Yea, not so tough against Arizona were we.
That didn't lose anything...yet. The offensive line was together for the first time in a year and a half. That was significant. The right side of the Dallas offensive line still needs to elevate from that very point. The Dallas offense came together starting with the Charger game.

I don't think winning the division even matters that much at this point. It doesn't guarantee you the first-round bye week anymore. Is hosting a wild-card game that much of an advantage? I say no considering being the 5-seed will mean playing the Saints in New Orleans. I will take that challenge in the wild-card round. This post-season, success will have to mean the Cowboys become road warriors.

It's not being a defeatist, it's being a realist when you look at the schedules, etc.

Even if we and the 49ers beat the Eagles, we'd still have to win out, which seems how likely?

If you want some glimmer of hope to hold onto here, pray the Bills can figure out how to win in Philly next weekend.
That’s assuming the eagles win out. If you’ve watched the eagles the last couple of years when they lose they play horribly the next game. They haven’t exactly been playing jaw dropping football either. We have a gauntlet at the end of the season but I can see a few teams Philly takes lightly beating them as well.

The running game is starting to work out it's early season problems. Pollard is back up to a 4 yard per carry average and Dowdle is contributing now for the past two games.

But Philly has a two game lead. So even if they aren't perfect down the stretch, we likely have to be.

So again, if you want to win the division, you had best hope the Bills beat them this weekend. If not, you are left hoping that the Giants pull one out of their butts at the end of the year and we basically win out.

They should have lost to the Chiefs and just went through a very physical game down there.

They’re going to lose 2 out of their next 3 games and I wouldn’t be surprised if they lose all 3 games which are all going to be extremely physical.

Defences are getting to Hurts when he has to pass. If offences can deplore WR’s that can actually catch the ball, then their secondary is torched too. Chiefs ran on them also where they have been very good usually.

The Bills are a wild team and if they beat them, watch San Fran smell blood and go get them. Then they face us at home. 3 very physical tough games for them.

Can't believe it's only Thanksgiving and we're OUT OF IT. Lost games against high school teams = bad coaching, bad culture, wealthy players making business decisions because they know no one will fire their arses. May not watch another game this year and spend the 3 hours with family. Too old to care.
