In A State of Flux: Can The Cowboys Still Win The NFC East?

Joseph Ciringione

After their unexpected victory at NFC East last season, the Dallas Cowboys are generating buzz of a Super Bowl appearance this year. The “Americas Team” faced underwhelming expectations in 2014 but eventually proved their critics wrong by going 12-4 and winning the NFC East, a surprising feat since their last win in 2009.

Now, many fans are expecting great things from the Cowboys this season.

While I am a huge fan of the team, I believe the Cowboys are still in a stage of transition, I must admit. Despite losing their last four games, however, the playoffs is still a reality for them. The Cowboys debuted strong, beating the New York Giants and the Philadelphia Eagles at 27–26 and 20–10, respectively.

And let’s not forget; the Cowboys still have Tony Romo, who had had a huge impact on their 2014 victory. This year won’t be different from that approach, but I feel like they are still coping after losing DeMarco Murray as part of their supposed roster. Moreover, Greg Hardy and Randy Gregory are still on the team, opening up opportunities for the Cowboys on the defensive side of the field.

Back to reality, the Giants are currently seated on top of the NFC East, but only leading by a point. The Washington Redskins and Eagles are still there only behind one victory, followed by the Cowboys.

The division has always been inconsistent as records speak for themselves. If the division continues to struggle with stronger wins from one team, this gives the Cowboys more time to get healthier and get closer to putting the team on top.
