If you're upset with the Cowboys' placement at No. 24, just know that placing them even lower was considered.
Ultimately, it's tough to rank a team coming off an 8-8 season lower than this, but there are a lot of warning signs that this is going to be a very ugly year in Dallas.
The defense was bad last season, and arguably the three best players are gone. Defensive end DeMarcus Ware was cut. Defensive tackle Jason Hatcher signed with Washington. Linebacker Sean Lee is already out for the year with a torn ACL suffered in an offseason practice. You take a defense that gave up at least 30 points seven times last season, remove those three players, and it's hard to see how it doesn't get worse.

Bad defense + good offense = good game.
Sean Lee is a good linebacker, but to be a great linebacker you need to be on the field. He just can’t stay healthy.
Hopefully he’ll get over these injuries some day like Posluszny has done in Jax.
It's the start of the Brandon Weeden era!
Dallas 0 - 16. I can dream, can’t I?
There is NO other NFL Team I despise more than the “CowGirls(OK MAYBE the “Vikings”)”!
Why?...................
For the way Tom Landry was treated!
Then it’s Jerry Jones you should despise, not the team. I despise him as well, and I’m a Cowboys fan!.....................
That whole self adopted “America’s Team” bit doesn’t sit well.
and the way JJ treat Landry.
I love it when the Cowboys lose.
JJ knows how to make $$$$ but he "don't know football."
I’m also still bitter about the Drew Pearson hail mary.
That’s from way back in the 70’s. Doesn’t really apply today.................
Watching Weedeater play for Cleveland, he had a great arm but very poor instinctive skills for a qb. Also lousy mobility and a slow release. In college with an excellent surrounding cast and a simple game plan he was pretty good.
He was drafted far too high, another classic Browns bad pick.
“For the way Tom Landry was treated!” I hope they go 0-16 as long Jerry Jones owns the team. My favorite NFL eam...whoever plays the Cowboys this week!....red
He was drafted far too high, another classic Browns bad pick.
I don't disagree with a word of that. He's also terrible when any amount of pressure from the defense is applied.
I get upset if Dallas wins a pre-season game; I hate Dallas like Jews hate Hitler!
