The last 7 game slook rough. We need to win the next two, because I can see us only going 3-4, maybe 4-3 the last seven. Maybe 10-6 and a wild card spot. If we beat the gints at their house, the maybe division title, but that is too far ahead.

I couldn't disagree more. The last 7 games will offer the Cowboys a huge advantage. There are only two road games, and one of them (New York) comes after the ten day layoff after Thanksgiving.

I think the Cowboys should be significant favorites in 4 of the 5 home games, and I would like to think they could at least split on the road.

I think 5-2 is likely, and I would be surprised if the Cowboys finished worse than 4-3 over that stretch.

Heading into the season, it seemed pretty clear that the first nine games, featuring only 3 home games, would be critical to deciding the outcome of the season. I'm pleased that a 6-3 result over that stretch of games seems fairly likely.

Careful who you go calling a troll. Nothing in my post that you quoted was said with malice. Go ahead and take the Skins for granted, though. Parcells won't.

You are a troll. Sorry

All of a sudden, we could win all three road games and be 6-3. Gotta take it to the Skins and not under estimate them, but I am not afraid of Arizona.

That win last night made the playoffs a possibility again.

Romo has made me cautiously optimistic. Hope he can keep it up.
I don't know what this win means or what it can lead to.

I'm just glad that the season didn't end last night. Had Romo played poorly and had the Cowboys lost, the outlook now would be quite bleak. I'm just glad that things aren't bleak right now.

The odds of us winning three straight on the road are not too good, plus we still have to play the Colts,Bucs,Falcons,Saints as well as the Eagles and Giants again. Our win over the Panthers has alerted everyone not to take us lightly again.

I understand your point, but I don't think anyone EVER takes the Cowboys lightly. Even in our 1-15 days, opponents treated "Dallas week" like the Super Bowl. Games are rarely easy for us because of this. I just hope the Cowboys realize that they must bring their "A" game every week and I do think they're quite capable of going 3-0 on this road trip.

Arizona has packed it in. I'd be shocked if we lost there. Then again, Dallas in town usually means "super-human effort." The Skins are a different animal.

I don't see the next two road games a problem. Beating the Colts? Now thats a problem. The Bucks? easy. The Saints don't scare me either. The Eagles and Giants are going to be tough games. The Falcons will be back down to earth soon. They always are.

Yes we could win the next couple of games... I think beating Indy is possible too..

What I would like to see is for our defense to get downright nasty and aggressive... the offense will feed off the defense and visaversa

If the Cowboys bring their A game every week I don't think theres a team on the schedule that they can't beat. The offense is loaded with weapons and we finally have a spark at the qb spot. Defense has been shutting teams down. There are alot of crybabies when it comes to our defense but the reality is, teams are scoring on us due to offensive mistakes moreso than bad defensive play. The talent is there its just about execution.

I know that this schedule will show us just what we have in these cowboys. Theres a tough road trip followed by an assortment of some of the NFL's top teams. If the team suddenly gels, eliminates the mistakes and goes on a season ending streak ( like last yrs skins ) they could be a killer on the loose.

The odds of winning three in a row on the road are significantly improved once the toughest game in is the bag.

I'd lay 4:1 odds that the Cowboys will win the next two games.
