Blogging The Boys
Last week was a rough one. The Dallas Cowboys were boat-raced by the Chicago Bears. Then a few hours later in a transitive property manner with the New York Giants offense looking horrible, Dallas’ win over them was called into question.
On top of the on-field results, the Cowboys have lost CeeDee Lamb and Tyler Booker for the foreseeable future, and up next have a date with the star player who they traded away a month ago. He just so happens to play for the team who destroyed this franchise the last time they visited the building where this game will take place.
Needless to say the vibes are not great! We are still in September and yet it feels like the Cowboys are already slipping out of contention. Things can change quickly in the NFL so a win on Sunday (lol, I know) would serve as a magic elixir, but we will get to that as the week progresses.
For now we are going to take a look at the lay of the NFL land and where the Cowboys fall within it.
Here are our Week 4 Power Rankings and where other outlets have Dallas ranked themselves.
1 – Buffalo Bills (LW: 1)
The “team of destiny” energy is very strong here.
2 – Philadelphia Eagles (LW: 2)
It is beyond annoying that they were able to pull it out against Los Angeles. They are elite at finding a way.
3 – Los Angeles Chargers (LW: 5)
Maybe they truly are for real this time. I know those are famous last words, but they look incredible.
4 – Tampa Bay Buccaneers (LW: 6)
It is very cool how Baker Mayfield has found himself in Tampa Bay. They have flown very close to the sun in all three of their games/wins and maybe that catches up to them, but right now they look stout.
5 – Detroit Lions (LW: 8)
Monday night was supremely impressive. Their sole mission is being great at football. Respect.
6 – Green Bay Packers (LW: 3)
How bad is Sunday night going to be?
7 – San Francisco 49ers (LW: 11)
They are starting to feel scary again.
8 – Indianapolis Colts (LW: 9)
The sample size is large enough to where we need to acknowledge Daniel Jones and his Indianapolis teammates. What a fun story.
9 – Los Angeles Rams (LW: 7)
YOU BLEW IT.
10 – Washington Commanders (LW: 10)
You are supposed to beat the bad teams and if you are able to do it with your backup quarterback then you deserve even more flowers. Good for Dan Quinn.
11 – Minnesota Vikings (LW: 14)
On the same note… what a performance with a backup quarterback.
12 – Baltimore Ravens (LW: 4)
It breaks my brain to have Baltimore this low, but they just keep finding ways to throw away games. They have so much talent and it is just a matter of re-establishing trust. Oh, and winning games.
13 –...
