It's a 10-6 year on paper. But given the organizational dysfunction, I sort of expect it to be 5-11 or 4-12.

While this is true, you have to remember that dysfunctional is normal is Big D so that gives everyone a certain level of comfort with the dysfunctionallity of it all.

8-8. Miss Post season again. Lack of a dominate OL and depth depth on D.

1) Giants -- WIN 24 - 27
2) Chiefs -- WIN 13 - 20
3) Rams -- WIN 20 - 31
4) Chargers -- WIN 24 - 28
5) Denver -- LOSS 34 - 24
6) Commanders -- WIN 21 - 27
7) Eagles -- LOSS 34 - 24
8) Lions -- LOSS 31 - 28
9) Vikings -- WIN 17 - 21
10) Saints -- LOSS 34 - 31
11) Giants -- LOSS 24 - 17
12) Raiders -- WIN 17 - 31
13) Bears -- WIN 24 - 27
14) Packers -- LOSS 38 - 24
15) Commanders -- LOSS 28 - 21
16) Eagles -- WIN 28 - 31

9-7 (Put scores to show how close I think the games will be)

Games we should win (we'll be in trouble to lose these imo), Chiefs, Rams, Raiders, and Chargers. (4-0) (*WCS* 3-1)

Games that will go either way (hopefully we can go 500% +), Lions, Vikings, Saints, and Bears. (2-2) (*WCS* 0-4)

Division you always split because it's very competitive (record doesn't matter when rivals play), Commanders, Giants, and Eagles. (3-3) (*WCS* 3-3)

Games we lose unless we play flawless football, Denver, and Packers. (0-2) (*WCS* 0-2)


Record - (9-7) If we beat the Packers or Denver then I believe we'll finish (10-6).
*WCS* Record - (6-10) Our schedule will be easy to get 6 wins, so even at the *WCS* I still think we pull out at least 6 wins.

9-7.

I see upgrades here and there.
The O line cannot be worse than it was last year.
Romo has 30 million reasons to play better and to put in more hours at Valley Ranch.
Our two TE set will pay dividents.
Our D cannot be worse than last year.
It all boils down to injuries.

9-7 if we are not too weakened by injuries.
8-8 if Lee and Ware is hobbled.
7-9 if the O line and D line do poorly in the first have of the season.

I think we will go 11-5 but come on strong towards the end as the OL develops continuity. I think we will be good defensively but get better through the year as the Safeties mature.

I do think my we are in the playoffs and will be legit contenders.

Honestly I don't think we'll make it to the playoffs at 9-7. I think it's going to come down to us having to get to 10 - 6, which to do that we're gonna have to beat a solid team like the Packers, or Broncos.

What's it going to be then, eh?

The East the last few years could have been had with a 9-7 record. The key is winning the divisional games. To do it, it is likely to be necessary to sweep two of the three teams.

We will have to beat a team like that but can't lose to a team like the Chiefs or Rams. We end up losing a game like this every year.

If the scenario plays out where we have to sweep 2 of our rivals then most likely we're missing the playoffs again. I could see us maybe sweeping 1 rival, but no way IMO could we sweep 2.
I got us splitting the division with our rivals at 3-3, so to get into the playoffs we're gonna have to get a win somewhere else. I just hope Dallas doesn't chalk up those early 'easy' (still tough) win games because if they do then they're gonna have to beat a much harder opponent later down the road.

If we lose one of those games then we're gonna have to go 4-2 in the division, or beat 2 tough opponents outside the division. Which is MUCH harder to do then to beat the Rams or Chiefs. Hopefully this year they take care of business against those easier teams and not put themselves in a early hole.

You s
I know we haven't went though camp yet. I know we haven't seen the rookies yet, and we haven't seen what the offense is going to look like with Calahan calling the plays. We are more healthy right now than we have been in a long time. (KNOCK LOUD ON WOOD)...But with where we are right now, and what we know, and even what we hope, what's your season record predictions?

1) Giants -- WIN
2) Chiefs -- WIN
3) Rams -- WIN
4) Chargers -- WIN
5) Denver -- Loss
6) Commanders -- WIN
7) Eagles -- Loss
8) Lions -- WIN
9) Vikings -- WIN
10) Saints -- Loss
13) Bears -- Loss
14) Packers -- WIN
15) Skins -- Loss
16) Eagles -- WIN

We end the regular season 10-6. If we stay healthy, we will surprise a lot of teams this year and could end up with 11 or 12 wins. On the other hand, if we have the same issues with injuries as we always do, and we don't give the OL time to mesh together by playing with the same unit most of the year, we could also end up 7-9 or 8-8 again. I know I'm being a homer, but c'mon, does anyone else feel It's about time for the COWBOYS to get some bounces our way, and for some of the injury bug luck to change? It's the time of year where I feel as hopeful as I will all year long. My excitement is building..This is why JJ is the smartest owner in the NFL. As much as I have bashed him over the past two decades, every year at this time, I'M right back where he wants me, LOL..........................................GO COWBOYS!!!



You skipped from 10-13....leaving off the 2nd giants game, and someone else...

I don't remember who it was, I saw someone on ESPN say the Cowboys would go a meaningless 9-7

I'd like to see us get through training camp injury free (or at least see what injuries we DO have) before making any real prediction(s). .02

Not buying this as a team that can stop a good passing offense or stop a good pass rush until I see otherwise.

Why all of ya'll have us losing to an old *** Petyon n Broncos? Last I checked Peyton doesn't really have our "Number" so to speak. We'll beat the Broncos because Dez wants redemption on them for taking Thomas over him; goes over 150 receiving and 2TD'S, my prediction.
