Not necessarily. We don’t face another playoff team from last year until week 11 in KC.

We have 3 home games in a row coming up.
Our schedule is much more favorable in coming weeks.

When has that mattered since leaving Texas Stadium???

Its been so long since we beat a good team that we are now counting near misses.
Yea, I was impressed with our performance. And have more confidence that I thought I would going into Chargers game.

Unfortunately moral victories for what is an average football franchise now is more commonplace than we’d probably want to admit:)

At worst, I think we are 3-3 after 6 games. And then the W’s start rolling.

Chargers and Herbert looked solid today at Washington. Justin is the real deal. A throwback drop back passer. He threads the needle. He is definitely carrying his team.

Very impressive opening to sophomore season . He performed as billed . His receiver duo is among the best in the league.

And they can play some defense. We have our hands full going to LA with our secondary . Will be tough avoiding 0-2.

They didn’t look all that great as after all it was the WFT.

Herbert was great on third downs. Teddy Bridgewater was nearly perfect on third down also. That chargers team is going to present problems for everyone they play because of those wr and that qb.

People said the same thing about Dallas and Buffalo. Every week is a new story. That’s the NFL.

I dont follow here. Are you saying Herbert, williams and allen are not a great trio?

Buffalo has no running game and they went up against the #3 pass defense today, you could tell the steelers knew they would never run the ball.. Buffalo not lining up and at least trying to run was nuts. They got away with it last year but they will not this year.

Why be so scared. We are repeatedly told that we have. Top 5 Qb in the league and should easily beat a team quarterbacked by a loser like Herbert.....we will win going away
Ya, why are they scared???
They rate Dak better than Herbert doesn't make sense?
0-2 is coming and from the looks of things, 0-3 is also a possibility.
I don't think the Bolts will have 4 TO to give us but we can always hope I guess......
We believe in our Leader Dak Prescott and his greatness will lead us to the promised land!!!!:oldcouple:

If we can’t avoid 0-2 this season is going to be another struggle. If week one is any indication the NFC East isn’t going to suck as bad as it has. It’s going to take a 9 or 10 wins to take the division and possibly more if a team emerges into a legit Super Bowl contender.

0-2 teams miss the playoffs.

That’s a pretty good insight. Can we reach that if we start 0-2?

I’m not sure. We might be looking at 2-4. And why this game might be bigger than we think.

We’d need to run off 3 straight to avoid going to Foxboro at 2-3.

0-2 means we are not going to the playoffs.

I predicted we'd start 0-2 and go on a run....BUT I am not sure we don't give the Chargers a game next week. They barely beat the WFT and their backup QB. They'll have their hands more full next week against us....
They barely beat the WFT because they played like absolute crap. The chargers had like 7-9 drops. A bogus call in the end zone. That won’t happen against us

I think we will be fine. Under Garrett, we never came out prepared in week 1. Barring dumb coaching/personnel, we did look ready to play this week. McCarthy might suck on game day, but at least we look prepared to play.

We were 5-4 under Garrett on opening day. But believe what you want.
