8-7 isn't a pipedream

[CowboysFever1973]

8-7, going into the probable Eagles beat down, making the final game a must-win for a shot at the playoffs. OP is assuming we beat Tampa, the second toughest left on the schedule, to reach 8-7.

Ding ding! Thought that was obvious!! Just keep winning and get to 8-7. It’s possible!!

You are not wrong. Rush does not have an NFL arm and Lance can’t process at an NFL level. Grier can sling it.

That is exactly right , Grier can sling it.I still can not believe that they didn't keep Will Grier as the back up for Prescott last season .This guy is the best QB on this team right now and it is not close, he has a live arm and can also scramble and get a few yards.I hope he gets some playing time,this season.

Looking at the schedule, it’s quite possible that Dallas Cowboys could go on a run and end up 8-7. Maybe this is copium but at least hear me out. In the next four games, we are facing the 2-9 Giants, the 4-7 Bengals, the 3-8 Panthers and the 5-6 Buccaneers. None of these teams are unbeatable and crazier things have happened.

Win those four games and we can talk playoffs. Imagine that?

well the giants fell, and the next 2 are certainly possible.
The eagles might not need to win and hold players out so even that is possible.
The problem is TB and Wash , as they will both need a win and be desperate.
Dallas has already beat wash so that is possible win too.

TB is good team, despite their record, so that could be the one they lose.

WC first round opponent either Tampa or Seattle …

no dallas would have to play a better team than those.

Dallas would most likely play the 2nd seed. That will probably be Philly. Other possible opponent is Detroit.

For those saying after 1 win some of us are easily sucked back in and the problem fan base keeping Jerry in power, well, WTH do you think you are doing by even watching any Cowboys games???

Rooting for losses or trolling material in the case of some . I root for wins each week because I love the cowboys despite their flaws and because I know it irritates some in here

Do I think the cowboys will recover ? No

They are too deficient in too many areas but man what a story it would be

NFL is a week to week league anything can happen

Philly and Detroit will get the playoff bye week leaving the West Champ or South Champ as first round for a WC Cowboys . Seattle or Az from the West or Atlanta Tampa from the South .

Not a pipedream but a nightmare.

Only the #1 seed gets a bye. We would end up playing one of Detroit or Philly.

what would it accomplish outside of making Jethro believe he was right all along?

And by the way also mean we lose a shot at the best in the draft

 

[HabsCowboysOwn]

A couple wins over trash NFC Least teams and everything's fixed lmao, Jerry sure loves his flock of kool-aid chugging sheep.

 

[Chasing6]

washington would need to continue to collapse and we can slip in at 9 wins. if wash gets 3 more wins though it's over.

this is a putrid giants team that played us even. can they win 4 of the next 5?

Washington will continue to fall.

We still have beatable teams coming up and Philly could sit starters in week 17 if they have their seeding locked up. A number of years ago we beat them on the road in the season finale with Stephen McGee when they sat starters.

The reason we watch is to possibly see something special ,would love to see this team build some team chemistry and make a run.Dallas will be getting some defensive line starters back at some point ,we can dream .

 

[coult44]

How would 8-7 finish the season?

I’ve been trying to figure this out

Like Jerry would get that right anyhow! I think they draft lineman well on offense otherwise they are average at drafting. And when you sit out FA you can’t miss

When your in win now mode having your top picks take multiple seasons to get it and that’s a big if at this point counts as a miss in my book

I’m on team win every game you can they are more than 1 player away

Was that the 6-0 game when they played the waterboy and towel manager? Dak played that game.

That was the season finale in 2017 vs Philly.

This cas of defenders is rounding I to health but they won't all be this good forever. We're getting better quarterback play. Let's take our swings.
