Go on record: Predict the 2006 Dallas Cowboys record.

[EastDallasCowboy]

10-6.

 

[Tripod]

10 - 6, wild card, Super Bowl victory

a little unconventional, but I think an O line that comes together later rather than sooner.

 

[jazzcat22]

I'm going with 12-4 because our Defense is really that good. The 4 games we lose, will be because of Offensive struggles at times, getting everyone on the same page in the first half of the season. That inlcudes TO / Beldsoe timing and the OL, and getting the Running game on track.

 

[SteveOS]

10-6, just because we've been so unlucky w/ the injury bug during the season lately.

 

[Vertigo_17]

I'll pick 9-7

 

[TruBlueCowboy]

Holy cow! Only 6% with less than a 10-6 record. We're either all homers, or this is gonna be a good football season!

 

[royhitshard]

11-5!!!!!!!!!!

Here is the schedule, you make the call!
These are my picks based upon what I believe we should do.

Sun 9/10 @ Jacksonville - win because we start healthy
Sun 9/17 WASHINGTON - win
Sun 9/24 BYE
Sun 10/1 @ Tennessee - win (Mr. Young, meet Mr. Ware!)
Sun 10/8 @ Philadelphia - win
Sun 10/15 HOUSTON - win
Mon 10/23 NY GIANTS - even
Sun 10/29 @ Carolina - lose
Sun 11/5 @ Washington - even
Sun 11/12 @ Arizona - win
Sun 11/19 INDIANAPOLIS - lose
Thu 11/23 TAMPA BAY - even
Sun 12/3 @ NY Giants - lose
Sun 12/10 NEW ORLEANS -win
Sat 12/16 @ Atlanta -win
Mon 12/25 PHILADELPHIA - win
Sun 12/31 DETROIT -win

That's 10 wins we should get. Injuries aside, of course.

I like it, except I think we'll lose to Atlanta, beat Tampa Bay, lose at Philly, beat the Giants at home, and for some reason (maybe bc we do it every year almost) I think we have a good chance at beating Carolina.

Plus, what's up with us always going to Carolina and Seattle?

 

[lspain1]

This is almost an over-under kind of poll. The Cowboys are better than last year's nine wins but I don't see them as dominant because the O-Line is not together yet. Too many road games early so I go with 10 wins.

Other variables to consider (or not) when looking at the schedule -

Minus side:

The Cowboys play three teams that will be coming off of bye weeks (and have to travel to two of them): Houston, @ Washington, and @ Arizona.


After hosting the NY Giants on Monday night, the Cowboys have to travel on a short week to Carolina.


After hosting the Saints, the Cowboys have to travel on a short week to Atlanta.



After hosting the Eagles on MNF, the Cowboys host the Lions.


Plus side:


The Commanders have to travel on a short week to Dallas.


After hosting a MNF game, the Eagles host the Cowboys.


After hosting the Commanders, Tampa Bay must travel to Dallas on an extra short week (Thanksgiving).

12-4 team.... NFC Championship appearance vs. Carolina... what happens after that is anyone's guess... may come down to homefield advantage.
