News: Can The Cowboys Run The East With Only Seven Wins?

[SilverStarCowboy]

stop - when will it end.

hopefully - with the 1st overall

 

[Risen Star]

Haha. What planet do these people live on?

The team hasn't won a single game without Romo this year.......of course they're going to win 4 of the next 5 in his absence.

I think a better questions would be, "can the Cowboys get a 4th win this year?"

Being that Jerry Jones is our owner I disagree. There is so much wrong with this team and season that goes beyond Romo being out. Going to the playoffs at 7-9 and getting killed is a "we fight" and "are on the right track" situation for Jones to trot out and it gets us no closer to fixing our issues.

The Cowboys problems are clearly deeper than Romo being out but Jerry wouldn't see making the playoffs at 7-9 as being on the right track not after coming off a 12-4 season. No losing season regardless if it earns you a playoff berth can be looked at as being on the right track. If the Cowboys were to somehow miraculously make the playoffs at 7-9 it would be the result of playing in a poor division not the team being on the right track.

I also hope they don't trade players to the other team.

See how the war/football analogy works?

Nah but they trade prisoners of war so it works

Can The Cowboys Run The East With Only Seven Wins?

The Dallas Cowboys sit comfortably at 3-8 just waiting to strike. On Monday night, they will be traveling to Washington to face a Commanders team that has won three of their last five games, which by NFC East standards - is red hot! For Dallas, just winning a football game would be satisfying right now, but a win against the first place Commanders (that just doesn't sound right) would give Cowboys fans a newfound sense of hope that they haven't felt since we all talked about it this time last week. But hey, if nobody wants to pick up the shovel and throw dirt on this Cowboys team, then they might as well climb on out and take a look around.

Should the New York Giants lose to the New York Jets on Sunday, the narrative for the Monday night's big NFC East matchup will be how the winner would take a much needed step towards making a run at the division. And this is a likely scenario. The Jets are currently in a dog fight for a wild card spot in the AFC. Four teams are tied at 6-5 with the Jets being one of those teams. This is a big game for them. They just came off a big win against Miami where Ryan Fitzpatrick threw for four touchdowns and the Jets defense only allowed 12 total rushing yards. This is a very balanced Jets team who is in the top 10 in points for offense and defense. The Giants are going to have their hands full.

The Philadelphia Eagles, who are non-winners of three straight games, are playing the New England Patriots. That's all I'm going to say about that...

My math is a little rusty, so let me go slow here...........

We have 3 wins

Question is will 7 wins be enough to win the East.

7-3 = 4 according to my UT education.

Ergo, we are going to win 4 out of the remaining 5 games with Cassel at QB? At Green Bay, at Buffalo, the Jets, and Skins twice?

4 out of 5?

 

[Michael88Irvin]

What makes anyone believe that the Cowboys will get to 7 wins? I don't think they'll be favored in any of the remaining 5 games.

After we beat the Skins and GB, we will be favored against the Jets, Bills and Skins at home

I say 5 out of 5... Have already had an extensive thread about this topic:

Get on board the bandwagon now... there will be no room after we pound the Skins on Monday Night.

Laughter is a good thing... will be doing the some of that after the game.

We have about as much chance beating the Skins Monday as my Longhorns have of beating Baylor tomorrow.

Sorry my friend... you will be eating those words come Monday night

If I have to eat crow, don't put any salt on it........my doc says my blood pressure is a little high.

I told him I was a Cowboy and Longhorn fan and he laughed and handed me a bottle of pills.

Will provide sodium free Crow, and a double serving... as we are not only going to beat the Skins, but we are going to run the table

And what happens if the Cowboys lose to both?

 

[KJJ]

Wouldn't bank on the Cowboys winning both those games and they're a bad home team. They're 1-5 at home this season and all 4 of their losses last season came at home.

 

[Junglist]

Lol @ people still using the fact the rest of the division is bad as hope. There are 3 teams in our division better than us.

 

[Michael88Irvin]

And what happens if the Cowboys lose to both?

Our bet kicks in most likely, what was it again?
And when they win both, will you give some props - supporting the team for the final run (even though it means losing the bet)

 

[Michael88Irvin]

Not even close... there are 3 teams in our division with a SLIGHTLY better record who did not lose their top 5 in the NFL QB and their top 5 in the NFL receiver in the first 2 weeks of the season. We are the better team, and will prove that Monday night, and by winning the division.

 

[Michael88Irvin]

Both the Skins and GB games are away

Of course, in fact, I'd like to lose the bet, I just don't think I will.

 

[KJJ]

Both the Skins and GB games are away

The Cowboys have only beaten Green Bay at Lambeau once and Washington is currently playing the best football of any team in the NFC East. Plus the Cowboys are 0-7 without Romo this season. Pretty bold to be giving them both those games when they've won only 3 games all season.

So, all three have a better record. That means they're better than us. We are not going to win 4 out of 5; put the bong down.
