The Cowboys were 10-6 in a very weak NFC East last year. I don't see them matching those 10 wins again this year, simply because the talent of the NFC East has improved and most important of all the coaching has really improved.
I see an 8-8 or 9-7 type season, they're not going to sneak up on anyone this year. I'm not doubting Parcells in any way, but it would be an incredible job if he can milk another 10 win season out of the talent he has in this division.
I was thinking about this last night, just look at what a difference Parcells made last year, he turned a 5-11 team into a playoff team overnight, and it was basically the same team talent-wise. Now imagine what he would have done with a proven veteran QB like Brunell, a big-time RB like Portis, and some WR's like Coles and Gardner.
Now imagine what a difference Gibbs could make with the 'Skins!
