Cowboys move up to 2nd in power rankings

[ultron]

No chance Green Bay stops our offense & the way you beat them is take away Devonte Adams - we have a lockdown corner that is capable of that.

They just lost their starting TE to a torn ACL (I think this is a bigger deal than most may think), and I firmly believe that Rodgers and Dak are about even in terms of talent and ability to make plays at this point in time.

If they played 10 times I think Dallas wins 7 out of 10 times. Who will be better the Saturday or Sunday when the inevitable happens? We shall see and Greg better make his kicks.

.......what counts is those playoff wins. But yeah, season first. So far, so good.

Completely fair to have GB at 1. Dallas deserve 2. I wouldn't argue if they were reversed but I am glad we are in the discussion either way. Feels good to be this relevant.

I'm ok with that too. Green Bay has a tougher road ahead than we do.

The way our defense stopped Kirk Cousins and Devin Smith, I'm confident we can stop Green Bay in the same fashion. Rogers likes to throw those quick screens to either Adams or Jones. Parsons will be up to the task in stopping that.

Man how nostalgic would it be to have a Cowboys Bills super bowl and is blowing them out by 35 points.

The Cowboys are now #3 in the NFC. That's really all I look at.

 

[Zekeats]

I want the bye . . . period. It's one less game and an extra week of rest after a long season! Don't care who we play. I have emotional reasons to want a shot at GB as I hate the player AR. Secondly we owe LA an azz whipping. Thirdly I want a rematch (I think) with Tampon Bay.

So Cowboys, go get the best record, get us a bye !

Power rankings are an empty suit . . . they mean nothing. Personally I wish we were ranked 4th or 5th or even lower.

Go get home field!

"The Cowboys used to be a top-heavy operation comprised of stars and scrubs. Not anymore."
That bit made me lol

I hope the Cowboys and GB meet up in January regardless of where they are ranked.

Me too man, been thinking about that for a few weeks now. I can't wait for a revenge game. It would be a beautiful thing to end Aaron Rodgers.

 

[Streifenkarl]

We are winning games lots of different ways. That is what great teams do.

Offense is clearly elite in both air and ground attacks.

But the D is gelling into something special as well. The mentality, the big plays, the physicality is all improved. Exciting to see the team playing complimentary football and notching team victories

This. Winning because one aspect of your game excels isn't what gets you the championship. Our versatility at the moment is more comforting to me than a click and boom offense alone.

Nice to see them this high, incredible how many teams we still play that are in the bottom 10....

Got to keep rolling, go cowboys!

So do these rankings mean we lose in the super bowl?

 

[lspain1]

I don’t really care too much about these rankings, but I don’t think Green Bay is better than us. In fact, I think there are 4-5 teams better than them.

I get your point...but last Thursday night with something like 11 starters out, Rodgers was over the top excellent against a good team. He has been a nemesis in every sense of the word and likely to be the archenemy again this year.

 

[charron]

That is what an actual defense can do for you.

sooo should we not discuss anything until January? I always thought takes like this are weird.

 

[perrykemp]

Cowboys and Packers fate is to play one another in the playoffs. The football gods demand it.

 

[Hardline]

This isn't college football. I don't care about rankings in the NFL.

Prisco is one of the biggest anti Cowboy guys out there in the media.

“Winning on the road with a backup quarterback against a good team is why they are a real Super Bowl threat. The defense is getting better by the week.”

So that deserves dropping 3 spots?
