Dallas Cowboys Report-Denial ain't just a river in Egypt.

Being a Cowboys fan all my life, born and breed in the DFW area,
I've seen the success and struggles of my beloved team. I'm a harsh critic because I can be. I'm quite sure I've earned it.
Every year I like to make some predictions on how the team will fare.
Last year I said this:

The Cowboys are poorly coached by a Poo Bear who's too soft for football and should be replaced immediately(he was fired 8 games later).

The Cowboys will show how undisciplined they are by folding and loosing most of their games early in the season.(they did)

There are three players whom you'll never be able to count on to finish a season: Tony Romo, Dez Bryant, Felix Jones.  (two of the three were out significant time)

What once was the premiere place for Special Teams has now become a tower of jello due to mismanagement, poor drafting and a lack of "Want-to." (again with the coaching)

Whens the last time you saw the Cowboys hit someone in the mouth and said, boy, they just kicked that teams ass? (1995 for me).

Cowboys finish 6-10 (they did)

Now this years predictions:

I like Jason Garrett. He will be an effective coach and many will take notice of his ability to lead.

Tony Romo is not the answer, We must find a QB for the future. (when you see Kitna enter this season,  it's time for Romo to go away for good)

When you hire a Ryan, you get a Ryan and all that entails... Expect punches being thrown on the sidelines and childish, crude, bullying remarks.

Felix Jones is not the answer, a new running back must emerge or be brought in. (Too injury prone).

Dez Bryant will not play an entire season his whole NFL career. (Too injury prone, lacks focus and most likely to be incarcerated).

Cowboys could surprise some, but finish 7-9. Jerry must take note of the Rangers and Mavericks keys to success from an ownership perspective and I hope the fans hit him right in his wallet to make him do so.

This team is in trouble, y'all.
I say we give Garrett a few years to turn it around, but he's gonna have to clean house and lead from the front office. Do you really think the team we have now, goes into practice today, and says, "We Can Win It All?"
Methinks not.
It's enough to drive you to drink...
UPDATE:
Cowboys finish 8-8 and miss the playoffs but had a chance to win the division and blow it anyway.
They won one more game than I expected due to the emergence of Demarco Murray.- No one saw that coming.- Anyhoo, they still suck because of an owner-gm-president who makes horrific decisions. Until Jones is out of the picture, the Pokes will be pokey...
"Talent-wise, I think they have it," Smith said in an ESPN interview. "Leadership-wise, they have some good leaders on the ballclub. Do they have enough? Probably not. Can they go up to New York and be mentally tough in this situation? I think Jason (Garrett) has done a very good job of preparing the guys to be physically and hopefully mentally tough, but I think mental toughness is the thing needed in games like this. --Emmit Smith
