Cowboys are still firmly a third-place team in our own division

[nightrain]

I could see 4 being possible

Yea, the Commanders shocked the heck out of me today.

 

[baltcowboy]

Eagles 6-0
Giants 6-1
Cowboys 5-2

WFT 3-4


in that order.

Third place and not climbing.

What is your opinion on this?

It’s great news that the Giants and Washington won. Both teams will be playing hard against the Eagles when they play them 3 more times. The Giants might not lose a game before the come to Dallas on Thanksgiving.

Packers aren't making the playoffs this year and if your scenario did come true, we'd be massive favourites to win.

No we would not. A surging late season Aaron Rodgers who the media would sensationalize about being miraculous and heroic for leading them all the way back to win the division. Sort of like how they won the division in 2013. And Dak having to go up there and play in freezing cold single digit or sub zero temps with icy snow? No chance in heck we win up there. We couldn't even win here against them with a stacked offense in 2016 at home.

What is your opinion on this?

I'd say the Commodores are out of it.

 

[bewp7]

idk

just win and it will solve itself

i dont trip about standing in october lol even thouh the nfc east is 10x better then any one thouht it would be

 

[GRCowboy]

I'd say the Commodores are out of it.

They have the same record as Brady and Rodgers, but they play in the best division in football so yeah they're probably done

It's their fault though because they squandered 2 easy ones against Tennessee and Detroit.

Eagles 6-0
Giants 6-1
Cowboys 5-2

What is your opinion on this?

10 games over 2+ months to go in the season..and 2 of those games are against the division rivals--
Giants on Thanksgiving
Eagles on Christmas Eve

 

[JJHLH1]

I never thought the NFC East would be the strongest division in the league this season.

I like it though.

It’s old school.

The tv networks have to be happy.

 

[Verdict]

It's October and the Cowboys have a good defense.

Lets see how it plays out.

No one every won the Super Bowl in September-October.

Defense has to get better at stopping the run or we aren’t going very far.

 

[JayFord]

I dont make anything of it

The 'Ders could win the division its still early

 

[CowboysDrew]

Defense has to get better at stopping the run or we aren’t going very far.

Can't argue that.

We’ve already beaten the Giants by a TD at their place. They’re not that good and it will show at some point. However, the way the Bucs, Packers, and Rams have looked the East still might get 3 in the playoffs.

 

[Irvin88_4life]

in mid October on an unusually balmy day for Wisconsin. Temps in the 70s that day. Just like here in Grand Rapids which isn't far from Green Bay latitude wise and we're having balmy October days

Same can't be said for January

Perhaps but what wins in the playoffs in cold weather on the road..... Defense and run game.

 

[Playmaker3128]

Every giants win has had some sort of luck involved. however they've played close games and not turned the ball over. Have to give dabol a lot of credit.

On a positive, unless they go on another SB run (id never put it past them). They are going to have to pay Daniel Jones and barkly going forward.

 

[BourbonBalz]

Which likely means our first and only playoff game is in Lambeau because I don't see Kirk Cousins and the typically disappointing Vikings keeping it up all regular season

12-5 Cowboys vs 9-8 Packers and GB gets home field and Dak can't play in the cold.

The way the Packers look, they might not even make the playoffs. Minnesota is better than them.

 

[ChronicCowboy]

NFC East is fools gold. Eagles and Giants are peaking too early.

 

[Lutonio]

The Eagles and Giants still have to play each other twice. Those games alone will shake up the division without the Cowboys having to do anything. Of course the remaining two games against both of those teams are also important, but that goes without saying.

 

[GRCowboy]

The way the Packers look, they might not even make the playoffs. Minnesota is better than them.

look at 2016, Minnesota was riding high early and GB looked terrible but then they came back and MIN crumbled

Kirk Cousins is no Rodgers

What is your opinion on this?

Didn't the third place team in the NFC West go to the championship game?

 

[GRCowboy]

Didn't the third place team in the NFC West go to the championship game?

No

Arizona lost in the first round

SF and the Rams were 2nd and 1st respectively
