Could the Cowboys end up with a 11-5 record? If they do will that win the NFC East? Maybe even a first round bye. That means they will have to go 7 and 2 the rest of the season. What are your thoughts on this? I say if they cut down on the penalties they have a good shot. The Colts and Giants best 2 teams they have left on their schedule. Everybody woories about divisional games, but a better overall record comes first. With all that said, the Cowboys will still have to bring their A game every week or they will lose.

They have to at least split the series with the Giants, I can see them both being 11-5 or 10-6.

We haven't won two road games straight in more than a few years, what makes you think we can do it again? We may have both a top 5 offense and a top 10 def, but we have not reached the point where we can rock the NFL as it stands. Hell we might not even be able to win the division yet.


Give it some more time.

We have four games left against teams that currently have 1 or 2 wins. Win all four of those, then 3 out of the other 5 and we are 11-5.

Really though right now I'm in the "just take 'em one at a time and enjoy the ride" mode.

I said cut down on the penalties and bring their A game each week. This was just a question. I do think its possible, but didn't say it was in the bag. Just wanted to get yall thinking.

if romo plays like he did last night for the rest of the season, I say that you all will probably go 10-6 :ralph:

I don't think we will be blaming the QB for future loses like we did for earlier ones, when we lose. We will not win all the remaining games, with a inexperienced QB and inconsistent OL, and non pass rushing D.

But we can win enough to go 10-6 or 11-5...we are a better team with Romo playing. I would not be surprised with 11-5.....

We must beat the Gmen in NJ to win the division,,,,IF we do, then watch out.

Well I would agree with you if Deadslow was still the QB. This is not the same team that has marched out there with a boot anchor as a QB.

NO sir this team is starting to get a swagger and the spark is that young kid who just has it whatever IT is I have faith we can make the playoffs this year.

How far we go well that is another day (I think we can capture a wild card berth now)

Yes I have hope once again and I have a feeling we can win any game now.

If he plays the rest of the season like he did last night... we go undefeated... either way... Romo will prob win more games(in 10 starts) than the skins do all season

because i know im right and i will not be banned . if i leave whos gonna keep the homers in check . i just try to restore a lil reality around here . i looooooovvvvvvvveeeeee this team but we have some glaring holes that have yet to be filled since parcells has been here . if we get rid of parcells ,and we could shore up the o-line without retreads and get a pass rusher a good olb and a safety this off season i might start to believe in this squad . until then i have my doubts .

This is my mindset. Romo played great, it's hard not to like what we saw. But I'm not pretending to expect this same type of play for 10 straight games. I need to see some consistency before I predict a 8 out of 10 finish.

I'd love to see it happen though.

i stayed up half the night last night thinking of different scenarios. i thought that in order for us to win the nfc east we would probably have to finish 11-5, which as previously stated we would have to go 7-2 the rest of the way. right now there are probably ten teams in the nfc that have a realistic shot at getting in the playoffs.

those being

New York
Dallas
Philadelphia
Atlanta
New Orleans
St. Louis
Carolina
Seattle
Minnesota
Chicago

sneaking in as a wild card will be tough. the only way we are guaranteed a playoff spot is by winning the division and in my opinion we would have to finish at least 11-5.

Now....with that said i don't know why i stayed awake half the night thinking of that because deep inside i know we are just one more bad loss from being back where we were this time last week.

Put very simply....We gotta take it one game at a time.

What makes me think we can do it again is that we're playing the Commanders.

I want to know why the team has been playing with a boot anchor! What the heck are they doing wearing boots anyways? No wonder they look so sluggish,,, I recommend they at least put some cleats on those boots and lose the anchor altogether!!!:p:

If we get to 10-6 I will be very happy. 11-5, EXTATIC!

I think the way NY has played, sitting there at 5-2, we need to get a few in a row before we talk about dethrowning them. They are currently the best team in the division.

True we gotta take it one step at a time. Imagine how devastating a loss to the 'skins would be. Back right where we started. We really gotta step up here. If we truly are a better team then we better put the 'skins away.
