Ok..no more doom and gloom.

We have all these suspensions coming and its hard to be positive..

but here is something to consider..

if this team is going to succeed..

they are going to have to re-group and go forward.

The team is now a team again but they have to show and improve at every snap.

Like last year.

The other good thing is that we have to use our entire backfield now to win.

Not just Zeke.

Heck..last year Tom Brady was suspensed and they found a way to overcome it..

and even win another Lombardi.

Can we do the same..?

Comments welcome.

Honestly, I think we can make-do without him for 6 games. McFadden and Morris can eat up yards in smaller increments.

So yes, to me the silver lining is that this whole situation rallies the squad together and we have unreal chemistry this season.

Zeke is more talented than all those guys combined. Losing him is devastating to the team.

There's no reason to feel good about where this team stands going into the season. Weakened our team strength letting Leary go, a plethora of suspended or soon to be suspended players, a laundry list of injuries and missed time, a safe space camp and preseason following the formula that eliminated them in the playoffs, Prescott's still our starting QB, etc.

This team is far from the Patriots. The Offense the Cowboys has is quite good I believe, but when it comes to Coaching & Front Office Dallas doesn't even come close. Oh, and they also appear completely clueless when it comes to building any type of Defense. But, then again I imagine it's difficult to build anything of quality when your favorite shop is the NFL bargain bin.

Not to infuse the conversation with anything so petty as facts, but our defense gave up the fifth fewest points in the league last year.

They also had, I believe, the 4th easiest schedule in the league. This year we will see what Marinelli and the defense they have put together are made of

The defense needs to carry the load more. This is why we haven't got passed that hump. Im hoping this group of young hungry men can do it.

That's nothing but a cop out! You play the schedule you're given. They only played two different teams than the other three East teams played. Are you also going to downplay the offense since they played the same schedule as the defense?

Winning a championship in this league is all about how you are playing in January not September.

Teams will again be fearing the Cowboys on their schedule soon enough.

The silver lining is that if we totally suck this year, we will be picking high enough in the draft next year to get that war daddy!!!

Zeke will get an injunction. He'll play out this entire year. Then next year I think he'l serve out his suspension. Then after that, he'll sue the NFL for every cent lost from this stupid witch hunt. Bank on it!

Not sure if I have more going on or if this suspension has gotten to me but I'm not that excited for the NFL.

Hard to be a fan of something this corrupt.

I'll still root on this team, but I'm looking for revenge.

The only silver lining I could see is we win without zeke, and then he comes back extra fresh for the remainder of the season and runs harder in the playoffs than he's would have otherwise.
