BTB: Why the Dallas Cowboys are Firmly in the Mix for NFCE Crown

[charron]

Dallas is firmly 1 of 4 teams in the mix for the NFCE crown. And honestly they are 1 of 3 to really compete for it.

And for the last 30 years Dallas has treated winning the division title as their crowning achievement. Which is why that's all they have done in the last 30 years. Not 1 time have they won the division then said that wasn't good enough we have to build a better team the following year. Nope they wear the so called crown as king of the playoff losers proudly.

...Im doubling down on it. Dont know if THIS is the year. But its going to be a good one.

Same. It's going to at least be fun to watch.

I think they have legit, young talent though. I mean, aside from Unc.

I would be satisfied if Unc would just change that stupid "Here we gooooo".

 

[Rockport]

i dont know how much better than average he is, might be 12-15 which techincally is better than average....and yes he could help them to the promised land but needs everything to be just about perfect for him to do so

You’re entitled to your opinion.

As are you

I find it interesting that the author questions the sustainability of Daniels’ performance, while Prescotts physical ability is considered a given.

Even if so, he made it further in year one than Dak did in nine.

The success within the division is also interesting. Is THAT sustainable?

Stop talking and get out there and do it.

I liked it at the time, but maybe it's time for a change.

Is this from the Onion?

Jerry has the hype train a rollin

Take notes, Spagnola, and fellow "homer's." If you're going to write from a homer's perspective, this is how you do it.

Dont you ever again question Spackugos brownnoser skills!

Shame on you. But a good comment

Why wouldn’t they be?

Bengals and skins 2nd game should’ve been wins that puts a injured team playing 2nd and 3rd string players at 9-8

It’s playoff time that’s an issue with this team

At present moment, nobody seems to believe in the Cowboys, but they should. According to DraftKings sportsbook, the Cowboys are +190 to reach the playoffs, with only three other NFC teams below them. They’re also the odds-on favorite to finish third in the NFC East, well behind both the Eagles and Commanders when it comes to their odds to win the division.

Dak Prescott’s return is huge​

People have forgotten just how good the Cowboys are when Dak Prescott is under center. Specifically looking at divisional games, Prescott is 9-4 against the Eagles, 11-2 against the Commanders, and 13-2 against the Giants. Prescott’s only loss to Washington during the Mike McCarthy era was an odd regular-season finale that felt like the team went through the motions, while the quarterback hasn’t lost to the Giants since his rookie year.

This team has no problems in the playoffs. They have problems to reach them.

Bigger problem is that this "QB" has problems against good defenses.

I mean, here you are....

But not for the hype, right?

 

[RonWashington]

Well that article is enough for me.

Buying my plane tickets today to get to Levi Stadium for the SB!

Sometimes it just takes a compelling article like this to really tip the scales.

"They’re also the odds-on favorite to finish third in the NFC East" ......this is what did it for me from the article

Can you pick me up a ticket while your at it ?

This team reaches the playoffs quite easily recently when they've been healthy

They just suck badly in them

 

[CowboyStar88]

The hopium from BTB never ceases to amaze me.

I agree. I think the window of opportunity is actually opening right now, though, specifically because Dak is at that point in his career.

A substantial injury this year will raise serious question marks. There is a high likelihood of that happening, too.

But if it's not going to happen, and Dak can manage to avoid injury and stay healthy, the window is now, especially if you believe in the moves you've made.

We'll soon see what it all actually may look like. But they've set themselves up nicely. The only downside is a tougher schedule. And like the article points out, the Eagles are likely to slide some.

There's only one way for them to go. And it appears the Cowboys have set themselves up on an upward trajectory. It takes some patience to actually like what they've done, because people want things right now. It's just right now isn't realistic. We'll have to see.

I think they are setting up nicely for the next couple/few years. You may want to bring in a vet 3rd QB to push Milton as well as mentor him. But you also need to start your QB search right now just in case.

How long before Parsons starts the inevitable decline? Don't let time run out.

The window may be opening but here is a reminder of the Dallas Cowboys record in 2024 before Dak Prescott was injured. Before Dak Prescott went down with a hamstring injury in Week 9 of the 2024 season, the Dallas Cowboys had a 3–5 record. Prescott had thrown for 1,978 yards, 11 touchdowns, and 8 interceptions in those eight games. Unfortunately, the injury required season-ending surgery, and the Cowboys finished the year at 7–10, missing the playoffs

This is the year of "the best shape of my life". Again.

Not like he was playing great ball before his injury last year.

 

[Pass2Run]

I put my money where my mouth is.....I'm as all in as Jerry was in 2024!

Are you all in yet?
