Let us not beat around the bush here. We have been a mediocre team that has regressed while most of the league has gotten better. Even if you are just standing still, the rest of the league will pass you by. And we have been going backwards.

So, how bad are we going to be? I think 4 to 5 wins tops. I think the team will play hard for the coach. I think Romo is past his prime, can't move like he once did and is no longer a top tier quarterback. I think the defense will be horrible, albiet probably not as statistically as bad as last year, because the offense wont force our opponents to attack us as much to beat us.

I think Garrett is gone after this year. I think our scouting department, however, is one of our real weaknesses, but our owner continues to trust the same old geezers hes had for 100 years.

Speaking of our owner, I think he is entering senility. Not to be harsh, but I expect decisions to get worse from here on out. I think Jerry as to the point where he is ok with losing, as long as the franchise becomes more valuable. Hes happy with his investment. But all the testosterone and vitality that led to those 90s championships, that is all gone now.

Stephen is a muppet of his father, so I don't see much changing there. Even when Jerry passes, Stephen will run the team in the same, "owner knows best," philosophy.

I know this thread seems harsh. But, Im not complaining actually. I am also not going to stop being a fan. I am just resolved to the fact that there is a decent chance the Cowboys won't win another championship in the next 20 years. Seriously.

I expect Dallas to win the division. 5-1 in the division last season tells me this team can win the division.

10-6, 1st place NFC East.

No we are not. We are a below average team with no depth. Our in-game coaching is sub-par, our QB is oldish and less mobile. We have a decent OL, in theory, a decent receiving corps, in theory and an average running back. Our defense was one of the worst in history last year and is missing 3 of its best players from that squad.

I know we want to believe. But this thread is about talking the truth.

You don't have a monopoly on the truth, home skillet. Nothing is etched in stone yet. I tend to believe the Cowboys will be 6-10, but I'm not going to dismiss anyone's prediction.

If we're being realistic, I think we're looking at 6-10 or 7-9 unless Romo absolutely dominates and ascends to an elite level of QB play that makes up for the coaching shortcomings and our historically bad defense.

He gave his prediction not yours. You have thrown in the season that is your choice. If you are going to post something like this don't expect others to feel the same.

I think you know deep down inside. Its ok to suspend that in the excitement of a new season.

I know deep down inside this team can win the East. Dallas had chances to put the east away last season and failed to do so I make no excuses but I also know they showed themselves as very capable of taking down NY 2 times, Washington 2 time and Philly with Romo in the lineup and had the opportunity to beat them with Orton.

Again how you feel that is your right I don't buy into all your venting but that is you and how you see it.
