Yea, I am a little concerned now about Home Field. Green Bay has Chicago and Detroit and I really dont see them losing to either of those teams.

We basically go 2-0 or we are taking a trip north for the NFC Championship game.:bang2:

Let's just first focus on the Panthers. A resounding win versus them will set us up nicely for the final game of the regular season. We just need to have a solid all around game versus them.

I don't think that we will falter this month...we did today, but like Reality said, maybe this is a good thing....maybe it will make JG rethink his gameplan....however, if Romo has another day like this and JG keeps passing, I will say that we will be lucky to make it to the Superbowl....plus, the injuries are concerning, but at least they all walked off the field for the most part. Gurode could be a killer if he tore something though.

Hopefully, we get TG back and he is 100% healthy, although I am concerned that he comes back only at 75%.

If we've lost Gurode-- wow! Words can't describe how bad that would be.

Given we are 1-1 in December and if one considers the Packer game a "December" game, then clearly it isn't.

I think the Packer game was played in November, so therefore it isn't considered a December game. Generally the first rule in determining a December game is taking into account when the game was played.

Therefore we are 1-1 in December with the 1 win being a 1 point "miracle" come-from-behind win against a poor Lions team.

Armed with this new knowledge, you may want to rethink your statement.

"December collapse" is synonymous with "defensive collapse." That's not what happened today.
That is very true. Today the Defense was the only thing to smile about at all.

Today's performance was beyond abysmal-- Who else is concerned about next week?

I think we can muster up enough to beat freaking Carolina. It is the last game of the year in Washington that has me nervous.:(

Not at all. If you look, it states December in quotations.

today REALLY surprised me...I thought with how we won last week we'd come out and take care of a mediocre Philly team that had nothing to play for...and we failed miserably, again

David

Same here. I was hoping we put the past behind us and were a new team with a new attitude this year. Also hoping that last weeks close call would've been our bad December game and wake up call. Guess not.

The next two weeks plus the playoffs will end up determining this teams fate, but right now, I don't see where we've turned the corner.

We are going to see what Phillips is made of, that's for sure. I'm concerned.
I don't like our chances at Green Bay.

I can think of a few, but they'd probably result in my being banned

our OL was really lousy once he went out

I would try to explain it to you, but I see you're Canadian. Carry on.

that is true, right after the Eagles were getting through up the middle constantly. Romo started to look like Bledsoe.

I'd be lying if I said I'm not concerned.

On the positive side, we've been crying for the Defense to show up and they did. Too bad the Offense stunk out loud.

I agree with you Hos, when our defense did its job, it was our offense that was a non-factor today.

Per Jerry Jones, he thinks the injuries suffered in the game won't prohibit anyone from playing next week against Carolina, I believe that'a a little optimistic but at least he's not worried as much...

He must have slept at a Holiday Inn last night. :D

Part of that was also that we abandoned the run and Philly just pinned their ears back and came after him. But I agree, with him in there, they couldn't touch him.
