Damien Woody says the Cowboys go 10-6 and make the playoffs. This is after knowing about the Witten injury. What say you guys and gals? I don't see that right now but this is still pre season.
 
I think he's on bath salts. 8-8 we stay where we've been for 15 years
 
Let's take a look at the field...

The NFC will prove to be a very competitive and tough side of the NFL.

But, Green Bay will come back a little towards the pack, this season.

Detroit has a lot of immature problems off the field, and that will work some of it's way back onto the field.

New Orleans, has a truck load of problems that will be clogging process throughout this season.

Chicago has a bundle of potential, but is still Chicago. And it has to now weather if Brian Urhlacher will play, or at what point.

San Francisco, will be pressed to expand upon previous success. And there has to be no lingering questions as to Smith as their top leader. They were knocked off their saddle last season, and that sometimes lingers.

Philadelphia is scary talented again this year. Logic is that it's head coach will be very concentrated this season. The team put together a very storng finish to last season, and if given but another game, would have replaced the Giants on their own path. They, although, are but a Vick injury for significant time, to fall back into the pack.

The Giants, early in season, they tend to fall apart. We shall see how they rise to the starting whistle this year. They still have secondary woes and one still wonders if their running game will diminish somewhat as well. I think the Cowboys match up and can contest these Giants now. And if not for defensive problems, would have at the least, split last season.

Now, the Falcons, well, they have faltered going from December to the playoffs. And their running back and workhorse, Turner, is getting very long of tooth in the NFL. That may prove out to be a point of problems this season. We will have to see if concentrating on the passing game works for this team.

Now, right now, I see Dallas in the very middle of that mix and blend. The thing that will affect the Cowboys most, is not opponent, but the injury and elimination of multiple players that are it's real stars. That will forge direction for them. My opinion.

We're between 7-9 and 10-6 barring any terrible injuries.


9-7 won the Superbowl a year ago so whatever gets us in the playoffs i'll be happy with.
 
my prediction was 10-6. i'll stick with it for now.

Yeah, I agree. Pretty much like a bunch of other teams in the league. With a little luck, who knows.:starspin

Exactly. We were 7-4 with a worse roster last year and on our way to the division title before the wheels came off.


I feel much better about our defense this year and I do feel like the Oline will be better as well.



What usually ends up being the Cowboys problem is self inflicted mistakes. Not the starting center or 3rd wide receiver.

One only has to objectively look at last year's games as proof. Excruciating! But gives me hope knowing that the mistakes can be corrected. We were never flat out overmatched. We can play with anybody. :star:
 
I think were between 9-7 & 11-5. I dont see us being worse then last year. I also think the defense wins us some games and we make the playoffs. I also predict we beat the steelers by 10.
 
I'm going 11-5. Until I see our OL struggle with Smith,Livings,Costa/Arkin,Bernadeau,Free all lined up, I'm not quite as worried as others. I know it looked a mess in pre-season, but I think Miles and Dez will spread the defense out, and we will see running lanes open up.
Call me crazy, but that's what Im sticking with.

You know what? I kind of believe him. We lost several games last year because we weren't able to hold on to the lead in the 4th quarter.

With a revamped defense, and Ryan having the time to install the necessary scheme to run it, I think were gonna be better than last year.

Sure Oline is a problem and 3rd wide receiver is a problem. But when the season starts, and everyone on offense is healthy, we are going to be a tough team to stop.

13-3, deal with it.

Lol. I was going to come in with 12-4. But I'll admit that that's wildly optimistic and relies on the team finally fixing things they've been unable to fix properly the last two seasons.

But I really do like this squad. And I like the direction we're heading. I'd feel better if we'd seen more stability along the OL and if Leary or Arkin could demonstrate they're capable of playing in a pinch. I'll also feel better when one or two of our WRs step up to NFL borderline-starting caliber. Until that happens, though, I"m officially sticking with my 10-6 prediction from the last two years.

Heck, that's undiluted optimism. Wonder why that would come from a Soldier? ;)
 
10-6 if we can cut down on penalties and our guard signings get healthy and pay off. We have a tough schedule and play in an incredibly tough division. 10-6 would be a heck of an accomplishment.
 
Right now I'm only interested in going 1-0 with an opening game win vs the NY Giants. If we do that then I will predict we go 2-0 after that game. :D
 
He's just saying that b/c he was on Garrett's center short list.
