4-4 Now

Vikings - W (Blow out)
@NO - L (Nail bitter, we lose)
@NYG - L (We get blown out)
OAK - W (Close game)
GB - W (We shock GB)
@CHI - L (Low scoring game, we lose)
@WSH - W (High scoring game)
PHI - W (Blow out)

9-7 At the end of the season (Sucks, this really could've been a 11/12 win team)

My thinking is we'll win one game out of the GB/NO/CHI game, with a win most likely against CHI or at home facing GB. I think we'll go 2-1 in our division, though I'm not sure who the lose will come from. I think we steam roll Minnesota coming off an emotional lose from the Lions, and we'll also beat Oakland convincingly.

I will stick with my preseason prediction along with more of the same mediocre play, 8-8

The way injuries are taking a toll on the defense and with Caliborne now out...and to quote Frank Gleiber.."its gonna take a miracle"..... Im going to go with 8-8. We will beat and lose to somebody we shouldn't.....and in the process probably set the NFL record for defensive futility.

OAK - Win
GB - Win.
@CHI - Win.

9-7 finish with the NFCE and we ride a 5 game winning streak right into the NFC Championship game.

This defense is historically bad against good QBs, and the Cowboys face 2 more elite (Brees, Rodgers), 2 more decent (Manning, Griffin III), 2 Terrible (Ponder/Freeman, Barkley/Foles), and 2 unpredictable (Pryor, Cutler/McCown).

Why would they be anything other than 4-4 over the rest of the season?

8-8 and a #4 seed with a home playoff game vs. SF where they get blown out by double digits.

What is the record for a defense giving up 400 yard passers in a season. So far, 4 have done it. I bet 6-8 by end of year.

i just see that we'll win at least one of these really close games that we've played against good teams.

we never get blown out, which is always a positive i guess. just can't close games.

its puzzling.

The gravitational pull of this team will always bring them to 7-9. Not sure how they get there but they will. I have a message to Bill Parcells....... you can call them losers again.

I predict 8-8, my dog hating me cause I scream at the TV and he's confused, thinking I'm yelling at him all the time. My neighbors wondering what's happening at my house. And my blood presure keeps going thru the roof.
I really thought this year we would turn that proverbial corner - we have not, and it sucks !

On Sunday morning, if you asked me to rank the final 9 games in order of difficulty, I would have siad:

  1. at New Orleans
  2. at Detroit
  3. Green Bay at home
  4. at Washington
  5. at New York (now that the D is better)
  6. at Chicago (if Cutler plays move up to 4th)
  7. Philly at home
  8. Oakland at home
  9. Minnesota at home
So if Dallas loses next week, it could be real trouble the rest of the way.
They could possibly win the division by winning 4 of the remaining games, but I'd feel a lot better about the team if they won 5 fo them.
They should, imo.
That would be 9-7 (but 7-9 would not totally shock me)

Cowboys will end 8-8. They lose to decent teams and beat bad teams - definition of mediocre.

@NO - L
@NYG - W
OAK - W
GB - L
@CHI - W (Cutlers backup looks just as good as him.. but Lance Briggs being out can really hurt them. 50/50game)
@WSH - W (No telling what happens in this game)
PHI - W

This is the way I see it.

i want to believe this.

Logically... looking at the talent and schedule on paper, we should finish just like you predict. But we should be at LEAST 2 games above .500 with the schedule we have now.
