The other three teams in the division have all gotten better in the offseason. Cowboys are way behind. Garrett will be fired by week 9. Book it.

I find it hilarious that you say the loss of DJax will really hurt the Eagles, but you say that the (Giants and) Redskins didn't improve significantly. DJax plays for the Redskins now. Lol. And let's not forget one of the Cowboys few bright spots on defense (Hatcher) now plays for the Redskins too.

Giants offseason additions: Rashad Jennings, Dominque Rodgers-Cromartie, Walter Thurmond
Giants offseason subtractions: Justin Tuck, Chris Snee, David Baas, Aaron Ross, Andre Brown

Redskins offseason additions: DeSean Jackson, Jason Hatcher, Andre Roberts
Redskins offseason subtractions: none that come to mind

Cowboys offseason additions: Jeremy Mincey, Amobi Okoye, Henry Melton, Rolando McClain LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL
Cowboys offseason subtractions: DeMarcus Ware, Jason Hatcher, Miles Austin (and don't forget Sean Lee is out for the year)

It's obvious. Blatantly obvious. That's not to say the Cowboys are guaranteed to finish in last. There are no guarantees in this league. But on paper they are easily the worst team in that division. The same could have been said for the Jets last season, and they came within a W of making the playoffs (Cowboys style ).

The additions/subtractions were really just off the top of my head, and I left all rookies and irrelevant players off of it. I may have forgotten some, so fill me in if I'm overlooking someone.

Had to revisit all of these for this moment.

I dunno, something about "softening his ribs", but whatever.

AND: What a play by Orton/Jackson! What a bunch of 'em in that drive! Bills with a ghost of a chance?

I am still baffled at the belief that the Giants, in particular, got better in the off season.

I never said "softening his ribs."

Your win just pushed us up to #4.

[rickah88]

I need 43pts out of: Haushka/Manning/CJ Anderson to win my game!
I was lucky enough to grab Andy Dalton this week off the waiver wire just in case Peyton can't go. Of course with the way Peyton is playing do I start Dalton?

Buff won't be making the playoffs now

Thumbs up if your team controls their playoff destiny.

Well, that was entertaining!

Owner Ross announced after the game that Philbin will be back next year. Not sure how I feel about that though, I thought he made some bad decisions the last couple of years. The good news though is we won't have to start over with a new coach, new OC, etc...Hopefully we'll take another step forward and finally make the playoffs.

I've already admitted that I was wrong on that many times (maybe not on this forum).

But I was not alone at all... most thought the Cowboys would struggle mightily.

Garrett definitely deserves coach of the year... because how that defense became formidable (after losing it's best two or three players) after ranking 32nd last year is beyond me. And yes, yes, yes I know Garrett is an offensive coach. Marinelli deserves the credit for the defense.

But Garrett finally committed to the run, and it worked. I'm glad they're back in the playoffs.

As for the Titans/Bucs race for the #1 pick... we can no longer get the #1 pick if both teams finish 2-14.

Had the Vikings, Ravens, and Rams won today, we would be in good position for it. Now we have to rely on the Bucs to beat the Saints, which is definitely more likely than us beating the Colts.

Just giving you a hard time. No ill feelings at all.

Hostility lol. You must have thin skin...

Don't worry the Pats will be golfing soon enough.

Like I said, had the Vikings, Ravens, and Rams won we would have an excellent shot at it.

I knew, in all likelihood, the Bucs would get it... but we had a decent shot. Just didn't get enough to go our way today.

Had to share this...Silence of the critics is the best reward! Not over yet for Dallas, still need a playoff win to make all this matter but it is nice to see them win big. Let's go Cowboys!
