Vegas didn't like the Cowboys draft and FA

Section446 · May 5, 2016

Going into the season, we're the third best team in the division, those seem like fair odds.

It's wide open.

Dallas should win the division if Romo is healthy but the Giants will probably be a handful.

I'm not worried about the Skins or Eagles.

Sleeping on the Skins would be foolish. If Cousins proves last year wasn't a fluke, the Skins are going to be a pain in the ***.

I still think as long as Romo is healthy, the Cowboys should be the favorite but the Skins are legit IMO.

Who is better? Vegas has the SB odds at:

Cowboys - 22 to 1
Giants - 25 to 1
Commanders - 40 to 1
Eagles - 50 to 1

To me, it's: Washington, NYG, Dallas, Philadelphia.

I'm sleepin on that team.

They won the division by default.

Heck, our 1 game we won with our awful backup Quarterbacks was against those clowns.

I do like their RB and what they did in the draft but if Romo is healthy i'm not worried about that team.

The suspensions do hurt but our first 4 games are...

Giants

Commanders

Bears

9ers

I feel like we should come out of that 3-1.

That'd be nice.

so. Subtracting Hardy and mincey and adding zeke and a dozen other players... Makes us.. Worse.

They are clearly factoring in that our two starting DE's are suspended for 4 games at least and we brought in virtually no one to replace them.

Just think about this for a minute. Going into the off season the Cowboys most pressing needs were pass rushing DE, CB, and backup QB. They had FA and the 4th pick in the draft to do something about all of those things and they did virtually nothing to fill those holes. The one good defensive player they took in the draft isn't even going to play next year. We still have no credible backup and Romo is even more prone to go down with injury. And although Zeke did improve the team we already had one of the best running games in the NFL before he got here.

In this same time last year, Vegas had the Colts primed with the best odds to win the Super Bowl... Something about being so impressed with their FA signings including Frank Gore. We all know how that turned out... Sooooo.. Yeah.

It never gets old listening to you discount anyone and everything that says anything bad about the Cowboys. You know better than the vegas bookies, the beat writer, the analysts, everyone. GO COWBOYS!!! :lmao2:

Will turn out to be one of the greatest drafts in history if Elliott pans out.

There was not a defensive player available with the 4th pick that would have had any impact this year. Defensive rookies takes a year or two to start making contributions. Usually the first year, they have limited playing time.

LOL.....yet people are talking about how our DE and DT we took with the 4th and 3rd round picks are going to make in impact. Who cares about short term thinking? Is that all you care about? Making the playoffs and a few more wins? How about winning the SB or building a contender? It always amazes me how you guys would willing sacrifice building a championship team just to watch the Cowboy have a shot to win a few more games immediately.

And there is no way you can tell me that Bosa would not have played better than some 4th round DE or raiders cast off. Or that Ramsey wouldnt have been better than Claiborn at CB. You have to be joking with think kind of laughable nonsense.

Well, just know that we arent going to be able to stop anyone. 2-2 is the more likely outcome.

2-2 would actually be a great start, that's a tough way to open the season.

Yeah but Zeke is going to play defense for us!

Giants, the have ELF...Eli Luck Factor....but we handled him before with a less defense. Remove Beckham from the equation, get some pressure on him, we should be good. Every year they try to improve their defense and every year seems they fail, more than Dallas.

Commanders, I am a bit concerned here unless Cousins has a bit of a "you like that" slump...it will be what team does better...our offense against their defense or their offense against our defense. I am homering and say our D is more improved than many naysayers think. But won't call this a win, nor a loss.

Bears, does our D really fear Cutler...remove Alshon and stop Lang on most downs. And does anyone fear their D anymore.

SF, hey, it's Chip, we have him handled and with a team he basically needs to rebuild, or seems like it.

So I will go with 3-1 also, the Commanders game being the toughest, as of now. Giants next toughest.

We just gotta get back to 2014 style.

Control the ball and finish drives with points. The defense is going to be bad like it was then.

The DL is the key to the whole defense. They can draft all the DBs in the world snd it won't help until the DL gets an infusion of talent.

So we didn't add any talent to the DL?

Also, is Lawrence and Gregory done for the year? I was not aware of this if ture.

The suspensions hurt. In fact, if Dallas makes the playoffs, an extra loss or two early may have cost them a 1st round bye or at least home field in Rd1.

Dallas' 2nd pick, which was essentially a 1st rounder at 34, gives them exactly zero in year 1...or at least that is the assumption. It's as if for one year they had no pick.

Also, I can recall a few teams with completely dominant defenses (but crappy offenses) winning a Super Bowl...but never the other way around.

Of all the areas that needed upgrading in Dallas, the RB was deemed one of the least by many outsiders. An ultra-premium pick , 4th overall (worth 2 mid 1st rounders) was used to do just that.

Here's hoping Romo and Dez stay healthy, Zeke runs wild, and the defense improves to at least average or better.

Saints and Colts.

Bears and 49ers are trash. Giants is a home game. You can't lose a home game in the division. They should be 3-1 out of the shoot.

They've had two back to back very good offseasons because they now have a real GM.

If Cousins continues his good play, sleeping on the Skins would be foolish.
