Well, I hope to see him back contributing soon.
Me too. I consider him a friend and I love his contributions as I have already said.

i dont gamble and if i did, i wouldnt bet on my favorite teams

its a good thing you don't, you would lose money, at least on this one and probably most of the rest...

Believing in this team with absolute blind faith does not make you a better fan, in fact it makes you a worse fan.

Thanks but don't mention it, because it was really rather simple. With the schedule and their tendency to swoon late, there was no chance they'd go 5-0 or 4-1 to close the season. I just hope they don't tank the whole month and end up missing the playoffs altogether.
There is this team that had a new Head Coach. They went 2-3 in December his first year, then the next year they went 2-2.

How do you think they will do in his 3rd year? Bless me with your wisdom on football please biggest man on the Internet.

And reward the ingrates and cheapshot artists? Why would he? I can't think of anyone who does more for this forum but is appreciated less.

I appreciate his contributions as much as the next guy but labeling people with a dissenting opinion as his "groupies" doesn't exactly win him any brownie points.

I'd need more information. I do know there is this team that has only won more than 2 of it's last 5 games twice in the last 13 years. Odds are with their schedule and that tendency, that they will win less than 3 over their final 5 again this year. Wanna make a bet on that? I have a feeling they definitely won't go 4-1 or 5-0. I guess it's just another lucky shot in the dark though.

its not blind faith.....last year i had no faith in the team. in fact i hate last year's team. all they did was go through the motions and played without heart, fire, or unity.

I believe in this year's team. All we need to do is just get over the hump and win one.....we win one, and I feel we will go off on the rest of the schedule. The monkey will be off our back, we will no longer press.

Quite frankly, I just see karma being on our side on Saturday. I mean, how much karma can the Saints have, week in and week out? They have to be running low.....unless they are living off voodoo.

Still, I see us beating the Saints........and that win will carry us for at least 3 more wins.....then we might fizzle out.

So because TO is gone and Brooking is here thats what has changed this team?

Year 1 they were 7-9. Year 2 they were 8-8. Tell me their 3rd year trend for this coach.

Don't forget, Wade changed. He even said so himself.

I have no doubt it is something spectacular.

Last year's team was disgusting. Tank Johnson, Pacman...just a total circus show.

I feel like our team is very close, but just need those last couple of parts to make it over the top -- coaching staff.

Sorry Hos, but I'm not basing the Cowboys situation on just two years of history. Nor am I just basing it on a trend. I've stated it many times now. Do I need to type it slower or bigger?

I have no idea. I have never maintained I can read trends. Bach apparently can. I have my doubts. I could give him a half dozen scenarios and I doubt he could accurately predict any of them.

This completely flies in the face of your claims of seeing trends.

I am not shocked that when presented with a challenge other than bashing the Cowboys you can't.

How is it bashing the Cowboys when it's right on the money, if not a little optimistic? Please explain this to me.

Here is my first post about this from over a week ago:

http://cowboyszone.com/forums/showpost.php?p=3113560&postcount=58

And here's the reasoning for it:

http://cowboyszone.com/forums/showpost.php?p=3113768&postcount=62

Now tell me what was so irrational about it or how I was "bashing" the Cowboys.

Sorry Hos that many of us could see it coming a mile away all the while you were pumping sunshine and making 4-1 predictions that flew in the face of logic. Please don't get upset with me for having a better feel for the team than you seem to have.

All of this is completely irrelevant. If you cannot read the trend would you at least give me your best "educated guess?"

I don't think it is asking too much.
