Did The Cowboys Have A Better Season Than The Redskins?

Yes they did.

Better season or not, I'm happy with what we were able to accomplish. To go from winning only 5 games the year before, to a playoff team in one off-season is pretty good in my book. Plus, half of our team was injured at one point or another.
I think we had a better year than Dallas though, they made it one more game than we did in the playoffs, but all that got them was a later draft pick.

We also played a tougher schedule. In fact, at seasons end, the Redskins and Eagles had the two toughest schedules (as far as opponents win %). We played 9 playoff teams from 2006. We played the Bucs, the Giants twice, the Packers on the road, the Cowboys twice, and the Patriots on the road. Not to mention tough Minnesota, Buffalo, and Arizona teams. Plus we overcame a 5-7 hole, the murder of our best player, and a mountain of injuries. And it looks like Jason Garrett and Tony Sparano, the Cowgirls two best assistants, are on their way to head coaching jobs elsewhere....

Cowgirls- better record, Redskins- better season.

Dont forgetthat the Skins went form 10-6 to 5-11 in only 1 offseason as well.

[quote=mcarey032;408043]Being highly biased, I would say that we did. When you are a number one seed in the playoffs and get a bye week, you are supposed to at least make it to the NFC championship game. They clearly had not been playing good football the last month of the season, whereas the Redskins had been playing their best ball of the year in December. The real tragedy for us is that we weren't able to capitalize on the momentum in the Seattle game. Dallas made stupid undisciplined mistakes at home. There is no reason to get a false start at home ever. It's one thing for your offensive line to get one on the road, but at home? Come on. Also there were several drops by the wideouts that led to the offense's inefficency to keep drives going. As bad as the score was in the seattle game, we should have won. As close as the cowboys game was they definitely should have lost anyway. They had been lucky in a couple of close games which they squeaked out victories. Their 13-3 was highly inflated, if you ask me.[/quot


This is a total homer/hater remark. sorry, not to jump on you. If the question was who played better the last 4 weeks, then yes the Skins played better. Some of the statements : false start at home, every team in the NFL gets false starts at home, even ours (a lot!) drops happen on every team, even ours (remember seattle) Lucky a couple of games, maybe, but dont you think we were lucky in some of our 9 wins, Miami, Jets, Arizona to mention a few. Fact is, there were 13-3 with basically the same schedule as ours. we were 9-7, I dont see how anyone could say we had a better season, that is just crazy. You are judged on your record, that was says you had a better season. We were 6th best in the NFC, they were #1 in the NFC. They won the division, that alone says they had a better overall season.

Dont forgetthat the Skins went form 10-6 to 5-11 in only 1 offseason as well.

We shit the bed on Defense. If that happens again in 08' we will win 5 games also.
