Ok, so we have reached the bye. After watching this team play for the past 10 weeks, i have to say i am more than impressed. There are obviously facets of their game which need improving, but no team is perfect. In my opinion, this team, if it stays healthy, can win out the rest of the season. My reasoning. Well, i will do a little game by game analysis for you.

New York- This team, well, what can you really say, they are trash. they have no will too win. The only bright spot on that team is Beckham JR. He will be hard for our defense to handle. Eli, him and RG3 should go to the same shrink. Because he is just terrible. Their defense will not be able to stop our run game, and we roll over them in new york.

Philly- Im going to say this before the Green Bay game. They have no shot at winning in Lambeau. Rodgers is on another planet this season. Philly fans will say, well our defense is good. Its really not. Losing Ryans was huge. They havent won against a credible team "on their own" all season. I am not convinced at all. This game against green bay is going to destroy sanchez's confidence. They play us at home, on Romo's favourite day of the year. Yeah, my prediction. Our OL and Murray dominate, and we burn them with Dez on the play action repeatedly.

Chicago-This is bit harder to predict, because who knows whats going on there. I dont see their head coach lasting until our game. It becomes tricky to predict because its going to be cold, and well Romo may or may not have some back issues ;) . If they fire and sign a new coach, it may inspire, it may destroy. Typically a mid season coaching change lights a fire. So if this happens before our game, i see a hard fought loss. If they keep the same coach they have now, we will win. Their defense is horrible, and with Romo on his game, and all the time he has, I see us getting payback for last season.

Philly- Now this game, could turn out to be our only loss after the bye in my opinon. We rarely sweep Philly and vice versa. But again, if we are healthy, i dont see us losing. I really dont. Especially if Foles is back. I may be a little biased in regards to this game, because i am going to be there, and im travelling from Toronto to do so. A loss would be horrible after making that trip. I still see us again winning.

Indy- Luck is on fire this year, but hes also one of the most sacked qbs in the game. And they cant run the ball. At all. They barely ran on NY. So its a toss up if it comes down to that being the difference. I see our OL dominating them completely and murray having a 200 yard game. We win

Washington- I should just call this game redemption. By this point RG3 is hurt again, and Colt doesnt do that to us twice in the same season. Just wont happen.

Those are my thoughts. Maybe im biased maybe im a homer. But this team on its game, and healthy, should be feared by every team in this league.

I'm hoping that in week 17 Dallas is sitting their starters because we have the Division and the bye week. lol

I am sorry but 13-3 is a little unrealistic for this team...having to play 4 more divisional games...(2 with philly yet) plus the colts. I think more along the lines of 11-5. Just my brain talking that is all.

I don't think they'll win all of them, but I think they could. I also think they'll be favored in all but at Philadelphia. Maybe even that one if they can't win @GB, @Dal and at home against the Seahawks. I personally hope they'll lose all of them. If they do and Dallas wins their next 3, a Dallas win @Philly would wrap up the division.

Could it happen? Yes, Dallas is perfectly capable of beating all of the teams that remain on the schedule.

Will it happen? Doubtful, there is just too much that goes into winning each and every game in the NFL, and especially putting together long win streaks.

Frankly, I see us winning the next 4 games (NY, Philly, Chicago, Philly) and then losing the last two (Colts, Commanders). The Colts game will be a hard-fought loss, and the Commanders game will be a blowout loss due to Weeden starting at QB and our starters being out (but mainly due to Weeden). We would win the division, be 11-5, and have the #2 seed. In my mind, this is the most likely scenario.

They are 7-3 and have looked dominant at times, and with a healthy Romo I think they beat Arizona and Washington and could have gone 9-1 through the bye.

But lets not forget that without some big breaks we could have easily lost a couple, particularly St. Louis and Seattle. They could just as easily be a .500ish team right now.

13-3 is highly, highly unlikely. But I admire your optimism.

You guys are too much sometimes. Let's dig up those 9-1 by the bye threads.

Let's play one game at a time instead of day dreaming about running the tables. Enjoy the bye, take your family out, and stop the premature ejaculation threads.

I don't think we're winning out, but the team wasn't too far from 9-1 at the bye. OT in WAS and we'd very likely have won that AZ game with Romo in the lineup. You are what your record says you are, but that doesn't mean the line between 7-3 and 9-1 didn't end up being pretty close. It's like last season where we lost 5 games by 8 points. That's a handful of plays that separate a mediocre team from a really good one. Win total predictions can vary wildly and have fans on both ends of the spectrum guessing rationally.

Myself, I think 4-2 in the next 6 sounds about right. We *ought* to beat NY, CHI, and WAS. And I think we win at least one of the three tougher games. We might win more of them, but then again, we could also get another game stolen from us the way we did v. WAS.

13-3? Let's talk after the next two games. Nothing will be easy from here on out....

My prediction formula for this team:

Current Wins + Number of Games Remaining = Total Wins for the Season

My current prediction: 7 + 6 = 13

My prediction after the bye week will either be 8 + 5 = 13 or 7 + 5 = 12.

We COULD go 13-3 but we are also 1 play away (Romo gets hit. Out for the season) from going 7-9.

i don't think our o-line is going to quit mauling people if romo gets hurt.

weeden or vaughn can probably be a bus driver enough to get two or 3 wins..
