Is this doable?

All depends on the defense. If it is starting to gel, and get the run stopping D to a decent level, DB's / LB's cover wide open guys better, then yes it is doable.

This is where Dak needs to show he can carry the team when down a player.
Zeke will be a huge loss, but if the team fails and the offense fails without one player, then this team has bigger issues.
This is where they need to show us they do have talent as we been hearing about for 8 years or more.

The 90's teams struggled without Emmitt, but they had no real capable back up. Well we do with DMC and Morris and Rod Smith too.
This is where Linehan and Garrett and Marinelli earns their paychecks. Show us you are coaches and can coach some wins, at least 4 wins over the next 6 games. And MUST beat Philly too.

If they can do that, I won't harp on them as much. Get us to the playoffs, and win a few games. If they can't get the team through the next 6 games, they truly need to go. Every one of them.

You definitely paint a nice picture. And based on the way you presented it, I'd agree that it's "doable".

But, until I see some real improvement from the Cowboys defense, and no huge falloff from losing Zeke for six weeks, it's hard for me to see "doable" becoming done.

I'm happy with back to back wins, even if they're against some really hurting teams, but this game against the Chiefs will really show me something one way or the other.
I feel we’ve had some improvements. Kc is a great time to prove me right.

At this point, i dont think so. Most are assuming that the offense will be fine w/o Zeke. While Morris & Smith (McFadden is a bum to me) arent “bad” backs, I cant see them consistently getting 4-5 yards like Zeke AND converting all the 3rd & shorts.


With that said, that dam Rams game is coming back to bite us already. We should be 5-2 right now and only 1.5 games back of first. Now we need for them to start losing (root for NYG this week) because I cant see them winning the West so they will be in it for one of those wildcard spots.

**** You Ryan Switzer :mad:

Yes it is. No better time to show defensive improvement than against what I feel is the best offense in the league. If Dallas can even get in the way, I'll be impressed.

Heath Evans on NFL Network predicted we lose the next 4 games. Says we go 2-4 without Zeke.

I say if we beat KC this team starts rolling. If they get smoked we could be in serious trouble.

Is it doable? I can’t wait to find out.
I saw this too and laughed. Cowboys haters stand out like no-one else.
