Merrill Hodge predicts 12-4...

Nice. Predicts 12-4 and we haven't even had the draft.
 
I say that every year. Hopefully we are both right this year...
 
absolutely crazy right now. now if we have a good draft and the ball bounces our way a few times, then yes, but rightg now I'd say we're at best 10-6.
 
Predicting a team's record before the draft is nothing short of moronic, idiotic, and absurd. That clown deserves to be fired.
 
Please. No Dream Teaming here. Leave that crap to Philthy.
 
I'm not seeing how he thinks we have improved our team enough for a 4 game swing.
 
There's nothing wrong with a bold prediction. I think I'll wait until after the Draft, but I don't think he is out of line. I see what we are trying to build here. I know that works.
 
the thing is, we look at how bad the offensive line and defensive backs were and we marvel that this team wasn't worse last year...

but this team was also very close to 12 or 13 wins *despite* not only those weaknesses but injuries all over the offense.

it's hard to imagine that team playing much worse than it did. meanwhile, it's pretty easy to imagine it playing a fair amount better than it did.

so, considering the improvements made in free agency, and given a healthy roster, i fully expect a significant improvement in 2012. whether that means a 12-4 record, i can't say. but that this will not be an 8-8 team this year is a prediction i would feel very comfortable making.
 
I think ESPN tells their employees to pump us up as world beaters so they can trash us when we don't get there.

You are quickly becoming the new Romo 2 Austin.

I'll take a stab at it.

He probably believes we were better than an 8-8 team in 2012. Perhaps closer to a 10 win team based on a number of factors.

He also probably believes we improved our team in FA. More than any other team.


Can you see "it" now?

Go do your homework and make your bed and be quiet.
 
Merrill has liked the Cowboys for a few years now. He does say some silly things, but he also has a pretty good approach to the game of football as a whole like Trent Dilfer.

It's high time that NFL Game Day crew gets handed over from Chris Berman to guys like Dilfer, Hodge, Cris Carter, etc.
