Pretty much it is going to take preventable ups for Seattle or anyone in the NFC to knock off the Cowboys. Glad we agree on that.
I don't think the "haven't allowed 100 yd rusher stat" holds weight anymore. Too many teams split carries among two or three backs. When people used to say that, it meant that the opposing teams' rushing attack was non-existent.
Not anymore.
I can name four teams off the top of my head that rushed for well over 100 yds against Dallas with two backs: NYG, Minny, GB, Lions.

Rush D is like the 5th best in the league. Also the Colts rush D last year was horrible then it stepped up in the playoffs. I guess we will have to see how it all plays out come postseason time.
The more i think about it, the more I believe that the Cowboys have to show me they can win ONE SINGLE PLAYOFF GAME for the first time in over a decade before I consider them a favorite. They've got a team full of playoff underacheivers.
Totally agree. Thats why you play the games. Same thing was said for Manning and the Colts. They had to win it all to convince everybody that they were going to do it.
Don't forget about the playoff underachieving coach. Lots to prove this year. It'll be fun to watch. Hopefully it'll take more than the Seattle ball boy to beat them this year.
The Seahawks can beat the Cowboys even if Dallas plays well. Seattle is playing very well now and hopefully that will continue.
So, are you ever going to man up and place a bet with me??
Or, are you just going to continue to run your mouth off?
With Shaun Alexander no longer being a top tier running back, there's no way the Seahawks come close to pulling off an upset over the 'Boys or the Packers at playoff time.

When the teams are actually scheduled to play each other we can make an appropriate wager. I doubt that you would pay up though.
Alexander has been hurt. He is starting to get healthy now. That is bad news for Cowboys fans.
Alexander and Morris are a top RB duo. They are actually more dangerous with the emergence of Morris and Alexander having a smaller role.
As well as best linebacking core in football.
Tatupu, Peterson, and LeRoy Hill.
I would easily take the Cowboys lb core over Seattle's.

You would be wrong too!
Boys backers have 10 more sacks, so I dont really think so.

Seattle may have more talent overall at LB, but Dallas has DeMarcus Ware. I'll go with Ware every time.
Ellis and Ware have 21.5 sacks.
The starting Seattle lb core has 13.
Ellis & Ware have been huge, but Ayodele is average at best, and Bradie James is becoming a liability at this point. Seattle may not have that weakness, but like I said, DeMarcus Ware is so damn good that I can live with Bradie James screwing up. That's why I'd personally take Dallas' LB crew over Seattle's.
Ware is such a beast in every aspect. He can get pressure on the QB, stuff the run, and he's one of the better coverage LB's in the game. In a year or two he'll definitely be the best all around LB in the game.
So what? Patrick Kerney leads the NFC in sacks with 13.5. The Seahawks lb's don't have as many sacks because they don't need to blitz as much as Dallas. Julian Peterson has 9 sacks anyway though.
Kerney and Peterson have 22.5 sacks.
Therefore, Kerney and Peterson > Ellis and Ware
The best LB in the game is Lofa Tatupu.
Of course to you he is.
I would probably take 5-10 lb's in the league over him.
Ellis missed the first 4 games
Seattle has 41 sacks. Dallas has 34 sacks. Seattle D > Dallas D.
I like how you had to change you argument.
Dallas, 8th ranked d, Seattle, 12th.
Not changing the argument at all. You were arguing that the Dallas lb corps is better because they have more sacks. I am saying that they have more sacks because they blitz more. Seattle's front four can pressure the QB without blitzes.
