Around SBN: Randy Moss A Raven?

Humble Pie is Yummy!


I am very happy to be in the process of being proven wrong.

Star-divide

Back in May I predicted an 8-8 finish for my beloved Cowboys.  I said I had seen nothing that gave me the belief this team was going to show the mental toughness necessary to go places in 2009. 

I'm not conviced that we've completely shed that monkey, but I am impressed at the steps the Cowboys are taking to toughen up.  Hard to believe that a stinker against the Chiefs may have marked the beginning of a turn-around for these Cowboys.  But ever since that game, the Cowboys have been getting better, smarter, and tougher.  Beating teams with winning records.  Beating bad teams in convincing fashion.  Beating good teams on the road. 

I am encouraged by this progress.  There is still half a season to go and all of December yet to be played, but these developments are making my predictions look lamer by the week... and I couldn't be happier about it.

Yep

and I HOPE we’re not done improving yet.A couple things I’m looking forward to – seeing our rookies who are coming back from injury get some more action. Seeing Romo and Roy get on the same page. And hopefully Ware will become more of a force.

I would say “the oline getting less penalties”, but at this point, we have to accept it, thank them for keeping Romo clean for the most part, and move on.

I'm guilty as well

After the meltdown in Philly last year, I truly believed that this team would never succeed under Wade. I chalked up this year as lost, though I hoped I was wrong.

What I am seeing is something I never thought I would and I hope the run continues – For Wade, for Romo, for all the UDFAs on our roster and all the crap they have had to swallow.
For Witten, Ware and Barber who have been busting their azzes for all these years with no playoff wins to show for it – This team is on a roll and I am hoping like hell it continues because I am enjoying the hell out of this season.

That's what's wrong with preseason predictions.

I try to maintain a cautious optimism but the future is impossible to predict. I just ride the waves and put my faith in the organization. Hasn’t payed off a whole lot the last few seasons but so far, this year is looking pretty good, no?
