Who Would Win - Godzilla vs. the Ranch Hands?

This year is already shaping up to be almost diametrically opposite from last year. We’re already getting poo-poo’d in the press for the draft, Jerry jettisoned much baggage, we even let go a few coaches, special teams might actually be special now,and for Christ sakes the “Our Lady of Perpetual Injury” bus has to leave our parking lot this year.

Had Romo not been injured last year, we win at least two more games and make the playoffs. From there anything could have happened (see Cardinals, Arizona). Talent wins championships, chemistry is just a bonus, and more often than not simply the by product of success

and a better 2009 than 2008. I think more positional battles can bring the best out of more players.

On a different note, I am impressed with Roy Williams and the other receivers started working with Romo not too long after the season ended. Practice does make perfect. I’m glad Williams sees the value in it. Owens couldn’t bother with it unless it was mandatory. How many times were Owens and Romo on a different page during the season? Hopefully, Williams and Romo won’t have near as many misfires.

I don’t know if we technically have a better team, or even a better team spirit now, but I do know we now have a lot of players who are one year wiser, having learned several valuable lessons from the ’08 fiasco. The guys we drafted should hopefully be coming into a more cohesive and positive locker room than years prior. That sounds promising to me.

i’m ready to try it this way this year. i think it might just work. it’s not like other teams haven’t had success with it (e.g. last year’s champs), but it’s kind of against jerry’s nature. It’s The COWBOYS! The greatest sports franchise in the world. And moving into the biggest stadium ever no less! It’s supposed to be glamour and personality and entertainment! lol. Who knows Jerry’s mind, but I think he really realized that he needs to take a different approach, that all that other stuff only works if the football part is actually working. Not like he didn’t know that before but last year he got stung by it. So he’s focused on basics, role players, team players, smart players, hungry hard working players, coachable athletes, high character guys. We still have a huuuge amount of talent on this team, but perhaps now it will be truly be in service to the team first.

Key injuries in 2009 as in 2008 would probably result in an encore of last year irrespective of the state of the teams chemistry. I’ll take talented and well coached overachievers along with a few D Wares.

have already answered that question. If you look at their SB rosters, you will obviously see some talented superstars, but the majority of their players are just solid, unselfish, hard working team players who do the dirty work and receive none of the accolades.

I think if you look at our off season moves, Jerry is finally realizing thats the way you have to win championships.

had less all around talent. We had the “triplets” and a bunch of players that played their overachieving butts off. Also, we had a dominant offensive line. If one thing will turn this team from an also ran to a Champ is a dominant offensive line. A really good defensive line would help too.

One of the best posts of the year – yes, this question will surely be answered in nine months…re: “what could have been”, after reviewing the season over and over, special teams cost us two games and Romo being out cost us at least one – so there you go…last year we very easily could have been 12-4 and after reviewing the previous 13 – 3 season, we probably won two that we should have lost so that should/could have been 11-5 season. And that’s the story, fellas…the King’s game is the Game of kings.

along with the old gang. This is the time to make your first post if you haven’t before. It’s easy…are you a Godzilla or a Ranch Hand?

and he’s a team player like when he teamed up with Mothra. The only fight I want to know about is Wolverine vs the Hulk

I too had to give up my fandom of TO. His interview with Deion was the end. After that I knew he had to go, that he was a prima donna, and what other teams had said about TO was true. Combine him with a bunch of other flashy but under performing players, talkative Tank Johnson, Pacman Jones… I hope it was enough to lift that dark cloud from off the Cowboys

This wouldn’t be a good fight at all, the Hulk would simply man handle Wolverine like a rag doll.

If bullets from a machine gun can’t penetrate the Hulk, neither could Wolverine’s antimantium claws.

For the last three years I’ve been paying $250 for the NFL package to watch the Cowboys… This year is up to $280. It seemed like most of the Boys game was on national TV, and sometime, I felt I just threw my money away.. How does this year looks like. II am thinking if it worth it for me to sign up again. Does anyone know how many games will be televised this year? Thanks.

Pearl harbor to be exact.

with a team having its stars. Troy and Emmit were examples of stars with their heads screwed on right. Even Michael with his problems knew that he had to walk the walk. It seems that with the money thrown around now, it’s easier for the prima donnas to give less than full effort. A talent with the ranch hand mentally is the player you want. If you have to choose take hard work and heart over talent every time.

I’m all for the chemistry fixes we’ve tried to implement this offseason, but we’re kidding ourselves if we don’t think last year’s team underachieved at least in part due to a lot of very significant injuries.

meant AN excuse.
