Cowboys Second Half Predictions

[Dooby]

Tabula rasa, baby. "Clean Slate".

6-2 through 8 games. Tougher schedule the rest of the way. Make your predictions now. As is my pet peeve, some sort of rationale is encouraged.

Me: 4-4 the rest of the way with victories over Giants, Saints, Buffalo and Eagles. Actually, I just made that up. I'll think it about it more later.

Last game notwithstanding, the Cowboys have been playing better than I anticipated, but looking at their remaining schedule, I can't see them doing better than 3-5 (for a final record of 9-7).

Rationale: They haven't played well enough to beat the better teams they are playing especially on the road.

5-3 from now on.

11-5 the season.

(What am I thinking? well, WTH)

[XERXES]

I think the Cowboys will be "in" just about every game they play. I don't think they'll get another tampa bay-esque arse whooping (which should have been a closer game - if they had limited their mistakes...) I see them going either 4-4 or 3-5...either of which should get them into the (dare I say the "P" word?) Playoffs.

My full season prediction was off, but what the heck...

I see them going 5-3, with wins against Buffalo, the Redskins, the Giants, the Panthers, and the Saints and losses against the Eagles, Patriots, and Dolphins.

Let's see....

Buffalo Bills - How do we keep getting teams after their bye week? I think it won't matter again with us being at home. - W
New England Patriots - Pretty sure Carter is going to have a tough day. L
Carolina Panthers - This team is hard to figure out, but since we are playing at home I give us a win - W
Miami Dolphins - Thanksgiving Day..... I would hate to think we would lose on Thanksgiving Day, that always makes the Turkey taste fowl (dad joke?) - W
Philadelphia Eagles - We need to win this one, but I'm afeared that we will not. - L
Washington Foreskins - Those guys suck - W
New York Giants - A division game that will be fun to watch, if they are still in the running for the East. - W
New Orleans Saints - We should have the East wrapped up by now, if we don't I say we win, if we do - L

So I have a situational record of 5-3 or 6-2 depending on the East standings in the last week. Wow, never thought I could have said that going into this season (although to be honest, I think we might lose the Miami game. But it is Thanksgiving so I can't bring myself to say we lose).

Let's see....

Buffalo Bills - W
New England Patriots - L
Carolina Panthers - W
Miami Dolphins - Thanksgiving Day..... - W
Philadelphia Eagles - W
Washington Foreskins - W
New York Giants - W
New Orleans Saints - We should have the East wrapped up by now, if we don't I say we win, if we do - L

6 - 2 Undefeated in division.

I hope you're right LRB. And the optimist in me wants to really believe that, but I guess I'm just a glass is half-full type of prognosticator.

CORRECTION: "half-empty". [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

Buffalo - W (The sooner Roy Williams can hit Bledsoe, the better....)

@ NE - L (Pats are solid, and it will be especially tough if the weather's cold.)

Carolina - W (Boys match up well with Panthers. They should be able to contain Stephen Davis.)

Miami - L (Dolphins will be playoff-desperate. This one will be a letdown after beating Carolina.)

@Philly - L (The Eagles have gotten their act together. A close but tough loss in cold weather.)

@Wash - W (Nothing about the Redskins is good right now. Don't see it getting any better for them.)

NY Giants - W (The Boys are due for a takeaway binge and Kerry Collins is the right candidate.)

@ NO - L (Another letdown game, and since the Saints won't be playing for the playoffs, they'll actually win a December game.)


Final record: 10-6 with at least a wild card berth.

[bogey]

Buffalo Bills - The Bills suck this year. Cowboys win

@New England Patriots - The Pats are an enigmatic team. Pats win.

Carolina Panthers - Carolina has one of the leagues toughest defenses similar to Tampa if not better. Carolina win.

Miami Dolphins - Miami is better than Dallas right now. Dolphins win.

@Philadelphia Eagles - We will sweep the Iggles. They suck. Cowboys win.

@Washington Foreskins - I thought the Skins would win last week...I'll say we split. Skins win.

New York Giants - Tough team, tough game. Giants win.

@New Orleans Saints - The Saints bleaux chunks this year. Cowboys win.

Second half record: 3-5
Season record: 9-7 and a wildcard berth

Bills - W. Dallas D will get this one done
Pats - L. The Pats have a bye week to scheme for Dallas. And we all know how well "their" Bill can scheme
Panthers- W. Shut down Davis, and you win. And nobody runs on Dallas
Dolphins - L - I actually have no ideal about this one. Could go either way
Eagles- W- this is the win that propels the boys to a division title, and a playoff apearance.
Skins - W. Spurrier is a tool
Giants - L - Giants are a hot, or not team, and i think they'll be hot this game.
Saints - W- The giants loss will be a blessing in disguise that gets the boys minds right for this game, and going into the p______s.(no jinx)

5-3, ending at 11-5. Yeah 11-5.
for some reason i don't believe myself about this one. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]
