I'll check my math when you check your analysis.

You STILL failed to answer the question! If the Dallas opponents have the same crappy win loss record as the Patriots opponents, then why is Dallas over rated and New England is not?

According to your post that is precisely what you based your synopsis on.

Your the one who brought up the Patriots. This thread is about the Cowboys being overrated, why do you need to talk about the Pats? I didn't hear you mention the Colts or the Packers, they are also 4-0. This thread was solely about the Cowboys and the W/L record of their opponents. It has nothing to do with any other teams. But to bring up the Patriots you'll get your chance in week 6.

Uh no...if you read the VERY FIRST post in this thread, you will see the originator mentioned the "perennial favorite" the Patriots in comparison to Dallas. And that is the post that I replied too.

I think the reason many, including him, think the Cowboys are overrated and the Patriots aren't is because EVERY year, including last, they were Super Bowl contenders. Last year, people weren't thinking about the Cowboys winning it all. Now some are saying yes.

The difference is that basically the opinion of the Pats stayed the same, while the opinions people have of the Cowboys have changed based on a few games. The Pats only added firepower in the offseason, while the Cowboys basically maintained the same people on both sides of the ball. They have a few key losses, which I believe makes them more overrated than the Pats.
