Cowboys vs. Other NFC elites

[waldoputty]

Who do you think are 'better' than the Cowboys - out of Vikings, Seahawks, Falcons and Eagles.
IMO, Cowboys are probably better than the Eagles, while pretty even matchups with Vikings, Seahawks and Falcons.
I would say NFC is pretty wide open.

Out of these 4, Atlanta has the best offense, with most passing yards, QB is top rated, and #6 in rushing yards. However, their defense are near the bottom in points allowed and similar # of sacks as Dallas.

Vikings, Eagles and Seattle have top defenses being top 3 in points allowed, but Seattle and Vikings are very poor in rushing yards while Eagles are about average in rushing yards.
Vikings has the best defense, leads in sacks, 2nd in points allowed, but dont trust their QB in a big game.

In a big game, Russell Wilson would be more dependable than Vikings and Eagles QB. Not sure if I would prefer Matt Ryan though.

Atlanta has perhaps the best receiver in the league, while receivers for Vikings, Seahawks and Eagles are probably one step below Cowboys.

I'm as pessimistic as they get. I'm not sure anyone can **** with us right now

 

[theogt]

Not really scared of any team at this point.

I think the biggest threat is Atlanta because if they get hot with chunking it down the field things could get ugly. That said they can also lose with that style quickly. In general I fear more offensive teams than defensive powers

You tell 'em girl!

We will find out in January.

 

[Direwolf63]

The Vikings are the best team in the conference. We are in the mix for #2 right now.

 

[Titleist]

Simply put - we are better than anyone else in the NFC. If I have to make my case then you haven't been watching the games

 

[links18]

The Falcons look the scariest. Vikings have Sam Bradford at QB--he'll come down the earth eventually.

Not really scared of any team at this point.

Same..

Vikings blitz packages bother me.. Especially with Romo.

Julio Jones worries me just because of how they moved him all over against us last year and looked like the best WR ever.

Regardless... Who has an answer for what we do???

 

[Gameover]

Eagles aren't elite(Not to say we won't lose to them)

Right now? Vikings and maybe Atlanta

We're better than Green Bay and Seattle

I wish Minnesota wasn't on our schedule.

Playing Minny playoffs is favorable for our defense.

Our style of play, offense and defense, is built to win against high powered offenses. Keep the defense off the field with long drives on offense, then bend but don't break forcing opponents to spend time methodically moving down the field, eating up clock. And both are really good at doing exactly that.

Well the entire league has to worry about our ability to run and pass. They have to worry about Zeke running the ball. They also have to worry about Dez - on whether to double team him or not. If they do we can still hurt them with Cole Beasley, TWill and Witten. Then they have to worry about Dak and his ability to run with the ball. I don't know if were better than any of those teams mentioned. But I know our offense is the hardest offense to defend against. They should be more worried about us.

Well you have the 3 teams with the 3 top defenses.
Out of those 3, I guess the Seahawks is the best and playoff tested, and they have the most reliable QB.

Then you have Atlanta with a very balanced attack, but their D probably cannot stop us.

 

[Fizziksman]

i'm scared of ref-aided defense Seattle.

 

[alicetooljam]

Atlanta always starts hot and fizzles, dont scare me....Vikings D is legit, outside of that, Seahawks, Cardinals...still a long way to go...but a lot to be excited about...

 

[ScipioCowboy]

If they get Pittsburgh sans Roethlisberger, they have an excellent chance of being 10–1 heading into Minnesota after Thanksgiving.

 

[Gameover]

Arizona is still in the mix.

 

[MRV52]

No one baby, you looking at the Super Bowl champs.

 

[Idgit]

You accidentally put the Eagles on your list of elite NFC teams.

MIN is the only one I think is clearly better than the Cowboys right now, in the NFC.
