Conventional wisdom will tell you that the defending champions should be considered the best until they lose. That said, the Pats look pretty damn good.
The real question should be...who is better, Dallas or the Patriots?
Fortunately, we'll know the answer to both of these questions in about 5 weeks.
It will be a good test to see how good the cowboys are since they havent played any decent teams yet (chicago isnt a decent team). I think the Patriots will be more than prepared for this game against Dallas (video tape jokes anyone?). However, week 9 will prove to be a tougher game for the pats IMO.
Regardless, I think the Cowboys/Patriots question is more important because that has potential to be the superbowl matchup.
Sorry, I am not sold on the Cowboys (yet).
Am I the only one that realizes that the cowboys have beaten teams with a combined
3-13 record?
Pats opponents: 4 - 12 (with 4 those loses coming against the pats, the opponents still are below .500 at 4 - 8)
k?
Its way too early in the season to use opponents record as an indicator. Dallas has scored more points through 4 games than all but 3 teams in NFL history, 2 of those teams went on to the Superbowl. They have played 2 playoff teams from last year, including the defending NFC champion. I'm not really sure what else you want to make you "sold" on them, other than beating the Patriots, which they could potentially do in two weeks.
Sure its early, but who in the NFC has looked NEAR as good so far? Seattle? No. Green Bay? Undefeated, but that won't last. Uhh....Tampa? Do I even need to bother?
