Eagles
Falcons
Saints
New England
Bye week


After those games Bryant should be back and Hardy and McClain will be back for the Pats.

I see us losing to the Eagles and Pats and beating the Falcons and Saints.

Hard to say really. The only team that we've seen in real football action is the Patriots. If I were forced to make a prediction, I would say that the Falcons and Saints are more realistic for W's, while the Eagles and Patriots are more realistic L's, but who knows. Although playing in NO, will be difficult as well.

I'm thinking 2-2 with wins against Falcons and Saints.

I'd be fine with that to be perfectly honest.

3-2 after the bye with Ro, Hardy, and Dez all back and ready to go. That would work out good for us.

I think we'll beat the Eagles and Saints, but need a couple of takeaways to beat New England. As for the Falcons, I'm one of their biggest fans until around midnight tonight, so I don't want to predict they will lose any games right now. :)

3-1 is possible, 2-2 is more realistic.

We should be able to run the ball all over each of those teams.

if 2-2 means 2-0 in the NFCE, I'd be satisfied with that but a 3-1 record would be nice. The only team that scares me is New England, obviously the Eagles game is always a toss up no matter who either team has lining up

We didn't run the ball all that well against Philly last year and that was with Murray.

If they beat Philly next week, it will be largely on the arm of Romo.

I have no idea. I truly have no read on this team after last night. If anything I'm just more confused. I think a let down next week is a real possibility. We simply have to run the ball to be effective without Dez. I just don't know if we can do it consistently.

If I was Garrett I'd be super conservative against the Eagles next week. They will be teeing off on Romo and if we lose him, season over. If we can somehow get into the bye week at 3-2 I'll be satisfied.

Eagles will be tough, with or without Dez.
Falcons, we should be fine.
At Saints will be tough regardless also. But I still feel good about this game
Hardy and Ro back on D for NE. They should be getting more in place and how things are going.

I agree, if we are 3-2 at the bye, we are good. I think we could even be 4-1 with the right breaks. Give us some of the Giants lucky bounces they get against us, that would help a lot.

Ran for just over 200 yards in those two games...though YPC wasn't great. But the Eagles did everything to stop the run and Tony torched them in the second game. The Eagles don't have the horses on defense to stop this offense.

Dez being out certainly makes things more difficult.

Let's see how they deal with Julio and company tonight.

We couldn't run at all against them, especially in the second game: Murray was 31-81 (2.6). Not sure if they'll sell out quite the same way this time around, but I would guess they will, and see if our receivers can beat single coverage (and hold onto the ball).

We couldn't run on the eagles last year and their run d got better....

I think the Eagles gave us two of our three worst rushing performances.

We won the 2nd Eagles game because of Romo and the passing game, not the running game. I think for a win next week, it's again going to be the passing game that has to shine.

I can see us winning up til the bye week. With Dez out the pressure is on Philly since everyone is expecting that outcome. Very similar to our game last season when we went to Seattle.


We shook off plenty of rust last night and got our TOs out of our system haha..

The defense did a damn good job last night and the score won't reflect it. I can't wait for Philly
