NFC East

Are the Dallas Cowboys getting over-hyped? I saw an interesting argument made on another forum.

1. They're 1-1 against winning teams this season. (Giants, Redskins).
2. Their opponents win % is .386 (38-61-2). The lowest in the league. Major Red-flag.

They really haven't played & beaten any legit teams so far. Pittsburgh is (4-5) & the Packers are (4-6) as we speak. The Redskins being the only one with a winning record at the moment.

Interesting argument, I hadn't realized that at all. These next two weeks against the Redskins and Vikings should be good games. I'm gonna go ahead and pick them to lose on Thanksgiving (sorry bjj, that's just what my gut is telling me).

Numbers sometimes lie, wins and losses never lie.

Afraid to face the facts lol? They have a cupcake schedule, due to finishing 4-12 last year. Because of that they've had the benefit of a last place schedule.

Wins against the Browns, Bears, and Niners isn't impressive.

We've already beat the Redskins in their back yard early in the year. 46 years of watching this series, well just when you think you've seen it all between these two teams, something new happens. Most of these games are extremely whackie. I'll take the road team. Scuzzins won't be screaming "How do you like me know", in Big-D.

Yet, our only loss is a one point loss to a winning team, because of a missed field goal and extra point. Sea Chickens can't beat a crappy Arizona team and loses to the Rams and Saints, and we are suppose to be impressed? O.K., lol.

I'm just stating the obvious here. Opponents win percentage is lowest in the league. Fact.

They will always be a little over hyped because they're the Cowboys. 9 straight wins is 9 straight wins though. That's hard to do I don't care who was on the roster. Also winning in Green Bay and in Pittsburgh is nothing to dismiss. Not to mention the Ravens have a legit #1 defense and the Cowboys hung 400 yards of offense on them and had three 10+ play drives in the second half. There are maybe two other teams in the NFL that could do that.

They probably are but It's hard to criticise anything they've been able to do when the OL has just continued to dominate the way they have. They've moved up and down the field on some legit defences.

Now that we are extremely relevant again instead of mediocre, we will be getting a lot of this over the next 6 years. After all, we are AMERICA'S TEAM.

Guys don't bet against the cowboys...bet on them heavily

I have found out that god hates me and wants a cowboys super bowl win in houston...bet on them, I expect 5% of all winnings to go to my psychotherapy necessary after this happens

You are not even close to americas team

People like dak and zeke but there is no "americas team" and for damned sure it isn't yall...I would say pats or Seahawks even though I dislike both teams (sorry cactus) are closer to that

Pats because of your definition of "always on everyone's mind"

Hawks because they went from a lifelong suck fest to the legion of boom and all american boy Russell (even though they have a true scumbag of a coach)

no team from pacific northwest can be america's team

Hey, don't forget we supposedly have the refs as our 13th man in Seattle. The league has our back.

That's okay, we prefer it that way.

You have to actually be liked by the vast majority, to be considered AMERICA'S TEAM.

If things are truly returning to form even that's a bad idea. Back in the day when the Cowboys were winning consistently they almost never covered. Vegas would post some stupid number because there was always stupid Cowboys money being wagered. Only time they finally started covering was in the late 80's.

Were are loved by the vast majority, and not just in Texas. Huge fan base everywhere, all over the country. It's been that way since the 70's. Its just the way it is, can't change it or do anything about it. Its all set in stone, :lol. The sleeping giant has risen again. And once again, We are always on everyone's mind whether loved or hated.

And the hookers to take care of the refs,
