Done. So what is your prediction for the Cowboys this season? I'm gonna say they get a Wild card spot, and get to the NFC Championship game.

Thanks.

With the great offseason they had -- much better than a year ago -- they should definitely be a playoff contender. The problem is going to be offense, especially early in the season. Too many new faces, and Bledsoe isn't much of an upgrade over Testaverde. But they vastly improved their defense. In the NFC, that fact alone should translate into two or three more wins, maybe more.

I think the Parcells master plan all along was to be a legitimate Super Bowl contender by the 2006-07 season. Give them one more offseason to fix the offense and they should be right on schedule.

I think Bledsoe is a huge upgrade from Vinnie, who's been a major choker since the Orange Bowl. I think he single handedly lost a couple of games last year, especially with the fumble in the last 3 minutes of the Pittsburg game when we were up. He puts up decent numbers but always finds the most critical time to make a major blunder (just slightly behind 1) never get involved in a land war in asia, and 2) never go up against a sicilian when death is on the line).

If Julius Jones does as good as he did last year, that will take alot of pressure off Bledsoe, and the offense could do ok.

On defense, I've got to believe that the draft helps us alot and Newman won't have as bad a year as he had last year.

With a litle luck, we could win the NFC East, but a wild card should be no problem at the least.
