What percent you give us to beat Seattle, Indy or New England?

[MarionBarberThe4th]

Me
I go
Seattle - 40% we beat them but they're flying around now and Parnell or Murray could've made a big mistake In that one.

Indy - ******* like 90% I mean

New England - 50% great matchup. Would've been fun :f

I would have put us at 55 or 60 % for Seattle and agree with the rest if we had beaten GB by what we left on the field 6 pts off FG's and 7 off either Dez non catch or Murray non fumble

I think Dallas is better than all three.

Green Bay was the bad matchup, and thanks to a missed field goal, a fumbled touchdown, and a bad call, the Cowboys are sitting at home.

Good question...
SEA: 50% - I just think our OL could have really tired them out and run them over just like the first game. However, they are in a groove so it would have been an even game depending on the X factor being Wilson who could probably run rampant.
NE: 65% - I like Brady but just think their OL and lack of a good starting RB hurts them vs. Dallas. CJones isn't fully healed so I think we would have had a good chance vs. them.
IND: 80% - It would have been a shootout, but Luck can try to do too much and usually messes up. They have no run game for most part.

Agreed. The Packers were the Cowboys' lone stumbling block on their way to Lombardi Trophy number six. Now, we'll never know if it would've happened.

Who knows. We saw a different team in the playoffs than we did in December. If its the December Cowboys, I give them 75% chances against all those teams. I think the December Cowboys were better than any of those teams.

But if its the teams that showed up in the playoffs, not so much.

I just don't know what happened to that team. They looked simply unstoppable.

Consider this. In December, Romo had a rating of 133.7, the highest among any quarterback in NFL history with at least 100 attempts in December.

And the points production was staggering:

• 41-28 win against Chicago
• 38-27 win over Eagles
• 42-7 win over the Colts
• 44-17 blowout win over the Commanders

The Cowboys had such an impressive December, that Bob Sturm wrote the following:

The offense has never been better than it is in December of 2014. The run game is among the very best in the NFL and a devastating balance of zone and man blocking where the game is taken physically to the opponent regardless of defensive looks. The pass game is clearly the change-up pitch of this arsenal (by design), but it comes with an impressive precision-based attack that seems to leave almost no plays on the field. When you make a coverage mistake against the Dallas Cowboys (or, simply a coverage decision to allot fewer men in the secondary), Tony Romo is picking secondaries apart with ease.

With that backdrop, the postseason was very disappointing. First the Cowboys looked unprepared and lethargic against Detroit and had to rely on a furious second half comeback to win that game. And then they only scored 24 points. And then in Green Bay, against not even as good a defensive unit as Detroit’s, they scored a measely 21 points.

 

[DeaconMoss]

I'm telling you. This Dallas team was a SB ring team. But to answer the original OP, Dallas can beat New England, but playing against New Englands...22 on both sides of the ball would be tough.

 

[camelboy]

Seattle 80%
Indy 100%
NE 80%

I really believe Dallas is the best team in the NFL this season, even with the issue on the defensive side

 

[BigD5]

Depends on if the NFL had every call go against us or not.

Honestly we beat GB 8 times out of 10 but we got cheated the entire game by the officiating

I think we are too physical for Seattle, they are fast but underwhelming against our O-line. We manhandled them. I say it was 75% chance we beat Seattle, 99% we beat Indy and 50-50 against NE.

 

[TheCoolFan]

30% vs. Seattle
60% vs. Indianapolis
30% vs. New England

The Cowboys just didn't have enough talent on defense to be able to win it all. It finally caught up to them vs. GB when an injured Rodgers still torched them. Gotta have at least a few impact makers on defense. All the remaining teams have some standout players on D...

 

[perrykemp]

35% against Seattle
75% against Indy
50% against New England

I wish these were higher, but let's face it the Cowboys played uninspired football against Detroit and looked to me to no better / no worse than the Packers with a limited Aaron Rodgers.

The Cowboys team of December that was blowing everybody away just wasn't there in the playoffs.

 

[Idgit]

Just pulling numbers out of the air:

SEA: 45%: I don't think Murray has been as productive as he was earlier, though now they're missing Mebane, too. Both teams were playing much better football at the end of the year than they were earlier, but I think SEA improved a bit more than we did. That game was closer than we like to remember the first time. Had it not been for TW's toe-touch, I'm not certain we win it the first time.

INDY: 65%: We saw with PHI that what happens one game is not necessarily an indicator of what will happen the next. But I still think this is a game we win handily. TY Hilton back makes a huge difference for that offense, though.

NE: 55%: This is a team that was ahead of us in passer rating differential this year, but watching that Ravens game, I have to say, they look beatable by a good Dallas team. I'd have loved the chance to see what would have happened.

 

[USMarineVet]

I know some people go crazy over these topics cause they're hypothetical, but I love them. This board never misses a beat and covers all the angles. It also allows us to heal.

Personally, I think insight goes out the window when you play these late playoff games. Even with beating 2 of the 3 during the regular season, I see these games as whoever has the most determination and who gets the lucky bounces. I think it's fair to say that we are evenly matched with all of them. We would have faced Indy with Ty Hilton on the field this time around. Seattle is playing much better and it's never easy when you face the Brady/Belichick combo. I respectfully give us 50/50 with all of them.

 

[Arkyvarminter]

Seattle..Remember it would be up there: 35%

Indy... Wouldn't be as easy as last time: 65%

New England... Cant stand this team but: 50%

 

[Jack Burton]

Seattle 50%. We match up good with them, but they are very tough and it's always hard to beat a team twice. Especially in a hornet's nest of a stadium like Seattle has. Still, we would have a 50/50 shot I believe.

Indy 75%. I think it would be a much tougher game and certainly not a blowout, but I don't see the Colts being able to stop our offense.

Patriots 40%. I would give us a higher percentage if we were running the ball as effectively as we did the first half of the season. Without ball control, to protect the defense, I feel Brady would carve them up, in much the same way Rodgers did.

 

[MWH1967]

We have retained the Boss...get him some better players on 'D" and this is a moot point if we have some health next year..if not...could be 8-8 and could be dominate....

It's a crazy game....

 

[joseephuss]

There was a discussion on ESPN radio this morning about how the Pats tend to struggle against zone run blocking schemes. That would be an area where Dallas could have an advantage.

 

[goshan]

With Aaron Roger's injury, we should have beaten the Packers by 20. No way they were the most difficult opponent of those 4.

 

[Everson24]

Seattle would have been toughest. Normally our defense matches up well with them but with all our injuries at linebacker I would say:
Seattle - 40%

New England - 55% - would have been a great Super Bowl. The NFL blew it and I hope they get another blowout like last year

Indianapolis- 70% - Luck is a fierce competitor and looks like a big game QB to me, but we are the better team.
