There are many detractors of the 2025 Dallas Cowboys with the hiring of Brian Schottenheimer as head coach, and we can add FS1's Colin Cowherd to the list.
With the Cowboys undergoing significant changes both on and off the field this offseason, it will be a new-look Dallas team, but some aren't sold.
In fact, when it comes to Cowherd and his NFC bold predictions, he has gone in hard on the Cowboys.
He expects them to get humiliated ... and often.
"Brian Schottenheimer is a one-and-done," Cowherd said. "Jerry will know by Thanksgiving he made a huge mistake. Forget the fact that Philadelphia and Washington will probably blow them out in the division twice. 'One and done' happens all the time now.
"I think Dallas is going to be humiliated on a lot of Sundays."

OK. There are a couple of things that we take issue with here.
Jerry has never fired a head coach after one season. Even Chan Gailey and Dave Campo both got multiple seasons. That's that.
Plus, the Cowboys didn't get blown out by the Commanders last season when they were ravaged by injury and had the "Blow It Up" concept in full flow, and beat them in Week 12, Dallas winning 34-26.
And then Washington needed a last-second touchdown in Week 18 against third-string scrub QB Trey Lance to win, 23-19.
As for the Eagles, last year, yes, they blew Dallas out both times, but that was with Cooper Rush. When Dak Prescott plays, he rarely gets blown out by Philadelphia.
In fact, it's really happened just once, a 37-9 loss in 2017, with a 27-13 loss in 2016, his other "biggest" loss.
Otherwise, Dak wins against the Eagles - he's got a 9-4 lifetime record against Philly - but you knew that already. ... Even if Colin doesn't.
So, the Cowboys getting blown out by both Washington and Philadelphia? There is no evidence there ... so we don't see happening, not as long as Dak is healthy.
Will Dallas get humiliated regularly in 2025? We can envision losses, but we struggle to see it. And we're not sure what Cowherd is looking at on the way to drawing this outlandish conclusion.
