One of the local sports radio guys in Austin believes this team was motivated by the leaving of BP last year. That motivation will not be there this year.

Season record 8-8. Good-bye Wade.

I think Dallas is better than 8-8, their talent alone will allow them to win 8 games, however if they went 11-5 or 10-6 it would not shock me because of the tough schedule. I believe they'll be a better team because of it and will advance in the playoffs.

I can see 11-5 but 8-8 is only happening if they have a boat load of injuries. The local sports guy is a Colin Cowherd. An idiot who says stupid things in order to get attention for being stupid.

I would be really happy with 11 wins and hope all the starters make it to the playoffs .

If this team goes 8-8 -- for any reason other than an early season-ending injury to Romo and, perhaps, T.O. -- the whole team deserves to be let go.

The offense rolls up yards at ease, we've got a great special teams (minus the all-important coverage aspect of it), and the defense has talent and potential. Sure, we need to see more from the defense, as it has looked soft, but you have to wonder if some of that can be attributed to this being the preseason and the calls are vanilla. We'll see.

I stopped listening to that ****** last season, I advise all to do the same.

With the way our special teams play I'll say 10-6 or 11-5.

You know I have to agree with that statement... Which is sad because in order to win a championship you need all three phases to be playing extremely well.

Anything can happen injuries can change the season so this prediction isnt unrealistic.

My prediction is 12-4 or 11-5

The fact that 'anything can happen' doesn't make any prediction unrealistic. In this case, though, this is just a lame attempt to get negative attention, it's not really a prediction.

Then its simple. Shut up and don't respond to it.

No need to bicker and cry about it.

Um. Thanks, I guess. If it's alright with you, I'll just point it out when I think someone's making a statement because they want a reaction and not because they mean what they say.

Dallas could easily match its record of 13-3 of a year ago. 8-8 is a absolute joke. Prossman

I'll be happy if they play their best week in and week out and let the chips fall where they may, record-wise. They have the talent to throw down a good record. Leadership? That's another story and is a large reason they flop late in the year and in the playoffs.

i dont know that sportscasters reason for saying 8-8.
BUT...the Boys could easily go 8-8 or worse.....OR they could
have another great record.
you cant base this year on last year, you cant base it on who "should"
beat who. you have to produce, week in and week out.

thats the beauty of sports and why i enjoy watching them. i dont even like
predictions and put no stock in them.

Would not shock me either. My feeling has nothing to do with schedule though. Winning is tough in the NFL against any team. Any given Sunday.

It wont take a boatload. Any of the following single injuries would do it.
  • Romo
  • Owens
  • Witten
  • Ware
