Ok, like the rest, I am upset with the Skins loss, but we won't win them all. If you said 3-1 after 4 weeks on September 1, I would have taken it.

So here is schedule rest of way and how I think it plays out:

10/5 vs Bengals - win, closer than we like though (4-1)
10/12 at Cards - win, but not confident. Maybe a shootout (5-1)
10/19 at Rams - Rams build 24-0 lead..just kidding (6-1)
10/26 vs Bucs - loss, they play better on on road and looking at next week (6-2)
11/2 - at Giants - win, revenge of sorts (7-2)
11/9 - bye comes at good time
11/16 - at Skins - win as defense redeems itself and Felix goes for his first 100 yard game! (8-2)
11/23 vs 49ers - win, despite Antonio Bryant's 2 tds (9-2)
11/27 - vs Seattle, win, Julius Jones is tackled by the 5 yard line as time expires (10-2)
12/7 at Steelers, loss, but close (10-3)
12/14 vs Giants, loss, Eli plays always plays great in Texas Stadium (10-4)
12/21 vs Ravens, win (11-4)
12/28 at Eagles, loss, Romo sacked a bit (11-5)

11-5, wildcard team.

Thoughts?

I still see us at worst 12-4.

Every game in October is winnable.

If we are not 7-1 after the month, I will be shocked and choked.

The Bucks game is an away game the Cowboys only seem to mess up at home they'll win that so they'll win that to 7-1 going to NY

The Cardinals offense will be a test for our defense and the Bucs defense will be a test for our offense. I do expect us to beat the Cards but the Bucs will be very tough. But their offense does not scare me at all whatsoever.

I'm thinking more like 13-3 (sound familiar?). I don't get the Buc's loss at all, and I think the Steelers are flat, stale and overrated.
I also think that McNabb will naturally NOT finish the season, that the closer in Philly is up for grabs too.
We only lose games we shouldn't lose. We usually rise up and play hard against good teams, and sweat out the Cincy's and the Forty-Whiners of the world. That's been the M.O. the last few years.
With the exception of the Patriot loss last year, there's not ONE LOSS that was a loss on paper before the game since then. NOT ONE!!! Each loss since New England was a mild-to-serious upset that left everyone rolling their eye's.
Also, remember that the company line this year is that it doesn't make a difference how many wins we get, just get it right come January and win a playoff game. Same's true in the reverse. This loss doesn't mean anything. I'm already bored with the regular season (with regard to our playoff woes). I don't care. After that fiasco last year, all I care about is getting into the playoffs (which should be a "gimme") What, we're supposed to go undefeated???? I had us for 13-3 since the end of last year anyway.

11/9 - bye
11/16 - at Skins - WIN by a couple TD's....7-3
11/23 vs 49ers - WIN by 15 or so.....8-3
11/27 - vs Seattle - WIN by a TD......9-3
12/7 at Steelers - WIN by 10 or so.....10-3

No, it's a home game.

I think we beat them though.

You really think we lose our last regular season home game at home to the offensively challenged Ravens by 10-13 points? That's basically a blowout in the NFL?

So, you have us blown out the last game at Texas Stadium by the Ravens?

And are the Commanders winning the division or us?

i say we go 12-4...and i don't know...i'm not feelin good about our super bowl chances. I'm very close to admitting that yesterday's team was the real us. All we got is bombs to wide recievers and usually a good running game. Teams are starting to catch on...and yes...romo is sooooo overrated. I miss the Romo that ran around and made crazy plays....what happened to the old romo? sigh...

lol, you people amaze me.. romo had a solid game yesterday for what he had to work with game plan wise. the defense and the lack of a running game is what killed us, no tony.

11/2 - at Giants - win, revenge of sorts (7-2) TOSS UP- I'll SAY WIN
11/9 - bye comes at good time
11/16 - at Skins - win as defense redeems itself and Felix goes for his first 100 yard game! (8-2) - GO AHEAD AND GET UPSET NOW. LOSS
11/23 vs 49ers - win, despite Antonio Bryant's 2 tds (9-2) WIN, CLOSER THAN WE'D LIKE
11/27 - vs Seattle, win, Julius Jones is tackled by the 5 yard line as time expires (10-2) WIN. FAIRLY EASY.
12/7 at Steelers, loss, but close (10-3) WIN. EASIER THAN EXPECTED.
12/14 vs Giants, loss, Eli plays always plays great in Texas Stadium (10-4) WIN AGAIN.
12/21 vs Ravens, win (11-4) WIN. THEY CAN'T KEEP UP.
12/28 at Eagles, loss, Romo sacked a bit (11-5) LOSS, with ZERO MEANING.

11-5, wildcard team. 13-3 Division Champion.

Thoughts?
We will host the Skins in the first round and prove how difficult it is to win three times against a team just as the Giants did. We're better than they are, regardless of what happens in DC and what happened yesterday.

We win the NFC and go to the Superbowl. We still have everything to play for. We get big time healthy against Cincy and I think Romo cleans up his play from here on.

I said when the season started the division would look like this.....
Dallas 11-5
Washington 10-6
N.Y. Gimps 10-6
Philthy 9-7

I am 100% sure the next world champion is coming from our division, and we will send 3 teams to post season.

Then we can't meet in the first round. We'd have to play one of the four division champions.

I predict a loss to the Giants and Eagles, so 2 + 1

13-3! no, more like 12-4, the 4th loss either to the Ravens or Steelers

Yeah, I pretty much agree. You could come up with any order of finish and it would be plausible.

It would not be shocking if the last place team went 10-6 and that's just crazy tough imo.
