The Valley Ranch Review: Bring on the Bucs! Looking Forward to the 2009 Cowboys

The teams of the NFC South, the AFC West, along with the Seahawks and Saints - plus the Beasts in the East - will all see the blue star on their season schedules. The early predictors say the Cowboys schedule looks easy in September, but tough come December. Brrr. We all know how cold the Cowboys can be in December.

Calvin Watkins predicts 8-8, Todd Archer says 9-7 and Tim Cowlishaw is the optimist of the bunch over at the DMN with a 10-6 guess.

The Sporting News has a much more optimistic view of the Cowboys, predicting the team will end up as one of the NFL's final four teams.

As always, a plethora of articles popped-up immediately after the schedule release chronicling the Cowboys dominance of the TV market.

Former Cowboys wide receiver, Tony Hill, will be throwing a charity basketball event for his alma mater, Cal Poly.

Among those playing will be Hill, as well as Dallas Cowboys Roy Williams (the receiver), Terence Newman, Martellus Bennett, and Sam Hurd, all of whom Hill is bringing to Long Beach from Dallas. They'll be squaring off against the Snoop Dogg All-Stars, a team that features Snoop, as well as Warren G, David Banner, Ricky Davis, and Mike Epps. Hill says this week they'll have some more names to announce as the schedule and lineup are finalized.

Oklahoma State's Brandon Pettigrew looks up to some NFL tough guys at the tight end position.

It's inspiring to see top guys such as the Cowboys' Jason Witten and the Chargers' Antonio Gates play through everything. Even though they may have all these injuries, you respect them when they suck it up and keep playing.

I like how Witten is versatile and does a lot of things well. That's the kind of role I would love -- tough enough to block, but also be able to stretch the field as a receiver.

The annual Dallas Day went down at The Ranch on Monday.

Iowa cornerback Bradley Fletcher is visiting the Cowboys.

This is not the first time

That we have played TB in the season opener.

Last time it was Sept 9, 2001 (Game 1) in DAL
Score: TB 10 DAL 6 (LOSS)

What is our ALL-TIME RECORD versus TB?
7 Wins and 2 Losses

However, the 2 losses were the two most recent games (2000, 2001)

History versus TB:
1977 WIN 23-7
1980 WIN 28-17
1981 WIN 38-0 (playoff)
1982 WIN 14-9
1982 WIN 30-17 (playoff)
1983 WIN 27-24
1990 WIN 14-10
2000 LOSS 7-27
2001 LOSS 6-10 (opening day)

In our most recent game against them (Opening Day or otherwise)...

…we beat them with Brad Johnson at QB. Color me unconcerned.

Larry Allen benched 700 pounds. That is Leonard Davis times two.

Bishop - i know we played TB twice in 1990 and won both...and of course we played them last year

and that 10-6 loss in 2001 was Quincy Carter’s first game….i would throw that one out

now that i think of it…we lost to TB in Tampa in 2003…16-0

where you get those stats from???

Drinking yes, I think it's mandatory in a Chi-town bar.

I could have sworn that was towards the middle of the season because Dallas was playing better than expected, and TB was one of the top teams in the NFC so it was a test to see if Dallas was for real or not. I guess I’m losing my mind, oh well.

Help

I’m a lifelong cowboy fan, but i find myself concerned for the season. I have always thought that the boys could win the superbowl, but after the past couple of years(not to mention the bad offseason moves already), I just don’t see it. I hope i’m wrong. this is the first year that they are going to have to show me something first. Romo better get his head out of his @$$ this year.

Superbowl or bust!

Where were you during the Chan years? Wait, wait bring back the Babe! The NFL has changed. The talent is spread, teams turn around quickly. There’s no reason to believe that this team couldn’t go all the way. The way the Cards caught fire last year, any team in the NFCE could make a deep run. I like the Boy’s chances.

bad offseason moves?

only questionable one that I can see is cutting TO. New ST coach, no more tank, pacman, signed sensabaugh, got igor for half the price of canty, traded thomas for brooking essentially. A pretty low key offseason filled with smart decisions imo.

What bad offseason moves? TO?

The Cowboys have quietly filled some holes with guys who can start from Day 1.

Just because Jerry didn’t spend a fortune to do it doesn’t make it any less successful.

was it the record? They have new coaches, no sense of direction. I don’t expect much from Tampa Bay

by AustonianAggie on Apr 15, 2009 12:17 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

I've heard that before.

Anyone remember Miami? New coach no expectations playoff team? If there is one thing I absolutely hate about the Cowboys is that they will let inferior teams play with them. They should have put St Louis down like a rabid dog, but didn’t. Tampa Bay should not have been on the same field with them and almost won. If they the beat the crap out of teams you should beat the crap out of, and do better than average against the teams in their talent range then we will go far. But, if they keep struggling with the teams they should beat handily, and do less than average against comparable copetition, then I can see us losing some we shouldn’t and not winning many we shouldn’t.

When did I become a Cowboy fan? When my mom told me I was.

They beat the crap out of the Browns, 49ers, Seahawks.

Also in 07 when we played bad teams (except the Bills) we usually crushed them. Brad Johnson was a huge huge reason we lost the Rams game in 08.

sorry, but we weren’t going to beat many teams with him. The bucs game we played fantasitic D, but were aided by the fact that he didn’t throw multiple INTs, and all those penalties the bucs got at the end fo the first half.

yea what are you talking about

we generally don’t let the bad teams hang with us. Browns, 49ers seahawks last year…we pounded those 3. While cincy played us close, they were a hard out for every team in our division, we were the only team that convincingly beat them. In 2007, we killed miami, chicago, jets, TB, and probably whatever nfc west team we played (I forget who it was, probably AZ) but had clsoe games against buffalo, minny, detroit. Still…our last loss to a bad team with romo at qb was in week a17 against detroit 2 years ago.

I was at the Detroit game in 2007 and after trailing the entire game Dallas won it with about 23 seconds left in the game. It was amazing. There were more Dallas Jackets and Jersey in the house than Detroit.

there's no reason the Cowboys shouldn't win 10 or 11 games

if they stay relatively healthy which obviously is a big if. I think they would have easily made the playoffs in 2008 if Romo and the Cat were healthy all year.

Even if they have their annual Dec swoon this year, they should win almost all of their games in Sept and Oct which should give them some cushion heading into Nov and Dec.

In Romo we Trust

by Terry on Apr 15, 2009 12:27 PM CDT reply actions   0 recs

I second that, I said it yesterday going in to week 9 we could be 7-0, and

if we are bad as last year and split with division opponents and beat Raiders , there you have it 10 wins, everything else is gravy.

by dcfanz on Apr 15, 2009 12:34 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

That's a fair estimate

Not knowing what will happen injury wise, I’d still guess 10 wins at least.

They can’t have another Dec swoon though, I can’t bear to hear the “Told ya so’s” from the peanut gallery.

Calvin Watkins is a tool

His he predicting the same injuries, maybe he believes Romo and Witten will blow up the locker room. Certainly if the last game shapes expectations why not just say 0-16?

The Boys have real weapons on O, a potentially dominating D. Special teams should get a boost from a healthy Felix, and MacB.

Watkins is a fool this team is at least 9-7/

actualy I like the put down by the talking heads, it just brings the expectations down and when we win

@ KC = win
BYE
vs ATL = win
vs SEA = win
@ PHI = loss
@ GB = loss
vs WAS = win
vs OAK = win
@ NYG = loss
vs SD = loss
@ NO = loss

Cowboys Becoming a Punch Line

As Tex has been outlining for years, the Tony Romo era has become a joke:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DptkI0EY6ZY

Mrs. Doubtfire said that the circus never stays in town forever, but it sure feels like this Simpsons debacle has lingered forever. Now, this once proud franchise has become a joke, an International punch line for pseudo celebrity, fame without accomplishment, and just plain silliness. And Romo, who is already responsible for three of the worst on-the-field moments in franchise history, is now doing his best to soil the historic franchise with his juvenile relationships and publicity stunts.

by Montecito Tex on Apr 15, 2009 12:46 PM CDT reply actions   1 recs

Irony

A grown man claiming to be a millionaire oil guy, talking in the third person, and obsessing over another man calling something a punch line.

Really, it’s like no matter what the subject is you can bring it back to Romo.

“Ware gets a new contract”- Tex is tired of the poor man’s Matt Leinart running a franchise.

“The McRibb is back at McDonalds”- Tony Romo will never win a playoff game.

It’s the same statement recycled and put out again… and again.. and again.

I used to think you were a fan of the team, but I honestly think that you thrive off of obsessing on different people. The thing is, when your wrong about something you never point out to anytime you were weren’t right, but when you’re right… OH MAN, everyone will hear it.

When Romo has good games, your name never comes up on these boards, whe he has a bad one however your like the small member of a gang who will go up to someone and kick them once the big dudes put him down.

Edwards to the Giants

For a 2nd and a 5th plus a young receiver. Does anybody doubt that Braylon Edwards is much better than Roy Williams? Had we been a little bit patient, we could have landed a better receiver at a much cheaper price – and kept our 1st round pick.

They are different RWs

Edwards is more willing to mix it up with DBs but doesn’t have the same wheels as Williams. Williams also has better hands.

The real question is why didn’t Jerry wait (save the picks) if he was going to get Williams at the market price. The oh nuts we missed on Williams fallback, would be TO still on the team, a first and an extra third round pick with Harrison or Holt available for a one year rental.

Hopefully TO proves to be addition by subtraction, and Roy steps it up to become the top 10 player he was drafted to be.

Neither

of them are all that great or worth a 1 and 3. I would have preferred to just keep the picks, or at least traded a 1st when we had two of them.

Both of them are better than the rest of the guys on either the ’Boys or Giants (Steve Smith has potential though), but neither are worth multiple high picks.

If the Browns don’t take hixon (and they shouldn’t) and the giants have to give up steve smith, I’m not sure I like that trade. Smith is a very quality role player , and giving up quality and 2 picks for flashy and drops doesn’t sound like the solution to me.

Idea for a Football Outsiders article.

As much as the bust rate for 1st-round wide receivers gets trotted out by certain folks, I’d like to know the bust rate of wide receivers who are overpaid free agent signings and/or get acquired for multiple draft picks.

Who can forget David Boston who had two awesome back-to-back years for the Cards before deciding he wanted to be a self-absorbed steroid droid instead of honing his craft enough to be a long-term superstar at receiver?

The good news and bad news is that it’s even money one or both of Edwards and Williams end up being overly costly acquisitions that never meet expectations.
