I know it is a bad prediction after the loss yesterday, but I didn't think Dallas would beat the Giants so maybe I'm not as down as most. They will come up just short against the Saints in a game similar to yesterday, but I can see hard fought victories against Washington and Philly to close out the season. I also don't see any games being decided by more than one score, so it could be a very stressful December.

So you didn't think they could beat a Giants team that was playing below average and had lost 5 out of that last 7 games but you think we will beat the Chargers and Eagles?

Yep, the Giants just have had our number lately. The only time we beat them in the last five games now was when our backs were against the wall last season and theirs were not. Same reason why I think we will beat the Chargers this weekend.

Wasn't it the Ravens and Eagles that embarrassed us last year?

I really don't think it has to do with one team.

I think it has to do with the Cowboys not being able to match the intensity of the opposing team in December, which is the part of the season that resembles Playoff Football the most.

I just think that this team will rise up to the occasion this year. I also think that people will be talking a different tune about the Giants when they beat the Eagles next weekend.

I hear ya.

I still remain optimistic but I am not sure Wade Phillips can rally the troops.

I was just listening to The Ticket and I kind of agree with Craig Miller when he stated that we could very easily lose every game this point out.

I don't see that happening but this schedule is tough.

Maybe you missed the game a few weeks ago where we beat the Eagles on the road. Why on earth do you think we can't do it at home?

Best case scenario is 10-6, and Wade is toast IMO.

It's December and this is the portion of the Regular Season which is most like the Playoffs and we haven't won a Playoff Game is quite a while.

I am still optimistic but this is an extremely difficult schedule and it also isn't taking into consideration that we may suffer a major injury.

Well, I sure hope this happens. In any case, it's nice to hear someone positive for once. You would think this team is 4-8 instead of the other way around.

Except for New Olreans, I'm not sure any team wins more than 3 of our last 5 games. At this point, I'd take two wins in 4 and run with it.

We do seem to get the Giants very best every time we face them....no excuses.

Charges going to destroy us.

Who are the Charges? Some sort of electron or proton thing, positive or negative?

It's not a bad prediction. That's pretty much what I had us going after the Thanksgiving game. Our only loss will be to the Saints. Just to prove that I am pretty good with my predictions I said we would be 8-3 going into the Giants game after the loss to Denver that left us at 2-2:D

This week is going to be worse than I thought it would be. And I thought it would suck hard.
