Pretty sure the Bengals D-line would disagree about them not being #1.

 

[Stash]

Leading the league in rushing and tied for the second fewest sacks allowed in the league.

Suck it nerds! They ARE the best, despite the injury losses.

 

[Clove]

They are the best. Disregard what you've read.

 

[ElGatoGrande]

blah blah blah, media generated conversation and stupidity,,, who the frig cares who they deem as the best OL?

I don't hold PFF in high regard....

 

[JDSmith]

That was published before the Bengals game, because I saw it referenced on a Giants forum. I thought it was comical that they had the Cowboys as the third best in the NFCE. It's just further proof that PFF is useless for anything except stat gathering.

This list has the Giants with a better offensive line?

So they aren't #1 because they have guys hurt yet they are top 5 lol. Top 5 with 2 guys that are hurt. Pretty good. I have to say.......i'm shocked to see Giants and Commanders in the top 5. All you hear from Giants fans is how bad the line is.

Love the rating, lets keep it at the 5th best OL all year. We will punch every Dline in the mouth each and every game. Packers come on down you the next contestants.

 

[guag]

We have the best rushing attack and have kept Dak upright almost constantly, and yet the fact that we've managed to do this with 2 injured starters is being held against us??

You seriously can't make this stuff up. Unless you're PFF of course.

I think their eyes are not focusing properly. A trip to the Optometrist will do wonders for them.

It's funny that they bring up the injury to Tyron, but the fact is that Chaz Green could probably start for the Giants tomorrow. He's much better than Flowers. In fact, the Giants don't have a single player who could start for our line, and a couple of them couldn't even make our roster.

 

[Diehardblues]

Our most famous OL in the 90's was very good until Emmitt came along then became great and once we started winning championships the legacy was complete .

Ultimately there will need to be team success for this OL to have their place in history.

Bragging rights are for winners.

Word on the street is the Dallas Cowboys have the best offensive line in football. At least that's what is constantly repeated inside the locker room and by many football aficionados around the country.
Pro Football Focus disagrees.

The site ranked the Cowboys offensive line as the top unit in the league coming into the season but has since dropped them to No. 5 heading into last week. Their reason?

"Tyron Smith has been injured, and LG La'El Collins has been lost for an extended period, so the line hasn't been quite as dominant as we expected it to be coming into the year. Collins, in particular, was not playing well even before he got hurt."

It is hard to argue with the reasoning because the unit has been hit hard by injuries this season. At the same time, they have paved the way for rookie running back Ezekiel Elliott to be the NFL's leading rusher through five weeks of action and given rookie quarterback Dak Prescott more than enough time to find open receivers.

Is the Cowboys offensive line the fifth best in the NFL? Maybe, maybe not. But after investing three first-round picks in the unit, they'll be judged accordingly.

Good News: This guy has fulfilled his quota on the number of words he has to write, and it doesn't make a lick of difference in the outcome of the games.

He can call them the best or the worst or anything in between, but as long as our run game keeps dominating it does not matter.
