Dallas Cowboys
Last year, they were one wanton tackling official away from a possible NFC Championship Game trip to Lambeau where, in those conditions, anything could have happened.

That would've been a divisional round playoff, not the NFC championship game. So he's basing his prediction, in part, on wrong information.

He was a big fan of the The Clapper.

Last season, the D-line was devastated with constant injuries. There were times when the entire D-line was manned by rookies.

If the D-line had been intact for at least 14 games we would have seen much better cohesion in run defense as well as an even higher number of sacks and INT's.

Just look back at the real number of games where the starters were Gregory, Urban, Gallimore, and Lawrence backed up by Osa, Hill, Watson, Bohanna, and Golston. How many can you find? Zero!

My point is that there have been many recent seasons in which the Cowboys could have competed for a Super Bowl but, for some reason, the Cowboys are constantly hit by injuries. Once again, the key to success this season is health.

The 12 (or Maybe 13) Teams That Could Actually Win Super Bowl LVII
Our annual exercise aimed at separating the NFL’s real contenders from everyone else.


Dallas Cowboys
A favorite of editor and podcast co-host Gary Gramling, the Cowboys have one of the five best quarterbacks in football; one of the game’s most sought-after play-callers; a defensive coordinator (Dan Quinn) who, a year into his head coaching rehab assignment, was one of the hottest names on the market; a game-changing, positionless pass rusher and a running game that should be solid enough to complement the times Dak Prescott isn’t hurling the ball to CeeDee Lamb. While this team has let us down before, Prescott is now more than a year removed from a devastating ankle injury and Dallas has a cleaner route than most to the postseason through an NFC East that shouldn’t offer much pushback outside of the Eagles. Last year, they were one wanton tackling official away from a possible NFC Championship Game trip to Lambeau where, in those conditions, anything could have happened.

Nope
Not drinking the kool-aid

Have to win some games in January to make the big dance.

The Cowboys haven't shown they can do that yet.
