no we don't. season done. don't risk them

Guess you won't need to post anymore then in 2015. I'm mad too but this isn't over. We had luck on our side (turnovers, injuries) last year but this one has taken an extremely hard left turn.

It won't be this bad for the whole season unless we are going to set all time turnover records. Mean regression can be a monkey's uncle. Just ask my Mets who looked like the walking dead at a similar time in the season.

That was inevitable really. We didn't give ourselves a fighting chance when we had to rely on captain 0-12 we didn't give ourselves a chance using the wrong RB.

Let's hope Eagles lose tonight against the 5-0 Panthers.

Our next 3 without Romo are against Seahawks, Eagles and Bucs. The only one there is no excuse to lose is against the Bucs, but even then the Bucs are probably better than they've been in the past.

Giants next 3 weeks are against a Saints team that's 3-1 in their last 4, against the Bucs, and against the Patriots.

Eagles next 3 weeks (after tonight) are a BYE, against us, and against the Dolphins.

Commanders next 3 weeks are a BYE, against the Patriots, and against the Saints.

Giants are 4-3, Eagles are 3-3, Redkins are 3-4 and we're 2-4.

I'm not worried about the Commanders at all. They're probably gonna lose their next 2 and they have to face us twice with Romo and Dez. The Commanders are an afterthought.

It comes down to the Giants and Eagles being our biggest threats. Much like today, we have the opportunity to take a 2-0 head-to-head lead against the Eagles in 2 weeks. But much like today, we'll likely lose. There's really no gauging the Eagles. They can lose their next 3 (Panthers, us, Dolphins) or win all 3. Let's hope they at least drop 1. It would be great to beat them in 2 weeks.

Giants are still due for a BYE after Romo returns so it gives us a chance to get within a half game. And they play the Patriots so let's hope it's an automatic loss like it is for most teams. Unfortunately, the only team in the past 15 years to have the Patriots' number is the Giants.

All in all, I don't see Giants or Eagles having more than 6 wins when Romo returns. Hopefully they don't have more than 5. We really need to win at least 1 in the next 3. Going 0-7 without Romo will be very hard to overcome. I'd love a win against Philly. I'd be happy with one against the Bucs.

The Bucs game is definitely winnable, but I really worry about the mentality of this team if we go on a 6 game losing streak. We really need our defense to step up and get some turnovers and win one of these games against the Seahawks or Eagles. I don't really see it happening against the Seahawks, so I think the Eagles game is our last ditch chance to save the season.

If Philly Loses tonight. AND if sumhow dallas finds a way to win next weekend .

NY 5-3 (Beat Saints)
DAL 3-4 (Beating Seahawks)
PHI 3-4 (with Tonights loss, @bye)
WAS 3-4 (bye)

NYG could run away with this division. they get saints and bucs after today. Patriots after that

The ATL game was winnable, the NO game was winnable, the NY game was winnable, I even heard on here that the NE game was winnable, and somehow the Cowboys have lost every one of these winnable games.

Realistically every game is "winnable". We have as much of a chance on the next 3 as we did the last 3.

Except New England, because yeah.

I hear you...it sucks. Tampa is the worst team we're going to face without Romo though. Wish that game had come earlier.

I was thinking the same thing, but was afraid to bring it up because I am sure there will be some piling on.
Honestly, I doubt Dez is ready next week. I think we will be 2-5, and then 2-6. Is 2-6 enough to say to Romo and Dez....get healthy but you arent getting on the field til next training camp.

I know there arent any guarantees, but I would much rather end the season 3-13 while seeing what we have in young players, rather than being 7-9. 7-9 or 8-8, with the exception of very few times in NFL history, is no man's land in the NFL...no playoffs and not a super high draft pick.

We have to see what the division looks like in three weeks. If Ny and Philly keep winning (which implies that we lose to Philly in a couple of weeks) and we lose the next three, I could see the possibility of holding Tony out. I don't think they will, but they sure won't rush him back.

I'll always root for this team but I'm also being a realist. That's fine that other teams are losing in the division but what has anyone seen that makes them think this team can win without Romo? I just don't see it

Hahah! Win without Romo? I think Garrett feels you right about now.

The Giants stink.

They were gift wrapped 2 massive injuries and moronic play. And barely won
