Better yet, lets go through the season:

@ Tampa Bay - We beat these chumps with Brad Johnson last year (W)
New York Giants - First home game at Cowboys new stadium (hyped up) (L)
Carolina - Some momentum from win over Giants, but possible loss (L)
@ Denver - Without Cutler, these guys suck (W)
@ Kansas City - not looking good (just got rid of offensive coordinator) (W)
BYE
Atlanta -possible loss here if Atlanta plays well (L)
Seattle - Seattle sucks (W)
@ Philadelphia - possible loss playing in Philly (L)
@ Green Bay - We always own the Packers (L)
Washington - The Commanders have a way of beating us at home (L)
Oakland - Oakland is crumbling with coaches punching each other (W)
@New York Giants - Giants want revenge from early season loss (L)
San Diego - Depending on how well our defense can contain Rivers (L)
@New Orleans - New Orleans has no defense (L)
@Washington - Revenge at the capitol is sweet (L)
Philadelphia - Last home game of the season against worst hated team (L)

With my scenario we go 10-6.

fixed.

Explain exactly how we go from being 9-7 to 5-11 with a healthy team?

Are you accounting for multiple injuries or something?

We went 9-7 last year and didn't have the majority of our starters in with the exception of the first 6 games. How can we do any worse with the team we have. (Especially considering the fact we don't have a prima donna WR who expects the ball to be thrown in his direction every passing play)

How many starters did we lose from last year to this year that doesn't include TO?

Wow! I'm shocked. Even in the franchise's worst years they managed a win in the division.

I'm not the most optimistic person when it comes to this season (disenchanted by the end to both the '07 and '08 seasons) and pretty much am in a "show me" state of mind when it comes to my team. BUT, I think they can manage to win a game or three or more in the division.

5 starters on defense.

LDE Marcus R. Spears
NT Jay Ratliff
RDE Chris L. Canty
LLB Greg Ellis
LILB Bradie James
RILB Zach Thomas
RLB DeMarcus Ware
LCB Terence Newman
LCB Pacman Jones
RCB Anthony Henry
SS Keith Davis
FS Ken Hamlin

Our DBs (with the exception of Newman and Pacman) sucked anyway. The only viable loss worth nothing would be Zach Thomas, who is near retirement. If Pacman wasn't such an idiot, I would mention him as well.

I was referring to all the injuries (Romo, McBriar, Newman, Felix Jones, Marion Barber)

Our defense needed something different!

Nothing like getting smashed by Philly at the end of the season last year or losing the farewell game against Baltimore on two CONSECUTIVE 70+ yard runs in the last 4 minutes of the game!

We also lost our nickel LB and best ST player in Kevin Burnett. RW was also a starter before he got hurt. You also forget to mention Ellis.

#1 Burnett was an average Nickel linebacker and he wasn't our best special teams player.

#2 Roy Williams is a bum

#3 he mentioned Greg Ellis who really wasn't a starter anymore just a 3rd down pass rusher.

Tell me what our injuries will be and I will tell you how high my confidence is. No injuries, we are Superbowl contenders.
