How 'Bout Dem Cowboys!
Permalink   


Thats it. Im on the bandwagon and Im not getting off. I am almost sure that we are going to go 6-0 in the East and at least go to the Super Bowl now and I would also pick us to win it at this point. I think that without TO we would be about 12-4 this year, with him we could go 14-2 or 15-1. Our defense is an unstoppable unit now. We have given up 10 points so far in the preseason, 10 POINTS! Ellis is coming at the quarterback from one side and Ware is coming from the other. Then we have Bradie James, Akin Ayodele, and Al Singleton on the inside. Who knows what Bobby Carpenter will be able to do. Spears, Canty, and Ferguson anchor a great D-Line. In the secondary, we have Newman, Henry, and Roy. At the other safety spot, its a battle between Keith Davis who played well last season and Pat Watkins who Parcells raves about and who has looked very good in the preseason. On offense, Bledsoe looked great against the Saints and even if he gets injured or plays badly during the season we have Romo to back him up. Julius and Marion Barber are going to be great this season from the looks of it and Terry and TO are both All Pro receivers in my oppinion and if either of them don't get open then we have Jason Witten or Anthony Fasano, who by the way is an excellent blocker as well, to throw to. Flozelle Adams and a much improved Pettiti are our offensive tackles with McQuistan, Colombo, and Fabini, all very capable back ups, behind them. Then we have Marco Rivera, who is always good, and Kyle Kosier, who I have heard has been really good in camp, as guards. From what Parcells says, Andre Gurode is looking good at the Center position as well. Then Mike Vanderjagt and Skyler Green improve the kicking game and return game on a team that was already great at every other aspect of Special Teams last year. We're really strong at every position, and not only strong starters but we are deep too. I don't see much standing in our way at this point.

I still have reservations about Drew Bledsoe in the playoffs. Could set up a nice wager against Dallas if the team is favored a lot in its first playoff game.

I don't think the Cowboys beat Washington 26-0. The Redskins are also a pretty good team. And remember, while Dallas looked great Monday night, they beat up the sorry, good-for-nothing Saints.

I stand by my prediction that the Cowboys finish 12-4.

Well, just like the Patriots defense we will have to wait and see on Bledsoe. But even if he does choke, we have Tony Romo right behind him.


I cant see us losing four games. Mark Brunell will be implanted into the ground when our linebackers are finished with him.


We shut down Steve Smith last year and we will do it again this year, Carolina will not win against us.


Again, I dont think that Washington's offense is going to be able to compete with our defense this year. Same goes for Arizona.


I think that after a tough 3 game road stretch, the Colts are the only team that beat us. Kind of like how Marino beat the 85 Bears.

I just don't see 15-1. I think Carolina wins a huge revenge game, and Washington will beat you guys once.

Revenge can only take you so far. It is our first real big game of the year and I think that we are a much better team than them. The more I am thinking about it, the more I think that Tampa is going to win the South.


I dont think the Redskins will be able to beat us this year. Their offense had no flare at the end of last season and I think that they wont have any this year either.


We could possibly be upset in a game or something but I think that 15-1 is a strong possibility, maybe 14-2 or 13-3 but I think no lower than that.

15-1 is just so improbable. A wrong bounce here and there, and you have a 13-3 record.

There's no doubt in my mind that the Panthers win that game. The reason I think they win the NFC South is because Tampa Bay's schedule is so brutal.

Lets see how what you're saying when Steve Smith has 1 catch for 5 yards in the first half against us.

That's just not going to happen. Steve Smith doesn't get shut down like that.

Week 16 last year. He had 1 catch for 18 yards and we frustrated him to the point that he got thrown out of the game. Smith can be shut down just like any other player.

I think the fact that he didn't do much in that game will only motivate him to have a great performance against the Cowboys. I expect much prettier stats from him this year.

That's a possibility, but last year he just couldn't do anything against us. I think that Parcells knows exactly how to stop him.

Also, the Cowboys will have to worry about Johnson, who will look to rip his old team apart, and that should motivate him to play harder, and my physical.

After watching Keyshawn for a couple years here in Dallas, Im not worried about him at all. He's really not as good as people think he is.

Keyshawn has looked good in the preseason without Smith. I can't wait to see how he plays as a No. 2.

He's one of the most overrated players in sports. I dont care how he looked in preseason.

I agree that he's overrated, and should have never been a No. 1. But you have to admit that makes a solid No. 2 possession receiver.

I really dont think much of him. The only two games I was impressed with him here in Dallas was the game at Seattle in 2004 and the game at home against Denver last year. Other than those rare freak amazing performances, he's really not that good.

I agree that he isn't THAT good, but wouldn't you concede that he'll make a solid second option for Jake Delhomme?

He's not as good as Muhsin Muhammed or Ricky Proehl, who used to be Delhomme's second options.

Maybe not as good as Muhammad, but c'mon, he's a lot better than Ricky Proehl. You can't even compare the two.

Lol, Joey, where do you make your predictions? You must be one slow guy.

Im not so sure that I would rather have Keyshawn than Ricky Proehl. Proehl was always great in the clutch.

You are retarded! Please do not post on this forum anymore. Unless you have something intelligent to say.

Look, you might not agree with his picks, but don't call someone "slow" or "retarded" just because you don't agree with them. People disagree all the time about sports -- arguing about them is the best thing about them. But resorting to name-calling is pretty low; just state why you disagree with him in a civil manner.

Lol! Where do I start? He is predicting the Cowboys to go 15-1 because he like what he saw in the preason. Only a Cowboys fan.

Ricky Proehl better then KeShawn Johnson, are you kidding me?

Like I said, I disagree with those opinions, but whatever, I think it's fun to argue. That's why sports are great -- you can have good discussions about something that's not life or death.

I lashed out at our good friend Joey because he started the "name-calling" first.
