Time to dust off the old pole.

Wait.

I went with 10-6 or greater. I know I have been sucked in and am setting myself up for disappointment, but I just have a really good feeling about Dak, and also have a good enough feeling about our defense once we get DLaw and Gregory back, to think that 10-6 is absolutely possible. Worst case scenario is Dak is tearing it up, Romo gets put back in after he heals, team chemistry goes to shit, Romo is rusty, and we lose 2-3 straight because of it.

With a healthy Romo, I had them pegged for 8 to 10 wins.

Without him and with a very suspect defense, 6-10 is the best we can hope for.

The coaching staff is also a liability. They showed us last year just how bad they are at coaching around our deficiencies.

The defense didn't change and neither did the coaching staff, so I can't see why we'd be successful this time around.

I just see this as another 8-8 type of season, even if Dak plays pretty well. The coaching staff will get yet another pass because Romo will have missed so many games–I don't anticipate him staying on the field even when he does return from this back thing. They'll head into next season with the status quo and Jerry talking about Romo healing up over the offseason and 'feeling the best he has in 5 years', selling unwarranted optimism. Big Ben. Parliament.

8-8 for me, because the defense won't be able to hold it together for 16 games.

For 2015 I predict the Cowboys will finish 4-12.

I see Romo playing 4 games at most.

We'll struggle mightily without him and it will expose just how dependent Garrett is on Romo.

The running game will still be solid though.

Couple thoughts:

- How is our mediocrity going to fulfill itself? Garrett is 40-40 as full-time head coach. Surely we can't go 8-8 again, can we? Or do we balance out whatever record this year and return to .500 next year, say a 7-9 finish now and 9-7 next year?

- Maybe next pole I erect will be number of games Romo starts & finishes this year.

- Zeke prediction poll, anyone? That seems to be the one of the few things we have left to look forward to.

I think you could probably do both a Zeke and Zak poll.

Now that I think about it... Zeke and Zak has a nice ring to it.

8-8 with Romo being held out indefinitely. Dak does well for a young rookie. I'll say 3400 Yds 26TDs 17int. The defense is bad, just so bad. Dak has to struggle (like his predecessor did) keeping up with this shithouse defense. Garrett won't depend on the run like he should, because we'll be forced to play from behind most games.

We end up in the playoffs because our division is ass, so All the coaches are retained.

I think many of you have gotten sucked when it comes to Dak. DFDC (Dick Face Dak Crusher) comes strong.

At the very least, the Dak-hype will have better results than the Drew Henson saga.

So third easiest schedule in the NFL and you think we have the same record as last year with Cassel and Weeden? Not sure how you can justify that.

Uhh, he said 2015 in his post. Pretty sure he was just fucking around.

I think about 6 or 7 wins. I think Dak will flash at times but look dreadful a lot of the time. I think someone else significant will get hurt. And the defense...the defense.

which could affect Zeke's ROY candidacy/fantasy stats if we have to abandon the run and pass pass pass to get back in the game
