Stretch Run Reality

[phildadon86]

To be fair, they're the ones that broke our quarterback.

Yeah i get that lol. Im just saying, getting taken to the woodshed ususally means a whoooping. I dont know i didnt see that happen. We lost by 3 in overtime. Maybe the saying taken to the woodshed is taken differently in Canada? I dont know

Why couldn't the Skins and Bears beat us. The Skins already did....

I don't really think this team is going to finish 18-8, but its not unrealistic for this team to drop 4 more games or so.

I am not really into making predictions, but I do agree that they are not going to finish 18-8.

Yeah, certainly not the worst beating in the world. But it does remind me of the San Fran game when Romo led us to victory after breaking his ribs. I look back on that game and think "Did we really win that game?" because my eyes told me the 49ers were the better team that day by a pretty good margin, despite what the scoreboard showed. Same thing with the Commanders game this year. Yes, it went to overtime, but if I didn't see the scoreboard, I'd say the Commanders beat the crap out of us.

Cowboys could still legitimately finish anywhere from 8-8 to 13-3.

Should beat Giants, but it would not be shocking to lose to Bears, Colts, swept by Eagles, and Skins who already took us to the woodshed.

Despite getting some players back, this stretch run could see us play fairly well and still finish out of the playoffs. I'm hoping for 10-6 or 11-5, but it's not like we have to collapse to finish worse.

Should be exciting and a clear picture of just how much work must be done in the off season.

We know what Philly, Indy, and the Bears can do, and we know the Giants and Skins have nothing to lose and will throw the kitchen sink at us. Just how good are we?

That, my friend, is the $64,000 question. This team has flashed brilliance but they've also shown signs of severe defensive limitations. I really don't think we'll know until the end of the season but I suspect we can handle Philthy with our new ball control gameplan, maybe win a playoff game or two, but at some point get outscored by the Packers. If the defense can continue to progress though, that changes everything.

We'll go as far as he OL takes us, if we lose 1 OL we still make the play-offs, if we lose 2 or more we're out.

Well, I wouldnt call failing to score on the final drive, being taken to the woodshed. And Dallas had done pretty good in revenge games like the Bears, who the Cowboys could beat throwing just a couple passes. Chicago cannot stop the run at all. Thats a sure win.

 

[Future]

Way to go out on a limb there. I'm going to take a bold stand and say we won't finish 47-12.

I think I confused 8-8 with 13-3

 

[TonyRomo17]

Dallas wont punt when they play the Bears.

 

[ghst187]

the cold harsh reality is that 3-3 over the final stretch will probably disallow us from controlling our own destiny while a 4-2 stretch and I think we'll be safe to get in since Seattle, San Fran, and Arizona are going to beat each other up

 

[Zekeats]

I thought this was about the running play........completely caught me off guard

 

[Jerryrage]

I also need the lotto numbers until the end of year.

Had Romo not gone out, we beat the Commanders. The Bears are in total disarray now.

8-8-8-8-8-8

 

[Risen Star]

I think we're going to win the Super Bowl and Anthony Hitchens will be named MVP of that game.

 

[Risen Star]

What's the definition of mediocrity?

18-8.

 

[big dog cowboy]

Dallas wont punt when they play the Bears.

I have no problem with that.

 

[Idgit]

Is there some way we can realistically win less than 7 games still? With Weeden playing or Jason Garrett getting us docked a game for excessive clapping? Because, if so, that's what I definitely could see happening.

 

[Joe Realist]

10-6, no playoffs because 49ers sneak in as 6th seed

1. at Giants W
2. vs Eagles L
3. at Bears W
4. at Eagles W
5. vs Colts L
6. at Skins L

 

[JohnnyTheFox]

Didn't the bears beat us with a backup QB last year? And when was the last time we have stopped Cutler and Marshall? I think we win the game but if the Chicago O gets on track against us I wont be surprised.
