I put Cowboys ahead of Miami. SF also goes ahead of the Cowboys until proven otherwise.I don’t put a ton of stock in “power rankings” before a seasons starts because it’s all paper at this point. But I know many Cowboys fans do so I thought I would share this as we approach the season. I can’t link it because it’s ESPN+ but I can at least mention what they said.
ESPN’s Top Ten Preseason Power Rankings:
Like I said at the start, I don’t put a lot of stock in these rankings before we’ve seen a single team play a down of meaningful football yet.The NFL of late is a year to year thing. A great team one year doesn’t mean it is the next. Starting next weekend we will begin the process of separating the contenders from the pretenders.
- Kansas City- with the best player in the NFL (Mahomes) and an all time great offensive coach in Andy Reid, the chiefs should be #1. The Chris Jones holdout is a problem but I’ll be shocked if isn’t worked out soon.
- Filly eaglets- they remain loaded at several positions but no NFC East winner has repeated in nearly 20 years. I’m skeptical.
- Buffalo- Josh Allen is good but he throws too many picks.
- Cincinnati- if Joe Burrow is healthy they will be very tough.
- Miami- great defense on paper, but Tua although good last year is is still a health question mark.
- Cowboys- ESPN says adding Gilmore and Cooks makes us better. They also say we are much closer to Filly than last year. I agree. The OL starters are good but no depth.
- San Fran- their OL has questions but ESPN says Shanahan can get the most out of an offense. Surprised ESPN has them this low.
- LA Chargers- they have the talented QB Herbert but so far has not materialized in a playoff win. ESPN apparently thinks they might do that this year.
- Cleveland- This ranking surprises me. ESPN thinks a lot more of this roster than I do. DeShaun Watson has talent but not sure he’s good enough to make this team a top ten team.
- NY Jets- I would have ranked them higher than Cle and higher than 10. Rodgers I’d diminished but he’s still good. And the jets have a pretty good D. If Rodgers upgrades their offense they could be really good.
Thoughts?
Their roster is ridiculous and thier young QB just had a MVP season. What is it that you dont understand?Don't understand the endless media love affair with the Eagles.
Fact- the Cowboys are 8-3 in their past 11 games with Philly. And while one of the wins was against Gardner Minshew last year, I don't think the Eagles are giving back beating Cooper Rush so it evens out.

sorry, I really am not buying into Miami. I am not sure why cleveland is there.I don’t put a ton of stock in “power rankings” before a seasons starts because it’s all paper at this point.

Have to agree. This is way too high for them. I'd have them outside of the top 10 and Jacksonville ahead of them. Tua is one solid hit from having to re-learn how to use a fork.No way Miami at 6 imo lol.
I agree. I actually don‘t buy into “power rankings” for NFL teams anyway. The only power rankings that matter in the NFL are playoff seedings.sorry, I really am not buying into Miami. I am not sure why cleveland is there.
I understand completely. I also understand that if the Cowboys lost some starters and both coordinators like the Eagles did the media would be predicting doom and gloom.Their roster is ridiculous and thier young QB just had a MVP season. What is it that you dont understand?
i’m not even sure what you’re saying. are you talking about the cowboys? what does that have to do with why the eagles are overrated?Sorry No.
Might want to check who played qb vs your team last year and the fortunate times your opponent had big injuries.
lol for real. what an odd responseHow would Dallas opponents affect the Eagles schedule?
