They beat the best team in the NFL, lost to Washington due to a screwy play (although it never should have come down to that), pretty much dominated Tampa Bay, Arizona and Carolina. Held Steve Smith to 55 yards in that game. Overhyped? Maybe, but they sure look like the best team in the NFC to me right now.Cowboys 4-1 since Romo started.

remember aj feely went 5-1 back when mcnabb wsa lost for the season
not overhyped. They have the best RB combo this side of New Orleans. They have a QB who is finally unlocking the potential of having TO, Glenn, Crayton, and Witten. Their front seven is really gelling, even without Greg Ellis. There are some weaknesses (safeties can be beaten deep), but they are a legit SB contender.Cowboys 4-1 since Romo started.

This could be a fishing trip, but I'll take you serious I guess. First off, your choice of words about the Colts "decent?" Come on man, they were undefeated and even after that loss to the Cowboys, they're the favorite to win the SB by Vegas and many others, Dallas beat more than a decent team there.The Cowboys didn't dominate the Redskins in that flukey loss, but they certainly outplayed them. Unfortunately for them if you're a Cowboys fan, that always doesn't translate into a win. They have played well enough though under Romo's leadership to have not lost a game.The Cowboys are not overrated in their talent because they have underachieved most of the season. Their lack of discipline when committing costly turnovers at the end of the game, committing a ridiculous amount of penalties all thru the game was bound to take a turn when you have a good coach like Parcells steering the ship.With that said, I think you're going to see an absolute war vs. the Giants. The Giants could easily win this game because they know this is basically their season. They are going to put everything into this game, absolutely everything and use this as a measuring stick to see where they now stand after being on this losing streak.I think The Bears deserve the NO.1 ranking in the NFC since they've been the most consistant during the regular season and will most likely have home field advantage. When you look at the next spot, it's a tough call but I think Dallas has a slight advantage over a few other teams because they're playing good offense and defense. I would actually like to see them run the ball better when they need to but overall I don't think you can complain about much recently.If you were actually looking for a team that's overrated........you may want to look at the Seahawks. After their recent win over Green Bay, it seemed everyone woke up the next morning wanting to put them in the elite teams and practically back in the SB.Why???? They beat terrible Green Bay by 10 points at home. The week before New England went into Green Bay and beat them like 35-0.If Cutler is any good at all, Seattle will get beat this weekend to prove that Seattle is the team that is overrated.Cowboys 4-1 since Romo started.

I didnt include SD because they dont really use them as a combo. Giants vs. Dallas is debatable, I prefer JJones/MBIII because MBIII is more versatile than Jacobs, but I hear ya, I should have given the Giants a little more respect in that statement.Sig, I rarely take issue with your comments, but seriously?

Fair enough. Your point is well received, while I generally prefer a stud RB, a top combo like either NYG/Dallas is almost as good. The QB and OL were the only problems with Dallas before, Romo's mobility makes up for a lot of the line's issues. There's a very good chance that Parcells will go out on top this year.I didnt include SD because they dont really use them as a combo.

No, no one was dumb enough to think Detroit would be good this year.A lot of people drank Denny Green's kool-aid though. I didn't, but he had me almost second-guessing myself at times.As per original question, a month ago I'd have very easily said Minnesota, but at 5-6, staring at 6-10, it would be a needless argument.The only team I really don't buy as real is the Saints. Pass-happy without a defense doesn't equate to any real success. NO's D was playing well earlier, but looks horrible of late. And without at least a middle-of-the-pack D, NO with games left v.SF, @DAL, WAS, @NYG, CAR I think will struggle to break 8-8.I read a poll on ESPN.com that showed nearly 90% thought NO would make the playoffs, and I just don't see it.To their credit though, they are winning without Reggie Bush, and not because he's injured, but because he's ineffective. Everyone who thought the Saints would turn it around thought it would be Bush that was their savior, but the truth is that since that week 1 game, it's been all downhill.

If people are hyping Seattle they are doing so a little early.

Seahawk........it wasn't an attack on Seattle. And yes, people were hyping them the very next day. I don't know if you watch PTI on ESPN or Around the Horn, but one of the questions was actually is Seattle now the leading contender in the NFC to get to the SB.I was like.........what are you guys smoking. They come back from behind at home against Green Bay and win by 10. They shouldn't even be behind Green Bay. I was typing all that in and I swear that's exactly when I remember your name, and then smiled because I realized that must be your team.Anyway, it's not just who the Cowboys have beaten, you have to take into account how teams win.Yes, they beat TB. But they beat em up, they showed that they were in a completely different class. They also won IN Carolina, that is not usually an easy place to win. The game they lost in Washington still makes me sick. No way was that penalty a 15 yarder to put them into field goal range at the end of the game but I'm finally getting a full night's rest.I'm bias no doubt, but seriously I'm one of the Cowboys' biggest critics when they're not playing well. I truthfully still think they're offensive line struggles running the ball when they want to and when looking at some of the other good teams in the NFL, they're not any better than them, but about equal. So, if they're equal with them, I don't like going into games like that with no kicking game.With all that said though, they're still not overhyped because they're more talented than most teams. They have a young hard hitting defense that seems to be playing their best football of the year and it appears they have found a QB that has brought this offensive unit together. The only way the Cowboys are overrated is if somehow Tony Romo isn't the guy we've seen these last 5 weeks. If he isn't, I don't know what to say because who've I been watching?seahawk 17 said:If people are hyping Seattle they are doing so a little early.

Same...................this will be a huge game for Dallas. Of course it's a big game for NY, but I think NY is capped at how good they are going to be this year. I truthfully feel they aren't winning the SB and if they beat Dallas, it just shows that Dallas really isn't as good as maybe we thought.The reason I say this is a big game for Dallas goes beyond almost wrapping up the division. It proves to themselves that they can indeed go on the road in a must win game against a good team and do it. I'm excited to see if they can.I know the Giants will be ready and I know what's it's taken in past year's for the Cowboys to go into the Giants when both teams are playoff contenders and actually come out of there with a win. One of my favorite games was when Emmitt Smith dislocated his shoulder in NY and stayed in the game to help lift Dallas to a victory.That's the kind of atmosphere it's going to be as the Giants will be fighting for their playoff lives tomorrow.Routilla said:

The Bears' schedule is powder puff and they play in the worst division in football. Add to that their near losses to Minn and Arizona, of all people, and you have a team that isn't nearly as good as their record indicates. They will get exposed in the playoffs...again.As for the Cowboys, I agree that this weekend will go a long way in determining how good they are. If they win this one, they are the best team in the NFC right now. If they lose, well, they are just a playoff team I guess.As for the Seahawks, if they win in Denver this weekend they also must get consideration as the best in the NFC. I don't think they will though, but we'll see

Seahawks = most overhyped now. Hass and SA back, SA puts up 2 bills v. GB, and everyone's gushing about how the 'hawks are back.
Cowboys - can NOT call them overhyped until after this weekend - as of right now, they are "appropriately hyped." They have not been beating teams - they've been dominating them.
The Bears benefit and suffer from a weak division - they racked up some easy wins v. GB, Det. and Min to have momentum early in the year, and then they carried the steam throughte bye week, but it seems like they have been dragged back to earth after the Miami and NE losses, and the close games v. the Jets - maybe they are not as good as advertised early in the year since they are now struggling against AFC teams playing well.
That's the flip side of a craptacular division - 6 games versus craptacular competition gives you a poor sense of your own strength versus decent competition (as the Pats, Dolphins and Jets demonstrated). But, the Bears are definitely not "over" hyped. They foudn ways to win every game but two, and they are taking some shots right now as potentially not the best in the conference, so they can't be "over"hyped.
If anyone starts talking about the Saints like a legitimate Super Bowl contendor, I'll call that he overhyped team.
But, as it stands, no team is overhyped in the NFC.
If any team is being given too much praise while displaying too many boils, it would have to be each of the division leaders - Saints, Seahawks, Bears, and Cowboys - in that order.
No other team in the NFC besides the Panthers is a "playoff-worthy" team.

plus the inability to handle the Jets, loss to the 'phins @ home, loss to the pats, and inability to outdistance the g'ints until the 4th q., and they are looking nowhere near as diofficult to beat over the last four games as they did before their bye week.There are some definite boils on the bears, but they are not overhyped right now - I think everyone's talking about how they've fallen off, not how they are the class of the NFC

IMO the Cowboys are overrated, the last five teams they played are 28-25, 10 of those wins are from the Colts. Other than the Colt's Dallas has not beat anybody. That's all I am saying, most people are jumping on the Dalllas bandwagon...the Cowboy's up to this point are smoke and mirrors.If people are thinking that the Hawks are going to the SB because of the win against GB, then the Hawks are overrrated too.

my vote also goes to dallas ... i think the matchup between chicago and dallas will be good though ... the bears did beat NYG much easier, & grossman outperformed romo in that matchup, yet many will say dallas will easily beat the bears

The Cowboys didn't dominate the Redskins in that flukey loss, but they certainly outplayed them. Unfortunately for them if you're a Cowboys fan, that always doesn't translate into a win. They have played well enough though under Romo's leadership to have not lost a game.
The Cowboys are not overrated in their talent because they have underachieved most of the season. Their lack of discipline when committing costly turnovers at the end of the game, committing a ridiculous amount of penalties all thru the game was bound to take a turn when you have a good coach like Parcells steering the ship.
With that said, I think you're going to see an absolute war vs. the Giants. The Giants could easily win this game because they know this is basically their season. They are going to put everything into this game, absolutely everything and use this as a measuring stick to see where they now stand after being on this losing streak.
I think The Bears deserve the NO.1 ranking in the NFC since they've been the most consistant during the regular season and will most likely have home field advantage. When you look at the next spot, it's a tough call but I think Dallas has a slight advantage over a few other teams because they're playing good offense and defense. I would actually like to see them run the ball better when they need to but overall I don't think you can complain about much recently.
If you were actually looking for a team that's overrated........you may want to look at the Seahawks. After their recent win over Green Bay, it seemed everyone woke up the next morning wanting to put them in the elite teams and practically back in the SB.
Why???? They beat terrible Green Bay by 10 points at home. The week before New England went into Green Bay and beat them like 35-0.
If Cutler is any good at all, Seattle will get beat this weekend to prove that Seattle is the team that is overrated.
I like Romo, I love the Barber/Jones combo, I'm just not impressed by the teams they have played in the last 5 weeks. The Colts are more than decent, poor choice of words. I was just remarking that out of 5 games that is the only one that impressed me.
Anyway, it's not just who the Cowboys have beaten, you have to take into account how teams win.
Yes, they beat TB. But they beat em up, they showed that they were in a completely different class. They also won IN Carolina, that is not usually an easy place to win. The game they lost in Washington still makes me sick. No way was that penalty a 15 yarder to put them into field goal range at the end of the game but I'm finally getting a full night's rest.
I'm bias no doubt, but seriously I'm one of the Cowboys' biggest critics when they're not playing well. I truthfully still think they're offensive line struggles running the ball when they want to and when looking at some of the other good teams in the NFL, they're not any better than them, but about equal. So, if they're equal with them, I don't like going into games like that with no kicking game.
With all that said though, they're still not overhyped because they're more talented than most teams. They have a young hard hitting defense that seems to be playing their best football of the year and it appears they have found a QB that has brought this offensive unit together.
The only way the Cowboys are overrated is if somehow Tony Romo isn't the guy we've seen these last 5 weeks. If he isn't, I don't know what to say because who've I been watching?
they are more talented than whom? :(

I'm starting to wonder if Philly isn't the team that comes out of the NFC...recently, they and New Orleans have looked the most impressive.

Wow this was about as good as your Aaron Brooks being the best FFL QB prediction. Well done.

Time to bring back Bledsoe.
Tony Romo is showing why he was an afterthought in the draft a few years ago. He is absolutely a marginal NFL talent.
