How do you guys see us coming out in our 6 NFCE games? I think we will be 4 and 2 or better, but there is no telling who our loss or losses will be to.

I think we will split with the Eagles. We could potentially sweep the other four games.

3-3, could be 2-4. I think the Eagles sweep as they would have last season because they're just a better team, top to bottom. Think we'll split with the other two for a 2-4 division record.

I think the Cowboys' dependence on the run game will hurt them. The other teams with elite RB's, including the Giants, have potent passing games when they need it. DC's are all going to have the same game plan against the Cowboys. And while it's true that the Barkley hasn't played a down, what I saw at Penn St was pretty special.

Atlanta, LA Rams, New Orleans, Green Bay, Minnesota are all possibly strong---just to name a few outside of NFCE

Should be wild NFC in 2018

We will continue our rout of the Commanders.

The other two are really up for grabs. I could see us splitting each series with Philly and the G-Men.

4-2

We will split with the Eagles. They get us at home when we are coming off a short week, then we get them at home when we’re coming off a long rest and them off a MNF game.

I believe that we’ll sweep the Giants. The Commanders are going to be better than anyone thinks with Guice and Paul Richardson as a deep threat. I think we beat them in their house and they beat us in ours, as usual.

I like our chances to hold up against the Eagles offense, provided we do a better job inside at defensive tackle. It's our offense moving the ball consistantly against their defense that gives me more concern. But as long as they don't bash us with their run and trap game again, I think we can play with them.

So you think that Giants offensive line is going to suddenly get better overnight? Or is Barkley so special in your eyes that's it won't matter whether he has blocking or not?

Since it's extremely unlikely the Eagles will be resting starters in Week 14, I'll say 3-3. Don't know which of the other 2 teams you will split or sweep - just that as likely as it is that one of them will be much improved, it's just as doubtful that both will be.

I've come to the belief that our entire season is going to come down to Dak and Hurn/Gallop. IF we can get the ball to the receivers on a consistent basis, this can be a good team. Everything else is in place to be an above average team. We go 4-2 in that scenario. If Dak and/or the receivers can't get it done...2-4 or worse.

The Cowboys play the Eagles in Arlington on Sunday, December 9th.

The Cowboys will be coming off a Thursday night game on November 29th against the Saints (10 days rest). The Eagles will be traveling, coming off a Monday night game on December 3 against the Skins.

This is the only time this NFL season any team has to go on the road on a short week against a team with a long rest.

Cowboys take that game. Period.

Don't know what their OL is going to look like but he is a gifted back with balance unlike any I have ever seen. But that OL is more important for their pass game and if they can establish the run, they've got a hell of a receiving corps and their TE hasn't really shown what he can do yet. He's just scratched the surface and I don't like our Safety's on any of the TE's in the East.

NYG is a weird team, they get pretty much ignored and then end up in the SB. I do think the Eagles are superior to the Cowboys in all 3 phases and coaching and the Skins can play tough and Smith protects the ball well.

Ya know, we were a 9-7 team and I really don't see where the team has improved….yet. It's all on paper or in camp or meaningless pretend games until it gets real, so there are quite a few unknowns about 3 of the 4 East teams, including the Cowboys.

It's all about that line to me. The greatest running back in the world can't run without blocking.

Eagles certainly have us in coaching to this point. I'm hoping our new assistants can help to change that. But the guys in the top chairs don't instill confidence.

The Skins don't scare me and especially not their quarterback, who we shut down when we play him. He had more talent at his disposal last year and did very little. They look like the division doormats to me.

We certainly were 9-7, and we didn't beat anyone who was any good either. But I think we're better than that record we had when Smith, Lee, and Elliott were all out and our depth was pathetic behind them. Having capable depth gives me hope we won't see a repeat. And if we have our lead dog running back, I see better than 9 wins.
