Is there any point to this discussion at all? Glad the bye week is over.

I am taking nothing away from the Cowboys as I think they are the best team in the NFC RIGHT NOW. One injury to TO or to Romo make them a mediocre team. If they stay healthy, they will be tough to beat and will go deep into the playoffs.

This is a LONG season, no need to be crowning anybody, NOT even the Pats at this point.

But listen to what you're saying one injury to T.O. or Romo and they're mediocre. Well if that's the case one injury to Phillip Rivers and LT and they're even worse than they are now. One injury to Tom Brady..one injury to Manning and Adai....you see where I'm going?

yea dallas is pretty much torching opposing teams right now. haven't they scored over 30 points in all their games so far ? we still havent even hit the 21 points mark yet, but like everyone says its still early in the season so we'll see what happens.

redsk1 · 10-01-2007, 09:01 AM

The cowboys look pretty good right now. A good run game and an excellent pass game. Romo (i really can't stand the guy) has "it," whatever it is. He just seems to make plays that average QB's can't.

This weekend could be a tough game for the skins. Anyone who is expecting a blowout needs to rethink this. With our trouble scoring points, mixed w/ their passing game and WR's...could be trouble. Not to mention our trouble getting to the QB w/ our front 4. We should win but it's not going to be easy.

Romo and Co looked great when he first took over last year and then fell into a lull...lets give it more than 4 games...

It may have been posted before but Dallas will most likely be 5-0 after next week(Buffalo on MNF). The game against NE is critical for everybody else in the East. They follow that game against Minnesota at home. They could very well be 6-1 or maybe even 7-0 before they have 3 straight against the East. They could runaway with this division. The Redskins need to win every week as long as Dallas is playing so well.

A team can't win the Super Bowl in September (Cowboys) but they can sure make it difficult to win (Eagles).

mheisig · 10-01-2007, 11:45 AM

The combined records of Dallas' opponents over the first four weeks is 3-13. How does this not come up more often? In none of the commentary, none of the power rankings, football shows, nobody mentions it.

I'm not saying the Cowboys are terrible, but they have yet to be really tested when their opponents are a combined 3-13. Yes, they have won the games they are supposed to win, which is an excellent start and certainly something the Skins haven't managed to do. But before we hand over the Lombardi trophy and crown Dallas the next dynasty, let's wait until they play a competitive football team.

They do have one hell of a weak schedule this season and I would say will be a playoff contender for sure. Besides the always hard to predict NFC East matchups, the only other quality team they play is NE in week 6.

When Dallas played the Giants they were 0-0 and when they played the Bears they were 1-1 and only the Dolphins and Rams had losing records of 0-1 and 0-3 respectively. If the Giants, Dolphins, Bears, and Rams (hypothetically) win their next 3 or 4 games, how is that going helping Dallas?

LOL, they have the same schedule as the Redskins, Giants, and Eagles except for two games I believe. All the Cowboys fans, before the Giants game, were saying that the Redskins have an easy schedule and could go 5-0. Given that the Redskins play at NE and Dallas plays them at home, but you still have to play the game.

That's the bottom line, you have to play the game. Three weeks ago, many of us here probably would have thought the Lions were pushovers, not so now. These boys are going to throwing the ball left and right.

Amen,

Any given sunday....heck the Browns could win against Baltimore (I hate Clevland, now that Dallas has their pick, they are winning games).

I don't think the Redskins are worried about them throwing, the D is much better now. The problem is can the offense socre enough points to win the game.

we basically have the same schedule as they do. Funny how our schedule is interprited as tough on this site.

TheMalcolmConnection · 10-01-2007, 11:42 AM

While I think Dallas is good, I still want to see them play a decent team. I don't see anyone in their upcoming schedule besides the Pats, and even that won't be a good gauge of how good they are.

But the problem is if they're playing all these supposedly crappy teams they have a good chance to end up with a great record and homefield advantage throughout the playoffs.
As Giggity pointed out, they could conceivably start the season out by going 6-1 or even 7-0 before their bye week. If the NFC is really filled with so many crap teams then starting out in that fashion will surely put them at the top of the conference.
Granted, just because they start out hot it doesn't mean that they'll end the season on the same kind of tear, but I just don't get how you can discount 4 straight beat downs. Are you going to tell me the Pats aren't really that good because so far they've only beat the Jets, Chargers (the Norv-version), and the Bills?
What's more important: Who they beat or How they beat them? I'd have to say it's how they beat them.

(obviously the injury bug can strike and a team can quickly crash back to Earth, rendering all this moot)
