NFL Power Rankings: Cowboys up, Colts down as preseason heats up

Not sure if this has been posted yet but.... NFL.com has us at 20? Behind the Bears? Miami? Chargers? Saints? Colts?

I mean, I know I am a total homer but Saint's with no Brees? Colts with no Wentz? I mean... the Bears with no QB to speak of? I know our defense was atrocious and maybe will be again but... ya know... 20 behind THOSE teams?

I look forward to proving them so so wrong!! GO COWBOYS!!

Even at #20, we are the highest ranked team in the division. LOL.

 

[ZekeTrain]

Seems fair until we know what level Dak will be playing at.

 

[MountaineerCowboy]

What did we do to deserve to be ranked any higher than those teams? What did we do last year WITH DAK that says we're better than them?

Just another stupid ranking. Actually I am not surprised at this. And don't really care.
Will be interesting to se all the comments. I already know how this thread will turn out.

If I were to rank us. I would have us 12 to 16 range with a healthy team and perceived improvement on defense. Probably more like 15 or 16.

Steelers are too high, and if they have SF up there, based on injuries, then Dallas should be higher. Which is why I say at least 16.

Like I said earlier today, I wonder how many of our fans pay any attention to the rest of the NFL other than when Dallas plays them.

The Cowboys are 2 games over .500 the last four seasons and I'm reading SB talk, "at least 12 wins", while I'm seeing 8-10 wins.

It's called being a fan. Being optimistic. Hoping we do well the coming season. It must be so sad going into the season going "Well, we sucked last year, we'll probably suck this year too. No way we actually improved." Pay attention to the other 31 teams and their fan bases and most are talking about the same thing...except the Jets.

Last year our team was completely derailed by injuries. Pretty much the entire o-line was out. Some of their backups were out. Injuries at QB, WR, and RB. I get we didn't look good last year but I still think 20 is a bit low. I'd put us in the high teens as of right now.

Are you sure you're not looking at an all time list?

 

[MarcusRock]

Uh oh. A power rankings butt hurt thread.

First it's, "Don't pay attention to the media because we know they're Cowboys haters."
Then it's, "What? The media ranked us so low? This confirms they're haters!"
(Repeat)

The media (house) always wins.

They drafted at 12th, supposed to be at 10th, which would have put them at 22.

Until a team shows what it wasn't before, that's what it will be going in.

Those rankings mean nothing and why they waste their time, I don't know. They have a playoff system that decides it all.

Before they started up these 24/7 sports and football networks, they should have decided if they had enough to cover without coming up with these lame ideas. Power rankings in the NFL? What a joke. Almost as stupid as mock drafts.

Like Jerry Jones, many Cowboy fans are just as delusional when it comes to the Cowboys....

 

[JoeKing]

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, even the league office. It's the responsibility of the Cowboys franchises to do something about it through winning.

 

[Motorola]

Seems fair until we know what level Dak will be playing at.

Also the defense.

 

[TequilaCowboy]

Yeah, rankings don't mean squat...this ain't college football. It will be decided on the field where it should be. When the dust settles, the points are counted, and the trophy is raised.......wait, You sure we are not the 20th worst team in the league.? .....oh never mind, i'll take it.

 

[Sarge]

Seems fair until we know what level Dak will be playing at.

More importantly, what level our defense will be playing at.

Let's check the rankings & ratings 65 days from now...about this time..a quarter after 8 pm EDT, 7:15 CDT.
The Cowboys will have just completed their 6th game--at the Patriots. Almost one third of the season in the books.

 

[Mountaineerfan]

Honestly I think until we prove something WFT looks like the best team in the division. I only watched about 10 minutes of the game last night and that defense is far and beyond anyone in our division. Fitzpatrick is the weak link.

I'm just not sure what we are gonna be on Defense and we are a shoulder away from the bottom on offense. Flame on boys just calling it as a flash judgment.

 

[Cowpolk]

They still seem to be ranked a bit too high. They have a terrible defense and an overpaid QB who is more interested in padding his personal stats than is is about winning. They have an RB who practices against immobile trash cans and cones.

Link please

What did we do to deserve to be ranked any higher than those teams? What did we do last year WITH DAK that says we're better than them?

You haven't been listening to Jerry??? We've done plenty. He totally revamped that defense. Heck even the 3rd & 4th rounders might have a shot at a pro-bowl season.

If that D can hold our opponents to under 25 points a game, we'll probably have double digits in the win column.

Yeah I expect to see Dallas be better than all of those teams......as does Vegas. But should be easy to make some money if people truly feel that way but they don't.....soon as the Cowboys win a few games they will get overhyped.....
