[CowboysFaninHouston]

4-13

you seem very optimistic

Hope McCarthy sees this LOL.

Hey the Bears are in worse shape at #2!

 

[Hadenough]

TANK!


(am I doing that right?)

They won't need to. Dak is not winning a lot of those games.

 

[Mr_437]

Vegas have any Dak bets yet? This doesn't look good.

 

[Creeper]

10 playoff teams! Tough schedule.

 

[Hawkeye19]

Having to play Philly and Wash twice also inflates the SOS.

 

[PAPPYDOG]

They won't need to. Dak is not winning a lot of those games.

By week 9 he will be out for the season with another injury...........Bank on it!

This is assuming the NFC East will be good again which drags the sos up

I think Philly will still be the cream of the NFCE, but not sure they’re going to be as dominant next year as this. And Washington I suspect will have a letdown. Not a crash, but just not as good as they surprised with this year.

Haha… the Giants. Suck horrendously this year and get rewarded with the hardest schedule in the league. Poor devils.

Giants barely missed out on #1 overall pick this year.
They’re already analyzing 2026 QB draft class to help them decide what they want to do in this draft.

For some reason I'm betting Jax

4-13

You might be a bit too optimistic

 

[infamousstyles]

So instead of the few playoff teams were we get curb stomped back up reality our schedule will be a curb stomping 80% of the season. Lol

 

[Fmart322]

We're going to the Super Bowl next year.
Book it!

Seriously though, we're cooked.
Also next season we have 9 road games too.

 

[G2]

No one has a clue how any team will be

A Washington “ letdown” is a wish. Sans sound reasons to expect it it’s just fantasy all Giants, Eagles and Cowboys fans hope will happen. There‘s as many reasons to believe they’ll be better than this season than worse.

They were not dominant this year.

 

[jazzcat22]

Year to year SOS means nothing anymore.

Teams change so quickly and then there are the injuries.

Look at Dallas and SF. 2 winning teams the past 3 years, prior to the 2024 season. Fans probably thought, oh that will be a tough game. Especially Dallas and their HFA in 2022 and 2023.
Those tough games became easy games.

They will be hard pressed to equal their 12-5 record given they will be playing better teams for their 3 non-common games. As well as the 2 Divisions in the inter-division games.

They were not dominant this year.

They were record-wise which is what SoS is based on.

 

[jazzcat22]

They were record-wise which is what SoS is based on.

I meant they were lucky to win 3 or 4 of those games as usual.
Lucky bounces, or unlucky for the other team. As in weird plays. And a few fortuitous calls.

Just like KC this year. They could have lost another 4 games easily. But the other team missed last second FG's.

I know, a win is a win, a loss is a loss. But sometimes just weird things happen.
