People, the Window is Now!

Yes, the window is now and Room is getting older, but this "new" NFL revolves around getting healthy and hot at about week 12-14. You then ride that to the playoffs like the Ravens, Seahawks or Giants.

That's exactly right. Like the Ravens, who roared into the playoffs last season by going 1-4 in their last 5 games. Seattle did go into the playoffs on a hot streak...and lost in the divisional round.

Well, that's the ideal situation. And the Ravens sure weren't quiet by any means in the playoffs..

A lot of very good points.
With the exception of a running game, ah feel our offense is running at all cylinders.

However, our proud and defiant Last Man Standing defense will eventually succomb to some good QBs and running games coming up.
This is my favorite defense of late but even I know it cannot weather the rest of the year.
That is our achiles heel. No one saw so many injuries coming (and slackers like Rat and Spence) .
But this team will be great to watch this year, no doubt about it.

so what do you think about trading for AD?

Because I truly believe this season and next are our window of opportunity, I'd be in favor for trading away draft picks (including the #1) for a game-changing RB or DL. Yes I would.

I'm not one of those always-positive fans, but this team is good.

• Our offensive line is not at the level of the 90's, but it's the best we've had in a long time.
• Tony Romo is at his best.
• Our receiving corps rivals the best the Cowboys have ever had - even without sMiles.
• We have one of the best TE's to ever play the game.
• We have one of the best LB's to ever put on the Cowboy's uniform.
• We have one of the best DE's to ever play the game (if healthy).
• We have one of the best WR's in the NFL and he has hit his stride.
• DeMarco Murray, if he can stay healthy and despite the opinions of many, is an above average NFL RB.
• Our 3 CB's are above average.
• The coaching staff seems to be on the same page, and they're a solid group (shockingly, pressure from GM Jerry for Garrett to turn over play-calling duties seems to have been the best move for everybody).

This season and next are the best chance we'll have to go to the Big Show. Here are the reasons:

1. The NFC East is incredibly weak, and the entire NFC is below average.
2. Romo ain't getting any younger. Sure, he may be great for five more years, but you never know.
3. Waters has made a huge difference. We've only got him this year, and hopefully next (assuming his body holds up).
4. Ware ain't getting any younger. Assuming he gets back to his old self this year, his body is obviously breaking down. He is still great, but very well may not be in three years.
5. Guys due to become free agents at the end of 2015: Dez, Tyron Smith, Bruce Carter, Doug Free, Ron Leary, DeMarco Murray, Dwayne Harris. Assuming these guys keep playing at their current level, there is no way we'll be able to afford them all. That's 5 offensive starters, including 3 offensive line starters and 2 who should make the Pro Bowl this year.

It's now or never. I would accept any move made TODAY that would make this team better NOW. Let's do this thing.

I agree with most of what you said. But saying the NFC is weak is hardly correct. Seattle. SF. Chicago. Green Bay. And I am going to say us because I feel pretty ok about it right now. Subject to change though. lol
