one of Carolina or GB. Those are the two toughest remaining teams. Not saying that a lesser opponent can't sneak up and beat the Cowboys but as I'm looking at it, 8-8 wins the division. I've looked at the Giants schedule and I think they will get to 8 wins, which means that the Cowboys can't lose to the Commanders and have to beat one of GB or Carolina. Lose to both of them and it's a wrap. Margin of error is razor thin.

We can only lose one more game and even that may be too much. We have to beat the Commanders both times. They aren't great, but they are probably better than most people here give them credit for. Its going to be really tough. They better have a hell of a game plan for Carolina. of course, if they woul dhave just won two of the seven games when Romo was out, things look a lot different today.

I think having Lee back and Rolando in the mix is HUGE for the GB game, IMO.

Carolina doesn't scare me but they're firing on all phases of the game.

I don't know why Carolina doesn't scare you, those guys are the most physical team in the league. Romo took a pounding yesterday against the Dolphins, Carolina will bring much more than what they gave us.

Carolina is due

I'm not sure, they're playing like they have a chip on their shoulder. I know the Cowboys will have to play a lot better than they did yesterday if they expect to win. Hopefully Romo got that rust out of his system, we're going to need him to be at his best.

We won't win an 8-8 tiebreaker with the Giants unless they lose to the Skins next week.

Carolina is going to be a tough game. They are extremely physical on both sides of the ball and their QB is the most physical QB in the NFL.

I give the Cowboys a 40-45% chance of winning it.

Packers are just so hard to figure right now. Aaron Rodgers threw for less than 50% completions yesterday and just seems OFF. Lacy until yesterday has looked terrible.

On the other hand, the Packers defense has more talent that I've seen them have for a decade or so. I'm going to call that game 50/50 or so.

We have to beat anyone ahead of us, were going to be lucky if we win out and take the division

They aren't in the same league, front four-wise, as the Eagles. IMO.

The way this team played yesterday, they'll lose 3 more games. I'm just looking at different scenarios.

Can you imagine Romo going 9-0 as a starter, then making a run to the Super Bowl?

Stuff of legend.

The Eagles have a great front four for sure, but their overall team is soft. They're not in Carolina's league as an overall aggressive defense or nastiness.

Carolina feels like a must win game to me, Dallas hasnt faired well at Lambo at all.

Remember the Giants aren't a very good team. They have beaten Was...Buf...SF...Dal...TB. Nobody with a wining record assuming the Pats win tonight. And it took a Pick 6 and a Specials team score to beat us at home without Romo.

They are not guaranteed to beat anyone the rest of the way. Was NYJ Mia CAR Min PHI. Their O-will struggle against the D-lines for all those teams except Washington perhaps. Minny will still be playing for the division as they end in GB. Carolina will still be playing for home field after they finally drop a game. And they don't fare well against Philly. I think the Skins game is a must for them. And Washington ain't bad at home.

We still got this.

There is no room, we need to win both. Case closed.
