What are your expectations right now for 09?

[FuzzyLumpkins]

12-4 and deep in the playoffs.

Yup at least with a third place schedule.

 

[bbgun]

Me: Abstinence.
Cowboys: 10-6, and a quick first round exit.

 

[Bob Sacamano]

Me: Abstinence + celibacy.
Cowboys: 10-6, and a quick first round exit.

I thought abstinence was used mainly for alcohol?

And both are imposed from without.

Well, let's calculate it.

2009 season over. Might as well start preparing for 2010, when hopefully Jerry Jones will cut the numerous cancerous distractions that are single-handedly preventing this perfect football team, which should be dominating, from winning the Super Bowl every year.

The season’s over, people. Let’s face it.

Tony Romo will throw 5 more interceptions than he otherwise would have because of Martellus Bennett's rap video. They will be to the following players:

2 to LaRon Landry
1 to Brian Dawkins
1 to Brandon Flowers
1 to Quentin Jammer

The offensive line will once again underachieve because of T.O.'s reality show. Flozell Adams will have 14 false starts and 3 illegal hands to face penalties as a result of this show. Also, Marc Colombo will have 9 false starts and 5 holdings.

Pencil in Andre Gurode for 7 “adventure” snaps; 3 of them will be when nobody else expects the ball. The others will sail over Tony Romo’s head. Terrell Owens’s show will be responsible for 4 of them.



Now, onto the injuries.

The following injuries will result from T.O.’s show:

Tony Romo, bruised sternum (from laughing at T.O.’s show)
Marion Barber, bruised knee (from banging it against a door when he’s not watching where he’s going because he’s thinking about T.O.’s show)
Patrick Crayton, strained hamstring (from not paying attention to his running technique when thinking bout something T.O. said)
Sam Hurd, concussion (from thinking too hard about T.O.’s show)
Miles Austin, torn patella (from thinking about T.O.’s show instead of focusing on maintaining his balance when dragging a defender after the catch)
DeMarcus Ware, torn ACL (from poor technique work during training camp; he was thinking about T.O. when he should’ve been listening to Wade Phillips)
Terrence Newman, foot (from not watching his weight; he will slack on his diet because he’ll be plopped in front of the TV eating ice cream while watching the show)

This isn’t to say these will be the only injuries; surely, a few of them will come from Michael Irvin’s new reality show, as well as other various distractions in Cowboyland, but these are the ones that will result from the show and the show alone.

YOU WILL LOSE

8-8 doesn't seem like any of the issues have been resolved or even attempted resolved, more of the same basically

Jerry looks like a monkey in your sig.

 

[theogt]

So, if we were 9-7 last year with the exact same "issues" but with key players injured, why would we do worse next year?

Metastasizing cancers?

please dont use common sense ...youll confuse the masses

Right now I'm thinking 7-9 or 8-8. The good news is that the defense will probably get a ton of sacks again and it's tough to have a really poor record if you're constantly sacking the QB. But, I really question if Romo can turn it around and do those things that win you those tough, close games and whether Garrett can make those adjustments. Plus, still a lot of drama and distractions on this team and from that standpoint, I don't think we'll ever see Jerry change.

Yeah, Tony Romo is definitely the reason I see us not having a winning season.

well, Jerry is little compared to Wade

the way I look at it, it will be from the effects of this past december.

The team attacked each other this past season, that hasnt happened before.

All the crap snowballs. IF we come out and struggle early it will be twice as bad now because of all the fingerpointing and nonsense of this year.

That will lead to even bigger problems and ultimately house cleaning and a fresh start in 2010.

I just cant see this team being able to mentally handle a bad quarter let alone a bad 4 game stretch or something.

I just have a feeling the wheels will officially come off. There are too many things lining up as problems or potential problems.

But I can't see Tony putting up a losing record with a team this talented, barring injury.

 

[theebs]

I can see cause for concern there, but I dont see him as one of the problems at all.

I mean didnt he play the exact kind of game everyone wants him to play against washington and home against ny with his injuries this year?

I think we have lots of problems, but quarterback I dont think will end up being one of them.
