Having extra time to game plan for an opponent is a nice advantage when that team is not in your division. It still helps but a divisional foe will minimize that advantage and don't forget, they are at home.

True. But a big advantage is the QB controversy. They have no tape on Cassell. Another is the preparation they will need to deal with Hardy. Also the 3-2-6 look will play into their preparation as well.

And hopefully the Eagles beat them up a bit.

How can we honestly look at games at this point and say yup this is entirely winnable. Dude the saints were a gimmie game and we blew that.

A healthy D also add in the fact none of those teams are stable. We just need to get our offense working. I really want Moore and Cassel to battle for the starting gig instead of giving it to the guy JJ traded picks for.

All great points that I hope pay dividends to our Cowboys. I would love to sweep the Giants this season who have turn out to be our biggest divisional competition.

In my opinion, the season is on the line these next three games. We have to win at least two of them, especially the Giants game.

Luckily we play better on the road.

I believe this will play a factor along with the return of Gregory on the DL, as well as the potential return of Dez, along with a possible change at QB. Not to mention, Dallas is due to get off the schnide and get a W against a division rival.

Add in that the Giants will be coming off a division rival game on the road in Philly with Beckham and Randle nursing hamstring injuries.

It may but don't pencil in a W just yet...

The words "winnable" and "gimmie" are not interchangeable.
My point is that we called games like NO winnable when we thought we could win games without Romo.

We can't win without Romo. Calling games winnable when we struggle to muster 6 points is a joke

Weeden can throw that 3 yard check down any Sunday and the coaches are ready to let him

Why wait?

Fortunately for Cassel and the C'boys, the Giants have a poor secondary and will be coming off a short week after playing Philly. The timing and circumstances are just about as favorable as we might expect on the road. With a bye, we'll also have two weeks to heal and get some of our returning injured players ready to compete.

New Orleans was a winnable game. It went to overtime for goodness sakes. Kind of the definition of winnable.

The supporting cast doesn't matter without Romo...

We could have an all pro at every position and Garrett would just let the other team know what we are doing every play.
