September 2, 20187 yr Offseason is just about done aside from filling out the bottom of the roster. This time next week, we will be getting ready for the season opener against Panthers! I am sensing a 10-6 type season.
September 2, 20187 yr 10-6 is laughable. Switch them around is more likely. My prediction is an optimistic 8-8.

September 3, 20187 yr Packers signed Jackson..... Really odd roster assembly by Garrett and staff. Maybe they reach back out to Scarborough. Edited September 3, 20187 yr by Patrick Bateman
September 3, 20187 yr Witten going to the tv side single handedly brought that avg age down about 10 spots. They have to get Scarbrough or another back on the PS if theyre going to only go with Zeke and Rod Smith. An injury to either one and that guy needs to be called up and know what the hell is going on immediately. Sucks Jackson got claimed
September 3, 20187 yr 13 minutes ago, Anton Chigurh said: Won’t Green Bay just cut Jackson once Jones gets back? I think because he was signed before first game, his contract is guaranteed for the season, not just games he's with the organization. Could be wrong about that, but I think I read that somewhere...
September 3, 20187 yr Author Panthers open up as 2.5 point favorites. Sent from my SM-N910T using Tapatalk
September 3, 20187 yr I wonder if there isn’t something about message boards that brings out the most negative fans. 10-6/11-5 if just for the fact that our best player is no longer under constant stress about his season getting yanked. Plus randy looks like an all pro
September 3, 20187 yr Bo knows the practice squad. Signed there. We stashed Noah Brown on IR and signed Deonte to contract.
September 3, 20187 yr This team has the talent of a 12 win team. Unfortunately it has the HC and OC that will be a negative and knock that expected win total down by 2 or 3 games. 9 to 10 wins. 12 to 14 if Belichick was coaching it.
September 3, 20187 yr Im in for 10-12 wins....dont get the negativity...we have injury/illness on o line but we have zeke all season and defense should get lots of pressure
September 3, 20187 yr I'll go 9-7. Would be 10-6 based on the roster but Garrett is good for one loss all by himself.
September 3, 20187 yr 18 minutes ago, Patrick Bateman said: Whoops..... Good thing we're deep at DT..... Wait. The Cowboys are really the suck at risking players on the wire. Nobody was going claim White. Price is a proven rotation DT with good recent tape that's still cheap and pretty young. And that's a paper thin position that was not wise to risk. They need a bottom of the roster manager that isn't a moron...after they get a top of the roster manager...
September 3, 20187 yr Deonte got a guaranteed million, then he was cut, then they signed him back for another million. Alrighty then...
September 3, 20187 yr 13 minutes ago, DougO said: Deonte got a guaranteed million, then he was cut, then they signed him back for another million. Alrighty then... Well they had all that extra cash laying around from cutting a kicker who last year while injured had an over 10% drop to a career worst year of 75% made field goals. So they could keep a kicker that in 4 years of lower pressure CFL ball has a career fg made of 78% Fucking geniuses we're dealing with here.
September 4, 20187 yr I'm glad we brought Bo back. Bailey must have not been able to get back to form after that groin injury. Crazy.
September 4, 20187 yr I predict injury catastrophe, 5 wins, red menace fired and jerry finally assumes direct control and installs himself as hc
September 4, 20187 yr How do you get cut from the practice squad after 2 days? I thought you would just not be placed on it. Plus I thought Tapper was playing decently in the preseason.
September 4, 20187 yr Is it odd that I was wildly optimistic about this team until Frederick went down? Now, I feel like 10-6 is the absolute ceiling on this thing. (Of course, I can't believe Earl isn't wearing a Cowboys uniform at this point either.)
September 4, 20187 yr Put me in at 8-8 I don't believe in the coaching staff or Dak being an elite QB. Esp. since we don't exactly have the WR/TE in the world.

September 4, 20187 yr I'm going 10-6 and I feel like I am being optimistic to get that. If they can win this week, then I will be pretty high on their chances to make the playoffs.

Dak hasn't had a great set of WRs since he started. Dez and Witten were already way past what they used to be. Hell Beasley was out most reliable WR in 2016. Our WR core is no different than it was in 2016. As long as we have Zeke, we will be fine on offense. It will come down to the defense as always. If they can step up like so many think they can, we can get to 10 wins.
September 5, 20187 yr If they can’t strike a deal with another team, they’ll lose him for nothing and get a 3rd rd comp pick in 2020. Should’ve taken the 2nd in 2019.
September 5, 20187 yr Author I'm wondering if Seattle is just stalling until after we play them in week 3?

September 5, 20187 yr Earl is reporting today. https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2018/09/05/earl-thomas-reporting-to-seahawks-today/
September 5, 20187 yr Yeah. Not giving up a first for Earl. Go get him after the season.This. My guess is this isn’t over yet, though.
September 5, 20187 yr Meanwhile.... we've let other safeties sign as UFA's and let all of training camp go by if we wanted to make a move.
September 5, 20187 yr It makes no sense for Seattle to trade him. They had a really good draft and trading him now would basically signal to the locker room that this season is not worth fighting for. The Cowboys gave it a shot but don't need to give anything up for Earl. Their problem they had is they didn't go get the Cincinnati starter that was cut when they had the chance and they allowed him to sign for peanuts elsewhere
September 5, 20187 yr Don’t really follow the cowboys as much anymore, but I’m confused by the optimism. Offensively, we are one injury to Zeke, Dak or Smith from being the worst offense in the NFL. The OL is already banged up. The WR core is the worst in the league. We have no TE. I get the feeling Jerry is trying to sabotage Dak this year so he doesn’t have to pay him. Defensively, the DL is okay. D-Law is a beast. The LBs are reliant on Sean Lee who will miss 4 games minimum. Otherwise this is a below average group. The DBs are subpar. Marinelli is a good coach which gives me a little hope. Jason Garrett is terrible. This looks like a last place team and the schedule is difficult with the AFC South suddenly being good. Prediction is 5-11. Hope I’m wrong.

You can use the injury thing with practically any other team. The NFL is an 8-8 league now. Catch a few breaks, get hot and you can win the title (see Philly in 2017). Have an injury or two to key players and you're picking in the Top 10 next April.
September 5, 20187 yr 538 Elo has Dallas as the 8th best team in the NFL, most likely record is 9 - 7. 6th highest Super Bowl odds. I'm happy Seattle passed on the 2nd round offer for Earl. That's a dumb decision by them, feels like if any other team other than Dallas made that offer they would have executed a trade. They just didn't want Earl and Dallas to win. The Seahawks have a pretty easy schedule to open, so unless they are just absolutely fucking abysmal, they won't be in "asset dump mode" prior to the trade deadline.
