You really should be careful putting words into others' mouths. Notice how I said should; knowing it could happen but more than likely won't.

You should be careful being so sensitive. Would you prefer "You see no losses remaining on our schedule with the Saints, Bengals, Steelers, Eagles, and Redskins x2?"

You apparently missed the question mark at the end of that sentence.

No losses remaining on our schedule with the Saints, Bengals, Steelers, Eagles, and Redskins x2?

.... therein lies the problem. how many games have we lost already that we should have won? 2? 3?

The Cowboys have CONSISTENTLY lost games they should have won for years now, and unfortunately, it doesnt seem like this season will be any different.

HOWEVER, and this is a just a feeling deep down in my gut, but I think this team will finish at 8-8, and we will see the fruition of Garrett's team building philosophy take place next season. so I am hopeful, and somewhat patient.

If we have any chance of making the postseason, this is must win.

So...

We will choke.

Either the players step up and dominate or they give up. That's the way I see it on this game. I hope the process finally kicks into gear this week.

We've seen it every year since 08. This team always has a shot, and teases us with flashes, only to ultimately fold in the end.

We'll get on a bit of a streak, get to 7-5, and then lose 3 of our last 4.

The stage has been set.

Now it is up to the Cowboys to take advantage of it. If the Cowboys handle their business, they will make the playoffs.

NY: 6-4
DAL: 4-5
WAS: 3-6
PHI: 3-6

After this, the following games fall like this:

NY: BYE, GB, WAS, NO, ATL, BAL, PHI
DAL: CLE, WAS, PHI, CIN, PIT, NO, WAS

I see 3 games that the Giants should lose.
I see 0 games that the Cowboys should lose. Maybe 1 (PIT).

This season is far from over and this division is up for grabs.

I wouldn't overlook the Saints.

You're right. They have been picking it up as of late, and their performance vs. Atlanta today was impressive.

We have no tiebreakers right now, so a wildcard is a wet dream. The only path to the playoffs is as a division winner.

We are 1 game back with 7 games to play. This thing is far from over, if we take care of business and get a little help, we can win this division.

Now if we lose to the Browns.................Blow this POS up!!!

After a quick glance, I think the winner of our division might very well be 8-8. Knowing us, we'll be 7-9 but we certainly have a legit shot. If we win the next two and get healthier (Costa, Murray, Liss and Rat fully), we certainly have a solid shot at the division. This path would be easier if Dez's fingers were in since we'd have the better record right now over the Giants as well as the automatic head to head tie-breaker. Hey, I'm just glad we still have meaningful football to watch.

Amen! But I the giants could possibly lose all those games except for Philly ... They got a tough tough sched left! I believe that Garrett's fate Gould depend on what this team can accomplish with this weak sched we have left! No excuses
