due to life happenings I didnt watch last nights game. ( please do not revoke my fan card )
I have read tons of thoughts today on how bad we looked, how we were
mismatched, outplayed and generally smacked in the mouth.
The last 2 weeks i had read tons of stuff on how good we looked, how good
our schemes were and all that.
I had already said I thought we would go 11-5 and make it to the NFC
Championship game. I stick with my thoughts.
Has anybody here changed their thoughts on where we end up this year ?
I will be away from here for a while today and look forward to reading ya'lls
answers when i return. ( actually i just wanna see how many fair weather nancies we have ). :D

Based on one pre-season game?

Absolutely not. My view is that we'll have a better season than last year (10-11 wins) and I'm sticking by it regardless how we look during the pre-season.

We are always a 10-6/11-5 team until proven otherwise.

I like this thread.

I like to see all the people who want to jump ship after a pre-season game so I can know who to take seriously and who not.

Before yesterday's game I thought we'd end up 13-3 but now I think we're probably lookin' at 2-14 or so.

I never really had much of a thought on how the Cowboys would end up.

But, if this is what you're asking, my opinion of the Cowboys hasn't changed. Just threw up a warning flag, if that.

Yeah, I didn't change my mind either. But I never thought about NFC championship or anything personally. I was thinking more like 8-8 and 9-7, but the first two games, pre-season games, kind of were proving me wrong seemed like.

I just don't know why I am more pessimistic about this season. Only thing I can think of is Romo doubt for me, and Wade Phillips doubt too. Either way, I can't pin it on one thing.

Only thing that will erase that doubt for me, will be how they play in December this year. Till then I will still doubt Cowboys, or will have that nagging doubts about them.

Yeah, I went from uws having the #32 pick in the draft, to we will have the #1 pick....oh, wait, we will still get the #1 from Cleveland. So I maintain a hopeful #32 also. But until we prove otherwise, I'll stay with my 11-5 and a playoff win.

:laugh2:

As others have said, they're still projected as a 10-11 win team. A preseason loss doesn't change that in my mind.

I'm not changing my prediction. I'm assuming that TNew will be healthy. Our defense is good and will allow us to beat some bad teams. We have some good weapons on offense that will help us.


Romo wont allow us to win the big games down the stretch. He just doesn't have what it takes to get the boys to the next step.

I've predicted anywhere from 7-9 to 9-7. That two game swing could be decided by our kicking game.

Last night backed up my predictions more than anything since the Saints game last year.

From what I read people say you like Bledsoe, well Romo got us into the playoffs and we lost cause he dropped the ball while during the field goal and not because of his play at Qb, but Bledsoe was the main reason we never got to the playoffs and that's why e was benched.

You're being generous...after last night I think we'll be lucky to win a game. We could actually end up with the top 2 picks of the draft next year, and get the top 2 LB's available.

I had a change of heart. If refs continue to allow blatant blocks in the back, we're done for!

Frankly, after the Indy win, I didn't think much of it either. I ended up buying into the Denver win last week largely b/c this team was nothing but sour grapes.

Guys-please quit watching ESPN-it's largely these boneheads that keep making a big deal out of meaningless preseason games.

Ive always thought of this team as a 9 to 12 wins one, and Im sticking with that.

As I think that NFC East is a competitive one again, divisional games will be the difference between who goes to PO and who not.

Im not really concerned bout Romo or our Offense, we have too much firepower to Romo to struggle or the O-Line to do so, Im more concerned bout how quick and good our D can understand the Phillips way and how Ellis can perfom. That will do for our team this season.

I'm not into the predicting bidnezz...and I still say "something special" is taking place with this team...

I don't care what happens in preseason, I just worry/care what is going to happen in the 1st game, then the 2nd game, then the 3rd, then...so on and so on...because I have no other options!

Just gotta go wit the flow...

;)
