The only other Cowboy game I watched this year was against the Jets. It kinda looked like the refs didn’t want the Jets to win that game 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bing Bong Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 Why does this always come up. It's a given fact the national media will assume the Cowboys are Superbowl contenders until they are mathematically eliminated. This happens.. every.. year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bills had to come from behind in a few of their wins against the same teams. And the boys lost to the Jets... 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nedboy7 Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 (edited) The effects of the flu last for weeks. Bills are looking good. But then they will have the flu for 3 weeks. That puts us at 9-6. Then we have to crush the Jets. Edited November 24, 2019 by nedboy7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigDingus Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 The media HAS pointed out their soft schedule, many, many times. Maybe you just haven't been looking at Cowboys coverage... Also, I think it's pretty obvious why they're getting a lot of attention, and it's not just "media bias." Anyway, our schedule is still easier in comparison. Second, their offense is #1 in the league, and Prescott is playing like a true franchise QB. Lastly, even though our record is better, we haven't looked nearly as good in our wins as the Cowboys have in theirs. If we played like we did last week against the Dolphins all year, we'd be getting talked about just as much (especially if Allen was playing like Dak). I know we all hate the Cowboys, but their offense has looked great most of the year. Dak has hit the point where he can put the team on his back & carry the team himself, which is a huge sign that he's cementing himself as a true franchise guy. He's thrown for 400+ yards 3 x times (and threw for 397 another game), and that will get attention regardless of who it is against. Even if he is just beating up on lower teams, it's something many other QB's including Allen have shown they can't do yet, regardless of opponent. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PUNT750 Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 4 hours ago, HOUSE said: So I ask you, have you ever seen one NFL media expert claim the Cowboys are only winning because of their easy schedule....just one? Can you say the same about the Buffalo Bills? The Dallas Cowboys are 6-4 on the season, but none of their wins have come against teams with a winning record. Only the Philadelphia Eagles are among the teams they have beaten that don't have a losing record, as they are 5-5. (Note) The Bills beat the Titans , also 5-5 https://www.newsweek.com/dallas-cowboys-battle-flu-ahead-their-biggest-game-year-chilly-new-england-1473653 It's the same as Robert Kraft never paying a fine or doing community service after his prostitution issue in Florida. The story disappeared. Jones & Kraft really run the NFL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ethan in Cleveland Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 Well they are only 6-4, so they really aren’t winning that much more than they are losing. Maybe if they were 8-2 the media might dissect them more. The narrative I see is nobody believes they are that good and Garrett is a below average coach. Almost all media has Green Bay, San Fran, and New Orleans as better teams and probably Seattle too. Can Bills beat them. Yes. But they are a matchup nightmare. Big oline, great RB and a QB that doesn’t turn the ball over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HOUSE Posted November 24, 2019 Author Share Posted November 24, 2019 Well, just so we are clear, THE COWBOYS are a bottom feeder winning games over easy opponents and don't deserve to play a prime time game against the Bills Next year the Cowboys should play Sunday games only Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ganesh Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 I think they have dominated some of those opponents...something the Bills haven't done except against the Dolphins...Even there we scored 3 FGs instead of TDs in the 1st half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Call_Of_Ktulu Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 90% of people find the crypt keeper cute and appealing. Since Jerry Jones looks just like him the Cowboys get a PR pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chaos Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 (edited) 13 hours ago, JR in Pittsburgh said: Look at the teams in the playoffs every year. While there Are a few exceptions, most playoff teams have almost all of their wins against teams with losing records. That’s how it works— just have to win the games you’re supposed to win, for the most part. There shouldn’t be shame by any team about SOS. I don't really think anyone uses strength of schedule to "shame" teams. Most people posting on fan boards are discussing the upcoming games. No reasonable person who is discussing the likelihood of winning or losing upcoming games is going to ignore strength of schedule in that discussion. The strange people to me are the ones who get offended by rational use of statistics that might suggest their favorite team has better chance of losing than winning a particular game. Or uses statistics to say my favorite team should win this upcoming game and I will be disappointed if they don't. Cowboys are 5 1/2 point underdogs to the Patriots this week (side note:Patriots have an easy schedule too) . This is a pretty clear demonstration that rational people recognize the Cowboys SOS. Most of the pre-game shows have sequence where commentators give their pick for the week. Most will pick the patriots.
