CFZ Cowboys upcoming road games after bye will tell us more about where this season could be headed

So if we end up being 11-3, we need a new QB?

There's only two real tests in those six games, and Prescott gets the Giants at home, after the Cowboys having already beat them this year.
So the only real test in the next six games is Minnesota, and if Dak can't steer the Cowboys to a victory in that gamé- one of the six- he will show that he's still Dak.
After all, we were assured by his fans that we would have beaten Philly at home, despite all of the penalties and bad calls if Dak had been playing. So we can -and should- demand that the Cowboys go undefeated the rest of the way, coast through the playoffs, and celebrate a Super Bowl win in February.

Looking ahead we have two tough road games following at Green Bay and Minnesota which should tell us more about where this team is. Packers are unexpectedly struggling at 3-5 while Rodgers is healthy. Last time they had a losing season without their future HOF QB missing games it cost McCarthy his job.

So I don’t look for GB and Rodgers to fold up the tent just yet. And we are a prime opponent for them to get well on.

Actually, GB's game today versus the Lions would be the "prime opponent for them to get well on".
But Detroit may be reallyed amped up to get a home win after giving away one last week to Miami.
One team on a four game losing streak, the other winless in its last 5 games.

Being either 3-6 or 4-5, the Packers will be in desperation mode when the Cowboys head up there next Sunday...and that will be the first game at Lambeau in nearly a month (Oct 16th loss to the Jets).
