They've had us at 2 for the last several weeks, but yeah, Pugilist, they are pretty bad at times, man!

I went ahead and bolded the averages, since it's not lining up the way I want it to in my post (using the space bar). Just for ease of reading.

Click the individual links to see the rankings for the posted sites, all. :)

And good morning, Pugilist, and rest of the Zoners :)

>We can argue if the Seattle Seahawks or New England Patriots would beat the Cowboys on a neutral field, and perhaps they would.

We would beat Seattle all day. Their front seven can't handle our offensive line and Wilson struggles against our coverage. New England would definitely expose our lack of a pass rush and injuries to our secondary.

Yeah, I don't get the Seattle fear. they had no business being in that last Super Bowl. That championship game was one of the luckiest games I've ever seen in my life.

Our defense is fine really.

If the game unfolds early like it did in Pittsburgh than yes it can be a worry but if Dallas is playing with a lead then our defense is a non-factor because the offense just keeps the ball and finishes drives with points.

Our offense is our defense. You can't judge Dallas like these 31 other teams because we don't play the same style as them. We don't fling it everywhere. We grind clock and score points. That is our defense.

I hear your point but its predicated on the offense getting and playing with a lead. Although we've been able to overcome, it appears to me Dak has not been playing well the 1st half of the last few games (remove Cleveland for obvious reason). Don't get me wrong, he's kept his composure and finished strong but not sure with the better teams in the league (ie NE, Seattle) if our offense will be our defense and we'll need to rely more heavily on our D. A Brady and Wilson could easily expose and take advantage of our bend but don't break defense, changing our game plan. That's why I question our ranking as #1 and am hoping Dak's 1st half struggles in the 1st half is something he will work through.

Yeah... Every team has holes though..

Dallas though... We are a team that imposes our will.. We don't have to rely on rhythm passing and everything else like other teams do. We play a game of who wants it more and can you stop the run game.
