I would flip Dallas with Washington. But you could be right. Jones boys like to go backwards after 1 year forward.

The fact you say they are pretty even when we had the clear advantage in 2021 pretty much tells you all you need to know about our offseason.
We were the team that won 12 games. We were the team that a few holes that we should have addressed with some proven talent to get us over the hump.
Instead, we went into cap saving mode, bragged about how awesome we draft and just assumed our JAG FAs and draft picks will be the elixir this team needed to be better than 2021. LOL. We never learn.
Cowboys don't like to spend money except on their own draft picks. And they overspend on our own picks. Zeke, Jaylon Smith and Tank just to name a few.
There were plenty of opportunity for us to get a lot better through FA. We did absolutely nothing.
WE can say what we want about the Eagles. They are doing everything they can to get better. While we sit idly by hoping our draft picks and UDFA will help picking up the missing peices.
The Eagles have significantly improved. We didn't. And if Hurts doesn't help them out this year, they can think about getting a QB next year.
One, they have a very easy schedule. Two, even with Hurts kinda stinking, they won 9 games when people thought they would suck last year coming off a dreadful 2020 season. Three, they have arguably the best OL in football which can cure a lot of offensive issues. Four, they had clear needs at WR, CB and rushing the passer and went out and addressed all three with significant improvements. Five, they believe in the lines carry you and as noted they have the best OL in football and they restocked their DL adding a first round pick at DT and then going out and adding a pure pass rusher in Hassan Reddick.
Yes, AJ Brown is a significant improvement for them at WR. They no longer have to rely on disappointing Reagor to be the other WR next to Smith. It's a massive jump from Reagor to Brown. I have no idea if Hurts will be good but going from Reagor to Brown is a huge help for Hurts.
People are being silly if they don't think Philly really improved this offseason. I have no idea if this can carry them to a division title over us but anyone thinking they aren't a very real and viable threat is being a Cowboys homer.
This is the type of genius logic that keeps me coming back day after day.
lol exactly!! i swear it's bizarro world. how anyone can defend our offseason is completely beyond me
I'm fairly certain the Eagles number two WR would have been Quez Watkins. But at this point that's just nitpicking. I agree. If the Eagles had a better QB I'd be very worried.
There are just two players in the NFL since 2016 with 15+ interceptions and 80+ pass breakups:
Darius Slay and James Bradberry.
It was a very good offseason and I can defend it up and down and have been. The fact that you either dont understand how it was good or why doesn't change the fact that the Cowboys made some great moves.
Simple truth is guys like you made up your minds the minute Cooper was traded and the Cowboys didnt sign some big name FA 3 days into Free Agency.
If you want to have a real conversation about why the offseason was a big step in the right direction I can go over it all with you. Or you can just keep crying and feign ignorance.
there's no way that's true
Slay has 19 / 84, but he got 8 picks in 2017.
Bradberry is 15 / 82
lol weren't you the same guy crying about their draft reaches and defending them 6 hours later? go away bootlicker, you're exactly who i'm talking about.
I can't find a quality source for pbu's, but no one else has 80+ in that timeframe? JC Jackson, Xavien etc, nobody?
A guy named "proof" that cant even debate a topic. Maybe you should change your name to "poof" as in how quickly you resort to disappearing from an argument when approached to have a real conversation about it.
Waaaaa they let Cooper go waaaaa!!!!

i just gave you proof of your lack of conviction and desire to defend the FO at all costs, and have argued with you over this topic at length already. no desire to do it again. we all know your script at this point.
Waaaaa, mommy the Cowboys are going to suck again!! Waaaa!!!
POOF!!!!!!
Yep its a mind numbing stratagy we seem to have this off season.It's downright stupid that Cap boy Stephen Jones doesn't want to spend on talent. Yet we have lot's of cap space to spend if we need to.
Eagles are going to win the division this year. They are clearly made an effort to get better while we sit on our butts hoping and praying.
