Is the door open for the Cowboys to take the NFCE?

[CowboysFanLover]

I do not see it unless Giants, Eagles and Commanders have major injuries and the Cowboys stay healthy

I vaguely remember a NY Giants team sitting at 7-7 after 14 games and people calling for their coaches job. They won the next 2, limped into the playoffs and went on to win the SB.

When you have the number 1 offense, anything can happen.

they had one of the best D lines and Defense in the league that year. Tell me what we have?
DUMB COMPARISON

NFCE, sheesh, it's the Super Bowl the next ten years in a row.

These type of post literally have me rolling. We beat a 0-5 team and we are contenders. Look no further than this fan base as to why Jerry will never change.

the door was never closed to us winning the division. So, yes it is open. it's wide open.

That is not even a good comparison because the Giants had a great defensive line which the Cowboys do not have

Cowboys fans are easy to impress.

they were 7-7 with that great d. What do we have? the number 1 offense... hardly a dumb comparison.

nope, they just have the number 1 offense... a very good comparison.
Dont the Packers have a top d line? one that we shredded to the tune of 40 points?

No, Philly is a powerhouse. Tough team to beat in your own division. Giants and Commanders....

Since when is a 3rd worst offense in the league and a 13th worst defense considered a “powerhouse”?

 

[MoistMayonnaise]

Schrödinger's door.

No team has repeated winning the NFCE last 20 years.

Which honestly, if you believe at all in mathematical stuff, odds, percentages, law of averages, etc. means that that long a stretch to not have a repeat winner in a grouping of only four teams is a statistical anomally. It's overdue to be broken frankly. Probably the Eagles do it this year, but if not, it will soon be broken by some team.

You would think so but even we couldn't do it when we went 12-5 three years in a row.

4-1 this year
defending SB champs

 

[CowboysLakerBamaFan]

The Giants 1-4
The Jets 0-5

If we can play a team from NYC every week...yes, we might catch them

 

[Amarth]

4-1 this year
defending SB champs

The past doesn’t matter and to be honest, the only win on their schedule that impresses me is the Rams. Tampa looks like a paper tiger to me, barely beating trash teams and so far the Chiefs definitely aren’t what they used to be and have a losing record.

 

[starfan1]

If the defense can improve then yes this is the best offense in the nfce.

I’m not holding my breath though. We gave Philly everything they could handle at their place and should have won but that’s football.

You are what your record is so we’ll see. Clean up penalties , make this defense just average then there’s a chance

If I was a betting man I’d probably go Washington as long as Daniels stays upright

 

[kskboys]

Read this .....good read about the struggles of their offense despite having elite talent across at every position. As stated in the article, they are 4-1 but have no idea who they are offensively.

What the Next Month or Two Will Reveal About the Eagles’ Offensive Identity.​

Ooops, typo on my part. I meant the Eagles' O was grossly overrated last season.

 

[plasticman]

The Dallas Cowboys aren't eliminated from winning this division but a lot of good things need to continue happening.

The offense needs to continue to produce and expand by bringing all their assets on line. We need to see something impressive from a 2nd RB. The O-line needs to heal and become more cohesive.

However, we all know the greatest issue is the defense. The first thing they need to do is get healthy. This defense will behave differently with a healthy Diggs and Bland along with Carson, Revel, and Butler. There is also Overshown who was having a Pro Bowl type season before his injury last year.

Besides getting healthy, they just need to continue to learn the system. The younger guys will get better as they gain experience, even after a few games.

If the Cowboys can build on this last victory then it is a possibility. That is ti say, it's not an impossibility..

 

[kskboys]

I think we know the Giants will come in last. Other than that, It's too early to know.

No, not at all. They looked much better w/ Dart. And outplayed us.

 

[Kevinicus]

I'm still trying to figure out how the Eagles are 4-1 with the 30th ranked offense and 20th ranked defense.
