Alot of early ramifications tomorrow... granted at this point it is jockeying for position, but sole possession of first place is always a good thing.

Thanks Tampa! :starspin

Agreed, would not be the end of the world if we lost - however, it would really put us in the drivers seat if we win this one!
We cannot come out flat tomorrow, evrything is falling into place,we need to do our part(talking about the players here).This will really tell us where we are at, a win will be HUGE!

This is one of the biggest games of the year for us.

We absolutely have to win and hold serve in our division games at home. Lose this game, and we are sitting at 3-3 with an incredibly tough 4 game stretch on the horizon. In addition, the Giants would be sitting at 3-0 in the division and we are at 1-2. No bueno.

No team that is about to go on a 3 game road trip should ever think of themselves as being "in the driver's seat"

No, but we do have one of the softer schedules remaining in the division. It'll be tough, but others' will be tougher. I think that's what he meant.

DRIVER'S SEAT!
No doubt about it... we beat the Giants, then we will win in Carolina (they are very beatable)... at Washington is winnable (we win that there is no looking back), then AZ.

after that, we only have 2 road games the rest of the year... could shape up very nicely for us!

yep...pretty much a must win for us...we already have the road philly loss (and they beat them there)...plus we have 3 straight road games and then the Colts at home after that

the season isnt over if we lose, but we'd be in big trouble

Big game + Bledsoe at QB + Blitzing defense = DISASTER
I'm just got scared as soon as the Eagles loss was announced!

Washington is done. They have a pathetic defense, Clinton Portis has had knagging injuries all year, Brunell is washed up, and Saunders seems to have lost his 700 page playbook. Nothing more than an afterthought at this point.

Philadelphia already has 3 losses and their ending schedule is the toughest in football. 3 straight NFC East road games in December. It's hard to believe that the schedule will allow them to succeed.

New York has the toughest overall schedule in football and has a very suspect pass defense. Again, their schedule will make it very difficult for them to win, especially if we beat them tomorrow..

Dallas will play 5 of the last 7 at home, including a gimmee against Detroit on the last day of the season if we need it. Only NFC East road game beyond the first week of November is at New York. If we can get out of our 3 game road stretch at 6-3, or even 5-4, we will be in good shape the rest of the way. Tampa Bay, Detroit, and New Orleans are all home games we SHOULD win late in the season.

Same story as usual, take care of our own business and everything will be OK. Tomorrow night: take out the Gmen.

If the Cowboys sleep walk through this game, ie: penalties and turnovers, that will be a window into the soul of this team. They would have no heart.

I think we will play our best game of the year.

Has anyone thought of starting Romo instead of Bledsoe? :rolleyes:

I don't know, but Rivers, Lienart, and Young don't look bad in their first year starting. At least not as bad as Bledsoe.

I am gonna disagree with ya hear... if we lose tomorrow... that would mean we beat 3 bad teams and lost all 3 games against good teams.... that would be pretty darn close to the end of the world to me... you cant be a seesaw team that beats scrubs and expect anything at the end of the year
