SF is 4-4 but yet many fans feel we still need to fear them.
Different year, we have a better defense as well.
Maybe Moore has also improved as well to call a better game.

IF we even get to play them. Long way to go.

49ers 23
Cowboys 13

The last place team in the NFC East would be tied for first in the NFC South and a clear 2nd place in the other two NFC divisions.

Possibly next 3 games.
I have been calling the Giants the paper tigers all season, don't care about their current record.
They get beat badly and exposed in our house in three weeks, but one game at a time.

Skins 4-5

North
Vikes 7-1
Packers 3-6
Bears 3-6
Lions 2-6

South
Bucs 4-5
Falcons 4-6
Saints 3-6
Panthers 3-7

West
Seahawks 6-3
49ers 4-4
Rams 3-5
Cardinals 3-6


Cream is rising to the top, with only 4 maybe 5 legit teams.
The rest of the NFC is garbage at this point.
Watching the Falcons Panthers game last night was painful, but again the underdog Panthers beat the Falcons.
The NFC is wide open for taking the crown this year.
So if the season ended right now Cowboys play Buccaneers,in the first round

I haven't looked that hard honestly and don't really care about that scenario right now, but I expect that this Cowboys team will be playing for a wild card at this point, so if that matchup is relevant so be it.
This is a very different team than we have experienced in past seasons, this team is getting better as they advance.
When I look at all the current contenders in the NFC I don't see anyone else, Eagles, Vikes, Seahawks, or Giants introducing the young upside talent that Dallas is.
Talking defense specifically, and this D is getting into a rhythm now, and the upside is tremendous pushing forward to the post season.
Team health is always a deciding factor.

You might be right when it comes to serious business, but I am going off of current standings and the NFC is a crap conference this season.
It will come down to Dallas vs Philly, as it should.

You might be right.


The 40 whiners aren’t playing well but are returning some key folks. That said, they have a pretty tough schedule…chargers, dolphins, Bucs, cardinals 2x, and Seahawks again yet. They lost to Atlanta already and if they lose to the Bucs they would potentially be losing any tie breaker for the last playoff spot depending on how the Bucs and atl finish. I’m watching them because I really don’t like how we match up against them so I’m hoping they miss altogether.

Just the addition of Mccaffrey and a yet to explode Deebo should concern most, despite their current standing.

crazy Preseason predictors had the saints and Bucs going far in the playoffs. a few had Carolina a darhorse when they traded for Mayfield. Ouch NFCW has always been string but not one person thought Seatle would be first place mid-season and cards last place and rams at 3-5 , crazy start to the season.

our fans , you know who you are right here in the zone, media etc stated Dallas wouldn't be good the historically bad offseason and no depth no one to replace the alleged stars we released.

egg taste good?? :))
It was refreshing to see the team get rid of the high salaried, marginal performance, troublemaker players. I thought it made the team better right away on that merit alone. The real need was the Oline.

Vikes are an unconvincing 7-1 imo
Allen (elbow) is expected to start Sunday's contest against the Vikings, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Allen is expected to play through his ulnar collateral ligament injury Sunday, as the Bills have reportedly been assured by multiple arm doctors and specialists that the star quarterback will not have any added risk of worsening the injury if he suites up versus Minnesota. Buffalo also elected not to elevate Matt Barkley from the practice squad Saturday, another indication that Allen is trending towards active status.
Go Bills!

True and I would love to believe that but RG3 had Pierre Garcon and Josh Morgan to throw to.
Hurts is throwing the rock to AJ Brown and DeVonta Smith.
It comes down to the re-match. If the Cowboys defense dominates the Eagles, then we'll know the Eagles offense is a 1 season gimmick. i.e. A good defense that sees a gimmick a 2nd time should shut it down.

The Eagles play the Commodes tomorrow night. Commodes problem is offense but the defense has only allowed an average of 16 points the past 4 games. Eagles will win but we'll see if their offense struggles in their 1st re-match of the season.

Eagles face NYG 2 weeks before Cowboys. NYG currently 6th in points allowed.

I still find it difficult to buy into the Eagles success.

It feels like RG3's rookie season when he won 7 in a row to finish the season but then had a total of 7 wins for the remainder of his career.
I think they had a couple of lucky wins and could very easily be 5-3, while we could very easily be 7-1. If they however maintain this momentum and end up the #1 seed, they get all home games, while we, regarless of our record will have to win a few on the road. I don't think any team wants a playoff game in philthy, while I fear we have a tendency to stumble come playoff time especially on the road. We desperately need that #1 seed.

Dumb i mean if the Cowboys can win 4 with Tush , why would the bills expose JA to long lingering and bigger issues over one game or 2..says they don't trust their OL, WRs, or Run game with a BU QB.. JA is the Bills.they are scared to sit him 1-2 games.
