How is this Cowboys roster Super Bowl caliber?

All they have is Zeke and Amari as offensive weapons and a top 10 defense. Cowboys have 1 of the worst O-lines, only 1 receiving threat, and a great non battle tested defense.

You're right Zeke and Amari are the only offensive weapons we have. I don't know how Zeke managed to lead the league in rushing behind one of the worst lines in the NFL. Just a testament to how great he really is I guess. He should be in line for league MVP because without him, this team doesn't win 5 games.

Name NE's SB WRs outside Moss and Edleman, without the aid of Google. They have 5 SB rings so the damn list must be long.

WR don't win you SB trophies.

Did you see the NO game?

Of course this is a battle tested roster.

6-1 in their last 7 games?

Please...

All you are doing is taking one of the most unlikely situations and saying that it can happen to us. Doesnt change the odds, however.

And those stats you are putting up there about the D were regular season stats. The D started playing lights out late in the season and throughout the playoffs.

Sure, it doesn't change the odds, but my point was that the Giants demonstrated that once you get into the playoffs, anything can happen. Parity is a real thing in the NFL; "Any given Sunday" isn't just some cute mantra. The 2011 Giants showed that the bar for being able to win a Super Bowl is actually really low. And the 2018 Cowboys are, technically, well above that bar.

Amari Cooper is the only weapon on offense. Get him the ball as often as possible and let him work is magic.

Once you get to the playoffs anything can happen. See Giants times two.

That was about their D getting healthy more than anything can happen and anything can happen is the extreme exception, not close to the rule. If so, a hell of a lot more WC's would have made it than the home field teams.

I don't see how that changes anything. What happened to the Giants still happens as rarely as ever, despite the fact that they did it.

Just because something happens once doesn't mean that every fan should discount the obvious and the odds just because once upon a time, some team that was low ranked actually did it.

Despite what the Giants did, they needed lots of luck and plenty of things to go in their favor.

Miracles are called miracles for a reason. Because they almost never happen.

I do not think this is a SB team, the stars would have to align for this team to make it.

However, they are building toward one and are closer than they are far away.

When you don't have a QB you're not close.
