I wouldn't disagree with that, the Cowboys will be better this coming season, but...You still ain't got no QUARTERBACK!!!
The Cowgirls made some smart moves, but they need a QB (no, bledsoe isn't the answer). I see the 'girls winning 10 games this year, but far from being a dominant team.
Vikes are looking tough, as long as Tice doesnt mess things up they will be a contender in the playoffs this year...
Cant wait for week one, Bucs !!!
<< <i>Vikes are looking tough, as long as Tice doesnt mess things up they will be a contender in the playoffs this year...

But doesn't he always find a way to mess things up? There's a reason why he's the lowest paid (by far) head coach in the league.
The vikes *should* be a great team this year...
lol i can only hope so
I wouldn't say we have no quarterback. If you give Bledsoe time he can hurt you . I believe he threw 20 td's last year and had 16 ints which isn't great but not terrible. If the defense plays like i think they will and Julius Jones and Barber have good years on the ground then perhaps they won't need All-Pro play from their qb.
Brad Johnson and Trent Dilfer have rings, anythings possible
Axtell - if that was supposed to be an insult - it wasn't a very good one. Kuhlmann and KOBEcollector would kill for a 10 - 6 season. AHHHHHH - I see now what you're trying to do - give 'em hope and then shattering the hope is even more devilish. Very good Axtell - sorry I didn't see your scheme ahead of time - LOL. Hey, maybe the Cowboys will go 16 - 0 HA! HA! HA!
"wouldn't disagree with that, the Cowboys will be better this coming season, but...You still ain't got no QUARTERBACK!!!"
The Sheagles have Mcnadd, Viqueens have Culpepper, and they still don't have a ring. Just because you have a good QB that doesn't mean you will win a ring.
Sheagles and ViQueens!!!! Aw shucks man ... my sides are splittin!
<< <i> I agree with KOBEcollector. If the Boys Offense can stay health they will be fine. >>
Healthy!?! The QB is so old he needs Preparation H on a regular basis.
Next Parcells will call Harry Carson and LT. Carson will come out of retirement so that he can validate his opinion that he should be in the HOF, and LT will start smoking crack again to help the NFL keep attention away from the steroid problem.
The Cowpokies will go 9-7. If they get a playoff berth they will lose the first game.
After dying his hair blonde again halfway through the season Parcells will retire after the playoffs, claiming chemical poisoning clouded his decision making.
Not next season and not with Parcells.
ok . If you say so Cleo
Parcells is finally putting together the type of defense he's been wanting to the whole time he's been in Dallas ( bigger guys )
When he first got to Dallas he wasn't crazy about the size of their line and their linebackers . Their D was ranked like 2nd in the league at the time so i guess he didn't want to change anything. Well after last years horrible play on D he decided to do things his way
I just sense the tide shifting a bit thats all. Will we win the division this year ? probablly not, but it wouldn't shock me if were right there at the end.

Just not sure how improving dallas' defense is going to give bledsoe any more time than it did Vinny. Neither one are mobile (at all) and with no time, they both are going to end up with the same results. With a great running back, all the D needs to do is collapse on the run, and keep their receivers in single coverage. Keyshawn surely doesn't warrant double coverage, and no one on that team scares me with speed, and I suspect the defense is going to be called upon a lot to win games. With a young team, I'm not sure how well that is going to happen.
their hopes will be dashed however ...
..nfc east...still a weak division
Kevin
GO BUCS
their hopes will be dashed however ... >>
ONCE AGAIN the Eagles can hope for a Super Bowl Championship
However, ONCE AGAIN their hopes will be dashed
But the Eagles will win the NFC East again, and head to the NFC Championship game again. Although the boys are my most hated team, I am just being a football realist. They do not have the personnel, and Parcells no longer has Belicheck to win him some games.
dallas will be fine next year, not only did they have an awesome draft, they also signed some great free agents.
Couldn't disagree more
Not sure if you've been keeping up with what Dallas has been doing so far this offseason but they've upgraded thier team alot. And i don't believe they're done
I'll tell you what. You go up and down both rosters and you'll see just as much or even more talent on Dallas roster . Yes you have a nice advantage at Qb but alot of the other aspects of the game are close
you mean free agent ex-Jets .... Parcells has been burned before, and now he is praising Bledsoe, much like he was praising the Vin Man this time last year. I just don't see Aaron Glenn and Ferguson as "great free agents". Maybe a slight upgrade to what they had, but not much more.
Who exactly has Dallas upgraded with? They had a great draft, but there's no way those players are going to make an impact this year...just won't happen. Bledsoe, while an improvement over Vinny 'the Statue', but what's that saying? Dallas has an edge at RB, but who is Bledsoe going to throw to? Meshawn? Who's their deep speed threat? They don't have one....which means defenses are going to tee off on Jones.
While dallas will have a better record than they did last year, thinking they are going to compete with philly for the divison is pure folly at this point, and sure to make this upcoming season a very, very long one.
lol your a funny guy
First off since you don't how they upgraded i'll fill you in
Adding Marco Rivera to an offensive line that sent 2 players to the Pro Bowl last year was a very good move IMO . Just go ask Farve how important Rivera was to that o-line
1420, The Cowboys had trouble at times stopping the run last year so if you think adding a guy like Jason Ferguson was " maybe a slight upgrade " i'd have to say thats a bit of an understatement
The Cowboys all last year needed help at corner opposite Terrance Newman so picking up both Anthony Henry ( 10 picks his rc year and one of the best db's on the f.a market ) and Aaron Glenn was huge for them
Dan Cambell's one of the best blocking Tight Ends in football who happened to miss 04 with a knee injury will be back also
Plus throw in the draft that they had and thats how i feel they've upgraded from last year
And by the way Axtell if you don't think Terry Glenn is a deep threat you don't know much about football my friend
<< <i>

hahahahaha
Talk about YOU being the funny guy!
Terry Glenn is a deep threat? Since when? He's 30 years old, and here are his receptions and yards for the past few years:
2004 24 400
2003 52 754
2002 56 817
2001 14 204
2000 79 963
1999 69 1147
So it's been 5 years since he's had a 1000 yard season, yet I am ignorant for not considering him a deep threat? You think it says something when he's over 30 and hasn't sniffed 1000 yards in 5 years?
And then you have Meshawn lining up opposite him...and no one will ever consider him a speed guy....I saw him first hand in Tampa. He'll block, he's a great possession receiver, but he's not going to outrun anyone.
P.S Put the N.F.L Almanac down and try watching a game sometime
<< <i>Like i said if you dont think Glenn is a deep threat you don't know much about football, which im seriously starting to believe
P.S Put the N.F.L Almanac down and try watching a game sometime
I probably watch more games than you do. I've had sunday ticket since it became available, and I doubt there is anyone outside of Dallas who considers Glenn a speed threat.
Even though he was injured last year, in his 2 previous games, he was only able to get 50 or so catches, for about 800 yards. And he 'somehow finds the end zone'? 7 TD's in 2 years is finding the end zone?
Look I am not going to argue minute facts here, but Glenn is not a speed threat, no matter how much you want him to be. The fact he's over 30 doesn't help him, either.
Nah, were in the same boat there. I've had the Ticket for years and also have had NBA League Pass since 2000 i believe and just stopped getting MLB Extra innings last year . Wife won that battle
I haven't missed a Cowboy game in lord knows how long so you can believe any of those stats you want, the fact is Glenn did stretch the field as a Cowboy and has his whole career. Maybe your getting him mixed up with another player or something .
ADD THE A-TRAIN TO THE LIST OF UPGRADES
Plus what happens if Jones goes down again ? I wouldn't want to rely on a rookie to carry the load
COWBOYS SUCK!!!!!
Lookie what i came across here Axtell
Glenn has no speed and is not a deep threat huh
SCOUTING REPORT: Terry Glenn still has tremendous speed and excellent hands. If he can stay healthy, he will give Dallas the big-play receiver coach Bill Parcells wants to line up alongside Jason Witten. Glenn is tough enough to run crossing routes in the middle of the field, and he has the speed to run past two-deep coverage, if the safety cheats too much in the middle of the field. He will drop a pass every now and then because of a concentration lapse, but he makes some spectacular grabs. He tore a ligament in his foot last October, ending his season, but has fully recovered and is running the 40 in the 4.4s.
I am a forgiving kind of guy so i do accept your appology lol

First, how sad is it you dug this thread up from how long ago?
Second, who cares? How long has it been since he's had a good year? Come talk to me when he has 1000 yards receiving (I suspect you'll be holding your tongue a long, long time).
Ya your right it was just so loooong ago. Had to flip thru pages and pages of topics to find it. Try 2nd page pal
Second, who cares?
Figured you'd lose interest once you were proven wrong
Sure you have NFL Sunday Ticket ?
Lost cuase man! axtell is never wrong!!!! just keep checking threads! Mets are gonna crush the mariners so he will be crying that week also. saying something like pedro and beltran and floyd and reyes and piazza and wright all stink! bc there not mariners.
we all know the cowboys will be much better this year. ( heck axtell said we would be 10-6) !!
Think it's coincidence that Buffalo chose a guy with 5 career snaps over Bledsoe?
as for the passing game we will be fine, bledsoe can still throw the ball. he will be better then vinny was. add a healthy running game to that and a much better defense!! well like you said 10-6! im thinking 9-7(wild card all the way to ) 12-4 division champs!
I find it humorous that all you do is throw stats around all the time without knowing what your talking about.
Do me a favor, put down the NFL Almanac, pick up your t.v controller and order the NFL Sunday ticket so you can actually watch the games this year so in future discussions you'll have some sort of idea of what your talking about
axtell you do relize the cowboys have 3 starting pro bowlers on there line this year.
Of course he dosen't . If he didn't know Glenn, who's been in the league for how many years now has speed, how's he supposed to know how good Dallas's O-line is . They don't tell you this stuff in the NFL Almanac
And you guys seem fixated on having those pro bowlers on the O line. Who cares?
Do you think it's a coincidence that Dallas has been scooping up other team's castoffs? I mean Buffalo ditches Bledsoe in favor of JP, a QB with essentially NO NFL experience.
Anyways, I should know better than trying to talk football with a couple of cowboy FANATICS...unable to even see the facts straight.
That's telling 'em Axtell. Thank goodness Eagles fans ain't like that!
Funny how i showed that you had no idea what you were talking about with Glenn yet " we " don't see the facts straight lol . Way to put a spin on things
Do you think it's a coincidence that Dallas has been scooping up other team's castoffs?
And Ike Hilliard isn't a castoff ? Give me a friggin break dude

But did you see me here claiming Ike Hilliard as my team's deep threat? He may not even make the team...he was signed for the league minimum...hardly a far cry from 'oh my god he's our deep theat!'
I think I'm the one needing a break here..a break from these cowgirl fanbois.
