I have no doubt the Cowboys will beat the QB-less Bengals who were a bad team even with Joe Burrow.

The players want a win. The coaches need a win. 17-20 points is very likely bringing us a win that will drop our draft spot a bit unless some other teams behind us also lose.

Bengals - win
49ers - lose
Eagles - could be another win because I believe they have gone into tank mode with Hurts at QB...he’s not ready, as we will all see this weekend.
Giants - will have something to play for and a healthy QB....whew.

4 wins could drop us down between 6-8.
5 wins would most likely be a disaster!

I’ll be sick if the Eagles leap-frog us in the draft.

Don’t care what the Eagles do!

The Bengals are a bad team but so is Dallas. This week they will be missing Brown and Awuzie, on top of Diggs. A team that cannot stop the run will be putting backup CBs on the field Sunday to go along with both of their horrible safeties.

I will not be surprised if the Bengals hang 30 points on the Cowboys and win the game.

Going by our position needs, I'd rather trade back for more players than to take a player we don't need and gamble they can play in the NFL. Unless they tag Prescott, then you might want to go after a QB early.

I can see us absolutely losing out. Any player that has grit is on IR at this point. We are a team of replacement players that have embraced a losing mindset, who are taking orders from clowns, that are being propped up by a FO that is entrenched in arrogance, false optimism, and blind faith and hope.

Not a winning formula. So— cheer up. We have a great shot at picking in the top 5. If only that would bring any meaningful change to this franchise lol

Dallas needs to do everything they can to tank the last 4 games as they desperately need a Top 3 or 4 pick.

So essentially what will happen is

We beat Cincinnati, SF, Philly. Then lose to New York. Then we end up picking 8-10 and miss the playoffs

There is nothing about our defensive play that shows me that the players want a win.

Howie sucks and his most glaring weakness is drafting. Unless Lurie fires Howie or hires someone else to run their draft, then I have no concerns with with Philly drafting before Dallas.

Not sure why. They need to take care of their own business and not try to take whoever the Cowboys are going to take.

I expect the Cowboys to try and trade down so the Eagles may end up drafting before the Cowboys anyway.

This was why I fought being team tank so long.
This schedule was just an awful one to tank from.
All that said he we have sucked so bad that we have exceeded my wildest tanking imagination.
My guess is 5-11 and draft about 11.
But I'd prefer 4-12 and draft like 6th.

Don't really care much about Eagles as they need a QB/WR. My guess is they'd take the top WR and go from there which would be a free slot for us.

...I wouldn't worry about it. Dallas will be in fine spot to pick up a few gems. Only if they spot them.

The Eagles still have a very good defense. Our defense, not so good so they will probably beat us.
Eagles defense has fallen off a lot. Darius Slay has been an out and out bust and Fletcher Cox is tailing off to where he is a bad contract.
They've given up 307 points which is 3rd worst in the division ahead of only the dumpster fire that is our defense.

top 10 is nothing to sneeze at who cares we will find our guy's 5-10 we weren't getting Lawrence dont want fields , an Sewell a want not need we have to focus on defense and from what i hear if you pick 5-10 the best defenders are less of reach there.. so Parons, sutrain, wade etc etc 6-10 still gets it done..only downside not being higher is not having trading down as available..Tua and Herbert 5/6 , Donald went what 11-13th watt 26 or later dude calm down big time players at our place in all 7 rounds will bring the help we seek..

btw Eagles are better with hurts his legs alone but his willingness to take risks and get big play that wentz lost..not ready but better as Colt McCoy was for Jones and alex smith etc then getting the job late was a upgrade IMHO..

bad news is we are picking top 10 that failed seaosn..no tank needed we were bad..
