Cowboys By The Numbers

PrintHey, I'm a fan. I don't always feel like using logic, sometimes I just want to rant and make demands. Because I'm a fan I believe the Cowboys owe me something and so I'm providing them with some goals in a clear and easily understood list. It's rumored that Jerry Jones pays their salaries but ultimately I do. I buy the ticket and go to see a game a year. I buy their merchandise. I watch their games on TV and endure the endless commercials that generate the revenue to pay for their salaries. I should have a say.
This is pure emotion I'm talking here - not logic or reason. I want what I want and I want it right now. (Or at least this season) Alright Cowboys, I'm willing to do my part, here is what I expect from you.
4000 - yards from Romo
1100 - yards from Felix
1000 - yards from Choice
960 - minutes of hard played, passionate football during the regular season.
85 - catches from Roy Williams
53 - egos in check that never rise above the team
35 - salary cap violations by Dan Snyder uncovered by the commissioner
21 - points per game on offense average
14 - wins during the regular season, minimum
13 - points per game allowed on defense maximum
9 - draft picks forfeited by the Redskins for cap violations
5 - draft picks this year who make a contribution to the team
4 - false starts per season by Flozell Adams
3 - playoff wins minimum
1 - team united towards a common goal
0 - legal incidents that detract from the team
You're a fan. You have rights. What would you add to this list?

easy...
25 sacks for Ware
15 TD for Williams
20 goal line TD by Barber
0 TD allowed on passing plays of more than 30 yards.
20 Int’s by our deffense
Which player are you thinking of?
I’m hoping for 53 egos kept in check and that would hopefully result in no Wade Whacking on the sidelines.

you covered most of it
but, I really would like to have JG run plays that you , me and everone else doesn’t know in advance.
New Offensive Scheme
I’d like the Cowboys to be known again for their ingenuity.
One more
I’d love to see spearing come back into the league.
I remember the Cowboys being so good at it and it looked so cool. It was one of the reasons that I began to follow the Cowboys in the first place.

How about 1 35 point beat down of a division rival.

that includes 1 punt return for a TD ... and 1 kick blocked
Tar Heels started this college Bball season with one goal in mind - that loss to Kansas in last year's final 4 will make this team all bid-ness!
And a partridge in a pear tree!!!
There is no theory of evolution. Just a list of creatures Chuck Norris has allowed to live.
Home Field advantage throughout the playoffs
which means we had a great year. Then run the table and bring the 6th SB trophy home.
1 player who acts like a loss actually makes for a bad day!!!!

I always wonder why I seem to feel worse than the guys that got beat.
Paranoia taken to a new record level
Romo criticism seen behind every conceivable tree.

terry, i got your back on that one :P
… who else would they be referring to? LOL at the paranoia comment… um, who mentioned Romo?

Actually I was referring to reports of guys laughing and joking and playing cards
on the flight back from Philly.
I’m tired of the country club atmosphere.
I want guys that have a competitive fire…..
And Romo is one of the few here that do!
I wasn’t throwing Romo under the bus (This time)

Two Wins Each Against
The Skins
The Giants

a GM whose last name doesn’t start with “J”

Are you benching or trading Barber, by the way ???
Are Felix and Choice passing him on the depth chart?
Nope..
…I love me some Barbarian. I just envisioned him back in the closer role, after Felix and T.C. slashed and burned – MB3 comes in and grinds them down in the 4th Q.
"He has a peculiar felicity of expression." John Adams
So you want two 1,000 yard backs and then another 700 or so from MB3? And also 85 catches from our #1 WR?
I think you’re anticipating too many offensive snaps for this team…
Larry Allen benched 700 pounds. That is Leonard Davis times two.
I agree
I would be happy with 2,000 yards from all three backs and over 3,500 from Romo.
In Romo we Trust
If that happens...
then I’d say Dallas would have a very good chance of being a top 3 offense.

Wish list
A left tackle that plays hard all i mean all the time,and mistake free 90% of the time. Yea i know but hell im wishing. And the same for Tony (turnover by pick or fumble) Romo! Between Flo and Romo these guy have to cut down on mistake if not well ya’ll know.
My wish is for...
more realistic expecatations from fans.
More effort from team.
I want Dallas to win, but if they don’t they better be going down in a blaze of glory.

Sorry Cricket……You ain’t one of them!!!!!!
