I cant believe it could be that close.

Philly looking bad, and Lions are up and down in their play. Being a short week, Philly travels, and Lions will play up this game. Hoping they can beat the Iggles, and beat them badly. Wonder if Bradford will be back to play.

Carolina traveling, to here, but we don't seem to have the home field as we should. Be a T-Day game, hopefully we have that. Panthers are getting back one of their pass rushers, as if they need help. Why always against us do they get healthy. We need to win this game, as all games.

If Commanders can beat the Giants, and I think they can, that would be great.

 

[Wayne02]

The Giants own the Commanders, but maybe after getting embarrassed on Sunday, hopefully they'll come out with some fight against NY since mathematically, they're still alive.

 

[Aven8]

Detroit is playing really well right now and on a 2 game win streak. They have held both GB and Oakland under 20 points in consecutive weeks. We need you Lions one more time!

I was most concerned about Philly because they appeared to have the easiest schedule. Then they go out and lose to Miami and Tampa at home. WOW!

I see the Giants losing at least two more games. Probably three, hopefully.

It's going to be tough to catch them, but this is doable, and it's likely that Dallas will have the division tie-breaker against them if they can get there.

 

[Oh_Canada]

Not worried about Philly- they stink.

It's the other two I'm worried about and the Giants coming of a bye and play the Commanders tough sounds like it's a tall order to see a dream scenario occur:

I cant believe it could be that close.

Ive been one of the biggest debbie downers, "realists", whatever you want to call it for last 5-6 weeks . I mean, did you see the odds and how they were playing? But that was an entirely different team we watched play yesterday. They looked good. Real good. It could have easily been 30-14, if Romo wasnt a tad rusty.

And I know they were playing inspired. With a momentum boost from Romo, but i dont think that feeling/momentum is going anywhere anytime soon. The team "believes" again and I think we will see the same effort on Turkey Day. This team, from coaches to players to the water boys, " believe" in Romo. They play for him. The step up for him.............Now, we still have an uphill battle..... One off day by Romo, one bad call or bounce..... one fluky game, one ill timed turnover, etc etc etc. And were done.

But...... darn if they didnt look like a really strong, tough, good football team. I am ready to eat crow for prior posts I have been making about making the playoffs.....eating crow will never taste better! We beat Carolina and Im jumpin on that train , man, and asking for for Forgiveness, for not believing;

Luckily, the NFCE is horrible; But, who cares. everybody needs a little luck;

-- DMC is my new fav player; I love his hustle these last few ball games. love it.

Keep in mind, we need Philly to hang around because we need that final game to have meaning for them.

Philly put a whooping on Eli in the first meeting. If that final game means nothing for the Eagles, Dallas could be in trouble.

Our destiny will be in our own hands by that point. If you look at the remaining schedules, it is quite possible that Dallas and the Giants are tied going into the last week with both Philly and the Skins one game back.

It would mean something, the pride of them knocking the giants out of it.

Exactly, but if the Giants beat the Eagles and the teams end up tied in the division, it comes down to NFC record, and the Cowboys don't look good there right now.

The Commanders had a couple of key injuries this week with Trent Williams, Alfred Morris and Jordan Reed . That being said, it's a division game, so it should be close. Both teams should be able to score points.

The Lions defense has been better lately and they have enough talent to beat the Eagles with Sanchez playing.

Now the Panthers, well.. that won't be easy. They have a good defense and they get another pass rusher back this week. Without Romo this one is a trainwreck. Cam Newton does not have a high completion percentage, but he is a big QB, with a rocket arm. He has played a lot better this year and looks to have found some touch, instead of throwing fastballs every play and is reading zones better. I can easily see this being a 27-20 type of game. Big test for the offense in a game where they will match up well against the run, Dez(Norman) and Witten(Both LB's). This is going to be won in the trenches most likely with some role players needing to step up. Romo tends to do well against 4-3 defenses in general if the line and backs can pick up the blitzes.

I feel like Dwayne Harris cost us the division.

Not sure if you agree, but I really don't think it makes a difference between Bradford and Sanchez. I guess Sanchez gets them playing faster, that's about it.
They did lay an egg this past week though. Tampa is playing better lately....relatively speaking.

Sanchez seems more prone to throw INT's. So going into Detroit on a short week, if Sanchez plays, I think he throws a few more picks.
As where Bradford would be more rested.
But yes, tend to agree, overall doesn't make that big of a difference.

 

[Staubacher]

I'm pretty sure if we beat Carolina they don't take a loss of our books - we would be 4-7 not 4-6. Wish it worked that way lol

It's hard to gauge the Giants. They were competitive with the Patriots........but try are so up and down.
