Week 10- Around the NFL

Question: we hear about how amazing their line is, but isn't it just three players? There are a bunch of good teams with at LEAST 2 All-Pro/Pro Bowl type of players on their lines. It's just mind boggling that their LT, C and LG make that line as dominant as it is. We have TW (All-Pro) and Scherff (potential All-Pro) and we're not getting someone running for a billion yards. One could potentially say we have a lot more firepower on offense, yet they're going apeshit.

Blah. (

2016 strength of schedule for each team - NFL.com (http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000652553/article/2016-strength-of-schedule-for-each-team)

Could this have something to do with it, plus this was preseason, I think I saw that the cowbells have by far the weakest strength of schedule so far this season.

The only teams they have played all year with winning records at the time of playing are the three teams in the division (lost to Giants, should have lost to us and beat up the eagles) and the steelers who were .500 at the time. I think everyone needs to lay off how amazing they are when all they do is beat up on the sister may of the poor teams. They will keep winning and be the top seed in the NFC because the rest of their schedule outside the division is a joke too.

People keep yapping about Zeke like he's some sort of phenom. Truth is, any RB could run through these kinds of holes. Reminds me of the kind Emmitt Smith used to run through.

Strength of Schedule Rankings for NFL (http://www.predictionmachine.com/Strength-of-Schedule-Rankings)

They update this every week I believe, taking several things into account. The Cowboys schedule so far is 32nd out of 32. They have a few tougher games coming up, playing Baltimore, Detroit, Minnesota, and the NFC East teams again so we'll see. But so far yes their schedule has been a joke

I'm not going to knock them on strength of schedule. Ultimately we all can only play who is on our schedule. We had every opportunity to be tied going into Thanksgiving, and we didn't get it done. I will be rooting for Baltimore :puke: but the Cowboys look like a top tier team unfortunately.

Thanks that is the stat I was looking for.

I am not saying they are not a really good team nor am I knocking anyone for playing and beating who is on their schedule but to listen to national media, Zeke is the second coming of and Dak is the best QB in football and I think it is a lot more grey than that. they played a weak schedule and have a great line. I am not as impressed by the rookies as everyone else.

I wanna believe eventually they will come back to Earth, but there's a tiny part of me that is scared they are set for the next decade. Of course they would basically luck into being a dominant team for the foreseeable future.

Well, no. I mean Tyron Smith is right up their with Trent at LT.
On top of that, they have two other first rounders in Martin (RG) and Frederick (C) and then there is La'el Collins would have been a 1st round pick but for his legal issues. All three of those guys have been really damn good. So they could have a couple of All-Pros and two more Pro-Bowl guys.

Free is the RT and he is solid and a former starting LT.

Our line could get close. Scherff and Williams have All-Pro written all over them. I think Long and Moses will also be really damn good.

Both lines are young so they could be setting the tone for quite some time.
