But after the next two games vs. the Eagles and Giants, we have a pretty reasonable schedule to close out the year. We have three home games in a row after the Giants game, and neither the Skins, Jets nor Packers scare me.

Then we play Detroit on the road, then get the Eagles at home. We close out with Carolina (where we've killed them like 5 times in a row) and a possible meaningless game (for us) vs. the Skins.

As long as this team keeps its focus, limits turnovers and penalties, home field throughout is certainly there for the taking.

I'll take cover now...

13-3 is pretty attainable.

12-4 at worst.

Things can go either way... and maintaining the current winning ways would definitely be a major trend-bucking development for the cowboys compared to recent-season fade jobs...

Barring serious injuries to our key guys, I think we go 13-3. I think we'll lose 2 out of these games (Packers, Carolina, Wash in DC, Detroit)

I think we might get a loss at either Philly or New York. I think we can handle Carolina. Philly and New York always play us tough, espcially at their place.

Hey, why not look ahead as long as you're not a player or a coach what does it matter to look ahead. But who knows what's gonna happen, I'll especially be nervous after Thanksgiving given our past recent history during that time. But all in all it's a whole lot better start than I ever expected.:)

Did you really just call a road division game that is the last game of the year "possible meaningless game"??? Not to mention against a team who will be in the playoff hunt? You've got to be kidding me.

NY, in NY, after their bye is going to be a *tough* game.
I'd be shocked if we don't kill Philly, even in Philly this year, though. It looks like we'll be getting them at a good time, at least.

I think we win all our remaining home games. We might lose one of the next two road games (Philly, N.Y.), but not both. We will beat Detroit on the road and probably lose to either Washington or Carolina on the road. 13-3 very possible, 12-4 should be a lock.
