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

It is obviously a process. But people don't like that phrase because it's a master of the obvious statement that linguistically, perhaps unintentionally, rubs people the wrong way.

There's something in the air though. I'm a firm believer that the smartest people aren't themselves the smartest. But they're smart enough to delegate responsibilities to the smartest people.

In that regard, I think Schotty has done well. We'll see how much credit he gives them when things go right and if he's willing to jump on the grenade when things go wrong.

The Shotty confidence baffles me.

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

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.

Not this year

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.

They do seem to be on an upward trajectory. Surely some of the moves they have made will work out and a lot of them could work out. I believe it sets up well for them for the next couple of years.

I mean, here you are....

But not for the hype, right?

No definately not for the hype, more a victim of circumstance. Been a fan over 50 years, just don't think the current ownership knows how to get the the Main Event let alone win it.

With 50 years of experience you should be able to see that the new editions to the team have a lot of potential.

All that is meaningless, Dak wasnt beating the nyg that romo used to play , they have been bad since coughlin left.
Wash has been bad till quinn took over last year, and Phil is up and down, look at the games where hurts and dak played each other, not too many of those.

However I think cowboys will do better than predicted , and I am going to bet on the make playoffs, and 7 win thing.

“The Eagles make plenty of sense as favorites to win the division again, even though the NFC East hasn’t had a repeat winner in nearly two full decades…”

I been sayin’!!! lol…

Convo I had on Twitter (I think it was there):

Someone pumping up Dak: “His record against Washington is 11-2 over his career.”

Me: “EVERYONE’S record against Washington was 11-2 over Dak’s career lol…”
