Why is this team so underrated?

[BigBlacKahuna]

Yes we are and it's great. This team is as talented as any team in the league but the two things it was missing are FOCUS and WORK ETHIC and I see both of them now coming out of camp. I also see unity on this team now and that's extremely important. There aren't any divas on this team, just hard workers playing together and that combined with lots of talent is gonna take this team a long way this season. I'm glad folks aren't talking about us, but they will be. Watch and see!!!!!

Amen Brother......Amen!!

A lot of these third place predictions still have the Cowboys going to the playoffs, so I'm not sure how "insulting" any of this is.

Eagles and Giants are stealing the spotlight in the NFC East for no good reason, really. I know it's preseason, but the Eagle's defense hasn't looked good, and the Giants really don't have a good offense. Cowboys seem really balanced.

Because of what usually happens in December which is losses to Division Rivals

12/25/06-Eagles 23 Cowboys 7
12/16/07-Eagles-10 Cowboys 6
12/30/07-Commanders 27 Cowboys 6
12/28/08-Eagles 44 Cowboys 6

Not winning a playoff game in years tends to do that to a team.

It's all a result of our meltdown in 07 and 08. I think most think our talent is overrated and now with the loss of TO we've fallen out of favor. Maybe the Cowboys being the underdog is for the better. They've proven they don't do well as front runners so we'll see if being disrespected will motivate them.
