I am sorry that you and I don't agree but when 3 of the 5 teams we have beaten are in last place in their division tells a different story. The Cowboys, Panthers and Lions are a combined 2-12. That is 2 wins and 12 losses.

yes We do disagree that playing the packers, dallas and giants 3 weeks on a row is not hard and 'easy"..

We can disagree that when you list the ENTIRE SCHEDULE IT HAS BEEN PRETTY EASY but then again you like to focus on a portion of the schedule and make it seem like it is difficult.

We are talking those 3 games which are 60% of the schedule and having them in a row , with 2 of them on the road, it is NOT an easy opening month heck YOU claimed bears would start 1-3 or 0-4 because of the "hard schedule" the bears had before the season started and expected big losses to dallas, packers and giants- now its easy?
oh ok...

Cowboys are 1-4
Packers and giants both 3-2 I think
Not easy but not exactly hard. Cowboys are not tough or good.

actually cowboys 1-3.. but at home despite their record don't think they are an 'easy win"

Both GB and Dallas were picked by many to represent the NFC in the Super Bowl. I know "experts" aren't always right, but either both these teams are vastly over rated, based on current record, or they are off to a slow start to the season. Either way, they are not playing good football. A casual fan, who knew nothing about football looked at their records, they would think that GB and Dallas weren't very good, but there's always more to the story. Whereas, GB and Dallas are the 2 NFL franchises I love to hate, they are good football teams. We played them well and beat them. I don't think they were easy wins, nor do I think the other teams that beat them thought they were push overs.
I think the easiest part of our schedule is coming up. I've enjoyed watching the Bears as they moved to 4-1 this far in the season. Yet there is no way I think they are the best team in the NFC. Every year while anticipating the season, we fans pour over the schedules and proclaim who has the hardest schedules and who has the easiest. At the end of said year, rarely do those same thoughts exist because there are always surprises in the parity driven NFL. Take the Chiefs for example. Prior to the season, Colts fans would have predicted yesterdays' game to be a sure win. At home against a franchise that has been in the basement for a number of years and Indy struggled to beat them.
Bottom line: In the NFL, there are very few easy wins. If a team doesn't come prepared to play that week, they usually leave with a "L".

Be interesting to see after next week when the vikes play these "easy" cowboys, what the Spin will be , esp if they lose to such an easy team.

I think vikes will beat them. Won't change my thoughts that they are easy. If they lose it's gonna be funny. Losing to a bad team is a devastating blow

Woodson is overreaching, no pun intended, because the rest of that D is coming apart. I didn't know Rodger had a concussion, is it serious?
