and the easiest schedule in the league.
based on W/L? Their division is brutal
and the easiest schedule in the league.
I think their schedule is considered 19th toughest and Dallas' is considered 31st toughest (or 2nd easiest)
I mean, just for starters, the 49ers have the Rams, Seahawks, and Cards in their own division. That's 6 tough ones right from the start.
The Packers, Ravens, Bears, Steelers, and others.....now those are tough scedules.....on paper.

Strength of schedule is subjective depending on how you look at it. I was referencing this analysis.
With Garrett as the coach holding back the team and Moore, all bets were off in 2019.
The offense under Dak never did anything until the middle of the 3rd quarter and after our opponents started playing us soft on defense because they had such a big lead. The offense under Dak has to move the ball in the first half of games too, because that will help the defense stay off the field. All those 3 and outs for 2 1/2 quarters last year didn't help the defense at all.
I keep bringing up 2019 because we had the #1 offense that year. We still lost games where our defense held teams to low scores like 12, 13, and 17 points. I can't shake that because for as good as the offense can look against terrible defenses, it can look equally as bad against basically every decent defense we play against. We are shut down WAY to easy on offense.
Until proven otherwise I still think we got 7-10 or 8-9. I really, really hope I am wrong about that.
What do you think of the Commanders man? Are they a contender?How did I know just by the title that there would be some talk of "but if this or that go our way we're contenders"?
The defense was middle of the pack in 2019, in fact better then that (top 12), and we still went 8-8.
A middle of the pack defense means nothing when your offense does nothing against above average competition.
You cherry picking a couple games again huh. Haters hate. It's what you do.
How is San Fran good again? Because they made the SB 2 years ago? Garrap sucks.
Are we forgiving all the bizarre stuff McCarthy did last year already?
What happens when Quinn fixes the defense and he’s still pulling the goofy coaching decisions?
Are all bets off this year too?

There were a few blunders to be sure, but a few of those can be attributed to trying things out in a lost season.
I am very encouraged by his 4th down decisions, on average.
Oh that’s based on how the games are ordered, I see
I think a lot of the Cowboys hopes for this next year rely on none of the other 3 teams taking a step forward. But that’s also the case for any hopes of the other 3 as well
Was talking about this last night with my buddy. There really aren't a lot of great teams in the NFC. Rogers claims he would rather retire or be traded. If Rogers is no longer in the NFC who are contenders in the NFC? This is the list I have:
Tampa
Rams
San Fran
Seattle
THATS IT!! There is nobody else I see as a great team. And Seattle is Seattle. They don't really scare me. If the Cowboys get healthy and the defense is middle of the pack, there is no reason we cant be in the mix with these teams.

Why venture further then when the team was healthy in 2019?The false narrative of Dak trolls. Which you clearly are.
Although trying to establish the run with Zeke and his fumbles early in games has contributed to some slower starts. It shouldnt be that big of a deal if your defense doesnt let the team march up and down the field.
Funny how you go back to 2019, but wont venture further. Is that becuase it doesnt suit your agenda and the Cowboys were winning?
The truth is that the Cowboys have NEVER had a losing season with Dak playing the entire year. So your under 500 prediction seems off. Heck they won 6 games last year with half the team injured and Dalton playing.
They won the division last year, so yes.What do you think of the Commanders man? Are they a contender?
