USA Today: Cowboys Power Ranking 16th

[CowboysLakerBamaFan]

He must have seen a video of Cynthia Frelund saying we were going to get 8.9 wins and 8.1 losses this year

She is known to make poles rise, or occasionally (as in this case) make polls fall.

USA Today, Always hated us the past 20 years anyway. We can win the SB and the next season they would rank us #20.

It has been a rag of a paper since early 2000’s. The National Inquirer if still in business, is more correct than this rag. I guess they are still saying aliens are visiting us.

Yawn.

They may finish that way or stink. But right now, before week 1, there are not 15 teams better than Dallas.

 

[charron]

Good. Rank them as low as possible. Let them play as under dogs

 

[CWR]

He really likes the Saints, Lions and Seattle better than Dallas. Obviously he thinks the AFC is much better than the NFC. The good news is when Davis picks Dallas to be bad they have a great season.

The best thing for us is these idiots counting us out. Please and thank you.

We face very good defenses this season.
Who here doesn't have doubts concerning our offense?
Hence the low ranking as a defense can only do so much when the offense is going 3 and out and not scoring TD and kicking FG in the Redzone!!!!

That isnt really the point of these.

It’s based off going into the season. Dallas won 12 games and a playoff game. They improved at WR and CB arguably their biggest positions of needs.

You can say they’ll stink in the future or won’t make the playoffs. But the basis of this now is that there really isn’t 15 teams better.

That's basically an 8-8 joke revived

Nate Davis of USA Today has had too many concussions. Here’s his rankings:

1. Chiefs
2. Eagles
3. Bengals
4. 49ers
5. Bills
6. Jets
7. Steelers
8. Ravens
9. Jags
10. Saints
11. Lions
12. Seahawks
13. Browns
14. Chargers
15. Dolphins
16. Cowboys (previous rank #6)

He’s got them dropping 10 spots from May until a few days before the first game.

Am I missing something here? He’s also got us at 9-8 on the season.

I’m not the most optimistic on this forum but this is just wrong.

What a joke!!!!

Only 4 teams in the NFL did better then Dallas last year. That's my power ranking.

Yes, she certainly has made a few poles rise, but not without makeup.

 

[Sarge]

Steelers at 7 is a joke.

Vegas says 9.5

 

[CCBoy]

I would expect something akin to this from them...

In a new GQ profile, Hopkins claimed he reached out to four teams — the Detroit Lions, Dallas Cowboys, New York Giants, and San Francisco 49ers — about potentially playing for them, but did not even receive a response.

Gotta love it when an “expert” pisses in your pocket and tries to tell you it’s raining lol…

 

[stilltheguru]

People care about these rankings?

I kind of agree with 1-6 but it is pure anarchy after that

He has an entire division ranked higher - the AFC North.

 

[Xizor]

I love low rankings this early in the year. It's bulletin board material. When they rank us high it gets to the players head and they become complacent. Kinda like my fantasy team this year. The early projections has me low. I plan to show those projections if I finish high.

 

[JW82]

Lol. I am a debbie downer but 16 is absurd.

I think this pretty right on. We have no oline depth, no lb depth and we do not have a number one rb. Pollard is a 2 and dowdle should be practice squad. Not to mention mister INT. Aka Dakota Prescott
