Agreed. Can't start too big of losing streak. 2 in a row... Maybe 3... Any worse than that we are goners.
The Cowboys will be goners if they lose the next 2. After winning 6 straight a 3 game slide with losses to a 2 win Washington team and a 1 win JAX team would indicate the wheels are coming off. The second half of the season could end up the complete opposite of the first half of the season if the Cowboys can't shake off Monday Nights loss. A 3 game losing streak would put the Cowboys at 6-4 which is the same record they had in 2011 when they finished 8-8 in Garrett's first full season. After the bye the Cowboys would be facing the toughest part of their schedule and they've had a history the past few seasons of returning from bye weeks and long weeks flat. The last thing the Cowboys want is to be heading into NY to face the Giants riding a 3 game losing streak.
The Giants are going to desperately need that game and the win over them 2 weeks ago wasn't easy. After the Giants the Cowboys have Philly then have to travel to Chicago and the following week they'll be traveling to Philly to face them again. Although the Bears haven't looked good their receivers primarily Brandon Marshall has torched the Cowboys and Marty B who's had a good season would love nothing better than to have a big game against his former team. After facing Philly for the second time in 3 weeks the Cowboys will have to face Andrew Luck and the Colts. The Cowboys will finish up the season on the road in Washington and if Washington is done they'll be looking to play spoiler and ruin the Cowboys season.
In week 16 last season in Washington a 3 win Commander team almost ended the Cowboys season. Any losing streak even a 2 game slide could rattle the teams confidence and destroy all the momentum the Cowboys have built the first half of the season. The Cowboys need to win on Sunday to avoid losing a tie breaker to the Cards if it comes down to both teams battling for a wildcard at the end of the season. What has been a great season for the Cowboys could take an awful turn if they start on a losing streak before facing the toughest part of their schedule.
