The niners have the tie-breaker and detroits schedule is cake. I'm gonna be so dejected if 11-5 doesn't get it done.

Anyone else notice there were two Eli's last night? He started out throwing darts. Then just before halftime he started feeling a pressure that wasn't always there. Waiting to be sacked. Need to emulate that against Sanchez and just sweep Philly.

Also want to reaffirm how much better this board is than any other cowboys boards.

My goodness man you need to go sit down and relax.

Another 8-8 season is still possible.

Weren't you on a hiatus?

11 might not get it done but we would have a chance. At 10-6 theres no chance. I just wanna see what happens thursday. Philly is way better the the giants so lets hope the boys are ready. Commanders loss still looming and bugging me.

11 will get it done. 10-6 there's still a chance but it will be based on tiebreakers. The Cowboys get to 11 wins and they are in the playoffs.

I will be hard pressed to believe that 11-5 doesn't make the playoffs. The Niners are not very good. Detroit's offense is putrid. And I think it is even questionable if Arizona makes it to 11-5 without Carson Palmer.

The defensive line was putrid for most of the games, but the coaching staff made good adjustments in the second half to hold the Giants to 7 points in the second half.

It looked like the idea was to keep Eli in the pocket. They seemed to want to take away the front of the pocket and not allow Eli to get out of the pocket either. The problem was we didn't get any penetration, particularly from the defensive end position.

Concur completely. It is a game of match-ups, so it is more relative how teams will perform against each other. It must also be remembered that Dallas beat Foles and the Eagles with a much more suspect defense last year. It was the nexus of Lee and Hatcher that really shut down the Eagles run game. The Giants game was always going to be tough without pressure on Manning. I knew they would be much more dangerous at the Meadowlands, with Beckham Jr. more comfortable in the offense. The key was going to be the ability to penetrate a suspect o-line, but it mostly did not happen early. The Cowboys have to get this solved by next year...or that type of game they will not win, not with both Beckham and Cruz in the lineup. It will be a nightmare. Carr has an X marked on his back going forward.

From a realistic standpoint...the defense has not arrived yet...they should get better, but they will need much more than better against Rodgers, Manning and Brady if it comes to that. The NE/GB game looks like a SuperBowl preview. That's not to say that it will come to fruition because there is a lot of football left to play, but right now those two teams are tearing it up on offense.

I don't know. Foles has had alot of luck with this as well.

How many teams are going to win 11 or more games in the NFC. Arizona for sure, Green Bay probably, Philly and Dallas most likely. Detroit, San Fran and Seattle are all question marks at this point.
