Is this just wishful thinking on your part or do you have anything to back this up? What exactly happened in the offseason with the Cowboys and with the other NFC teams to think the Cowboys won't make the playoffs?

So if you're keeping score, the cheerleader when thinks they have a shot every year has been right the last quarter of a century and the guy who said they didn't has been wrong.

White is black. Black is white.

Hilarious to watch you hide behind "they didnt win it all". This all but assures you have lost with EVERYTHING else and all you can say now is.....................they didnt win it. LOL

I remember the Romo cry babies admitting defeat in a similar fashion.

The Cowboys have NOT been legitimate contenders the last few years and arent this year. I have NEVER said they were legitimate contenders so your not saying anything I didnt or most havent.

Dak and the Cowboys continue to make a mockery of you regardless of not winning a SB.

The 2016 offensive line and a rookie Zeke were what Superbowl wins are made of unfortunately we could only score 13 points thru 3 Quarters at home vs the Packers......:(

I didn't say those teams wouldn't be good. I don't know how those situations will turn out.
I still think both those teams should be favored over Dallas and di not say otherwise., but they do have some red flags
But it's not perfect

What's with your condescending reply anyway?
You sound like you're angry, for some reason.

I think that’s just him.

Though I'm not sure Dallas can/will capitalize on the gift-wrapped opportunity, it does appear that the NFC has issues across the board this year.

Maybe we can at the very least advance a game or two in the playoffs?

I know, I know....don't pile on.....but they all have some issues.

Here are some issues with the top contenders

Bucs.
Brady is taking time away and is really struggling emotionally right now.
Big injuires on the line and elsewhere.

Rams
Stafford has an elbow issue. He's toughed it out his whole career through various pain issues, but this could get him later in the season.
They had some key losses in FA, including Von Miller. Some nice adds too though

49ers
Trey Lance is the starter, so that's a big unknown.

Green Bay
lost maybe the best WR in the league
then lost their #2 and #3 WRS as well.

Cards
They lost a ton of talent: Chandler Jones, Christian Kirk, Chase Edmond, Jordan Hicks, and more

Philly
They were the last team in and still have Hurts as QB, but may be better this year.

And than there is Dallas who is returning a solid roster minus Amari. But still has the biggest choker at QB. So that rounds out the NFC teams.

No doubt, but wouldn't the 2016 offensive line and rookie Zeke that are what SB's are made of be part of the offense that could only score 13 points through 3 QTR's in the game? I mean they did play the game...right?

1. History - rarely do they have 2 good seasons in a row
2. Missing talent - especially at WR. Remember Dak before Cooper arrived. He will be pressing more
3. OL - Can't count on Tyron Smith and the Center is lacking
4. Lack of a good kicker will cost at least 2 games
5. Law of averages - last year they got a ton of turnovers, plus minus was good. These tend to not to duplicate
6. Pass rush? Remains to be seen

If they can not get a pass rush going that will be bad...that would be the only one to me that is not a question. With Parsons they should be able to get pressure on the QB...now can they stop the run?

Your Brady blow off write up is about as laughable as it gets. Staffords Elbow issues I doubt have any kind of affect.

Stafford should’ve never made it to the Super Bowl. San Fran dropped a perfect pass for an interception Although I am a fan of his. This will hurt him.

Stafford was very good during the playoffs though. Game-winning drives in 3 straight games is crazy.
Clutch drive after clutch drive after clutch drive.......
And really, he set a record for the best NFL season in the 4th quarter with no turnovers all year.

That dropped pick was with 9 minutes to go and wouldnt have been like a borderline punt anyway. But it would have been the ONLY 4th quarter pick all year.

But they don't throw the ball against one of the worst passing defenses in the history of the play offs

If Dallas gets in as a 7th seed I'll consider your prediction right.

Passing Yards
GB
A. Rodgers28-43, 355 YDS, 2 TD, 1 INT
DAL
D. Prescott24-38, 302 YDS, 3 TD, 1 INT

They didnt throw the ball? they had to throw it 38 times with an OL and rookie zeke that are what SB's are made of...what would throwing the ball be 50 times?
