Week 1 Prediction - if Zeke can't play

[Jeffkills]

I gotta say, I see us coming away with the W...

Even without Zeke, we're gonna be smashing those G-Strings..

 

[DogFace]

If he doesn't play my family will unfairly suffer through my bad attitude. My wife will also have to hear(for the 6th-9th time) how unfair the NFL is being in this case and the details about investigator being an ugly Giants fan. She won't like it one bit.

I will also whine on this site as much as possible. No one wants that NFL. Do the right thing.

I just don't see them suspending him. Week 1, prime time, against the Giants..it's not happening

I don't see Jerry and the Cowboys putting up with it if the league tried either.

And I think Goodell knows that.

Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if Jerry already knows the answer

Hillman gets the start. 19 carries, 107 yards and a TD. Mara seen scowling on the phone with Roger after we beat his Giants 31-23:

It's printed on a t-shirt already:

Even if he is suspended, expect legal proceedings. I fully expect him week one.

"Roger, who can else can we suspend on Dallas?"

Exactly. Pretty clear that Jerry isn't taking this one w/out a fight, if at all needed....

I think JJ bends the knee if its a one or two gamer. JJ wants to host the draft and he's not going to get it fighting the regime.

I disagree.

More than anything else, he wants a championship, and allowing the league to suspend arguably his biggest weapon hurts his chances substantially.

To say nothing of taking a stand against excessive suspensions from the league. If you allow the league to set a precedent of suspending players when they've not been proven guilty of anything, where does it end? You've opened Pandora's box.

Jones is already publicly opposed to the marijuana testing and suspensions, I think he'll draw a line in the sand on this one, especially given that he's said numerous times that there's no evidence to support domestic violence.

Given the known ties between Mara and Goodell, and the fact that the person in charge of this fiasco is a known Giants fanatic, and the first game just happens to be against 'their team'? Goodell, Mara, and the entire league could end up with a very messy fight on their hands if they try anything.

If they thought Al Davis was a pain, just wait!

It's nice having a good back up RB in DMC. Cowboys should be fine for a game or 2 without Zeke. More than 2 games then i start to get nervous about not having Zeke

 

[Aven8]

Well if it happens it will be a total farce, for something he did in freaking college and not even in the league yet. However, hopefully it will be like when Emmitt held out and we went on a march straight to the SB!! Sort of the revenge tour like with Brady last year.

 

[erod]

Eli will throw for 500 yards and 5 touchdowns of Dallas can't keep the ball away with the run game.

No Zeke, no win.

 

[ShiningStar]

its goign to come down to the coaches. Can Garrett out coach McAdoo? Thats the only separation right now.

 

[casmith07]

I think that Jerry has grown tired of Goodell and Mara.

You had the salary cap garbage with Miles Austin in the uncapped year, among other things. I think this would be the last straw.

Zeke may litigate, which would stay his suspension pending litigation, similar to the Tom Brady suspension.

My family will also be exposed to my bad attitude. On the plus side my wife will get a break from me doing the "feed me" gesture, which she has grown to despise, which makes me enjoy it that much more.
