[BigDFan5]

Yes its early and FA and the draft haven't happened just wondering the general feeling on the team as it is right now.

 

[Rampage]

10.

I put down 12, because I think we'll grind out 10-12 wins depending on injuries. I really like our running game with Barber, Jones and Choice. The schedule is a little easier than last year and the new stadium will definitely be rocking for those 8 games too.

I hate it, but I think the "slide" is on...................

I say 8-8. I have zero faith in the coaching staff, and I think the "gut" of this team is demoralized after the 13-3 "home field" debacle of '07 and given what happened last year.

I'm still and always will be a die-hard, and bleed Cowboy silver & blue. I'm just not in the mood to be "left at the alter" again.

Whose the worst team on that schedule? The Raiders or Kansas City? After 2008, there's no doubt in my mind that we could find a way to lose those two games.

This is my opinion if I had a "gun to my head", or if I were betting the kids college money. So I don't want to hear the obligatory and predictable "you're not a real fan" crap. The stage is set for too many things to go even MORE wrong this year. This off-season has to be one of the worst I've ever seen with regard to division, gossip, Jerry-this and T.O.-that.........

The camp and the fan base is split and taking sides over several issues. From Jerry's meddling, Phillips/Garrett incompetence, T.O., what do we REALLY have in Romo, three RB's capable of starting, and of course the continuing secondary problems.

Sorry for the rant. All you asked for was a simple prediction. But I wanted to give my reason to assuage any hollering at me for "not believing".

I said 8-8, with plus or minus 2 wins. Since team has way too much talent to be sub .500, unless injuries devaste the team again. But with coaching staff and genious Jerry at helm, I just don't see much future or present for the team. Plus on top of it, Tony Romo just seemed to have regressed in his attitude. I never was a big fan of Tony, but losing faith year after year. At the same time, there is no other choice.

 

[Bob Sacamano]

the next 0-16 baby!

 

[RS12]

with the current coaching staff and toxic locker room, I'll use the linear regression method and say 5 wins.

I hear ya, but I think our running game will be the big difference this year...not Tony or TO etc.

11 or 12 wins...easy.

 

[Kaika]

We are definitely better than a 50 - 50 team





















9 & 7

 

[WoodysGirl]

the next 0-16 baby!

 

[Yeagermeister]

19-0 :d

 

[5Stars]

If T.O. is on the team the Cowboys go undefeated! If he is gone, the Cowboys win maybe 1 or 2 games...maybe! Or so I hear....

I think there is a poison in the locker room and on the field. No, I am not referring to TO per se, but rather the entire atmosphere being fostered by Jerry Jones. I think the players are going to consciously or subconsciously, push back. I think the team in general knows that they are not getting what is needed from the coaching staff or from Jerry and have since decided to collect their paychecks and hope to show Jerry the stupidity of his ways. A lot of looking out for #1.

7wins, 9 losses.

 

[5Countem5]

It would really be nice to keep this thread available all year...

 

[hairic]

14 or more.

But I'm cheating a bit: I'm counting preseason too.

 

[Canadian BoyzFan]

Sure looks like a 9 to 11 win team.

 

[Vintage]

3 of the past 4 years we've won 9 games.

If I'm pushed to guess, we are a 9 win team.
