Thats really not that front loaded.

That's certainly not as frontloaded as the NFL Network crew made it sound. Thanks for those numbers.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

No.

I agree with the rest of the last place teams except I would replace STL with the Cards.

Too early for me to make my Super Bowl prediction. I think it's a bit tougher this year. AFC is still between the Broncos and Pats. The NFC could go many different ways.

I'm really liking the Saints this year. I have a good feeling about them. And if they get homefield advantage, they're going all the way. But the same can be said for the Seahawks.

I think the Seahawks lost enough players in the offseason to not get the #1 seed.

**** Peyton and the Broncos. I want the forehead to go out a loser.

If you want to make a bet with me that the Titans will finish last in the AFCS, I'm all over it.

I don't get all of the gloom for the Cowboys. I think they'll always be in the mix in that division because it isn't that strong.

The carnage has started...

Vick Ballard suffered a torn Achilles during Friday's training camp practice.

Kendall Hunter tore the ACL in his right knee during Friday's practice.

Cecil Shorts is expected to miss "several weeks" with a hamstring strain.

Worst defense in the league last year, and it has gotten even worse (on paper) this year. Combine that with an aging Romo coming off of surgery, and it makes a lot of sense to me.

The other three teams in the division have all gotten better in the offseason. Cowboys are way behind. Garrett will be fired by week 9. Book it.

Yep. I'm still not sure who their starting LB's are going to be?

Also, my sources tell me if Dallas has a losing record by week 8, Jerry will try to find a way to fire himself, without really doing it.

And yet they didn't finish in last place. I'm not sold on the Eagles, I think the loss of Jackson will be bigger than people anticipate and definitely on Foles. The Giants and Skins got better If you say so. Neither mad significant enough changes that I put them head and shoulders above the Cowboys.

Yeah that's not good enough reason why they will finish in last place.

True Story...Jer-ruh is the George Lucas of the NFL. Build something great then tear it down. As a "former" fan of this team since the mid 80's I can say with confidence that this team is done. As long as Jerry runs it and Romo is under center your chances are slim to now at winning the division. Oh and slim just left town.....in 1998 as I was leaving the Wild Card game in which the Cardinals destroyed us at Texas Stadium I proclaimed this team will never win another Superbowl as long as Jerry is the owner. Sixteen years later he still has not proven me wrong.

Are you a Cowboys fan who actually root for his team?

Here we have a couple of Cowboys "fans" who root against their team starting Week 4 or 5 for a "better" draft pick...

[MD-Blu]

Have any of you all able to get NFL ST for free or at least at a lower price? I'm thinking about calling them and tell them that since Dish offers SECN that I'll switch to them if they don't offer NFL ST for free to try to keep me as a customer.

Yeah I root for the Cowboys. Been a fan for over 30 years.

I sure as hell do! 8-8, 7-9 and 9-7 is the worst that anyone can be in the NFL year after year. No playoffs and lousy draft pick! So yeah I root for MY TEAM to go 1-15 get the first pick to get rid of that pathetic loser Romo (pray that aother Andrew Luck will be in the draft)....year after year they go 8-8 and ruin any and all chances of getting better! Jones can't even get his timing right....he either fires a coach a year too late or lets one walk a year too soon. Just think had this team had Sean Peyton as a HC all these years. I think it's pathetic that my 24 year old daughter does not even remember seeing them in the Superbowl. Now that's fine if you are say a Cleveland Brown but the Cowboys are the most popular visible team in all of the NFL. They are the Yankee's and Lakers of the NFL and they have nothing to show for it in 18 years! They are not even worthy of a title like America's Team anymore. I think that title should be passed on to the Patriots now.

Anyone that actively roots against the team that they call themselves a 'fan' of is no true fan at all of that respective franchise. I would rather die than EVER go against any of my sports teams.

Yet they didn't finish last in the division because the Giants/Redskins sucked dong last year... this is a new year, and the Cowboys are noticeably worse (on paper) than last year.

I find it hilarious that you say the loss of DJax will really hurt the Eagles, but you say that the (Giants and) Redskins didn't improve significantly. DJax plays for the Redskins now. Lol. And let's not forget one of the Cowboys few bright spots on defense (Hatcher) now plays for the Redskins too.

Giants offseason additions: Rashad Jennings, Dominque Rodgers-Cromartie, Walter Thurmond
Giants offseason subtractions: Justin Tuck, Chris Snee, David Baas, Aaron Ross, Andre Brown

Redskins offseason additions: DeSean Jackson, Jason Hatcher, Andre Roberts
Redskins offseason subtractions: none that come to mind

Cowboys offseason additions: Jeremy Mincey, Amobi Okoye, Henry Melton, Rolando McClain LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL
Cowboys offseason subtractions: DeMarcus Ware, Jason Hatcher, Miles Austin (and don't forget Sean Lee is out for the year)

It's obvious. Blatantly obvious. That's not to say the Cowboys are guaranteed to finish in last. There are no guarantees in this league. But on paper they are easily the worst team in that division. The same could have been said for the Jets last season, and they came within a W of making the playoffs (Cowboys style ).

The additions/subtractions were really just off the top of my head, and I left all rookies and irrelevant players off of it. I may have forgotten some, so fill me in if I'm overlooking someone.
