Significant is not quite the word I would use in regards to all 3. Haha is a significant upgrade only because he is not terrible, but this is not the safety FA class of last year. Poe was not exactly great last year but its still a minor upgrade. Losing Jones though is a massive downgrade. The secondary was the weakness of the defense and it is worse and teams do not really win in the playoffs without at least a passable secondary and the Cowboys do not have it and its so far from it that I do not think it could be drafted in one draft.
Poe actually was pretty good last year. When he got hurt that defense was giving up an additional 50 ypg on the ground. And he commands double teams on a constant basis something our dts didnt do at all. Not to mention we played in a basic *** scheme which we made no adjustments. We have a lot of new stuff coming out next year.

No one knows if McCoy and Poe are big upgrades...way too early to call two additions from the worst run D in the league ‘significant’ upgrades. They are bigger, certainly...in size and in name. But they are not slam dunks as big upgrades
Look who they replaced? And as I said when Poe got injured they gave up an additional 50 yards on the ground a game

Ah, now I see the disconnect I was having with your thread title. When you said "beagles", I thought you meant Bengals but you actually meant eagles. To that, I say Greeny is just one man and an idiot at that. I never concern myself with the words of Greeny.
I actually was floored but calmer heads prevail this will be the year everyone dismisses the Cowboys in the media and we come out of nowhere and make the NFCCG :)) I like being the underdog..

I mean they won the division last year with a team that wasn't as talented as ours was due to injuries. They didn't really lose anyone of note from their roster while we lost Quinn and Jones, two big contributors on defense. We have improved at the coaching spot but it's certainly not ridiculous to think the Eagles might be better.

I don’t like the Eagirls either but I can’t argue against it. Cowboys have lost the right to make these claims. Not a fan of them but one thing Pederson can do is get a injury riddled team some Ws at the end of the season.
I disagree. I think the schedule was very kind to philly. Last 4 games were Giants, Commanders, Dallas, Giants..... are people forgetting they lost to Miami the week before. Had they played 1 game outside the division the last month they would have lost

before FA is over, before the draft and this shot is called, seriously, the Eagles..lmao

Dallas was relatively healthy and couldn't get into playoffs. Eagles were decimated by injuries and won division. Judging by how Wentz played late in year I don't see reason why Dallas would be favorite to win division. Dallas upgraded at DT but that's it. Eagles also upgraded at DT & CB while getting their receiving core back. The only way this trajectory changes is if somehow Dak starts trending up more than Wentz but I don't see that happening.

Greenburg is a clueless bozo. That, and a Jet’s homer. No wonder MIKE & Mike disbanded. Their hot takes were warm pieces of crap.

We are no longer coached by the expendables. Ergo, our chances increase greatly. Don't know about the playing field, but the coaching field in much improved.

Coaching change, will make a difference.

While what you say is correct.....I don’t think they were very good. To me they are closer to those teams than they are the Chiefs so the fact they beat all 4.....gotta give Pederson credit.
