we will finish 11-6. I said before the year began either 10 or 11. Im sticking to it. The only question is, who we gonna beat? Will it be Miami? I think not. Detroit? That will be tough. They are in a must win every week . So its up in the air. Anything can happen. We dont need to worry about the Eagles. Just TCB. Th eagles are doing a fine job of setting things up for us. Its on us.

We're losing 1 or none ---- you were close on your prediction but probably 12-5. Probably going to beat Miami, no way we drop to the commanders.

If we lose another, it will be to Miami. I highly doubt we lose at home to Detroit. If Dallas does lose to Miami, then the Cardinals can't help us, we would need Philly to drop a game to the Giants. If we win out, any loss by Philly gives us the division.

The Cowboys are a very good team. Miami has issues with their oline.

Miami is well coached and has a lot of speed and weapons. They are one of the best running teams in the league. Mostert and Achane are 4.3 guys. Tyrek and Waddle are way too much for Dallas to cover. Add in the Tua gets rid of the ball quicker than anyone in the league and that's going to be hard to stop. They lost one their best Dline players a few weeks ago but they still seem to get pressure. They are well coached and will show up. Dallas should show up but my gawd if Dak plays bad this could get ugly.

I know what Miami is and if Dallas plays well they can win. Dallas wins most of the time.

The NFC East is like a bag of rotten apples and trying to pick out the one with the least amount of rot!

Don't trust Dak against better teams. Both of those teams are very good teams.

This doesn't make sense to me. What changes against better teams? That Dak has no one to throw to? How is that his fault? In most cases the better team wins regardless of QB. In 2010 A Mark Sanchez led Jets team knocked off both a Brady led Patriots team and a Manning led Colts team to advance to the AFC championship game. Mark Sanchez was garbage. Yet Tom Brady and Peyton Manning couldn't bridge the gap. Because the Jets were just better. Even with a trash quarterback. Teams win games, not quarterbacks.

But Dak doesn't get rid of the ball. He is a doctor Jekyll Mr Hyde QB. Now is it the play calling because that is pretty bad too.

You can't get rid of the ball when there's no one to go to. Unless you check it down. Especially if you struggle running the ball in a light box. They can just focus on making Dak throw it into coverage. My guess is whatever we were doing wasn't countering Buffalo. Because we already know Dak can throw the ball downfield.

But we have also seen Dak double clutching the ball because his WR has only a half a step on his guy. Part of the problem is they aren't running any quick timing routes. Is Dak checking out of it? Why are all these WRs running 20 yards down field on 4th and 1? It's almost like Buffalo knew all the play calls. Didnt Buffalo have a center named McGovern that played guard for Dallas.

Like I said in a different thread or post, I can't see what Dak was looking at downfield due to the way the game is broadcasted. I can only give you my best guess, and I'm seeing him struggle to get the ball out too last game. It did seem like Buffalo were all over the WRs. Dak was throwing into really tight coverage.

My best guess is preparation when games go south the way they did. It's the coaching staff's job to prepare the team for their opponent. Clearly the Bills did a better job. I remember Bill Walsh once talking about that, and he blamed himself for not properly preparing his team for a playoff game. Imagine a coach today taking that kind of blame. This was after the 36-24 loss the 13-2 49ers took to the 8-7 Vikings.
