The Cowboys should gain ground in the division this week

[StylisticS]

I can se NYG and Philly winning. I se no chance that WFT wins. They are struggling on both sides of the ball and GB defense is top 5.

 

[blueblood70]

The Eagles go to the Raiders..
The WFT visits Green Bay .
The G-Men get the Panthers at home.

I could see our three game lead in the division getting pushed to three and a half without our guys getting out of bed on Sunday. Could we clinch this thing by Thanksgiving?

should doesn't always become reality's, no team is an easy win and no great team so far this year imo..i mean all are beatable

gives you something to watch though..

 

[blueblood70]

I was just looking the schedule for the remaining games.
No I am a little tougher on ours and was a little more lenient on the other 3 teams. As to how many tough games are yet to be played.

I have us with possibly 7 tough games. Though I gave 2 of those against the WFT. I am including the Raiders and Saints as tough games also. at Vikings and Chiefs, then the Cards.
NYG with 8, Philly with 6, WFT with 6. Though I could say Seattle with WFT could be 7. Depends if Wilson is back or not.

It depends on how one looks as if a tough game or not. Also if home or away.
All we need to do is keep winning of course.

true i can see that but also i could see

The Cards and Us both having the playoff spots locked with no way to move up or down and both those last games wont see many starters playing..who knows..this is why you take one game at time and see how it works out.

Im also curious how Daks calf isnt an issue when most of the calf issues weve seen this year are 2-5 games missed i mean Gallup been gone 5 games..they are keeping that mri pretty secrets..

I mean dak says he will be fine but so did Mayfield and now hes out for Thursday..

im real curious about daks availability as Greir and rush are not who i want starting game 7 , i mean we do have great run game, OL, and receiving threats so maybe a very conservatives game plan but against the Vikes i say that recipe for loss..

Vikings game is going to be tough even with Dak IMO.

Cook is a very good RB, our run defense has not really faced as good of a RB yet.
Cousins is not a bad QB and he has some WR's and TE's that will get open as we leave too many wide open receivers.
Unless we get a consistent pass rush on Cousins, he could pick us apart. Our pass rush has been inconsistent IMO.

Out offense against their defense, which seems not as good as the past. I really have not looked to see how they are stat wise. But they seem to give up points against good offenses, and even mediocre ones.
Dak and our offense should put up another 35 points. But can the defense give up less than 35 points.

However without Dak. This is where the OL and Moore need to be at top of their game. Can't make any mistakes. And MM needs to be more conservative as well.
Without that offensive firepower, I don't think we would win.

I know this is why Daks calf is big issue..if this was an afc team no issues but nfc games are far more important and this is against a team who look very much like we do..

 

[J12B]

I know its WFT but we actually want the Packers to lose.

I was thinking that as well.

We have such a strong lead in the East it's already time to start rooting for a #1 seed for that 1st round playoff bye.

 

[jazzcat22]

The only aspect of this game is because it is an NFC opponent. For conference tie breakers. Which is 4th on the list.

However, this is not a common opponent game. Which that is the tie breaker before conference records. So a loss does not go against that. It is basically losing to an AFC team.
As it is unusual for a tie breaker coming down to the NFC records. But it has happened.

So yes, it is important, but just wanted to point out where it stands as to tie breaker rules. I used to think it was before common opponents, but it is not.

Who cares? The NFC East was wrapped up 3 weeks ago.

 

[Aulac]

Dalton didn't

He is not starting QB level anymore.

 

[Aulac]

No get with the program. It’ll start with Prescott

That has never been the case though. Not throughout Dak's career.

 

[Aulac]

That’s ridiculous. We’re actually better on the road . And explain how Prescott struggled against the Giants. It was the exact same game we did against the patriots. Imagine when we become smooth towards November and December.

He threw a pick and had multiple dropped pick. We didn't dominate them like how the Rams did.

 

[Aulac]

CHANG YOUR TV it does not work...or its you...either way get help with whichever the problem is.

The only problem is being too honest with one own assessment.

 

[Aulac]

Including Andy Dalton?

He not a starting calibur QB anymore. He a backup at best.
Do you think this offense would look any different under Kirk Cousins?

 

[Bullflop]

We'll be playing the Vikings after the bye . . . that's likely to be a challenge, in itself. Here's hoping we're up to the task!

 

[Doomsday101]

He threw a pick and had multiple dropped pick. We didn't dominate them like how the Rams did.

and other top QB have passes that could have been picked off but didn't. I'm not going to degrade other QB in the league to prop up Dak but frankly Dak is playing every bit as good as any QB in the NFL right now.

 

[Whirlwin]

That has never been the case though. Not throughout Dak's career.

That’s not true at all. His second season with Elliot in suspension. Three season losing the center the tone and starting wide receiver. No I don’t buy it. It’s a team game

 

[Whirlwin]

Every week. Every team. Does something different. I don’t care what the Rams did. They could play again and be totally different outcome. Will clean the mess up by November . What’s important is the improvement every week. But that’s not even the point. We’re talking a different conversation That was quoted. He is actually better on the road

Dude obviously didn't watch either game.. The only reason the Rams "dominated" the Giants more than the Cowboys did is that the Rams were smart enough to keep Daniel Jones in the game and were rewarded 4 turnovers for it. the Cowboys had more total yards, more points, more rushing yards, more passing yards and frankly the only reason they didn't score 50 was because they had to two early turnovers. The Cowboys beat the snot out of Giants.. Anybody that didn't see it wasn't watching.

I mean RonnieT24 literally pointed it out and he one of the biggest Dak's homer here.

But it wasn't a road game, it was a home game. There were Cowboys fans in LA than Chargers fans. Chargers had multiple false start in Sofi.
