Video: Are The Dallas Cowboys Still Superbowl Contenders Without Ezekiel Elliott?

[eyedoc]

I hope Dickerson didn't agree to the nickname ED.

Hey Catch I thought of viagara when I heard his initials ED. Go Cowboys

 

[Diehardblues]

Not sure they were with him until we see this defense.

[Vintage]

He's only missing 37.5% of the season. It's not even half of it.

 

[DandyDon52]

The real question should be are they contenders with the present Defense? The offense is more than ready.

Exactly .
I dont consider them SB contenders right now, maybe later on, but last year I thought they were at end of season, and then the GB fiasco happened!
so until our hc and other coaches show THEY can compete in playoffs, I wont buy into any SB runs.
Then there is the defense, we dont know how it will do this year, maybe good maybe bad , just have to wait and see.

our coaches dont seem to do a good job with game planning, they need to do better in that area.

it is a soft nickname

 

[DenCWBY]

No, they aren't.

Tap the brakes folks. That Colt D could quite be the worst defense in the league this year.

 

[JJHLH1]

I just heard on NFL Network that the owners are in the final stage of extending Goodell's contract for 5 years, thru the 2024 season when he will be 65. So much for getting rid of Goodell. Very disappointing.

 

[Diehardblues]

Right.

We're going to see some good defenses right away in our schedule so we should know pretty soon.

I think we should prepare ourselves , meaning fans, for a dismal start. It could be more of a struggle than we're anticipating with or without Elliott.

 

[Ashwynn]

Absolutely. Zeke who? You see 45 out there, man I am sure D coordinators are worried sick about him. Mara's probably on the phone to Goodell about how can we get 45 suspended, as we speak!

Yea the thread title should have said playoff contenders,

 

[DoctorChicken]

We'll be mother hugging 19-0 NO MATTER WHAT

 

[ShiningStar]

even with Zeke we are not SB contenders. Maybe next year depending on this year. but this year will be yet another wasted year.

 

[Pants]

it is a soft nickname

limp response

 

[Toomany10pins]

I know this is going to be a unpopular opinion here and I'm honestly not trying to troll, but I didn't think Dallas was a contender with Zeke, as he doesn't play defense.

You have a much tougher schedule than last year, an inexperienced defense, and there is a year of tape on your 2 biggest young offensive weapons. Your biggest rival (Giants) has your offense figured out.

Defense wins championships!

Just an outsiders POV.

 

[jobberone]

Yes

 

[cowboyblue22]

Right.

with out Elliot with the defenses we face and the fact that our defense is so young and the young corners have missed so much time in the playoffs its going to be a real struggle the colts defense is awful you will get a better Idea of how the cowboys look after they play the raiders

 

[stilltheguru88]

I'm in the minority I guess. The defense will be fine imo..........barring injury of course

 

[Jake]

Win a playoff game then talk to me about being Super Bowl contenders. Haven't reached a conference title game in two decades and the "Super Bowl" talk happens every other year.

You Giants fans sure are worried about the Cowboys.
