I think boys5xchamps summed it up the best. We'll know if they're over-rated or not when they get on the field. Personally, I don't think they're over-rated at all. This is July, so everything is speculation and based on paper. Right now the Cowboys are coming off a season where they were probably one of the top 5 teams in the game. The Patriots got worse on paper, the Colts and Chargers pretty well stayed the same, the Packers lost their best player, the Giants lost a couple or players including the team leader...and the Cowboys got at least a wee bit better. The additions of Adam Jones and Mike Jenkins improves their secondary even if they don't live up to expectations. They replaced Julius Jones with Felix Jones, which shouldn't hurt much if at all. And all the other key contributers stayed the same.

Are the Cowboys for real? I don't know, answers will come in September through January, but I see no reason to say right now that they aren't. All we have right now is what's on paper...and as far as paper goes, the Cowboys are one of the teams to beat.

Experts???? I ran a search on "2007 NFL predictions" 1st 5 hits are from infoplays.com, txreviews.com, associatedcontent.com, superioronlinesports.com, docsports.com. I like how you don't include the url for the predictions you found. Why? Because no one has heard of them. Each year, I read just about every NFL Preview magazine from Athlon, SI, Sporting News, and the online predictions made by ESPN, NFL.COM, FOX, CBSSportline, you know publications that people have actually heard. Contrarty to what you say, Dallas has not been the overwhelming pick to win the NFC, let alone the NFL. I don't really care about the prediciton you posted from no_one_has_ever_heard_of_this_website.com. The Saints had far more people picking them to go to the Super Bowl last year. The year before it was Seattle and quite a few people had St. Louis.

Look at the 1st page of hits, when you run a "2007 NFL Predictions" search on google. Other than the Mike and Mike ESPN page, have you even heard of any of those websites? One of them is even a yahoo answers page.

Also, keep dodging my question about the Vikings. They are going to be picked by many if not most to win the North. If I dig around and find some postings on one of the message boards here, or follow your example, and find some obscrue website that  no one has heard that has the Vikings to win it all, then that would mean the Viking are the "Experts" pick to at least make the playoffs and in some case go far into the playoffs and win the whole thing. So, by your argument, if the Vikings fail to make the playoffs or lost in their first game, the Vikings would be overrated chokers, right???

mcgriff... I think ur full of it and didnt expect me to look.  bc again heres what the experts say...

google search: 2007 nfl predections

  When looking at the NFC we like the Cowboys, Eagles, Bears, Saints, Seahawks, and Panthers

SUPER BOWL XLII
Dallas 28, Pittsburgh 13

In the NFC East, Bodog oddsmakers see this division as a dead heat listing the Dallas Cowboys and the Philadelphia Eagles as the favorites at <a 7/4 odds.

 In the NFC East the Cowboys are the team to beat, but the Eagles will once again be right there in the playoff

So yeah, this is the first four google hits on 2007 predictions.  I see what you mean.  In my opinion and iyes its just my opinion but with the most probowlers and no playoff wins, they are already overrated.  You ever see remember the Titans?  "You are playing selfish showoff football"  thats what i think of the cowboys.

I already provided you a list with ESPN's predictions from the past few years. Since that wasn't good enough. Here are last year's predicitions from Sports Illustrated, again a publication people on this board have heard of. Guess what???? They have Dallas losing in the Wild Card round.

twisted-one,
i know the Eagles are choke artists they are. But i didnt even bring them up. This is a thread about the Cowboys not eagles.

And at least the Eagles HAVE WON a playoff game in the last 5 years. They've even been to the Super Bowl in the last five years. And they would have won if it werent for the Patriots cheating.

The last time you went to a super bowl was 1995. 13 YEARS AGO!!!

im not saying the Cowboys are very overrated. Im just saying that they are overrated in the way that everyone always expects them to get to the Super bowl and win it.
