I actually thought my cowboys would get the shit knocked out of them. Anyways we are still in first place. I am sticking to my 9 and 7 prediction which should win the division and get into the playoffs

T D, I'd predicted an 11-5 record for Da Boys mid-way thru the exhibition season but I'm making a 100% retraction now that I've seen what this squad is really made of. And what they've got....on defense....is total garbage. We wanted to blame Rob Ryan for his schemes but that wasn't it all. His schemes are fine and doing well in New Orleans. It takes players....talent.....ability. And Dallas simply does not have any of that on the defensive side of the ball.
To go 9-7 as you've suggested, Dallas will need to go 7-4 the rest of the way. So....in essence....lose only 4 more games in the next 11.....on the heels of amassing 3 losses already in only the first 5.
The numbers don't add up. Especially since Dallas faces the following QB's the rest of the way:
Drew Brees
Matthew Stafford
Jay Cutler
Eli Manning
Aaron Rodgers
Each one of them are capable of throwing 400+ yds per game and multiple TD's against this sieve of a defense. And 4 out of 5 of those qb's are capable of hanging another Loss on Dallas' record. That means no margin for error in any of the other games.
Dallas can only hope they achieve another 8-8 record this season. And to do that, Romo may have to have games akin to yesterday's effort in order to outscore the opposition.
In 1989, Jimmy Johnson gave Jerry the blueprint for future successes and championships on a silver platter......and Jerry the Wheeler Dealer GM has chosen to ignore the most important edict in football: Stop the other team from putting the ball in the endzone.
And for God's Sakes.....Denver may go another decade or two before they play another game where their punter never sees the field.....he could've stayed home and watched the game from his sofa yesterday. What an embarrassment. In 29 years of coaching, Tom Landry's teams never allowed such a thing to occur.
But hey....easier for the bashers to blame Romo for the sins of an idiot owner / GM, right?
