The Eagles are making me uncomfortable

Look, if the Cowboys can't control their own destiny, they don't need to win the division or be in the playoffs.
Do you really want a Cowboys team that backs into the playoffs?
Or let me rephrase that. Would you really have confidence in a Cowboys team that backs into the playoffs?
The Cowboys control their own destiny, as it should be.
I don't care about the Eagles as much as I care about the Cowboys.
If the Cowboys handle their business, it doesn't matter what the Eagles do. We're in the cat bird seat.

Thank you! That is all I am talking about.

The problem is I don't think we can go 3-1 which is why I was depending on the eagles to lose 1 game. That Bears game on Monday Night just doesn't look like a win but hopefully I;m wrong. I would feel better if the Lions can win on Sunday so that it won't be a lot of pressure to win on Monday Night

if we can't go 3 and 1 and that is what it takes it is what it is.

Cool, YOU go watch the eagles. I will watch the next game against the Bears.

Im gonna go ahead and watch both because I enjoy watching NFL football.

Good luck with your gametime preparations. I hope you lead the Cowboys to victory and dance on the star!

You are too young for all that. :D

I actually don't watch Cowboys games live any more. I record them and then wait on the results. I then watch the recording. My heart is much healthier for it and I am far less stressed. Even the losses don't hit as hard. Started doing it late last season.

Anyway, Dallas has to play well to determine their future. If they play well they can beat the teams left on their schedule. If they play poorly, they can lose the 4 remaining games or lose enough to miss the playoffs. it is truly up to them whether they make it to the post season and make it on a high note.

Or I can have a sports psychologist watch all the cowboys games with me until the end of the season. He can give me counseling during the game so i won't have a panic attack LOL

He just played awful when played them, missed wide wide wide open receivers all throughout that game. We were very lucky... We really need to transplant or offensive system and have a legit coach there top help us. I thinkwith our line better than in the past our players deserve that (particularly our defensive players)

See, that is what I am talking about! The Lions could win on Sunday, but that is not going to relieve any pressure on the Cowboys winning on Monday Night. The Lions could win and the Cowboys could still lose.

What another team does, does have meaning, I agree with you. But, never should someone seek help from another team if they want to be a playoff caliber team. Screw other teams.

But if the Cowboys still lose they are still in 1st place so what are you talking about? Of course I would still want us to win but going into the game with the eagles at 7-6 is a lot less pressure than them being 8-5 and we having to win to stay on top. Understand what I mean???

Guys, it boils down to this......................We need to win 2 of the next 3 to make sure we are still alive for the division in week 17...........this assumes Philly will go 3-0 over this stretch (I am not counting on any help).

I understand, but I don't think it's healthy to want another team to help the Cowboys get to the playoffs. The Cowboys need to play their game. If the Cowboys can win with some pressure on them, all the better. That makes the team stronger. Understand what I mean?

Just take care of our business . If it comes down to it we have them at home for the east marbles. Can't win in that situation you don't deserve the playoffs.

I'm not calling anyone a loser, but hoping others teams help you out is a losers mentality.

With the Bears, Skins, and Packers the next 3 weeks (none of these teams are above 500)..................if we cant win 2 of these, we really dont deserve to be playing for the division in week 17.

Thank you!

Detroit is going to show them the best offense they've seen since Peyton Manning and finally bring them back down to earth. I don't even care if the Eagles win or lose next week, I just want their defense to get shell shocked and have it carry over.

Detroit lost to Tampa Bay (at home no less), so I don't expect us to get any help from anyone. We will have to control our own destiny.

People keep coming back to the Dallas game w/ Foles and it's stupid. He's a 2nd year QB and you can't expect him to play perfect every single game.

He's got 19 TDs & 0 INT....the Eagles are red hot

People are delusional. He didn't even know the offense back then. He is playing lights out right now. I am glad. If we want to see Dallas step up and earn the division and earn a playoff spot and not sneak in with 8 lousy wins, then let Philly keep winning. If they keep playing this well and we win the division we will be playoff ready, if not then we don't deserve to be there.

The Cowboys just need to take care of business. They are in the driver's seat as far as the NFC East, not the Eagles.
