I'm Buying The Hype

I disagree with anyone who thinks that Dallas has some clear cut dominant team or is a lock for a super bowl.

There are a handful of very good teams in the NFL right now and Dallas is one of them. Who comes out on top will come down to luck, injuries, a handful of plays, etc. The margins are really close. Once its over the media talking heads will play it up that the winning team was far greater than it was.
I agree. And if the Cowboys and Eagles think the fight for the division is between the two of them I think they are making a big mistake. The Giants are a much improved team having added players where they needed them most. The rebuilt their offensive line and their defensive line is solid too. They have receivers and protection for Danny Dimes. I would not underestimate them at all.

Rankings are click bait. You fell for it. You think every year the Cowboys are going to win a Super Bowl.
You honestly don't think that this Cowboys team is one of the best in the league? You don't think they are a top 5 team?

Typically somebody in the media will boast about Dallas’s talent and them we bomb or its seems like will not be contenders and they win east. This year seems diffrent, im buying the Hype. Too many positive vibes. Its going to be a fun year ! NFC Champs
The fans that buy into the hype always end up getting burned. I’m hopeful every season, but until the team proves it can improve as the season goes on, and enter the playoffs with a head of steam, I’m going to remain skeptical. The Cowboys have a very tough schedule this season, so you better brace yourself. The team has questions at RB2 and the depth on the OL looks suspect. Dak has continued to struggle with INT‘s in training camp. It’s anyone’s guess how the offense will look under McCarthy and Schottenheimer. Like with every new season I’m in a wait-and-see mode.

I guess I sorta buy the hype about the defense. Anything less than the top 3 defense for the NFL would be very disappointing. Really anything less than the best defense in the NFL would be a let down.

We’re not going to know what kind of team the Cowboys have until the regular season starts. We haven’t seen our starters play a game since last January in the loss to San Francisco. You’ve been anointing rookies and the team the entire summer. We haven’t even played a single regular season game and you already have the Cowboys as a top-five team. Lol It’s going to be interesting to see what your response is If this season doesn’t go as great as you think.

I have thought double digit wins from day 1. I'm looking forward to your responses about Deuce Vaughn.

Double digit wins doesn’t mean we’re going to be a top five team. Vaughn is going to have to light it up this season for you to be right about him. You’ve been anointing him ever since we drafted him.

There's no real hype all 32 teams really believe they have a shot at this point of the season and we do have a great team on paper but paper champions don't win we need some real stuff to happen and I don't care about the record in the regular season as long as we sneak into the playoffs we need a playoff run...

Yeah but to be honest the Eagles and the Cowboys are the front runners regardless of how you try to cover it up however we've seen the battles in the NFC East they're typically very close games if everyone's healthy I don't think anybody's taking it for granted...

As for Mazi I give him the first few games of regular season to show something.
The first preseason was a little disappointing, tho. Things can only improve from here for him...I hope.
Other teams have nose tackles you might find more to your liking, Shane.

We do not have a great team on paper. People use superlatives way too loosely.

The NFC has never been weaker.
My hopes rest on our defense to make the difference esp when our offense is laying eggs.
Am I asking too much from our defense?
Yes...........but one can only hope.
P.S. When you have the Jones family at the helm you learn to hold a small cup for those cherries!!! :banghead:
The hurdle is as low as its ever been.
Cowboys can do it!

you can do it

Big mistake. Never buy the Jonesboys hype. They have to prove it and earn it after all this time.

That doesn't mean stop being a fan, it just means don't eat the cheese or drink the kool-aide until we at least make it to a conference title game.
