DMN: AP’s NFL Power Rankings: Where do Cowboys come in?

[CATCH17]

They lost Clady, and Peyton's arm gives out by mid-October these days. Welker is gone, too.

A huge problem could be the Kubiak offense. He likes to constantly roll his quarterbacks out, and Peyton doesn't do that. This could be a real clash of styles if he forces his offense on Peyton.

On defense, Ware showed how little he had left last year, and that will only be worse. Wears down quickly.

Yeah but they have quite a few pass rushers.

Manning, if that's a weakness, I like their chances.


I just like them.. I feel like the AFC is weak this year and we may see some new blood pop up towards the end but for now I stil like New England and Denver the best.

I wouldn't be shocked if another AFC East team finds their way into the AFC title game this year though.

Bengals have a really good roster as well.

 

[jobberone]

I read the other day that they gave up something like 42 points per game in their losses in 2014. I think the key for that team really is fixing the putrid defense.

Do they have an effective ground game?

 

[Crown Royal]

Do they have an effective ground game?

Gore is a big weapon for them, unfortunately their OL is crap.

 

[JackOfNoTrades]

I'd put Dallas higher but I generally look at teams as SB contenders or not. I think the Cowboys are a contender. I have no problem with the others although I'm less high on Indy and Denver than others.

I agree....Cowboys completely annihilated the Colts last year in week 16 and I'd say had their way with Seattle too. And to boot, I think the net of our offseason additions leave us a much improved team - we should be higher on the list but not losing sleep over it.

 

[jobberone]

Gore is a big weapon for them, unfortunately their OL is crap.

Forgot Gore but I did remember them as having a poor OL. Did they address that?

I agree. Yeah, just a list. They all have to put it out there on grass.

I look back on 2009 after the playoffs and our offseason and remain stunned out how we did ALMOST NOTHING to improve the roster. We had an aging OL but left it as it was...actually made it worse because we let go of Flozel. Sure we added Dez and Lee but they were rookies. It's no wonder 2010 was a disaster. WE had a terrible plan for personnel.

Maybe this is the year David Arkin finally becomes a starter.

 

[Fletch]

Yeah the Colts had their butt kicked by New England and it was the most loop sided game of the playoffs.

Yeah, but the balls were doctored.

 

[jobberone]

Maybe this is the year David Arkin finally becomes a starter.

Stirring the pot are we?

 

[Crown Royal]

Stirring the pot are we?

lol

They really didn't make any line enhancements. And it will hurt them. Lucklily, GOre is a pounder so he will help.

 

[dallasdave]

Yeah, but the balls were doctored.

The Colts would have lost big time if they played with a volley ball

 

[TimHortons]

Yeah but they have quite a few pass rushers.

Bengals always have a good roster and manage to screw it up.

 

[MRV52]

Denver with Manning are going nowhere.as Manning is on the slide.

 

[Fletch]

Bengals always have a good roster and manage to screw it up.

Chalk it up to Marvin Lewis.

 

[Toruk_Makto]

Anyone who thinks Indy is a better team than we are....when we are better at qb, offensive line, wr and TE....probably better on defense as a whole...and smacked them around last year....

...Well that person isn't someone i'm going to discuss serious football with.

Peyton was hurt last year. Has had two of his better seasons ever the last 3 years.

Just hunting for a narrative huh?

 

[KJJ]

I don't get caught up in power rankings they change every week couldn't care less about them.

He wasn't playing well before the hip.

Were you a hall monitor in school?

 

[JoeyBoy718]

I prefer when the media has us at 32nd.
