Ok first I think we already know all were gonna know, or most of it, to predict early games,
Barring any major injuries or trades etc.
First 2 games,will Dallas win both? or is 1-1 more likely.

2016 reg season

Week 1:Vs Giants...... Giants like playing at jerry world and tend to do well here
Week 2 :At Commanders........ I dont think they can stop the dallas offense
Week 3 :Vs Bears....... I dont think they can stop the dallas offense
Week 4:At 49ers....... I dont think they can stop the dallas offense

So I will predict 3-1
Will have to think about scoring, but the first 2 should be close.

The last 2 time the Giants played here I think we won. I will need to look that up.
Also the Giants have never beaten the Cowboys on opening day. The record is something like 8-0 or 7-0.

Give me the win over the Giants.
Commanders in for a rude awaking on a division won by default. Will be O vs. O. Give me the win.
Bears, agree, can't stop our O. Give me the win
49ers, I think this will be a close game for whatever reasons, but agree, they can't stop our O. Give me the win.

We win the 1st 2 games against division rivals, there is no reason we can't win the next 2 games against weaker teams.

4-0, as I posted earlier.

I don't see our defense stopping anyone at least the first few games.

2016 reg season

Week 1:Vs Giants. Loss
Week 2 :At Commanders. Loss
Week 3 :Vs Bears. Win
Week 4:At 49ers. Win

2-2

Well Den the next 2 are GB and Cinn, so might as well say 2-4 ?

If we go 1-3 the season is over? Tell that to the Panthers 2 years ago.

That is my opinion buddy. No doubt you can find some 1-3 teams that still made the playoffs. If the Cowboys cant even get out of the gate at least 2-2 with a healthy team then that means to me that they will struggle. Schedule is a cake walk early on so it will tell me a lot. And with marginal depth and injuries mounting as the season goes on I just don't see it happening.

fwiw
Giants haven't won in Dallas since 2012.

hmmm well that is 3 in a row!
But they should have lost the game last year, where they squeaked out a 27-26 win thanks to coughlin
and eli.

It's very fortunate our first 4 games are against (projected) non-elite teams. We'll get the Doobie Brothers back just in time for that brutal Den/GB/Cincy stretch.

Doobie Brothers .......lol that is a good one!

Yeah., Im with you.


Loss vs The Gnats.

then 3 straight wins. Altough I could see us dropping the skins game easily too. Everything reasonable and all logic, goes out the window when we play them

But I think realistically 3-1 is where we should be....

I'm just looking to keep pace this year, which shouldn't be hard in the NFCE. Then get hot down down the stretch. I think that is very doable.....if everything falls into place.....no more drug suspensions.,,,,, no major injuries.... EE taking over offense.. and we cant have one of those NFCE teams getting hot.....and putting together a season. That happens, and we are done.....hopefully,........................it us, that do that.

I'll be disappointed with ANYTHING less than a 3-1 start and believe we should go 4-0. We play the Giants a home in the opener. That should be a W. The Skins on the road will be tough, but I think we're the better team. Still, crazy things usually happen in that game. Chicago and San Fran just aren't very good.

1. The Giants have the 4th ranked offense, it was their defense that sucked last year. They did a very good draft for defense. Giants 27 - Cowboys 24
2. The Commanders are still the class of the Div and improved greatly in the draft. Deadskins 31 - Cowboys 21
3. OK, Dallas learns to play football by game three. Dallas 31 - Bears 17
4. Defense learns how to play defense, offense goes off on SF. Dallas 34 - SF 17

Record after 4 games 2-2
Record after 16 games 10 - 6 makes playoffs (Romo plays for 16 games):):thumbup:

Commanders are the class of the division?? :lmao: They won by default last season because our best players were injured

I can't take credit for it, I've seen a few others call them that on here a while back, although I can't remember who.

Another thing - the Cowboys have gotten off to slow starts the past two years on offense, and that can be partly attributed to Romo and Dez. In 2014 Romo was clearly not himself the first game against SF because he'd practiced so little recovering from his back surgery. And last season against the Giants Dez looked like a rookie again after missing so much time in the offseason due to the contract dispute. Having all the key players entering the season healthy (fingers crossed) and with a full slate of practices will really help the offense early on.

I got 3-1 as well.


We'll lose to the Giants just because we usually look completely unprepared to start the season year after year.

Week 2 is when we start giving hope for the season.

2 and 2 end up 8 and 8 like most garrett coached teams offense will be pretty good defense and coaching will let us down.

Defensive woes. Can't pressure anyone early in the season.

35-31 Giants
33-28 Skins
24-20 Boys
42-28 Boys

Skins game will in no way be an easy victory on the road. If we lose a game, it might be that one. Giants game will determine whether we go 3-1 or 2-2. Knats game will come down to coaching. We need to be able to pull our nice new toy out of the box and watch him shine. Which means getting him up to speed and putting enough new wrinkles to catch the Giants enough off guard to pull it out. I dont see us being able stop the Giants so our run game better be in top form and Zeke better be ready to go with 30 touches in that game. A big part of that will be on the coaching staff to get prepared.

I like it....I'm on aboard with giving this guy the ball as much as possible.....I don't really want to hear about "Future, and wear and tear".....I just don't want to hear it....

I would love to see him touch it 30. That's what I want out of this offense...

But, even I concede....30 is a lot..... maybe get Morris, DMC involved a little...but only if these guys earn it......and that includes EE.
