Are the Cowboys the Steelers of the NFC?

[visionary]

a lot of people are concerned about defense of the Dallas Cowboys...I'm sure, to different extents...this may ease some of those concerns and it may enforce others...

On paper, it appears to me at least, that the Cowboys are.a very similar team to the Steelers..not identical by any means..but very similar...

3 headed monster on offense

Romo - Big Ben
Zeke - Bell
Dez - Brown

Cowboys definitely have the better OL

Both teams are relatively weak in the secondary...Cowboys might even be better than the steelers here...

The comparisons end on the DL....Steelers defense last year generated a ton of sacks...close to 50...but even w their pressure..their pass D was terrible...near the bottom of the league...

The last two years the steelers have won a total of 21 regular season games...10 in one year and 11 in the other...a team that is constructed pretty similarly to ours...probably a glimmer of hope for some on here..at the same time, the steelers only have one playoff win in the last two years...probably confirmation for other that this style isn't good enough to win when it matters...

I know there are a few people on here that follow some other teams very closely for different reasons..anyone on here that follows the steelers very closely? Just my opinion but this Cowboys team is a team just like the Steelers of right now...probably a 10-11 win team..hopefully with more playoff success than what the Steelers have had the last two years

2 SB wins in the last 10 years
A real GM
A real HC
A owner who does not meddle
An organizational philosophy

You could knock me over with a feather OP
The similarities are eerie

I'm talking strictly players and I'm taking right now

Other than that, you did an amazing job of following along

.639 winning percentage and two Super Bowls, including a win. .511 winning percentage and one playoff victory.

One of these things is not like the other.

That wasn't his team though. What has he done with building his own team. ......same thing with Jimmy when he left

A real head coach? One mean Tomlin....the HC that won with someone elses team

Did not take long for what Parcells left behind for Jerry Jones, Phillips and the rest of the braintrust to tear down and set afire.

Tomlin's smartest move was to not try to rock the boat. And it has worked for him. Mainly because the ownership allowed him to do that.

I think probably Tomlin does a better job hiring asst coaches, DC, OC ,etc
The asst coaches make a big difference , and can help or hurt a HC.

I think this is one thing that hurts dallas, like when a top DC or OC becomes available, dallas
has no interest in them.
And I could be wrong, but I dont feel like linehan has a free hand to do whatever he wants with
the offense or playbook.

Dallas has a good group of players, so it is really up to the coaches from JG on down
to succeed in 2016 or to struggle or be mediocre, or be very good.

I think 11-5 or better to win div this time, and Dallas is the most talented team overall, in the east,
so they should win the div.

Assistant coaches seems like a pretty poorly aimed critique.

 

[dallasdave]

I almost hate them as much as you but I hate the Eagles just a little more. It's close though. And living Iowa doesn't help either because almost every Iowa Hawkeye fan loves the Steelers because of them having the same style uniforms. I can't stand it

Uncanny those uniforms !!!

 

[Mactin]

I don't think Tomlin is a particularly great coach

iMHO he and JG are both middle of the road.

Pretty hard to say when Tomlin won a super bowl and made two trips to super bowls. Any head coach that manages to win a super bowl is a good head coach imo.

Steelers haven't won a Super Bowl in nearly a decade. It's irrelevant at this point. They are not nearly the team they were when they won under Cowherd and Tomlin riding off his success. They have Brown, Ben, and Bell; two of which are about as unreliable as Romo and Dez when it comes to injury. Their O-Line is nothing to write home about, defense is not dominant.

What are we talking up here? They make the playoffs in a weak conference?

If the Steelers going to 3 Superbowls in the last 10 years and winning two of them is irrelevant, then you must really hate The Cowboys production in the same span.
