Plenty of time to worry about Witten.

"That's putting a lot of stock in the greatness of two players with a combined history of 8 sacks, isn't it?"

That actually makes me feel a little bit better about the suspensions. Especially if Lawrence--who's becoming a good player--somehow manages to get his game reduced.

You 'shoot for' 16 wins, not 10. By shooting for 16, you might get 10 (or more...).

11......to be safe

10 may get it done. But your on the road the following week in the playoffs(if you advance)....what fun is that?

Although Gregory and Lawrence are suspended keep in mind the cowboys go up against four weak teams in the first four games so I think they be fine. Will they have trouble during those games? Probably so considering they go up against Commanders and giants but they should be okay until Gregory and Lawrence come back.

There is no such thing as an easy schedule in the NFL.

I don't think Dallas has missed on TE.

Anthony Fasano, Martellus Bennett, John Phillips, James Hanna, and Gavin Escobar would all make good TE's if Wiiten had not been the #1 TE. Some have moved on and have had success elsewhere, and some are still waiting for their opportunity.

The mistake that is made is expecting the next TE to be like Witten. The next TE for Dallas will not be as good as Witten. We, the fans have to come to grips with this soon to be fact.

The magic number is one more than everyone else. Lesson learned from last year... two suspended starters on the D can be overcome if you have Romo on the O.

 

[PA Cowboy Fan]

You mean it isn't 8.

The real question is how good will our pass rush be in 2016 without Hardy who was double teamed.

We have no real home field advantage so playing away is not as bad as it sounds.....

If the Cowboys stay relatively healthy this season I think they either sweep the east or come within 1 of sweeping. This was a really weak division last year and they still look pretty weak to me.

 

[Bullflop]

I think we may be hard pressed to win more than nine games, but if everything goes well as far as injuries and such, we might win 10. Maybe.

Sometimes the whole OL was blocking Hardy. He was practically quadruple teamed on every play.

 

[SportsGuru80]

I'll actually say 9-11 wins will get the division title.

 

[big dog cowboy]

Never liked Cowlishaw.

 

[CF74]

11 wins...

 

[Alexander]

Will be a midget slap contest as usual.

Ten wins takes the DT.
