We are fortunate to have a big lead in the division....gives us time to get healthy....imagine hitting the last few games and then the playoffs with Gallup, Lawrence, Gregory, Tyron, Collins in shape and Gallimore, Urban etc.....if we can avoid other injuries, we have the luxury to wait on these guys for another month......and then GATA!

I know fans would be upset with the late season decline but if we go 5-4 at worse to close it out over these injuries' but get back the list of starters right before the playoffs, well our record would say 11-6 but we would be closer to the 6-0 run team we had to start with which makes us more of threat in the playoffs..

got to have good outlook..can we go 5-4 , sure we should..

i know this place would be in mood for 9 weeks and hard to deal with on the daily, but id say that it would be acceptable to finish 11-6 and be the 4th seed at worse.

They need to win enough games to grab at least the 3 seed.

The 4 needs to beat Rams/Cards at home, then most likely two of GB/TB/West winner on road just to get to the SB.

Impossible? No. Unlikely? Yeah. Very much so.

I personally would have a tough time calling things a success if they simply get in and maybe win division round at home and get smoked on the road the following week.

That was Garrett peak level, and just getting back to that isn't victory just because last year was a disaster by comparison.

By next season we will be in our third year toward what MM was brought here for with no progress. He can't call making the playoffs a success when he was brought here to get us past that.

Sucks that the NFC is tough this year but it's also a weak division.

They need to win games. If they can't stay healthy while doing so, then oh well....but trying to rest players thinking they can back into the four seed isn't likely to get them where I'm looking to go.

I agree. It’s just the getting in part.

True, while I'd like to be healthy now and winning every game what's most important is to be healthy in December and playing our best football. If we can do that I'm confident that we can win even if we have to go on the road in the playoffs.

Go Cowboys!!!

The rooks should get better game by game as well.
