Best team in NFC?

[Boysn066666666]

With the additions we've made this off-season is it safe to say we're the favorite to come out of the NFC?

[SkinsandTerps]

Not really.

Any given Sunday.

[Cowboy4ever]

With the additions we've made this off-season is it safe to say we're the favorite to come out of the NFC?

No.. both the redskins and Giants have made improvements as well and both were better than us last year. We have a great chance. but until we put it up on the field.. we are no where near the favorites,, not in my book anyway.

[Paniolo22]

We don't want to be the favorites and win in March.

[AtlCB]

With the additions we've made this off-season is it safe to say we're the favorite to come out of the NFC?Carolina and Seattle are probably the favorites.

[Woods]

I think the main player Seattle has lost is Hutchinson.

Though they gained Peterson. And Hamlin is ready to participate in TC, etc. according to KFFL.

Seattle should be able to shore up any weak points in the Draft.

I think they should still be a good team in the NFC.

Carolina added some decent guys as well in FA, so they should be tough as well.

[vicjagger]

We aren't even the favorites in our own division.:bang2:

[GoCowboysGo]

I don't know about you guys, but to me, the o-line is terrible. Especially Center.

With improvements needed at Center and one guard, the middle will continue to produce nada!

I love the Cowboys, but right now the teams to beat in the NFC are Carolina, Seattle and NY Giants. Even the Redskins are really improved, and they kicked our tails twice!

Almost, not yet though. Maybe in a couple of moves and an EXCELLENT draft.

[SkinsFan26]

The Cowboys have passed the Giants, but not the Seahawks, Panthers, or Redskins.

The Vikings, Falcons, Cardinals are greatly improved.

The Bucs and Bears will only improve as their young players have more experience.

If Bulger stays healthy, I think the Rams will be solid with their additions.

The Wild Card chase is going to be crazy in the NFC.

[Dave_in-NC]

With the additions we've made this off-season is it safe to say we're the favorite to come out of the NFC?

What additions? O line still very scary and not in a good way. And TO?

[Boysn066666666]

I disagree. Our team was good enough to win 12-13 games last year we just lost due to missed field-goals, etc. Our team is young and coming together, and with the additions of a TO level player, pro-bowl kicker, and some of the other signings, we are definitely ahead of all the other teams in the NFC. Not saying we will get to the Super Bowl because there's alot of randomness but we have to be the favorites.

[TheBeheader31]

We haven't passed the Redskins? hahaha you're funny.

[pjcowboy]

Giants have to be. Manning will get a little better and they had a strong team to begin with, though they underperformed in the playoffs. Redskins will be tough, but with Brunell still in they are destined to have Campbell starting at some point next year. The boys have to address the oline from here on out. We need to sweep the Eagles, split w/ the rest of the east and take care of teams at home (Hou, NO,Det, TB, Indy) and we should be the wildcard.

[Mavs Man]

The Cowboys have passed the Giants, but not the Seahawks, Panthers, or Redskins.

The Vikings, Falcons, Cardinals are greatly improved.

The Bucs and Bears will only improve as their young players have more experience.

If Bulger stays healthy, I think the Rams will be solid with their additions.

The Wild Card chase is going to be crazy in the NFC.
And don't forget the Eagles, who will be much better than they were last year.

[Boysn066666666]

No way the Giants are better than us.

[GoCowboysGo]

Wouldn't it be funny if the Indy game came down to a FG attempt by Vanderjagt?;)

[cmoney51951]

REDSKINS
COWBOYS
GIANTS
EAGLES
washington is the favorite they will win 12 games next year and dallas will lock up the wild card 11-5 giants get snubbed 10-6

[gbrittain]

To me the problem with Dallas and the rest of the NFC is this.

I could seriously see a case being made for various NFC teams making the Superbowl. The problem is I dont see a solid case being made for any NFC team winning the Superbowl other than an Any Given Sunday kind of way.

[SkinsandTerps]

I will tell you guys like I did mid-season. The Panthers are blatently over-rated. Although Steve Smith is a hell of a player.

I cant imagine why everyone swings so hard from their...

I cant imagine why everyone swings so hard from their...

But to be fair, look at the injuries they had, like at the RB position last season.

They are a very well coached team, IMO. A team that can play through injuries and win.

[conner01]

i don't buy all the favorites stuff. you never know from season to season who will come out of top. not many teams have any depth so injuries have a huge impact. right now i would say every team in our division is better and it will be a long hard battle all season

[alancdc]

If the Panthers sign Key to go opposite Steve Smith where they can't triple cover him I would think they are going to be a tough out. That is if Deshaun Foster can stay healthy at RB for an entire year.

[riggo]

No way the Giants are better than us.

for some reason, i tend to agree. i know what they did last year- maybe its elis play at the end of the year, but i cant bring myself to say that the giants are actually a really good football team. it just doesnt seem right.

[Hostile]

With the additions we've made this off-season is it safe to say we're the favorite to come out of the NFC?The entire NFCE will be good. I don't ever count the Eagles completely gone.

Seattle has added some firepower and until further notice, they are the Conference bully.

Carolina is still very good. Atlanta can improve, Tampa as well.

I think the Bears might have been a 1 year wonder, but if not that is a good D.

Way too early to figure out anything.

I think you are 100% Hos.
Until proven otherwise Seattle is tops.
The NFCE is up for grabs. Same as last season. I dont see any clear cut moves by any teams making any one that much better than the rest.

You don't want to get into the pro-bowl. It wasn't a cheap shot, except to people who want it to be.

I just pointed the horse-collar thing out because Taylor still does it, just like Roy still does it, all within the rules. But Skins fans are sooooo anxious to call Roy a dirty player, while assigning god status to Taylor. Makes me laugh.

Hah, I got in for the Cowboys at 20/1 a month ago. I had a good feeling then, if it hits, that's 2 grand, baby! Pick that 10/1 up now, fellas.

I love gambling....LOL.

Well we are definitely one of them now!

So, according to this... the Cowboys have twice as good a chance of getting to the super bowl as the redskins do. Done by the people in Vegas who set odds for a living. Yet every skin fan in this thread says Dallas isn't as good as washington.

Didn't one skin fan say that it was Seattle, Carolina and washington... and then everyone else below those three? Talk about wishful thinking. :laugh2:

Umm...Superpunk was just digging at you because of all the Redskins fandom accusing RW of being cheap hit artist.

I promise you if Sean Taylor played for the Cowboys and RW for the Skins you would be ranting and raving about that cheap shot artist known as Sean Taylor.

[riggo]

How many "horse collar" tackles in there?

What a dirty player.....

i counted one.

[burmafrd]

Sooner or later Brunnel will go down- with his injury history and his age (36) its just a matter of WHEN. And WHEN that happens the skins season ends.
Actually very simple- even a foreskin fan should be able to figure that out.

[Joe a Cowboys fan]

Seattle and NY Giants are my bet for the NFC. We aren't close to contenders yet in the NFC East unless we do a superlative job in the draft. We have some lunch buckets from FA but need at least 2 playmaker/starters from the draft to be mildly competitive. The DA is ok, the offence stinks. Still.

[superpunk]

i counted one.

I didn't watch it. Just going on what I've seen in actual games.

maybe so- but thats true of most teams. at least they brought in collins- no superstar, but he knows saunders system. smart pickup.

[AmishCowboy]

I think there are a bunch of teams on equal footing now, most likely it will come down to injuries and a few lucky breaks.:lombardi:

[NorTex]

I think that it would be fair to say that Dallas is the team to look for out of the NFC.

By just adding the most accurate kicker in the NFL, the Cowboys are a legit contender.

When you also add the best WR in the NFL, well, now you are talking about a tough team to beat.

[CactusCowboy]

I would say CAROLINA is the team to beat.

[burmafrd]

Its really very simple: the team that stays the healthiest will be there at the end.

[cmoney51951]

those odds were from before free agency wernt they??

[cmoney51951]

if u guys couldent even stop lloyd on the 49ers as there #1 reciever who i might add was there only real threat how r u gonna stop him as a #2 reciever across from SANTANA and randel el?????

[CanadianCowboysFan]

Seattle benefits from having six easy wins before it starts the season given the very weak NFC West.

I still think we win the NFC next year because we were so damn close last year and with a few kicks err plays going our way, the road to Detroit would have gone through us.

[Boysn066666666]

WOW, great move knowing our odds would increase significantly. I would give us like 7-1 and you're in for 20-1

[kycowboyfan]

those odds were from before free agency wernt they?? Not according to the website.. They were updated on March 17

[JTnNC]

maybe Sports Illustrated will put Carolina on the cover again. That basically wipes their chances out.

[DawnOfANewD]

Kris Jenkins will be healthy this year which will make their D-line the most feared in the league again. You have to favor CAR in the NFC for their excellent D and if they land Keyshawn.

[dstew60105]

The Cowboys have passed the Giants, but not the Seahawks, Panthers, or Redskins.

The Vikings, Falcons, Cardinals are greatly improved.

The Bucs and Bears will only improve as their young players have more experience.

If Bulger stays healthy, I think the Rams will be solid with their additions.

The Wild Card chase is going to be crazy in the NFC.

The Cowboys are better then the Redskins. The Seahawks and Panthers are a different story.

[Manster54]

Seattle
Carolina/Which Atlanta will show up?
Dallas
Giants
Redskins

[Paniolo22]

The Cowboys are better then the Redskins. The Seahawks and Panthers are a different story.

Tell me why we are much worse than the Hawks OR the Panthers? We lost to the Hawks AT Seattle because of our Kicker, and we beat Carolina AT Carolina. We have as good a shot as anyone IMO.

[stiletto]

With the additions we've made this off-season is it safe to say we're the favorite to come out of the NFC?

NOT EVEN CLOSE YET! Give me some quality offensive linemen and a true pass rush and free safety, then we'll talk. Also alot depends on how Bledsoe meshes with T.O.. That is a total unknown at this point, even though I'm optimistic it will work out, you just never know.... too many uncertainties with our team. I do like that we got a decent FG kicker now but to put us at the top of the NFC is way too premature at this point.

[Pabst]

Seattle doesn't impress me. They had no business being in the Super Bowl, imo.

During the Super Bowl, I'm sure fans of the Redskins, Bucs, and Panthers were thinking "I cannot understand how this team managed to get here, and mine didn't." I know I was thinking it.

[Gibbs II]

Seattle benefits from having six easy wins before it starts the season given the very weak NFC West.

I still think we win the NFC next year because we were so damn close last year and with a few kicks err plays going our way, the road to Detroit would have gone through us.

Look, everyone has those games. We lost our 5 games (6th was a blowout, doesnt get counted)by a total of 19 points. What about the games that you maybe "shouldnt" have won. All Im saying is that it works both ways, great teams will win them more often than not. Btw, I am not commenting anything about your moves this year or not, im only talking about last year.

Its going to be very close, but I dont think these teams in the NFC are legit elite teams yet. I think the NFC's good teams are just as good as the Jags in the way that they will win the games they should, but its going to be hard for them to beat the Indys and Pats and even Pitts. So, like someone said, whoever is healthiest is going to do the best, unless there is a Tom Brady/ Ben situation in Campbell where Brunell goes down and JC is this amazing player.
