Yes, I am looking ahead. If you don't like it either don't read further or deal with it. :)

Seattle has road games against the Patriots and GB. They have to play the Eagles and a divisional rematch with the Cardinals.
Seattle will finish no better than 6-2 in the second half or 11-4-1.

Atlanta has road games in Philly, Los Angeles and Carolina. They also have to play the Cardinals, Chiefs and Saints. They will not finish better than 5-2 or 11-5.

Minny ain't going 7-1 no way no how.

12-4 wins the NFC this year at a minimum.

Finish 5-3 and beat the *Giants, win the NFC.

*Probably don't have to beat the Giants, but whatever. Unlikely NY goes 7-1 in the second half anyway. Wouldn't mind losing to the Giants again and then playing them at home in the playoffs for an epic beatdown.

Yes. Play to win every week.
Don't think a number will get you to a place in the playoffs.

Improve every week.

I think the fear factor has shifted from the Cowboys fearing another team to anyone on our schedule fear the Cowboys.

I expect time win them all
Realistically we could lose one or two but we have a good shot at winning out if we can stay healthy

I wouldn't like it if this team wins out. It kind of remind me of the 2004 Pittsburgh Steelers. They one lost was in week 2 and then won 14 straight going into the playoffs. Problem was that team was very flawed and it showed in the 2 playoff games.

I want this team to continue to stay hungry and work on their weaknesses when they show up during the regular season because winning out will make some of the players complacent.

I hope Cleveland lone victory can be against the Giants.

We need to keep winning. We have a tough 3 game stretch while the Giants play the Bengals, Bears, and Browns. We need to win at least 2 of the next 3 to keep our lead, because I think the Giants are winning all 3.

It sucks that if we get Home Field, we have to probably play a division rival in the divisional round.

True. Usually tougher in that case, not always.
No doubt, those have been the toughest game so far.

Been awhile since the Cowboys have been in the driver's seat this early.

That was Big Ben's first year.
And that was when the Patriots were cheating. I think the AFC Championship Game where they soundly defeated Pittsburgh may have been one of those games where they stole the Steelers' signals and knew everything Pittsburgh was trying to do.

I still think it's too early to talk about seeding, but I like the direction this team is going.

You can see the confidence building, and it's based on a tough-nosed offensive line, an all-around back with speed and power and a quarterback who can pass and run and who doesn't make mistakes.

Right now, teams have not shown they can consistently stop us. I don't think that's going to change down the stretch.

The Giants may win all three of those games, but none of them will be an easy out. If Carson Wentz could actually throw an accurate deep ball, the Eagles win that game easily. They blew 3 redzone opportunities and dinked and dunked their way to a 5 point loss.
