Cowboys and NFC predictions

The Cowboys are very hard to predict right now. They can have good games, or bad games, they're never consistent. In week one, the Cowboys looked great, beating the defending champs, Romo out dueling Manning, the run game was there, and the defense was also great. But then in week 2 the Cowboys had a terrible loss to the Seahawks. The defense was out of it, and the offense could barely get one touchdown. The next week later, the Cowboys barely beat the Buccaneers. But the defense was amazing during the game which was a good sign. Then the loss to the Bears, where the turnovers kept happening and the offensive line was sloppy as usual. This Cowboys team does have a lot of talent, with new defensive corners, the defense looks great this year. The offense, has very good wide receiver corps, and a great tight end. Plus with Murray at running back the Cowboys may have found someone they can rely on. The main flaws of this team is at quarterback and the offensive line. Tony Romo is just not consistent, he can have great games with a lot of touchdowns or bad games with a lot of interceptions. There is no in between for him, like other greats that can come in every week and maybe throw some interceptions, but still go on and win the game. Then there is the offensive line. Every week Murray has to work very hard to get yards, because the blocks from the o-line are not there. And Romo seems to have to scramble out of the pocket almost every snap. If the Cowboys want to get the playoffs, Romo needs to become consistent and the offensive line needs to be better at blocking for the run game and Romo.

My predictions for NFC East champion, NFC playoff spots

NFC East
Philadelphia Eagles 11-5
If this team can stop the turnovers like last week the will be great.

NFC North
Green Bay Packers 11-5 (Bye in playoffs)
Yes they got off to a slow start, but the Bears and Lion also did, this team does not have to do a lot to catch back up.

NFC South
Atlanta Falcons 10-6
This team looks great at 4-0 and with the Saints and Panthers struggling, they look like clear favorites at this point.

NFC West
San Francisco 49ers 12-4 (Bye in playoffs)
With one of the best defense in the league and a young explosive offense, this team looks unstoppable.

Wild Cards
Dallas Cowboys 8-8
The Cowboys should be able to fix some of the major issues, but not enough to beat the Eagles for the NFC East championship

Chicago Bears 8-8
With the Lions, Giants, Saints, and Panthers struggling, this team that is improving greatly should be able to get a wild card

NFC Champions
San Francisco 49ers
No other team is as well rounded as this team, I won't be surprised if they win the Superbowl this year.
