I wouldn’t say the Cowboys are not for real; I’m not convinced that Romo is the great QB that he seems to have been annointed as, yet, but the Dallas offense can score (I don’t care WHO you’re playing, to score that many points, two weeks in a row, is impressive offensively). However, Dallas’s Defense can’t seem to stop the other team from scoring, either. That’s not a combination that will win championships, but it is enough to win some games; ultimately, an average or slightly better than average offense and a great defense will win 75% of the time over an outstanding offense and a dreadful defense, but the outstanding offense is going to cover the sins of the bad defense against bad teams.

We’ll have a better read on the Cowboys by early October, when they start getting into more powerful opponents, with better defenses; we won’t have a true read on the Redskins until after the game at Green Bay (unless the Redskins self destruct against the Giants or Lions).

So far, the pieces of who’s good (in the NFC) and who isn’t just don’t fit yet.

I didn’t say that they’ve won it yet, all I’m saying is that I think they’re going to….

Cowboys are not for real.

I wouldn’t say that beating the Eagles gives us the division. The Cowboys have scored the most in the league the past two weeks.
Last week wasn’t enough to judge either us or Philly, and likely neither will tonight. Jason’s still getting his feet and until we see his development around game 4 or 5, I’m withholding judgment as to how far we can go this year.

I hope you guys win. I’m high on Jason Campbell. If you win this game, you guys are the real deal in that division.

F da Eagles.
