[jazzcat22]

At 6-1 we have a 10% of no playoffs. A win next week, cut's it to 8%

yup and i was one of the ones who didnt think we were doing anything this year. Im not saying we are a play off team, but we are working above our talent level and thats good enough in the league of parity.

So far our rookie is having as good a year as many starters have had, our rookie RB is doing far better than most would have ever dreamed. a few bad teams, a few good teams that went bad after we beat them and we took down one of the more complete teams that beat an undefeated team, and it wasnt our best game.

a weird season with hopefully a great ending.

Injuries are piling up.

This is the NFL, on any Sunday your course can change and it can change quickly.

At 6-1 we have a 90% chance at making the playoffs. A win next week increases it to 92%.

"Working above their talent level?"

How so?

would you honestly say before the start of the season, that this defense would be playing this well? This well.

So what your really saying is we have a chance to miss the playoffs.

The secondary has surprised me.

Overall I thought it could be a slightly better defense than what we saw in '14. The DL still isn't where any of us would like it to be (and may not get there). The secondary has gone off the chart in improved performance.

Where's this defense at? In some ways it's still below average. In some ways average. In some ways above average. In some ways good.

Two franchise QB's on one team.. There's really no way this team misses the playoffs at 6-1 unless both Dak AND Romo get hurt.

None of the injuries sound season ending, though, which is big. In the next month we play at least two teams with bad QBs, too. A loss or two outside the division in the next 4-6 weeks won't kill us.

This club wins the NFCE and is certainly going to the playoffs. After that, it will go a far as the Defense takes it. Not all the way...thats coming in a year or two at the most. This club is going somewhere!!

This defense has been almost as big a surprise as Prescotts play so far this year. The future looks bright...but the FO still needs to stiffen the defense up to make a serious SB run.

100 percent correct

I think this can be a SB run team this year.

If they werent playing 36 minutes per game, sure. Id have guessed the secondary would be strong and the passrush would not exist.

 

[theogt]

Me in preseason 2014: "Low expectations this year."

Me in preseason 2015: "We're going all the way!!!"

Me in preseason 2016 (after Tony goes down): "Might as forfeit the season."

Today's NFL is crazy.

Pass rush is definitely holding us back. Our highest pass rusher is ranked 36th in sacks. The Commanders have two guys in the top 10.

After pass rush, we definitely need a linebacker. If Lee goes down, I have no confidence in the remaining linebackers. Durant is an average journeyman and has played decent so far.

Agreed. 100%.
