With Philly rolling over Tennessee you just have to wonder if the Cowboys are going to show up tonight. Even if they win out their chances of winning the NFC are slim and none. They may feel they can kiss off a couple of games and still get a wildcard. They may have a real tough time getting up for the next three opponents. If they lose their edge it will be another one and done if they do make the playoffs.

Good point. Wish we had played early game.

They very well may now be demoralized realizing they are chasing a team that's moving further away from them,, and not getting closer

The Cowboys are going to have to stay engaged and beat those lesser teams in order to even have a shot at beating the Eagles.

no one should be expecting a blowout

Indy is one of those teams like Denver last year should be a win but it ends up as a loss

i think we'll win but itll be a close 23-17 game

Lol relax, both of you guys. Eagles still play the Giants twice, and while they aren't world-beaters by any means, never write off a division rival.

I can't shake this sinking feeling that this game isn't going to go like we all think/want/expect it to.

I'm not sure this is the most mature team out there, and I'll bet MM feels same way.

Everyone in here just assumes this will be an easy win. Why do I get the sense the players are too, and are focusing way too much time on TD celebration planning for a prime time game, than on the Colts? The Colts are trying their azz off for Saturday....and they run the ball a lot, and likely won't give us any gifts. We fall victim to a trap game every year. GreenBay was NOT it...nobody looks past GB , Aaron Rodgers, at home (even though they aren't great now).

Not saying win, lose, draw.. But I can't shake worrisome feeling that in 4th quarter, we will be sweating, and that the game day thread will be a roller coaster ride tonight.


Yeah, I'm with you. I think the Colts are going to put a beat down on the Cowboys like we have never seen before.

I guess I'll just hit some weed and cry myself to sleep after this game.

No win is easy in the NFL.

I have the opposite feeling.

The way I see it, our players are motivated after losing three games, all of which they should not have lost.

They don't seem to be underestimating this team like McCarthy did during the bye week before Greenbay.

Dallas say they are Championship caliber, it's time for them to show it. No more let downs, excuses, games lost due to sloppy play. Yes the refs always seem to effect the on field play negatively but the Cowboys need to outplay teams like the Colts to where that shouldn't matter.

Put up or shut up

B) Dallas will win easily

I think only one game went the way I hoped today. Sadly, even with a good game tonight, this week is just treading water.
