Re: Long time

I actually happen to think the Cowboys will be pretty good this year.

I just can't see the Cowboys being any better than 7-9 or 8-8. New schemes on both sides of the ball is usually a precursor to lots of growing pains. Oh and Wade Phillips...

I think the Cowboys could go 10-6 this year.

I'd agree with you if Parcells was still there and they were building on last year, but it almost seems like a rebuilding year for them with the complete coaching overhaul. I'll be very surprised if Phillips actually produces a winning season.

I'd be surprised if he produces one at all during his tenure with the team. I like the guy as a D Coordinator, but he's not head coaching material, IMO. I'll be surprised if they do any better than 7-9.

I like the Boys D, but I don't think the O is anything to get excited about. Julius Jones is not that good and Romo needs to return to his early form and not continue to play the way he did down the stretch last season.

I don't agree man what about the saints last year they changed coachign staff the changed half the defense and QB I think if you have the talent which the cowboys already have and if the new scheme isn't that diferent or complicated like Sauders 300 pages playbook players can adapt.

Re: Long time

I think Romo is a big question mark for them. After a fast start he really struggled down the stretch.

Re: Long time

The new scheme they are presenting I'm taking with a grain of salt. We had top ten defenses two years in a row and then GW made some changes and we heard how much the players liked it.

We all know what happened in 2006. The good news for Cowboys fans is that I don't think there will be a dropoff in 2007, but just hearing that the players love it doesn't make me feel any more confident in it. More good news for them is that if it takes a year to learn it ex. Saunder's offense, then next year they'll be pretty damn good.

Bad news is, Redskins will have THREE years in Saunder's system.

Re: Long time

And since we've taken 3 out of 4, it's starting a little bit of a trend. Unlike after the Monday Night Miracle, Dallas fans were like, "Ohh, that's just luck."

3 out of 4 isn't a luck, it's a trend and you can no longer give us that bullshit of, "Well, well, remember 13 out of 14?!?!"

And that pretty much sums it up. And we lost the monday night game in 2006 is because Portis didn't play.
