I think we know a lot. About this game. We just can’t do a lot about the game we’re not in the position. That’s what makes it we don’t know anything.

The problem is we have no consequences or accountability. Someone might "know a lot"...but that doesn't mean success. Most of the time it's hindsight couch coaching.

Let me give you an example....and not that I "know a lot". I truly believe,,,,and highlights bear witness...that zeke has kept Dak healthy. Through blocking, lotta carries (taking the pressure off), and a nice valve dump off. Watch Dak highlights and see.

Now zeke is having his "off year"..including some pitiful blocking....and Dak is injured. (And Andy, for that matter!) Co-incidence? Maybe, maybe not.

Some are SO sure we should never have drafted zeke...but some lower round RB. Muh...maybe that does make more sense. But...What if that player couldn't carry a big load in 2016 and offer great protection. Would Dak be who he is? Injured?

Yes...that was a GREAT o-line wasn't it? Agreed.

But still...you can SUGGEST a lower round RB would have been just fine based on just RB performances. But the universe doesn't work exactly that way.

And WE...have no accountability for all this knowledge you say "we" have (not me, hahah!) . We just act like it would have assuredly been better.

The same thought- Cowboys finishing 8-8- crossed my mind last night.

But I was sleepy from my allergy medication. This morning I woke up and remembered the 4th quarter on Thanksgiving and wondered how they can avoid a 3-13 record instead.

You never know. I hope they do. A lot of the talking heads are saying 6 wins could take the division.

After the year this team has had, winning the division is quite the accomplishment.
Like being the tallest midget.

We will win out, go 8-8 and win the division. :popcorn:

I know they played horrible last game, but with no practice, dealing with the tragic loss of a coach, which happened in front of the team. That is a lot to overcome. Then losing 2 more starting OL on top of that.

However, with almost 2 weeks of rest, time to heal dealing with the loss, and time refocus, knowing the division is with reach and a soft schedule.

at Ravens, as they have not looked good, this could be a winnable upset game.
at Bengals, and with a back up QB, starting RB out, this too is winnable.
SF at home, though thy looked good against the Rams, and may be getting a few players back, but still possible win.
Eagles at home, and Wentz, no need to comment further.
at Giants, it could be winner is in, loser is out. And we know Garrett's record for win and in games. :muttley:

Ready for the playoffs? :flagwave:

OK, tear it apart. :D
Stranger things have happened. Personally? I hope we don’t win another game and get a really high draft pick. #3 overall.

Hey all, don't take it so serious, was just having some fun. With 98% of the threads and posts being negative all season long. I though just have some fun with it.

I think we win 3 games at the most, more like 2 games, Bengals and Eagles. Finsh 5-11, pick around 8th.
But there is a chance. :laugh:
I just thought you started the holiday cheer a little early lol

I like what you are saying, but losing twice to Washington is a problem. Washington is not under Jay Gruden any more. They are under Rivera, and they are getting better as the season goes on. They will likely win the division if they continue to improve.
That being said, the Cowboys are finally playing better, and finally have a real quarterback that plays the full game, instead of waiting until the Cowboys are down 20 points and then padding his stats in garbage time.
But, the Commanders(might as well say it) beat the Cowboys straight up. It wasn't a gimmick, it was a beating.
Now the Cowboys are two games behind them, maybe three, and running out of schedule.
This season really doesn't count, anyway. Somebody will win the Super Bowl, but it's not been a normal season in any sense of the word.
Hopefully, at least next year they will start out for the first time in 5 years with a real quarterback and a real training camp.
We'll see.
lee for the win, so true bro

We won’t win out but we will probably win enough to screw up a great draft position.
