So pretty much he predicted them to be one of the greatest two teams of all time! That's insane...how does everyone keep forgetting about their o-line and secondary. Besides that, even if Tony Romo turns out to be amazing, he's bound to make mistakes sooner or later.
So he was serious in picking them to go 16-0?? What a dipshit.
In related dipshit news Mike Golic picked the Cowboys to go the Super Bowl this morning. :doh:
Of course I'm a Skins homer, but honestly I just don't see what the Cowboys did last year to justify some of these ridiculous predictions we've heard lately. They seriously stumbled down the stretch last year, losing 3 of their last 4 regular season games, and then of course the first round playoff loss making that 4 of their last 5. Romo was horrible down the stretch as well culminating in the botched snap and overall shitty playoff game performance.
They lose their Hall of Fame coach and now they're Super Bowl favorites??
I'm just totally confused.

Of course I'm a Skins homer as well, and it's hard to be objective about the Skins, but not so much w/the other div. teams.
I think the Cowpokes pick for the div. title & even the super bowl, is a good one. I think their D is going to be much improved due to maturity of the young guys & Phillips cutting the D-line loose more. They already were talented, if Spencer can contribute they'll really be tough. the secondary remains their weakness on D.
Romo looked great for most of his starts & their O-line is not deep, but they have a good left side & center. The wr's are old & like many teams if they get a couple injuries on O you'll see big drop off in talent. Witten is still one of the best TEs in the game.
As for Parcells leaving, I think that's one more reason they'll be good. Look at his 4 years in Dallas; every year they ended poorly. I think that reflects on the coach & his style. Marty's teams & Coughlin's teams have always finished poorly too, whereas Gibbs' teams always played well in Dec. My point is that Parcells' grinding practices & micro-mgmt. is not well suited to today's players & it showed at the end of the year. I see them being much better late this year than last. Sunday night I see Eli getting pummeled many times, maybe getting hurt.
I think we can only get a split this year.

I don't think that it's so much as Dallas is that good, but the rest of the NFC is that bad. There are not too many contenders out there.
Until Dallas proves me wrong I can't see them winning more than 9 games this year.

Did you guys hear that idiot John Sibel pick the Cowboys to go 16-0 on his radio show?
Mike Golic made an idiotic Super Bowl pick this morning...Chargers (very possible) vs. Cowboys (no chance).
:pffff:

That didn't keep them out of the playoffs last year.

Agreed. I don't understand how a team with an iffy quarterback, old receivers and an underachieving coach is a sexy pick for the Superbowl...

I'm with you. I don't see how they've done anything to improve themselves. Their best DB is likely hobbled for the season. They didn't add any vital cogs on offense. They added Leonard "Fat Ass" Davis on offense. That is all.
Now they're Super Bowl favorites?! Give me a break.

Right. Honestly, just like every year the CARDINALS are a sexier pick as far as I'm concerned for the Super Bowl than the Cowboys. Everyone is all like, "But, but, but WARE is going to be a beast this year because he's a year older and improved."
Isn't every rookie in the rest of the NFC and the league even?
