    Well I'm new to this forum. But not new to America's Team The Dallas Cowboys [​IMG] .I feel the Cowboys will play 500 ball or a little better this season. I'm thinking 8-8, 9-7 and a long shot at 10-6. I believe there defense will be in the top 10 this season if things get rolling in the right direction and no major injuries. The offense scares me. Bledsoe is a good QB. The wr are good not great.The running game will be interesting this season. And the right tackle area needs to be addressed. I think they should either move Larry Allen to right tackle or sign Verba, he's still waiting to be picked up.The young guys they have don't have the exp to protect Bledoe and that could be very dangerous. Any thoughts?

    yea bledsoe with a bad offensive line isnt a good combo considering he is very very immoblie. I like Julius Jones this year, he should be a very good rb for years to come i think. Wrs are a problem your right about that. I'm not really sure how Bledsoe will do this year, i dont think he'll do as well as he did an Buffalo but better than Vinny did for u guys last year. If the Dallas Defense can be like they were in 2003 then i'd say ur good for a .500 8-8 season.

    First of all, welcome to the forum!!!

    I don't think 10-6 is necessarily a long shot, but that would probably be the high end of the scale. On the other end, 8-8 would be a slight disappointment, but certainly reasonable. A losing season should not happen.

    RT is holding their offensive line hostage, and will be the weak spot. I expect Pettiti to compete more for that position as the season goes on. At LT, Flozell seems to have a problem with speed rushers, but he'll be OK. As long as the OL meshes, Bledsoe will be OK. Moving Larry Allen will be a last resort, assuming Peterman can step up at LG. The WR position is not the strength, but the receiving core is decent with Witten considered too.

    Looks like 10-6 to me...

    @San Diego = Loss
    Washington = Win
    @49ers = Win
    @Oakland = Win
    Philadelphia = Loss
    NY Giants = Win
    @Seattle = Loss
    Arizona = Win
    Bye
    @Philadelphia = Win
    Detroit = Win
    Denver = Loss
    @NY Giants = Win
    Kansas City = Loss
    @Washington = Win
    @Carolina = Loss
    St Louis = Win

    I think if we go 5-1 in the division as noted above, then 10-6 is certainly possible. I would be satisfied with 4-2.

    i dont like that prediction making my own:

    @San Diego- Loss
    Washington- Win
    @49ers- Win
    @Oakland- Loss
    Philly- Loss
    NY Giants- Win
    @Seattle- Win
    Arizona- Win
    Bye
    @Philly- Loss
    Detriot- Win
    Denver- Loss
    @NY Giants- Loss
    KC- Loss
    @Washington- Win
    @Carolina- Loss
    St Louis- Win

    i have them here going 8-8 i think that'll be what they end up as.

    I don't think any NFC East team is capable of sweeping the other except maybe the Eagles but if the turmoil continues they'll loose to. The divsion records should be fairly close.

    I think 3-3 in the divsion with two loses to the eagles and one to the giants is realistic

    Yea i dont think the Giants will get swept by the Cowboys. I like the cowboys as an 8-8 team this year.

    Anything less than 10-6 would be disappointing considering the talent we have.
