The division is not lost yet

[rambo2]

With a culture of losing and a lack of resilience. Say what you want about the Eagles and "luck", but when faced with adversity, they've overcome nearly every time (Jets game is an outlier). There's a reason why in college basketball and football, strength of schedule means something when assigning teams to playoff spots. Lots of big schools can beat up on lowly teams, and then when they meet their match, crumble. The Cowboys have yet to demonstrate one "big time win" this year, and haven't done so in decades.

The schedule favors Dallas going into the Philly game, especially if Dallas gets wins over Washington and Seattle.

People in glass houses.....

Not really you could be on a philly forum talking about your :"Big win" last night yet your here starting crap...more like people under a bridge...

Don't people usually value the "iron sharpens iron" mentality? Eagles could easily beat the Bills and Niners at home and go into the game with momentum and confidence too.

I've watched all their seasons since the 1st in 1960. I've seen the good years and the bad years decade by decade. I've watched Dak play for 8 years now and I've seen Fat Mike at the helm.
This team is far from a championship team.

The Cowboys are still a ways off from being a championship team but you have to maintain hope they can get back to that level. I know you’re frustrated, we all are but I’ll never lose all hope. The one positive is we’re winning a lot of games. We just have to figure out how to win them when they really matter the most against real good teams.

What did I say that was inaccurate? The forum here is constantly talking about the lack of winning culture, the GM, the coach, the QB who wilts during big games. I also didn't say anything about the fans (calling people "dregs"). So, please, what was inaccurate? Forget the glory days from more than 30 years ago. In the past 15 years on a consistent basis the Eagles have had the better record, been to more championship games, been to more super bowls and won one against a supposedly superior team.

Do you hear yourself and all the laughing going on. The internet is speaking to you and you should listen.

Maybe the Eagles seem unstoppable, but I'm not giving up on the season. Maybe, as someone who's never seen us in the NFCC, i have no right to think the way I do, but I saw our game on TV against Philly a few weeks ago. I saw a team that held the Eagles as close as anyone this year (excluding maybe the Jets). I saw a team that was a few bounces away from beating them. This team matches well against them. I don't care what the Internet says, and I'm not giving the Eagles the Lombardi yet.

Yes, you are right. But, at what level of competition? We haven't beaten anyone really good have we? We have played the easiest part of the schedule and now the tunnel looks dark ahead.

 

[RustyBourneHorse]

What would you consider more likely, Bills beating the Eagles in Philly this Sunday, or the Bills beating the Cowboys in Buffalo on December 17?

I'm not sure. I think it's likely actually that they lose both games. I think the Eagles oline got exposed a bit yesterday, so there's that. But, with Josh Allen turning the ball over like he has, I'm not sure he beats either team. Then again, I'd say the former only because of the coaching bounce. They binned their OC recently, and sometimes teams go on a two or three game streak after binning a coach. Happened to us in 2010.

 

[RustyBourneHorse]

I don’t even think the situation is bleak. So much can happen in the next few weeks. Philly is a really good team. I don’t think they are exceptional and against good comp, their win/loss is a toss up. If Dallas holds serve, they will catch them but they have to hold serve starting Thursday. This is a better team when they chase.

I agree with that, and if worst comes to worst, maybe we can beat them in the playoffs. It really comes down to matchups, and I think we are the league's best hope at preventing Philly from winning it all.

I'm going to give you a clue as to the outcome of this season. Do you really think that the Commish is going to let the Cowboys into another SB as long as Jerry is kicking? The refs will decide the ending of the Cowboys in the end and most of the internet who hates the Cowboys will rejoice.

Playing the Bills on the road in the winter is not for the faint of heart...

Then why be a fan? It might end that way, and, tbh, I do sort of expect that. However, something feels a bit different. I think Jerry putting Jimmy in the ROH against the Lions might be the jolt the team needs at the right time.

 

[KingCorcoran]

People are just assuming the Eagles aren't really that good and will lose, while we are world beaters and will win out. Those are tough orders.

Yes. That is what we all think. And why not? We might as well be positive and full of it rather than be negative and full of it.

 

[RustyBourneHorse]

Of course, especially with our track record on the road. However, if Allen keeps being a turnover machine, who knows.

Sure Cowboys fans on a fan forum can argue, comming to another teams forum trying ball sack posters is gonna get you both barrells and is the very defintion of one who lives under the bridge...

Jerry tried to get the Commish replaced and he took the Commish to court. The Commish doesn't forget or forgive anything. You must know that by now.

And the Eagles O-line was "exposed" by the Chiefs because they have a very good defense this year (as opposed to last year when they relied on their offense).

 

[Sydla]

What are you going to say when they beat Seattle and Philly?

Seattle is kind of a middling team at this point, that's a game they should win. It's also at home.

And again, it doesn't matter what they do in the regular season, at this point, with this franchise it's simply about January where they have continually failed over and over.

 

[Kingofholland]

The division is not lost yet. I know it looks bleak, but I don't think the division is settled yet. The Eagles still have to play SFO and us (along with Seattle prior to us). If they lose both games to us and SFO, then I think we can still win the division if we are level with them on record. They'd be level with us on conference and division losses in that situation. It'd go down to some very deep tiebreakers, but, assuming we win all of our remaining games, and they lose two of the next three games (including against us), then I think the division is still possible for us to win. Will it be easy? No. But is it possible? Yes

Until the math says otherwise absolutely its possible the Cowboys can still win the division. Margin for error is narrowing, but there is a 2 game difference with 7 to go.

Do you know me? Anyway, I see your point. If I change my profile photo to a cowboys star and say "Dak can't win the big game" and "Jerry Jones needs to hire a real GM like Howie Roseman", that would be better... Got it.
