Gotta go 8-3 from here

[Nightman]

4-1 in the NFCE- lose to PHI or WAS on the road
4-2 vs SF, SEA, OAK, LAC...... lose to ATL, KC

When you put it like that, you realize how tough that's going to be.

4-2 assuming wins over Seattle and @ Oakland. Yikes.

And that's on top of assuming we can even go 4-1 in the division, which I am not sure I can buy at this point. I tend to think we'll split with both the Skins and Eagles, at best.

But that's the reality when you piss away home games like we did against the Rams and Packers.

 

[Tabascocat]

I see 6 to 7 wins at most in 2017. Unfortunately, that will not be enough to unseat Garrett. We need to be really bad while Dak stays healthy to even get that ball rolling.

Hooray for another 8-8 season, middle draft pick and a new T-Shirt in the offseason

Could you imagine this place if they lost to San Fran out there?

Oh boy.

 

[mardwin]

8-3? Lol! This team sucks on the clutch

 

[Tabascocat]

Could you imagine this place if they lost to San Fran out there?

Oh boy.

I am expecting it honestly. They still looking for a win and I don’t like us coming off two weeks rest, especially on the WC. We will see no change in gameplan, SF will adjust at halftime and we will fail to counter said adjustment.

Oh, I will be at that game, so there is that

 

[erod]

At least we have Dak who is clearly for real.

Against crappy defenses, he's terrific.

 

[erod]

How many years are we going to use this excuse?

He's a mediocre DC at this stage in his career.

I don't disagree with that.

 

[jobberone]

7-9 wins are not out of the question at all.

 

[Zman5]

We'll probably go 7-9 or 8-8 this year. There will be an excuse for Jerry to pump up JG and the staff. Something like Zeke getting suspended this year.

We'll probably be better next year and win a playoff game but lose in the next round due to another JG blunder. This will give the fans a false hope that we are back again. We'll then go 8-8 the year after. Rinse repeat.

 

[Ken]

Sure hope a tie-breaker with the Rams doesn't come into play.
Along those lines, it seems those 8 more wins may need to include at least 1 vs either Seattle or Atlanta.
That is, if we don't win the division.

Seattle is not good and we will beat them.

 

[SacramentoKing]

We’ll run the table and Jaylon Smith wins DPOY

 

[Redball Express]

Correct.

We are running a 25 year old defense against 2017 offenses.

Do the math.

6-10 at best.

Zeke is going to get suspended soon and that is the season.

 

[GORICO]

That dark cloud is darkening.

When you look at the NFC, it's likely going to take 10-6 to make the playoffs.

The Cowboys aren't going to sweep the Eagles or Commanders. They're not going to beat Atlanta or Kansas City. The Seahawks are daunting, too, because Dak struggles mightily against good defenses.

Right now, the season smells like 8-8 at best, but 7-9 or 6-10 most likely.

Last year's easy schedule gave us false hope and impressions.

mr erod--yes sir ..minimum..8-3....all we can hope for is what sometimes occurs on bye week after a teams is playing sub-par..like green bay last year...they were 4-6 and won last 6 and made it to championship game..or 2012 Washington is 3-6 heading into the bye...won final 7 and won NFC east...actually we are not as low as either of those teams heading into the bye..we are 2 games down with 11 to play...and 5 of the 6 division games yet to play...but it will take a transformation of our whole team...Sean Lee must stay healthy remainder of season...if Sean Lee had played last two games we would have won both ( no exaggeration ) and we would be 4-1 going into bye and in first place

 

[DFWJC]

We’ll run the table and Jaylon Smith wins DPOY

 

[SDCowboy]

7-9 wins are not out of the question at all.

And that will leave the team still with Garrett, and a garbage draft pick

Steelers also were 4-5 I believe after losing to us in heart breaking fashion and went into the afc championship.

Either way, I’m fine with these losses if it means we’re one step closer to getting rid of Airett

 

[Pessimist_cowboy]

Even if we make the playoffs we’re 1 and done with this coaching staff and defense. Does it really matter?

 

[Pessimist_cowboy]

We must have a solid #2 receiver , can't count on Lee for a season and Smith prob a backup at LB which should be a focus next draft.

We have 3 #2’s I think you mean a solid #1?

 

[Sarge]

Jerry, you're not young anymore. If you want to live to see another trophy you have to make changes NOW. This process we're are in is a friggin joke.
