Can we go 3-1 in each of the last 4 game segments.

I know its a common practice to break the season in 4 game groups. How do you think we will do in those games? What will it take to win the division? I think we need at least a 3-1 in one of those segments and no worse than 2-2 in the other one.

Cowboys (4-4) Commanders (2-5) Giants (2-6) Eagles (3-5)
Vikings Chargers Raiders @ Raiders
@ Saints @ Vikings Packers @ Packers
@ Giants @ Eagles Cowboys Commanders
Raiders 49ers @ Commanders Cardinals


@ Bears Giants @ Chargers Lions
Packers Chiefs Seahawks @ Vikings
@ Commanders @ Falcons @ Lions Bears
Eagles Cowboys Commanders @ Cowboys
@ Giants

I think 8-8 can win the division.

For all of the 'hype' for the G-Men, they beat Minnesota and Philly. Chip Kelly's offense has been exposed (doesn't create enough mismatches) and RG3 has been exposed as a gimmick QB.

I would prefer for them to go 10-6 and secure it beyond a doubt and just play well, but I don't think that will even be required.

Next Four:
Minnesota at home ................win
NO on road ............................loss
Giants on road ...................... win
Oakland at home .................. win ............. 3-1 but Giants will be no cake walk

Last Four:
Chicago on road .................... toss up
GB at home ............................ loss
Washington on road ............... win
Eagles at home ...................... win

8-8 or 9-7 ..either one probably wins the division

Yes, the only two matchups that really scare me are NO and GB. All the reast, we match up well with IMO.

Its hard to think that this team is going to do any better than 4-4 or 5-3 the rest of the way.

I think it's unlikely but it's possible.

I think the two sure losses are New Orleans and Greenbay. The rest of the games are games I do believe we should/could win. So 3-1 in each 4 game segment is possible. I just don't believe it's likely because I don't trust this team to do that at this point.

To go 6-2 the rest of the way will be hard with a last ranked defense and an average offense.. It's possible though if the offense can play the way they did in the Denver game and the defense continue to get turnovers.

That is exactly how I do it every year. It allows you to work in the ebb and flow of a football season. I originally had them going 2-2 in each quarter of the games. I have since backed off on that and have them 2-2 the next 4, but only 1-3 in the last 4. 7-9 for the season. If they somehow lose to the Vikes, I believe we're staring at 6-10.

See, regardless of how bad the NFC East is, they are still rivals and get sky high to play Dallas. And I cant see Dallas ending the season 3-0 on the road vs the NFC East. But this is just my opinion. And you could be right. Myself, considering they already beat Philly in Philly, I have to figure a split @ NYG and @ Wash games.

The real question is:

How many 400 yard passers will this team give up in each of the last 4 game segments?

I say 2 apiece for a total of 8 on the season.

Can we? Sure we can. Will we? That is what we've all been wondering and asking. Will we do it? When will we do it?

which is why trying to guess the W/L record by quarters of the season is a somewhat more reasonable way of attempting it. As long as a fan doesnt come across 2 "toss-up" games and mark them both down as wins.
Toss-up games are just that. Meaning you need to pencil them in as 50/50. Some fans though like to give their team the benefit of the doubt in all toss-up games and then have them split the tough games. It generally doesnt work out that way.

Yeah, I think that is because anyone who predicted a winning or losing record the past 2.5 years has been wrong. :confused:

I don't think the GB at Home is a sure fire loss. I know they are 5 -2 and will likely be the number 2 seed in the NFC, their schedule is very easy the rest of the year, two teams at 500 or better left, us and the lions (both on the road). I think we finish at 10-6, with NO and one of the NFC E teams being the other loss. But then again, its the Cowboys, we could end up 7-9 due to a missed FG, a hold, a pick, who knows. But I think we are 10-6, 4th Seed and host SF in the first round. Then on to Seattle to play them in the divisional round, where all the fun ends. Book it. :)
