Sounds about right to me.

I wonder what the 2020 power ranking of TB was ??

Ironically, the Buccaneers' power ranking a year ago was the same as the Cowboys' is now - #19.

Going to say in 4-7 range

Seriously???? Don't they know we are always one person away from a Super Bowl!!!

That one person happens to be a GM.

Unlike the Buccaneers the Dallas Jerry's won't be going anywhere fast. This is a scrub of a team filled with a few flashy individuals. No grit, no fight and as soft as their coach's gut.

I can't believe they have Kansas City, rated higher than the Cowboys.

did you look that up? If so it shows the espn pre season P ranking is meaningless.
I dont really buy into power rankings, that just uses flawed stats. And for 21 it would just look at what they did in 20.
There are all sorts of variables that go into how a team will play in any future games. Otherwise betting on games would be easy.

motorola says it was 19, which if it was shows that power rankings are meaningless.

"You are what your record says you are." That's just one of the memorable quotes entered into the NFL vernacular by the legendary Bill Parcells. And looking at the latest set of p

At least motorola's

The vast majority of publications had Tampa as contenders pre season last year

But really, I agree. Power rankings are just for entertainent.

6 NFC East wins with 3 more wins spread out.

Maybe, but assuming they still lost Martin for several games, etc. I don't see better than 8-8...

 

[DallasDW00ds0n]

When you’re a dumpster fire for 25 years and the only thing you can muster up is a historically bad defense then you don’t deserve to be higher than 30.

Tenth on March 30.

 

[SportsGuru80]

Oh well... Until proven otherwise this is accurate.

 

[TequilaCowboy]

They deserve to be at the bottom.

Any lower, and they'd be in Div II College Football. Maybe we can compete there. Bring on Minnesota St.--Mankato

To me that says they should make the playoffs, but not go far. lol
So power rankings are meaningless.

I thought at same time TB would make playoffs, but I didnt think they could go to SB, I gave them about a 20% chance of that.
Then after they lost to NO badly both times, I didnt think they could get past NO or GB.
I was rooting for them all season, but thought NO would knock them out, so I was happily shocked when they beat NO!
After that I though well maybe they can beat GB, thought it was 50% chance, and they did.
Then I though they had a good lets say 80% chance of beating chiefs, because Brady has so much SB experience, and TB was on a Roll
and defense kept getting better and better.
But to be honest I was shocked by KC not getting a TD and only 9 points. I thought it would be a close game and brady wins in last minute.

New coach new every other season of limited success.

 

[bewp7]

good i am tiered of this team always being over rated and over hyped.

hope no one even talk about them until they win some thing.

 

[Diehardblues]

Does this mean the Cowboys won't win the ESPN Power Ranking Trophy?

Power rankings in a sport with a playoff system is a joke. ESPN is a joke. Someone should have told them a while back, there just isn't enough sports for a 24 hour a day broadcast.

Yep

Power ranking in NFL is useless. We’re ranked #19. Nobody cares. Lol

 

[Diehardblues]

Maybe they should start having bowl games for the NFL teams that don’t make the playoffs. Lol

6 wins and you’re bowl eligible. Jethro would love that.
