So... Does 11-5 seem more attainable now?

After we fired Tuna and hired Wade I suggested we would still go at least 11-5 and go deep into the playoffs this year. Of course, as usual, I was lambasted by many. Fast forward six months. What's the prevailing thought now? toot toot :D

My prediction was 10-6, possibly 11-5 with some breaks but at this moment, with the way we are playing, I would not bet against 12-4 or better record.

Barring any more major injuries, i see this team winning no less than 11 games, but it is the NFL and we all know anything can happen.

Sun, Sep 30 ST. LOUIS (FOX)
Mon, Oct 8 @ Buffalo (ESPN)
Sun, Oct 14 NEW ENGLAND (CBS) - LOSS
Sun, Oct 21 MINNESOTA (FOX)
Sun, Oct 28 BYE WEEK
Sun, Nov 4 @ Philadelphia (NBC) - LOSS
Sun, Nov 11 @ NY Giants (FOX)
Sun, Nov 18 WASHINGTON (FOX)
Thu, Nov 22 NY JETS (CBS)
Thu, Nov 29 GREEN BAY (NFL) - LOSS
Sun, Dec 9 @ Detroit (FOX)
Sun, Dec 16 PHILADELPHIA (FOX)
Sat, Dec 22 @ Carolina (NFL) - LOSS
Sun, Dec 30 @ Washington (FOX) - LOSS

If I absolutely HAD to pick 5 losses, that's where they'd come from. But I'm pretty confident we go 2-0 against the Commanders and that neither Green Bay nor Carolina will pose much of a thread in late November.

My best guess is 12-4. However, 13-3 looks attainable.

I love the newly discovered optimism. :thumbup: I don't want to sound too premature but... this is shaping up to be a special team/year folks.

NYG, Philly, and Washington are never easy on the road.

I love self-proclaimed martyrs.

Lambasted by many. For an average 11-5 prediction.

Right. Sure you were. :rolleyes:

:D Pls don't spoil my celebration of martyrdom. I actually was though but that's beside the point.

I seem to remember quite a few folks who predicted anywhere from 10-6 to 12-4 due to the "breathe of fresh air" that Wade would bring. My suggestion is that you publish the names of these horrible individuals and they be verbally lambasted in the manner they deserve!

I'm too lazy for all that. :D Tis water under the bridge.

It's no different than last year when Romo blazed through the pre-season and I was livid that they didn't start him in the regular season (along with a very small portion of the posting population). For four weeks I dealt with the Bledsoe love. It was truly sickening... Then something special finally happened and the rest is history. Munchis out!

Apparently it's not, per your OP where you bemoan all the haters who "lambasted" you.

Of course, you also claimed in that post that we fired Parcells, so...:cool:

I'm just having some post war fun here. That is all.

This I knew. Thanks for the correction. I stand corrected.

13-3 with those losses going to NE, Carolina and Washington; those last two because by then the Cowboys will have locked up the #1 seed and will be resting.

And I say that only half-kidding. Haven't been this happy and confident in a while.
