubt your foot never sets itself upon that playing field.

Love is one thing, but talking about it is another...and once on the field, tell me that ANY salary matters as to the play going on. Tell me that any three year old price tag has ANY consideration in that play as well. Then tell me that player would be SOOOOOO MUCH better if Jerry wasn't the GM.
Now tell me that Wade as the head coach does ANYTHING to limit that player on the field as well.

Well you joined in that dog and pony show for a while recently, so don't claim high ground of insight and divine love. Hey, most of all of us love the Cowboys. I've been in that corner since 1960 AND had to deal with Viet Nam and dogs in the street for a 'Joe' just trying to be himself. Yea, rah rah on an insult political slant and appropriateness. I only was carrying a 126 pound base plate in three feet of mud after playing my collegiate ball. Yea, I'm really about to cry that you find myself boring....

as to pictoral comparisons, if you pulled your finger out of your posterior, NO ONE would then mistake you for a CORN DOG!

You're tightening it up a little bit now. At least you're making your thoughts a bit clearer. Haven't you ever read Alice in Wonderland? "Say what you mean and mean what you say."

 

[CCBoy]

Just stick to Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs...but don't forget to shout hooray when they start singing: HI.....HO! Pay particular attention to Dopey...and don't worry about lengths and directions of development. They usually are appropriate with intent...but again, you are fond of types of orifice openings. Such as square and circular...so YOU aren't again confused with your own play with words. But you now embrace a concept of mutterings and dilusional...don't go by any mirrors.

Lest YOU forget, when discussing topic, that is done in 3rd person.

Since you are a literary as well as language scholar now. When the second person, YOU, is introduced...that only makes YOU short sheeting and out of the fine resort business.

Maybe you can rush to join WallMart in purchasing a historic battle ground where Lee confronted Grant...to be the future site of a grand WallMart store. Or maybe join them in union busting as well. Since to guarantee your own preference is most important, even when in the sports arena. Right?

I can't help it if when you are reading something, you are really telling yourself what is in your mind instead. Don't worry, the printed word based upon sport and related pursuits won't infect even a feeble mind. No matter how many words are used in description. And if one did NOT employ a standard of listening to a number of fifteen or twenty...tops, then more complex observations can actually be described. Oooops, I forget you claim to own right to that ability of selection now. You have appointed yourself hall monitor of content and also length.

You see, I have to immediately doubt the motivation of a poster who places merit on style or length as opposed to actual content. This even at the loss of individual creativity in expression. That's kind of like a German citizen upon the unification of both the Communist and free Germanies wanting a Hitler to take control...but ONLY a little one.

Naw, no thanks. Don't like my comments, then leave them alone...your loss.

Know what ex-President Clinton was singing after leaving the Oval Office and Monica Lewinsky? Yep....HI HO!
