The Annual, Occasionlly Accurate Bold Predictions for the 2016 Season

[plasticman]

1. Here comes the hate.....This is Tony Romo's last season. He will complete it on his feet but it will be obvious, the injuries to his back and hip will have taken its toll.

He will put up a very very galant effort, playing hurt, his season will end strong. However, it will end with the realization that another one just isnt going to happen.

2. The surprise rookie wont be Ezekiel Elliot, how could it be? He will have a good rookie season but not one that ushers in the next Walter Payton, Jim Brown, Barry Sanders or the Great #22.

Not to worry...The surprise rookie will be Darius Jackson, whose numbers will be almost the same as Ezekiel's.

3. Gregory willI never play another single down of NFL football.

4. Jason Witten will not be the leading TE in receptions this season. He will be productive but there will be an obvious passing of the batan to someone else.

5. The defensive line will struggle in the 1st half of the season.....mightily. They will directly cost the team a victory. However, you will see substantial improvement in just the right time, as December begins.

6. The Cowboy's backup quarterback with the 2nd most plays behind center, will be a rookie.

That would suck if this was romos last season. Not looking forward to 8 years of 4-6 wins.

Jackson will be on the PS.

They are for sure bold! Lol

 

[Shinaoi]

I seriously doubt any te on this team will have more receptions than witten.

 

[Tabascocat]

Go to drunk, you are bed

 

[plasticman]

Go ahead laugh!

They all laughed when I predicted:

2014 The Cowboys were going to have a great season in 2014 as a result of finally having a complete season with DeMarco Murray.

2011 The draft critics in 2011 will eat crow when three picks in the 3rd round or lower will be legitimate NFL starters (okay, only DeMarco, but Josh Thomas and Dwayne Harris havent done too bad for themselves.)

2015 Randle will suck in 2015, a.huge step backwards and nowhere near the magic they had in 2014.

2010 Jerry Jones has his eye off the football. In a season that end with the Super Bowl in Cowboy Stadium he has volunteered the team for an additional preseasion game, fractured training camp into 3 different geographic locations and usurped the authority of his HC by ordering offensive coordinator Jason Garrett to report directly to him. This year may completely opposite of expectations after a very good 2009. I have not heard Jerry mention any type of dedicated goal or impassioned crusade to reach this Super Bowl. I predict we will be humiliated when the 49ers , Packers or ("gasp") Commanders play (host?) a Super Bowl in our stadium.

2012 If Tony Romo gets hurt for a sustained period of time he may not get his job back. The McGee Era will have been ushered in.

.....okay, go ahead and laugh at the last one.

 

[Shinaoi]

I'm not laughing, I'm just asking for the sake of discussion. Who do you think gets more receptions than witten?

1. Here comes the hate.....This is Tony Romo's last season. He will complete it on his feet but it will be obvious, the injuries to his back and hip will have taken its toll.

He will put up a very very galant effort, playing hurt, his season will end strong. However, it will end with the realization that another one just isnt going to happen.

1. If prediction 1 comes true we're in for some tough times ahead. Welcome to 2001.

2. The surprise rookie wont be Ezekiel Elliot, how could it be? He will have a good rookie season but not one that ushers in the next Walter Payton, Jim Brown, Barry Sanders or the Great #22.

Not to worry...The surprise rookie will be Darius Jackson, whose numbers will be almost the same as Ezekiel's.

2. I can't imagine how many yards Darius Jackson is going to get from the practice squad, but it's certainly bold.

3. Gregory willI never play another single down of NFL football.

3. Can't disagree with that, the kid has serious problems. I think it's 50/50 at best.

4. Jason Witten will not be the leading TE in receptions this season. He will be productive but there will be an obvious passing of the batan to someone else.

4. Nope.

5. The defensive line will struggle in the 1st half of the season.....mightily. They will directly cost the team a victory. However, you will see substantial improvement in just the right time, as December begins.

5. I think the line will be better out of the gate than you do, but I agree they'll improve as the season progresses.

6. The Cowboy's backup quarterback with the 2nd most plays behind center, will be a rookie.

6. I just threw up in my mouth a little. Again, welcome to 2001.

I think you just predicted a 4-12 season

I too expect Dak to get a few snaps/kneel downs in garbage time in the Super Bowl while Tony gives Garrett a Gatorade bath.

 

[Bullflop]

I'll take a guess that if Romo plays every game, we could have as much as a 10-6 season.

If not, I just hope we don't have any members of this forum that may be inclined to suicide.

Not like Dak doesn't exhibit Romo-like traits in maneuverability and the ability to toss a vertical pass...game time is critical for him at this point, lol.

 

[CCBoy]

Plasticman, thanks for a wink forward...

I have to stick with Tony Romo and still project him. No stereotype when this fan looks at a proven veteran.

 

[LocimusPrime]

I can see some of those happening- not too bold.

 

[jazzcat22]

I didn't know Tony had a hip injury...so, there you go, that blows up your entire post....

 

[TellerMorrow34]

I really hope that #1 isn't even close to true. This team is in for some very bad things in the near future if that's the case.

 

[JDSmith]

I didn't know Tony had a hip injury...so, there you go, that blows up your entire post....

No, because it's a prediction post - could easily be that he's suggesting Romo will injure his hip this season.

 

[Bizwah]

If Darius Jackson shows anything this preseason, there's no way he makes the PS. Some team will pick him up.

[GimmeTheBall!]

Blimey! Good predictions. At least they seem viable.

I do disagree that the defence will cost us 1 game. More like 4. And I disagree it will get better. Not with wear and tear, injuries and rookie learning curves.

 

[GimmeTheBall!]

I seriously doubt any te on this team will have more receptions than witten.

Predicated on the theory Romo will play enough games to continuously feed Witten those 5-10 yard slants, bloke.
