Zeke's 6 game suspension!?!?

[pwaldo]

You are way higher on the Cowboys than I am ... I don't even think they'll make the playoffs and didn't think they would even before Zeke got suspended.

I think the Giants win the NFC East and the Cowboys as a team that will merely be fighting for a wild card spot with the Eagles, Cardinals and two of the following three (whoever doesn't win the division) NFC South teams: Falcons, Bucs and Panthers ... so I had the Cowboys with a 40% shot at grabbing the #5 or #6 seed this year but failing to do so as I think the NFC South will have two teams in the playoffs and I think the Cardinals schedule is so easy they will make it as well.

For the record I haven't looked at a single team's schedule yet (probably will do if somebody makes a thread about the 2017 season) but I'd still be shocked if that game doesn't end up being important down the road for either of those two teams. I think a lot of the NFC teams will finish with similar records so every win will be very important as playoff berths go down to the wire while I think the AFC is going to be another yawn fest with little jockeying for positioning going on.

To quote Chris Berman, "That's why they play the games".

Every season has surprises. How many people thought the Rams, coming off a 2-14 season with their projected starting quarterback injured (Trent Green) and an unknown back-up (Kurt Warner) would win the Super Bowl?

theyll go 3-3 and still make the playoffs
