Depends on how they respond, not only to Dak's injury. As if the team will rally around him and play with some fire.

Also will they rally around themselves knowing they must improve if they want to make the playoffs.
This win was big, as even with a 2-3 record, they can control it from here on out.
Beat the FB Team and Eagles will be huge in getting a foothold on this division. A win against the Cards will help do that.

For whatever reason, will we go on a roll and start faster and win games and the division with say a 10-6 record and surprise everyone ?

I think much of that depends on the defense. If people are expecting giving up over 30 points a game and we will have a winning record then good luck with that. Defense has to step up period, Dak playing or Dalton playing makes little difference in terms of defense stepping up and helping this team out.

They don't even have to play well to win like 9 of their remaining games.

The only good team left on the schedule is Baltimore.

It would be surprising if we didn't.

Not to be critical but do you think The Washington “ Football Team”will ever get a name?what a joke!

They'd better play well. That's how you win regardless of the opponent. I hope Dalton balls out as the O-line gels and the defense and special teams both figure it out. Division champs and at least 1 playoff win. I can dream, can't I?

If Andy Dalton gets time to throw and we get LVE, Lee, Gregory to stay healthy and on the field for the remainder of the season. We should be able to win a lot of our remaining games.

This defense just struggled with getting the Giants off the field on third down. That is an offense that found the endzone only three times through the first four weeks of the season -- and we had problems with that.

I mean, anything can happen but this was a bad team a month ago and injuries have only degraded it further. My only hope would be that kids pushed into action beat a pretty steep learning curve. The good news is, we seem to have interesting looking rookies and second-year guys seeing the field.

Barring something unforeseen and unexplained, this thing doesn't seem likely for any sort of "roll." Just be glad Atlanta was more than generous and the Giants are utterly incapable at this point. Oh, and there is the NFC East, which appears ready to accept a 6-win outfit as its division champion. So I guess I'm... stoked?

They can do that without playing particularly well, is the point. After GB, nobody in the NFC is particularly good.

Sure feels like a blowout is on deck for monday night.

I imagine they will somehow be 3-5 hosting the steelers.

They just need to not lose 3 or 4 in a row and December looks really manageable to go 3-1 or 4- and maybe win the division at 7-9

Teams being good does not matter its all about matchups.

Pittsburgh, baltimore, SF, Minnesota could score 50 on Dallas because Dallas can't stop the run, can not rush the passer and constantly blow coverages. Throw in the fact that they are dumb and are getting beat every week on wr reverse passes and trick plays and this team is setup for some serious blowouts ahead.

also because of this Philly, Washington, NY and Cincy .... struggling teams will all be toss up games.

Dallas doesn't have a single thing they can say...we do this well. if this team were to finish 4-12 I don't think it would be anymore surprising than 8-8.
