Read this for a laugh. 8-8 prediction for Dallas next year by Seattle Blog

There's not a chance I'm reading anything from a site called "fieldgulls.com".

 

[CATCH17]

What suburb of Seattle did you live in??? just kidding....correct, each year is different and we all gotta wait and see..but I place odds on this doom and gloom...

I mean.. I would too..

I haven't looked at our schedule but I get pretty close to our W/L record just based on our schedule. I had us winning 11 games last year.



The problem with this franchise is let downs after big years. Something doesn't go according to plan and we just never adjust.

 

[Setackin]

All it would take is dak to have a sophomore slump and Dallas to miss on defensive players they pick up in the off season... After 2015, I'll never say the playoffs/good season are a guarantee.

 

[Gameover]

At least Risen would be happy!

 

[Gameover]

Dallas does face a more difficult scheduled on paper. The NFC East and AFC West were easily the best two divisions in football this season. Plus GB, Seattle and Atlanta. The Cowboys could be a better team and still miss the playoffs in 2017.

They could be a better team and win less games, but they won't be a better team and miss the playoffs.

11 games wins this division next season. The Giants offense is gonna get better with a QB who is showing signs of age? No gonna happen, they have to face the same teams we do. Minus GB and Atl, but NO or Tampa will be no easy win for them. Easily one of the worst 11 win teams ive ever seen.

Skins? Offense is good but Cousins' can take you so far, and no matter who we have on defense, Rod will get more out of our defense then whoever is coaching the Skins defense.

Eagles? The one team that can potentially get to 11 wins(outside of us) but that depends on the QB, because their defensive personnel never lives up to the hype.

Seattle
Arizona
Oakland

I cant wait til next season: 12-4

Make no mistake about it: More and more of these predictions will pop up

 

[Doomsay]

We will have a lot of holes to fill, not sure you get all that done in one year. Jaylon is an unknown and I wouldn't count on T Crawford, D Law or Tapper to ever be healthy, Gregory is gone.... need to spend resources to find DE's with bottom of the round draft picks..

- got to resign or replace Carr, Clay, Church and Wilcox in the 2ndary.....

On offense, resign Z Mart, find a RT tackle, backup TE and resign or replace Leary & Twill and Trade Romo & find his replacement.

That's a lot.

I think those knuckleheads over there need to get off our jock and worry about their own problems:

[vlad]

It's hard to say. If our D doesn't get noticeably improved, I can see it. It's a tough schedule, and I don't know if we can go another season with our offense being our defense.

Dude, quit being reasonable.

 

[Proximo]

Some of ya'll are seriously underestimating the "Dak and Zeke" affect. We are going to be in the playoffs next season unless something catastrophic happens injury wise.

 

[risco]

You never know from 1 year to the next.

That's why it was super important for us to take advantage of what we had this past Sunday.

Homefield against a banged up team that didn't match up very well with us. We blew it.



We don't play in the AFC East. We play in a division that is hard to be consistent in.

If we didn't make the playoffs next year I would not be shocked and it would really just be par for the course.



We just watched the 2 teams that played in the Superbowl a year ago not even make the playoffs... This league changes every year.

Very well written- We Blew It!!!

Learned my lesson after the 14 season. I will just take the 17 season in stride. If we have a good to great season, great. If not. well.... See how I felt in 15.

 

[MileyDancer]

Yep.. I expect disappointment.


For a brief brief moment this past Sunday when they showed Emmitt getting the crowd into the game and just the energy coming from the fans at the stadium it was like we were back. That was so awesome. Then it vanished and our normal Dallas Cowboy reality came right back and the disappointment of the past 20 years extended for another season.

I'm strongly considering cashing in on my PSL's, and making an extra 4k. That'll be 10k cash in my bank account. Not because Ive given up on this team, but more so because I want to go back to London and other places in Europe.

That's why I think chemistry is real. Look at the panthers.

[Virginia-Dave]

If they miss the playoffs next season that is a huge fail. I don't see that happening unless the team is ravaged by injuries, Zeke gets suspended, or Dak falls off the sophomore cliff.

Many here thought the Packers beating us at home when we dusted them earlier this year and them not having Jordy Nelson available while we had everyone back healthy was laughable.

 

[Irvin88_4life]

He says Collins can't stay healthy because he missed 17 games his first 2 years.......he didn't start as a rookie had nothing to do with injury and he missed almost all year to 1 injury

Is it mean to say this dude is a clown??? Admire how this article was crafted to make his point, yet failed to apply same logic to every other team in NFL...

I live in Boise Idaho, I never saw ANYONE repping the Squwaks, until I got a job at the airport a few years back....you can't even imagine how much blue and green I saw, right off the bat. Where you headed? To Seattle, oh.

 

[pugilist]

who cares, they can go 15-1.. they'll just get screwed again in the playoffs

I would say they bask too much in modest success.

The opportunity this team missed this year will not be as bitter of a pill as it should be. Look, we won 13 without Romo, coach of the year Garrett, rookie of the year in Elliott.

Too many accolades for a pathologically optimistic franchise to just ignore.
