The Eagles, Lions, and Seahawks all have remaining schedules that will allow them to win 3 out of 4 which means we have to probably win out to make the playoffs which is a huge task. Even if we go 3-1 that would still not be enough due to the eagles undefeated division record and the tie breaker we would lose with the Lions and seahawks. So I say all this to say it's not looking good at this point


The Lions have a easy schedule.........bears, bucs, vikings, and packers.......11-5

The Seahawks have a easy schedule..........eagles, niners at home, at arizona, rams at home.....11-5

The Eagles have a easy schedule............seahawks, cowboys, giants, skins..............11-5 at the worst


See how we have to finish 12-4 in order to get in? We need the Eagles to lose 3 games and need seattle and detroit to lose 2 games. So we have to win out. smh

First off relax... teams are going to lose games that shouldn't... its that simple, not everyone is going to go 11-5.

The Eagles, Niners, Cards and Rams are NOT easy!

I could see the Lions losing to the Bears Vikes and Packers.

I could see the eagles losing 3 of 4 there to!

Relax, let them play the games!

How is playing the Eagles, the Cardinals and the 49ers an easy schedule?

Color me confused.

I think the Seattle schedule does come off as easy -- they are playing lights out now. They are going to win the West and be an ugly playoff matchup. They are not the team to worry about in terms of wild card right now. Az is fading and that is what we need to watch.

And the Eagles, sheesh, the Seahawks, us, and two road games against NFC East teams on the road to finish out? There are no gimmes in that schedule. Washington and the Giants may be done but NFC East always plays NFC East tough

No, the NFC East always plays the Cowboys tough.

Two games at home against the niners and rams
Arizona has no QB

So I don't see more than 1 loss which would probably be to the eagles

Rams are not winning in seattle and they just beat the niners in sanfrancisco.

So that's why I see them at the worst 11-5, 10-6 would be good for us but it's a slim chance

Eagles play the deadskins and giants so the worst they would finish is 11-5

It was a bad loss but Dallas can still overcome it. My question is: How many of the players that have been a part of the December collapse the last few years are starting to doubt? Hopefully they are doing everything necessary for the stretch run and negative thoughts are nonexistent.

It was a bad loss in terms of Dallas no longer controlling their destiny for the division title...............even if we win out, we still lose the division unless somebody else beats Philly as well.

That is why the loss was huge.


A bigger loss will be if we lose to Chicago because that will be our 5th conference loss.

I guess you missed how Washington played so well against the Eagles in Philly earlier in the season - with a guy who is now third string

I forgot about them, so that's 4 teams we need to lose in december

The Cardinals, Seahawks, and 49ers will be playing each other. They'll knock one off right there.

The Cardinals, 49ers, and Lions are fading worse than Dallas right now. I assure you, 11-5 will get Dallas in, and if Seattle beats Philly, it might win the Cowboys the division.

:rolleyes:I'm really glad you can predict the future. Anything else? Who will be in the Super Bowl? NFC/AFC Championship game? Who will be the next president? What will win Best Picture at the Academy Awards?

I don't think Packers and Vikings are easy, Packers definitely not considering Aaron Rodgers.

The way it looks now Packers vs Broncos but of course that could change in a month
