Yeah, because everyone who thinks this team has no chance is just dumb. .. nobody in the world outside of a handful of fans on this board Legitimately thinks this team team can win the sb this year .. . Why should they?

This team is plenty talented on offense to compete with anybody. I don't think they will win the Super Bowl or even make noise in the playoffs (unless the defense surprises) but they will compete for the East because of the overall weakness of the division.

All the teams who finished better than 8-8 playing in the CFL this year?

I have no problem with optimism.

I will admit though, outside of the early 2007 season, I have not had much optimism since Parcells left and Jerry took over.

You never know. This team is a big mystery, perhaps the biggest in the NFC.

The Cowboys can very well be a 6-10 team, or they can be an 11-5 team, it's just so unpredictable. It all begins to where our defense is. I trust Marinelli this year as the main guy. Kiffin was old and personally I wasn't never really happy about his signing, but Rod bringing in his guys, getting a chance to draft his own talent, plus a full year of working with hi schemes and his players can be very vital for the team.


Offensively we are still an above-average team. Romo's injury being in the last week of the season gives him enough chance to be healthy. Bryant, Murray, Witten, Smith, plus Williams and whoever we bring in should be an electric group that will score points, make no mistake about it.


The big question throughout the off-season, the draft, and camp will be the defense. That's why I feel it is important to sign Melton and another defender, preferably an End, maybe Spencer back? Then draft 70% defense whatever order necessary and go from there. Many things can happen, and I too believe we can win the division, but if the defense isn't solved, we may very well finish last.

Actually the Cowboys are entirely predictable.

Is the opposing team 500 or better?
If yes, expect the loss.

OP is merely saying there's a minute chance most teams can win it all in any given season, and that it'd be amusing if it were us after the several seasons of underperforming expectations. It's not optimism. It's "wouldn't it be amusing if." And, I agree. It's very unlikely, and it would be amusing to see.

Why is this team a mystery? The writing is on the wall...and is easy to see. Because of poor cap management....this team has had to let go of it's entire D-line. Ever since Parcells left...poor drafts have been constant. This is just a poorly managed team from all angles. And now everyone is hoping for a rebound. Good luck. Not a great plan pinning your hopes on an over paid/broken down QB. Not until a new head coach is hired....and allowed to put his staff together. (Not some jimmy-rigged Jerry concoction) will this team ever get on the right track.

You guys are really gonna piss off the resident "realists" with this kinda talk.

So you think we have a realistic chance of winning a SB this year?

Have the courage of your convictions to do so if you believe it to be true of else this is just hot air

Perhaps I am confused but if this team wins the SB this year, why would it be amusing to cowboy fans? I would think it would be absolutely fantastic , a great shocker, or out of the world great ....... But not amusing

Truth is this just the latest packaging of the homer "I am good enough I am smart enough...." thread that people with inferiority complexes use to make themselves feel adequate

If you believe it, say it and tell us why , instead of trying to camouflage it

Truth is, you're misreading the OP. And then misreading my reply. Maybe on purpose, though it might be a comprehension thing.

If you can't grok the point of a single "wouldn't it be funny if..." thread, I'm not sure what to tell you.

Your usual schtick of "not understanding my post"

The op is addressing cowboy fans, tell me why it would not be great for the cowboys to win the SB this year and why "it would be funny"

Like I said.... The usual pie in the sky homer post

It's only usual with you, visionary. And that's because I believe you have a hard time responding to the arguments that are actually made for whatever reason.

And by way of example, the answer to the question you are asking again here is readily apparent from my two posts above. No further explanation really ought to be required.

Garrett with = talent can't out coach any of these playoff teams. We'll have to be a lot more talented to overcome having him as our coach and winning it all.

If we come out of the gate with an NFL-caliber defense (improve to somewhere around average), anything can happen. But, getting to the Super Bowl is on the high-end of unlikely. If we could somehow just get into the playoffs this season, I would be happy.
