Blogging The Boys
The Dallas Cowboys lost on Sunday for the second time as a road favorite this season. The first instance of this phenomenon was back in Week 3 against the Chicago Bears and the most recent was Sunday against the Carolina Panthers. Caleb Williams and Bryce Young, everyone. Two of the (obviously) best quarterbacks in the NFL.
We have enough data to feel confident in our thoughts and opinions on this team. The Cowboys have a spectacular offense, but they are going to be limited at every turn by their defense. It is a great crime of football roster construction.
As you can imagine the world is rather down on the Cowboys following their latest embarrassment. So are we.
Here are our Week 7 power rankings and where the internet has the Cowboys ranked in theirs.
1 – Tampa Bay Buccaneers (LW: 4)
Baker Mayfield rules.
2 – Detroit Lions (LW: 1)
They have slipped up against the Packers right after the Parsons trade and to the Chiefs after they found themselves. They will be more than alright.
3 – Buffalo Bills (LW: 2)
I would be lying in saying that I am not getting a little worried here. But they deserve benefit of the doubt.
4 – Green Bay Packers (LW: 5)
It hasn’t felt smooth from start to finish for them in some time, but I imagine that bothers none of their fans.
5 – Philadelphia Eagles (LW: 3)
They are really reaching the end of their benefit of the doubt. Imagine if they lose to a Carson Wentz-led Vikings team this week.
6 – Indianapolis Colts (LW: 8)
Everything here is so magical and weird.
7 – Los Angeles Rams (LW: 9)
They are going to lurk all season and be a threat come playoffs time.
8 – Seattle Seahawks (LW: 11)
Same story here. My word they are weirdly awesome.
9 – Atlanta Falcons (LW: 18)
Monday night was big. They have had a strange run of big-time wins and then unpredictable losses.
10 – Kansas City Chiefs (LW: 19)
They might be back. That would stink for us all.
11 – New England Patriots (LW: 16)
They might be back atop the AFC East. Who would have thought!
12 – Chicago Bears (LW: 20)
They might be for real! That doesn’t make Week 3 any better, though.
13 – Washington Commanders (LW: 7)
We will see them on Sunday.
14 – San Francisco 49ers (LW: 6)
This is a significant drop, but I imagine they will be flying high again soon enough, especially when Brock Purdy and George Kittle are back.
15 – Los Angeles Chargers (LW: 13)
Some of those early weeks of the season feel pretty far in the rearview mirror right now.
16 – Pittsburgh Steelers (LW: 14)
A win is a win, but does anyone really buy any of this?
17 – Jacksonville Jaguars (LW: 10)
Sunday’s game in London should be fun, although most games across the pond are dreadfully...
