NFC West isn't the worst division in the NFL, at least not this year. This year the NFC East is ridiculously bad. The Dallas Cowboys are leading that division with a 7-5 record, and their record makes them look better than they actually are. They've only played 4 games against teams with a winning record. And they lost to Arizona today, who are one of the dogs of the NFC West.
agreed. the cowboys are a shit team. how can anyone not see it? they haven't had a win against any team going to the playoffs

The Cowboys are the biggest media whores in the NFL. I've lived in Houston all my life and I have a profound aversion to all things Cowboy.
Even when they suck, they're prime time. The Texans are 9-3, have lost four major players to injuries this season, have the #1 defense, the best running back tandem in the NFL (Foster and Tate) and we now have a 3rd string QB! And we're still going to the playoffs...
(We've had a "soft" schedule the last 4-week stretch, but no one has a softer schedule than the Patriots, so that's always a moot point. That's football.)
And we still can't get the kind of press Dallas gets.
Cowboy trainwrecks, like yesterday's, are always fun to watch though.

Alright. Dallas really doesn't control the fact that the media wants to cover them. It is a product of all of the winning during their history. Super Bowl appearances,Super Bowl victories,Conference Championships,Conference Championship appearances,play-off victories etc..

looks like excuses to me. dallas leads the division because they have a soft schedule while the giants have to play basically every division leader in a row and the eagles and the skins suck. 7-5 in any other division is at least 2nd place and in the AFC there are numerous 7-5 teams fighting for a wildcard spot

Do you recognize the fact that the Giants and Dallas play the exact same schedule except for 2 games. Dallas played Detroit which was a loss anyway. Dallas will play Tampa Bay. Meanwhile,the Giants played New Orleans and Green Bay. That's the only difference in the two teams' schedules.
How well did the Giants do in San Fran. and in Washington against the Redskins ??

don't think thats true either. every new york jets game has been on TV here in virginia except week 2. the cowboys games were passed over numerous times this year even though they are in the same division as the "local" team the redskins. the jets haven't been to a superbowl in 40 years. the only reason why cowboys games get passes over is because in the last 15 years they have won 1 playoff game so no one cares anymore.

It's part of an overall media bias....If the Jets suck, they get the cover story on Sports I. contemplating the meaning of their suckiness.
Everybody has to bask in the shadow of the Cowboys, Jets, Giants, SF....that's just the way it is. It sucks for the rest of us. We actually have to earn attention.

what are you talking about? the jets are on tv because they went to the AFC championship game 2 years in a row and were a pre season pick to make the superbowl. i have been a jets fan since 1995 when i was 13 years old and they have been pretty hit and miss every season and never had cover stories or had every game televised.

My point was just that Dallas has played a cream puff schedule, and still managed to only be 7-5. And they haven't dominated all of these crappy teams. They beat Seattle by 10, not bad, but not "domination". The first time they played the Redskins they won by 2 points, the second time by a field goal in overtime, after the Redskins did Dallas a favor and missed their field goal that would have won the game. They beat Miami by 1 point. Not to mention Philadelphia dominating Dallas. I would mark up a bad team winning to every dog having a day, much the same way St. Louis beat New Orleans, but for a crappy team to DOMINATE Dallas the way they did is unbelievable.
Dallas isn't a playoff team. They might make it to the playoffs, but they aren't a playoff team. They have a schedule that makes them look much better than they are, and if you really believe they don't suck, then you're going to be disappointed come playoff time. But Cowboys fans have become accustomed to that in the past 10-15 years.

Um.... Dallas plays all but 2 games a year on Fox (except for nationally broadcast Sunday night, Monday night games,and NFL Network games).
The Jets play all but 2 games a year on CBS (except for nationally broadcast Sunday night, Monday night games and NFL Network games).
The Jets and Dallas can only be in competition with each other for a broadcast of a 1:00 p.m. or 4:00 p.m. (eastern time) game four times a year MAX. It's almost always less than that due to the schedule. For example,if the Jets are playing 1 of their 2 games for the year on FOX,Dallas might have their bye week or they might be playing a nationally broadcast night game and vice versa. Flex scheduling has not changed this for either team to date.
The Cowboys,most likely,are not broadcast often in your area because of the Redskins being the local team get the Fox game (or one of them if Fox has a doubleheader that given week).
Dallas almost always gets the maximum # of nationally broadcast night games (Five,I believe) and they get the best T.V. ratings for those games.
The Cowboys are 1 of the 2 most valuable franchises in professional sports and it's not because "nobody cares". People usually love them or hate them.

Dallas had Seattle easily. It was 23-6 and Seattle added a garbage time meaningless touchdown @ the end. The Giants,on the other hand,lost to Seattle @ home. Maybe that's why they're not in 1st place.

so you are saying detroit and tampa bay are in the same class as green bay and new orleans? not even close. the teams they play are the basically the same but not the SCHEDULE. the give the cowboys a few hard teams followed by the bad teams. the giants played the pats, 49'ers, eagles, saints and green bay in a row and then dallas. how many other teams basically played 5 division leaders in a row?

give it up. dallas has won 2 playoff games total in the last 15 years and to people my age (less than 30) we don't care about them unless you are a fan of them. they have been a piss poor joke of a team every year that i can remember watching football. winning 2 playoff games since 1995 is laughable for a team you keep defending as good. more than likely if they do win the division they'll not a win a playoff game this year either.
just look at 2000-now dallas has won 1 playoff game. thats garbage and no team is ever worried to play them anymore. notre dame has ever home game broadcast on an exclusive deal with NBC. does that make notre dame a good team? no. they haven't been good in a long time. UCLA has the most championships in college basketball. do you see a big media hype around UCLA now? no because for the last 30 years they haven't done anything so no one cares. glad dallas is able to hang on to their drunk, redneck, gun carrying fanbase that supports them because of what they did in the 70's and early 90's and not what they've done in the last 15 years.Quote

Give it up?? How do you explain these FACTS if "nobody cares" :
Dallas almost always gets the maximum # of nationally broadcast night games (Five,I believe) and they get the best T.V. ratings for those games.
The Cowboys are 1 of the 2 most valuable franchises in professional sports . ??
By the way,another FACT is Dallas has played in and won the most playoff games in NFL history. You say the past doesn't matter and then you bring up the past. Also,Dallas won multiple playoff games and also the Super Bowl in January,1996. No team has or will always win in the NFL.

the facts of the situation are there is a difference between playing detroit followed by miami and the rams or whatever the cowboys schedule was vs. playing basically the entire playoff field in a row. those games are harder, more draining and mentally tougher. the eagles should play basically the same teams as dallas and the giants and according to espn the eagles had the easiest schedule this year out of any team in the nfl. if you haven't notice btw detroit have fallen off the face of the world and will be lucky to get a wildcard spot
