Yeah, I like our chances. Even if one of these teams wins out which has zero chance of happening we’d win the division easily.
If Washington wins out then we wouldn't "easily" win division as you suggested because that would mean Washington would have finished 12-5 with 2 wins head to head against us.

We'd have to finished 13-4 to win the division at that point. That mean's we'd have to go 8-1 against the Chiefs, Vikings, Raiders, Saints, Cardinals, Giants, Eagles, Falcons, and Broncos left.

So, although it's VERY unlikely any of these teams win out, I'm just not somebody that is willing to count my eggs before they hatch ever. I've watched enough Cowboys football to know that it's never wise to think anything is automatic.

6 down and 11 to go. A lot can happen in 2 months. We just need to stay healthy, from qb to rb's to lb's to Oline, etc. (just puttin a little mojo on the cake) :)

True, I just want to see the Cowboys continue to play quality football and improve on some things as they move forward. If they do that everything will take care of itself.

There is a really good chance we can be 5 up in the loss column by the start of the game Sunday night.

Cowboys have started the season 5-1 fourteen times in our history and never missed the playoffs.

I think the same way. The Chiefs do not look like the team of the last few years though. Im more worried about the Cardinals than anyone. I may be in the stadium for that game. So I am hoping its for the bye week and home field. Would make it so much better to be there.

The only standings I care about at this point are the playoff standings. That #4 seed will be a huge disadvantage as you get rewarded with a game likely against either LA or Arizona. Time to start look towards a bye or at least a lesser game against a team like New Orleans, Atlanta, etc.

Mahomes can still drop 450 yards and 5 TDs on this defense. They can still easily be dangerous even if they haven't looked all there.

Oh no I know. He scares me a lot. I am just saying I am more scared of the Cards because they have been more consistent.

I worry about both of those games simply because I don't believe we have a good defense outside of getting turnovers. We can't expect to force 2 turnovers a game.

I think the chiefs are still having Oline issues. Patrick is always running for his life. Add some really good cover db's to the mix and he really gets into trouble.

Even If Dak misses a game or 2 with this injury I am confident MM will have Rush ready to go…Under Mike this team truly switches players in and out with very little drop off. Unlike under JG, I think Mike has planned for a time when Rush is needed. Let’s have faith in this coaching staff that has turned this team into a contender in less than 2 years and only 1 off-season…
