Nope they are terrible always give us false hope time to hurt Jerry Jones Pocket and stopped supporting garbage until we get what we want championships and Superbowls tired of the same old talk every year

Looking at their schedule and how we have been playing it doesn’t seem possible .

But looking at the Rams last night after they had almost everyone return from injuries look like a team which can contend for the playoffs. They were 3-6 last year and finished 10-7 making playoffs .

So, should we get too discouraged if we fall below .500 Sun at SF? Im not sure , depends on whether we get most everyone back from injuries and how we play.

Just two weeks ago we went to Pittsburg and beat what is now a 5-2 on the road and the looked like total crap last week. What team is going to show up in SF.

I wouldn’t totally write us off as a playoff contender just yet. We could still back in with 9 maybe 10 wins. Hovering around .500 should keep us sniffing around.

The NFC North currently looks like could be first division in NFL history to place all their teams in the playoffs but once they begin playing each other more in division that should slip.

This team could collapse in a hurry with our tough schedule . And I could see that happening . But when I look around the NFC I’m not overly impressed once you get past Det, GB and maybe SF.
We're not going over .500 unless they fix what's wrong. How many injuries did they have when they got blown out by a crap Saints team? Besides, what good does going over .500 do us? The worst record you could have is either 8-9 or 9-8.

The false hope always comes early. The Cowboys never finish strong. Towards the end of the season, they seem to be on the decline. So the playoff results come as no surprise. It doesn't matter what your record is, if you're hot at the end, a team can make noise.

The Niners have been decimated by injury yet will still have an overwhelming talent advantage on sunday. Their OL and defense are still solid. They held Mahomes in check last week but lost. The Chiefs have the best defense in the NFL. We aren't going to offer that kind of resistance to Shanny's offense.
Dunno man, they are down their 1 and 2 wr and their rb...that's pretty tough - might not win but they aren't hanging more than 30 on us

No this is a 5 to 6 win team. We're going to lose the next four then "go on a run" for three games then lose out.

Now is the time? You should have started that 20 years ago

Schedule definitely isn’t favorable but this is the NFL. On Any Given Sunday alway applies. Shoot Browns beat Ravens yesterday. Who saw that coming?

7-10 or 8-9 are the most realistic outcomes rn. This team would need a miracle to win more than 5 more games this season.
Well, we have NY and Carolina remaining. Cinn is 3-5 and Tampa 4-4. Those are all winnable games .

And I could see us maybe splitting with Phi, maybe . And Wash lucked out against Bears. Their last place schedule isn’t impressive . Maybe a split there.

On Any Given Sunday always applies. And we will get more of our starters back on defense.
