Looking at this Cowboys team, I am not in the camp that has this " we are a 500 team until shown differently" mindset. All the pieces are there for the Boys to make run. Romo has been money when it counts, our receivers can cause any team nightmares, the defense can be a lot better but we are 2nd in the league in takeaways. We are not going to blow anybody out but we are going to do what we never do ..find ways to win. Just like the last 2 games.


This Cowboys team will make the NFC Championship game. At the very least.

Wow. We have one of the worst defenses "statistically" in history and barely find a way to beat two sub .500 teams and now all the pieces are in place and we "will make the NFC Championship game. At the very least." I just can't think of anything better to say than Wow...

Actually. On second thought I just realized this must be sarcasm. You got me...

Every team needs fans that are optimistic and have faith, but this statement just seems like blind homerism at this point of the season. Prognostications like these, are the precursor of overblown expectations, in this week to week league.

Hes being sarcastic. In the other thread he expects us to have to play Philly for the division in the final game and lose

I'm glad I read a few posts past the OP, because as I read that I just sat there shaking my head. I think we should win the east but beyond that is a big question mark.

I think you're nuts, but I sure hope you're right, buddy.

I was not expecting you to be the most positive guy at this point and time. So allow me to take your opinion with a grain of salt.

Please don't tell me you guys are all going with the " I'll take it one game at a time " crap.

What good is all your "football knowledge" when you can't find the courage to grow a pair and put it to the test.

Make a prediction.

Is it not sad that you were the only one that said " I hope your right "

Ok. But my view of my team has nothing to do with my reply to your post, if it was indeed, serious. I consider myself a pretty realistic poster. Just call them like I see them. Not trying to offend.

we're 1 game over .500 .... with a month of football left.

It is what it is.

Your faith is so shot ...you stopped counting our wins.

It is, but possibly not in the way you think. Nearly 2 decades of mediocre football tends to make folks doubtful, especially in this era of Cowboys football.

1 game at a time is the only way to look at these Dallas Cowboys the defense is really bad and they could be 10-6 or 7-9 depending on which way the wind is blowing on any given game

Im in the Parcells camp of " your are what you are until you prove differently" .500 over the last 18 years


The Team has a lot to prove

Hopeful yes but confident ? lets see who is healthy and playing in the games

OK. SAme as before the year started for me. We go 9-7, Win the division and win one playoff game. Another prediction is we go undefeated in the division.

I try not to get too high after a win nor too low after a loss therefore I won't be jumping on a SB or bust bandwagon. We are what we are. 7-5 and 1st in the NFCE. Nothing more nothing less. While I'd love to see another Lombarfi in Dallas I don't really expect it in February 2014.

Can you ask that little horse your riding for his prediction. I know he has the balls to make one.
