Next Monday could be the coming out party for the Cowboys. If we can dethrone last years NFC Champ. We send a big message to the rest of the NFC. We are back!... get ready. But if we loose to them we are not even a playoff team.

Whoa there! Dont get carried away. One loss and we're out? Not this team. The Foreskins will struggle too and we still can be them and the Giants if we lose this Monday(Which I doubt will happen) Philly is beaten up and bleeding, they lost to a team whose Defense is struggling against the run and the deep pass. They simply cannot stop JuJo when we play them. We will win IMO and by a convincing margin not some last minute drive or OT by by around 10 points.

the eagles are a team in trouble. with one foot on Philly's throat it's time to bear down and snap that neck.

i fully expect Dallas to close out the sweep - road or not. good teams get it done on the road. the Cowboys will show they are among the league's elite - and that the Eagles' window of opportunity has passed them by.

This is a pivotal game for Dallas. If they can beat a desperate, rallying Philly team on the road in the rain then the Cowboys are going places. If they lose, then they are still finding themselves and this season will be a lot more like September. It's as simple as that.

Chalk me up for critical game. 3 games in 11 days is tough. However, Philly is a must win IMO. It's a division game. We have the superior talent IMO. We have momentum. We're coming off a buy week so we should be rested and prepared. It's a big game. We have Detroit the next week, which should be a win and then we have Denver on ThanksGiving. If were going to drop a game, that's the game IMO. There not in the Division or even in the Conference. We will be tired and so, it's a much less critical loss. After that however, we have 9 days to heal, and then the stretch run. I think we have to beat Philly and Detroit because Detroit and Denver will be much harder. We have to come out of this stretch with a 7-4 mark, at worst, IMO. After that 9 day rest, we got a tough road.

@Giants
KC
@Washington
@Carolina
St. Louis.

I think 10-6 gets you into the playoffs. 9-7 wont get it done IMO. If we don't come out 7-4, at worst, that would mean that we would have to win 4 of our last 5 and that's not an easy task with our stretch schedule. I think we have a chance to win 3 of the last 5 but 4 would be real tough.

Philly is a must win IMO.

I agree with Philly being a must win and I think the Cowboys wil get it done, but not b/c of all this "Philly turmoil" reasons. Philly simply cannot run and conversely cannot stop the run and thisd is the reason I think the Cowboys should, and will, win.

In fact, I'm more confident about the Philly game than I am about Detroit the following week. Almost every year in which the Cowboys face the Lions the Cowboys are the more talented team and favored, and every year the Lions find some way to play their best game and the Cowboys find a way to play their worst.

I think it could be a great 11 days .

No time to get bored.

If we would win all 3 we would be 8-3 and on are way to the playoffs .
All this over an 11 day period.
I love it.
I worry about Denver the most. its hard to digest a loss after all that turkey and pie , so we need to win on turkey day.

As for the Eagles and the Lions . Its the NFL and in the NFL it is always a possibility for the upset , but these teams are just not that good.
Even before all the Eagles crap they could not hang with us...

I feel if we do not come out of this with at least 2/3 then we just did not want it bad enough.

When we have lost on Thanksgiving I can tell you the drive back to Houston takes forever. I will feel very good if this team can go 2-1 over the couse of these 11 days but like you I hope we can make it a clean sweep.

We go 3-0 here and we'll be the favorites in the NFC. This stretch will say a lot about this team's character.

Guys, please don't say Dallas will blowout Philly. When is he last tme the Boys
went into Philly and took care of business.

Philly is desperate, their game plan will be to create turnovers for a struggling offense. Which means, blitz Bledsoe who will gladly fumble. Not really, but
we know bad things happen when pressure gets to him.

Spot on! I try not to get too high or too low on weekly wins and losses but we need to do well over this stretch to have a good result this season. December will be tough and a good start to the second half is essential.

The schedule gods were not kind to the Cowboys this season and that does make a difference. We have some backers among the pundits and some critics but we'll all know more by the end of Thanksgiving Day.
