There’s no sugarcoating a loss to Nick Siriani on Sunday NF.

It would undo Dak mvp talk , it would validate the notion we can’t step it up vs the big boys and it would destroy our fragile faith in Mike McCarthy.

Ontop of a loss - we’re staring directly at matchups vs Buffalo vs Detroit vs Miami.

This sucker has only just begun folks - the season is about to get hotter than your mother’s cast iron skillet.

This coming off a five alarm fire of a game vs a pretender in Seattle.

Are we up for it ? Do we land Shaq Leonard ?
Can we survive MM’s bizarre clock mgmt moves ? Kicking xp’s when he should go for two ? Passing up lead changing FG’s for 4th and 3 gambles ?
Can we survive our OL run block game that employs a Landry era OL coach?
Can our safeties survive ?

The entire future of this franchise will become crystal clear in 6 weeks - MM , DQ , Dak extension.
Nothing is set in stone.

Hotter than your Mother’s skillet on a Sunday morning.

A loss really just makes the final 4 weeks of the season pretty underwhelming. They have a 3 game lead currently over the next wild card team so the Cowboys are pretty much penciled in to the 5 seed with a loss to Philly. Same situation last season when the Cowboys pretty much didnt show up in games against the Titans & Commanders then tried to flip the switch come playoff time.

Don’t sugar coat a loss of this magnitude.

Ridiculous. There is not a great chance we win the division even if we win and add to that the fact that SF, not Philly, has established themselves as the team to beat. A win would be great and a nice confidence builder if we face them in the playoffs, but to say a loss would send us spiraling is silly and comes of like a drama queen type comment

Sunday is pivotal as far as winning the division goes but not as far as the season goes. And Dak winning MVP isn’t the main goal. And even winning Sunday it’s still a long shot that we win the division with our remaining schedule compared to Philly’s.

Eh call it what you want but I don't care about MVP talk and media narratives, I care about the standings and how you can set yourself up for the playoffs. A loss means the seed is the most likely scenario for the Cowboys. A win means the seed is the most likely scenario for the Cowboys, with a 25% or so chance at winning the division.

I don't think so. The Cowboys have not lost 2 games in a row since November 2021. This team has been very resilient over the last 2 years. A loss to the Eagles might light a fire under them for their next game.
