well, I think the Min game is going to be tough, although we are coming off a bye week, so that should help.

I think KC game is another one, despite their struggles their offense is still potent. that one might end up a shoot out basketball game....obviously NO and AZ, and I think AZ is the toughest one...
so its not a soft remaining schedule outside of Giants, Atl and Philly.....

Regardless of their record - there are some good teams on that list and the Cowboys have a target on their backs now that the media is starting to pencil us in the SB.

I really think the most overrated thing in football is a teams record. Let’s take Carolina for example - they were 3-0 when we played them and now they’re 3-3. You could argue they won the 1st, 2nd, and 4th quarter vs. the boys but we flooded them in the 3rd. Yesterday’s game is an even better example. We completed dominated in the box score but the refs can really control a football game more than any other sport. We’re going to run into that several more times. I really feel like they’re on the field to create parody/an entertaining game more than anything. If that game is played at 1pm not on National TV - I guarantee we beat them by 2 or 3 TDs.

Football is a very strange sport but as long as we stay healthy and make the playoffs, we can beat any team in the league.

It does help if you are beating teams who are also seriously in a playoff hunt. So far we have beaten one team the Chargers who fit that. So it's real easy to......who have they beat? And playing in the weak East doesn't help.

The Pats suck and were one play away from taking us down, that doesn't help.

Hopefully the Chiefs get their act back and we beat them IN Kansas City, that would shut everyone up who doubts us.

We do have a bad strecth...

at KC
Raiders at home turkeyday
at Saints
at Wash
at Giants

Que in the " Dallas has a soft schedule " crowd.
It's a pretty soft schedule. FO had our future schedule 22nd heading into this week. And with our division, it's hard to imagine our future schedule coming out very strong.

But if you want to see a weak future schedule, look at the Bills.

At Vikings will be a tough game. Cook at RB, and Cousins really can be on fire at times. Not sure how their defense really is, but I think we can put up some points on them.
Could be another NE type game. As long as we stop the sloppy play, and the refs call a fair game.

Broncos and Falcons we should be fine at home.
At KC, their defense sucks, we can score. But how will their offense be, it depends if we can contain and pressure Mahomes. Will be a tough road game.
Home against Vegas, as I am not sure who they really are yet, still could be a tougher game than many may think.
At Saints, another possibly tough road game, against a tough defense not giving up a lot of points. But is that because of who they played so far, we will see.
Then 5 or the last 6 all division games. Home against the Cardinals will be very tough. They score a lot and often, will our defense be better by then.
Not really scared of any of out division rivals, but by this times teams could be different. WFT still is the one to be concerned over, as they play tough and hard. But still are not there yet.

I can see 5 games that should be wins no questions, and 2 more than should be wins if they can get the defense better. The other 4 games will see how they go.
But I feel we can play and beat any team right.

We’ve played 2 good teams so far
Bucs and Chargers
1-1
Could've won or lost both games, depending on perspective.

Dallas will be favored in possibly all remaining games, but

  • Cards game looms large but we get them in Dallas
  • KC should be entertaining
  • Even at Vikings could be tough
  • And of course…any given Sunday applies every week.

Bills are turning into the new Patriots. Six easy division games every year.

Vikes game will be hard. This is the NFL. Teams adjust. We better clean some stuff up.They are well coached.

If we beat the Vikings I'm saying we can be 14-3 if not 13-4. Leaving room for possible losses for the @Chiefs and Cards at home plus some fluky game where we take an opponent lightly we should crush.
