How serious of a chance do you give the Cowboys in the NFC East?
We’re a pretty good ways away from the disaster that was the 2024 season. The Dallas Cowboys have changed a significant amount from the time they wrapped up the season-finale loss to the Washington Commanders on January 5th, 2025.
For one, they have a brand new head coach. Brian Schottenheimer replaced Mike McCarthy, and while it wasn’t a popular choice at first, Schotty has grown on the fanbase. His energy, his culture-building, and roster-building have all received good marks.
The Cowboys had a much more active offseason than normal, and they actually brought in a significant player from the outside in wide receiver George Pickens. The draft was considered a success by most pundits and the fanbase is rebounding a bit from the letdown that was last season.
Now comes the but part. But… they haven’t played any games yet. Offseason optimism is an ever-present symptom in most fanbases, but many times the offseason optimism doesn’t match the in-season product.
Can the Cowboys make it back to the playoffs in 2025? The easiest way to get there is by winning the NFC East, but the Philadelphia Eagles and the aforementioned Commanders both made the NFC Championship game last year.
So the question today is, where do you think the Cowboys will end up in the NFC East? Are the lowly New York Giants a challenge? Can the team make a real run at the division crown?
