At first glance of the remaining schedule my first thought was "win out" but then I thought about it more and think there could be a couple of trap games.

vs Eagles
at Colts
vs Bucs
at Giants

I'm going to say 3-1. I think we lose @Colts as they're kind of like the us of the AFC as they started out horrible and are now 6-5. That would still give us 10-6 and most likely win the division. (although it could come down to tiebreakers). Hopefully the Bucs and Giants have nothing to play for when we play them.
 
It's not so much about winning out. It's about going into the playoffs as good as possible. We still have a lot of things to work on, and we still have a lot of people recovering from injuries. If Irving can shake off the rust by the end of the season and Lee can find a way to gel with the other stud LBs, we can easily have the best defense in the NFL. We also need to get healthy on the OL.
 
I think 9-7 probably wins the division.

If the cowboys would have lost to the saints. The eagles game would have been must win.

Now it’s not necessarily must win.

But if the cowboys do beat the eagles next week. They should really be in the drivers seat.

That being said. There’s a good chance that going 2-2 down the stretch, will clinch the playoffs.

Eagles have 5 games left. 2 against the Skins. One against the rams and one against the Texans plus our game. Good probability they lose at least two of them. And they are beat up injury wise.

Skins have an easier schedule but are also badly beat up, injury wise.

We should be rooting for Philly to beat the skins Monday night. And then Dallas to obvious beat the eagles.

If those two things happen. Dallas will have a little breathing room.

We will not give in easily to a pass happy team in Indy. Not following them lately, are they playing in a dome? Otherwise the weather could be a huge factor there at that time of the year.
 
We just best the best team in the league, anything is possible now with this defense..

We score 13 points and won...lol

And fumbled twice
And dropped interceptions
AND RAN INTO KICKERS!
AND LINED UP IN THE NEUTRAL ZONE! (Not really, crummy call)

AND STILL WON!

Usually when you have a result like this you have to play a near perfect game (Giants vs Bills in 90 SB, Dallas vs Skins in 91, etc) but this game was riddled with errors from Dallas, plus the usual questionable play calling, and they beat the best team in the league and held them to 10 points.

That's sick. It bodes well for the rest of the year. Dallas should be favored in all remaining games. Should win them all. If this team wins a home playoff game as the 4 or 3 seed we're in great shape going forward. Plus, this is how idiot Giants won in 2007. No one had an answer for the pass rush. Not us, GB in Lambeau, not the dopey Pats (all Harrison had to do was swipe the top of Tyree's helmet, Jeez).

Bears scare you? Vikings? Not really. Just beat Saints. Rams really only thing out there for this D to test themselves on. Be nice to try.
 
Eagles are going to be tough because there's a good chance they get by the Commanders and they'll still be fighting for the division. I do think we're the better team right now though. Colts are going to be tough because Andrew Luck's been playing really well. The Bucs and Giants really shouldn't bring a lot to the table. It's really up to us to just keep taking care of business.

While they are a pass first team (ranked 9th) they're about average to a little below average rushing team (18th) so it's sort of a balanced attack to an extent. They started out 1-5 and are now 6-5 mostly due to getting healthy. I'm not saying they're a great team but I just have a feeling it's a game we lose but I don't think it prevents us from winning the division.

And were missing our LT and quite possibly our second best defensive linemen. Not to mention a decent TE, decent WR, and former Pro Bowl LB.
 
I think it'd be best we take a loss before going into the playoffs given we make it just to reset ourselves. It's hard to go on those super long winning streaks. I say we can win 3 more games.
 
1st half OL and Dak and this D can win out. I never would’ve said that until tonight. I predicted 9-7 to win the East, but Dallas might have slingshotted themselves to sn 11-5 finish. The hype train has officially left the station.
 
I think they can run the table and win all of them, but it’s the nfl so probably 1 of them will get away.
 
11-5 is extension territory for Garrett.

10-6 might also qualify considering how the season started
 
I say we win out at this point and time.
If the D maintains this passion, it can overcome the coaching incompetence and QB growing pains...
