Season Predictions Post Injuries

[coult44]

LMAO! the worst QB in the NFL is going to lead us to 11 wins. I will bet you a ban bet for life

This new generation of fans kill me . Fantasy fans is what I call y'all. More about a player than you are the team.. Why? It kills me!!! Be a fan of the freekin Dallas Cowboys. Yes, even the ones who suck!!!!!

 

[coult44]

Cassell gives us the better chance of winning, I dont want ROmo back until he is 100% bc he will be facing the JETs and BILLS D

When was the last time those two teams were good for an entire year. Don't make them out to be Seattle or NE after two games.

 

[coult44]

Differeent year homie... Go play DK and leave the Cowboys to us who actually want the team to win.

 

[HappyOnions]

I'm guessing 8-8 which still might be enough to win the division.

Having Hardy, Gregory, Rolando back, and if Lee stays healthy then I truly believe that we have potential to field one of the top defenses in the league. If Weeden can keep the mistakes to a minimum and play solid football, I think we have a good chance to still make the playoffs.

We can't replace what Romo and Dez bring to this team, but it doesn't mean that this team can't win in a different manner.

9-7, but still win the division.

I like ur thinking...

8-8, we missed u old faithful record. Although I'm hoping for 10-6.

But if Romo comes back by week 10 I reserve the right to change my prediction.

 

[plasticman]

The Cowboys will go at least 11-5. Weeden will play great. The defense will emerge.

 

[Sarge]

I was wondering when this thread would be created.

 

[Dday22t]

Weeden goes 3-4, Dallas finishes at 10-6

 

[RoboQB]

The patriots were fine when Brady was Injured, when Romo gets hurt we cant even complete a pass. lol

Not just one completion... 7 in a row.. capped off with a 42 yard TD against a highly paid DB to ice the game.

 

[Joe Realist]

9-7, no playoffs

 

[Bleu Star]

I trust Linehan to place Weeden in positions to be successful. That gives us a chance against anyone. I'm also kinda excited to see that Collins is being worked into a starting role on the oline (albeit due to injury but whatever). That single oline change may turn out to be the key to sustaining through this tough stretch without our big guns on offense.

I think there will be more runs targeted behind that ridiculous left side of the line behind big nasty Tyron & big nasty #2 La'el. Weeden will also benefit from an offensive line out to really prove itself after some early subpar play. I had us at 10-6 (9-7 worst case) before the season started and I still see us getting there. 10-6 & the division in our hands.

Lost in all this is the quiet brilliance of Jerry to sell the land of opportunity to a young disheartened UDRFA in Collins. Thanks to that incredible sales pitch, we are in good shape to endure this stretch.

 

[Staubacher]

I just have a feeling we will be 6-4 when Romo returns.

I'd then say we go 4-2 upon his return as we have some tough cold weather games.

So 10-6 which will win the division.

We'll have to go to Lambeau in the playoffs again and this time we will prevail.

 

[JoeKing]

The system that Will McClay has put in place allows us to absorb a great deal of adversity through depth and diversity of talent. We will need Romo and Dez for the playoffs but their absence now will not prohibit winning the division. The sky is still the limit.

When was the last time those two teams were good for an entire year. Don't make them out to be Seattle or NE after two games.

Right. Whats funny is the Jets look like Houston last year now. Same QB, same defense, except they don't have JJ Watt!

 

[CowboyRoy]

I still expect 12 to 11 wins on the season and win the NFC East

Wow, talk about a homer pick. What did you have before, 16 wins?

 

[CowboyRoy]

I agree with most of that. But what we are going to definitely miss out on is home field advantage in the 2nd round. If we still can win the East we will have to go into GB or Seattle most likely and that could very well be the difference in making any kind of SB run.

Anything short of a miracle and this season is pretty much shot for a SB run. If we have a 30% chance prior, its a 5% chance now. And who knows what other injuries we are going to have. My feeling is that this is just one of those years and more injuries are coming.

 

[visionary]

10-6
Win the division

 

[Doomsday101]

We are going to look like arizona did when Palmer went down, anyone who doesnt think otherwise is living in fantasy land

Man I hope so, Cards went 6-3 with Drew Stanton it was not until he was injured and Arz went to the 3rd QB that they struggled.
