There is an opening for Dallas to take the division

[TWOK11]

It appears Philadelphia's offense is going to struggle mightily to protect Wentz without Peters, SF already has 4 sacks and the offense looks fairly anemic given the opponent.

Moreover, they are about to enter a very tough 5 game stretch including games at Dallas, Seattle and LA.

If we can string some wins together we could be tied in a hurry.

You forgot the Bears, 9ers, and Broncos at home.

Broncos are our only chance.

Meanwhile our schedule is brutal for over a month.

I think we've lost the division.

Our only hope is if we go on a 4 game win streak because Philly is about to go 3-1 this month and we will probably be 2-2.

 

[toto1939]

The Eagles are really scaring me...NOT!

Let's take care of business today against Washington, then worry about next week, and so on...

 

[Sydla]

It's pretty crappy weather in Philly so I wouldn't put a ton of stock in how effective or not they are.

Teams have been hitting Wentz all year long so this is nothing new and they still are winning games.

Eagles OL seems to struggle with blitzes................. hello, Mr. Marinelli............... I can't wait for our 3 man rush, 8 deep zone against Philly.

If the Cowboys win the rest of their games they win the division so until that doesn’t happen they have not lost the division.

I mean look where the Giants were last year they were right there until they lost to the Eagles late in the season

 

[superonyx]

Of course I’m always hoping for an Eagles loss.
But with our defense being so bad so far this year I am not thinking seriously about the division unless we can win the next 2 or 3 straight.

If our defense can be respectful enough and we can beat a team with a real QB then I’ll get excited. Until then I don’t love our chances against Matt Ryan, Alex Smith, Wentz....

Even going into the playoffs knowing you need to score every time you get the ball just doesn’t feel like a good ending in the making.

 

[CODE_BLUE56]

I mean, they're up 17-0 on 49ers at half. Could be better I guess, but....

 

[Proximo]

Their O line is poop.

I have no idea why so many people on this board give THAT organization the benefit of the doubt.

They haven't had any post season success in AGES and they've had multiple late season collapses over the last several years.

Our own fans always say stuff like "I'll believe it when I see it", etc, when it comes to Dallas but here we are inexplicably conceding the division to Philly, in October. I mean c'mon.

 

[HungryLion]

The Bears aren’t necessarily a gimme for them. The eagles should win, but the bears have a good defense. So it’s no guarantee.

 

[NorthTexan95]

There's always been an easy path to the division. We're two games back with two games against them remaining. Sweep those two games and match them in the remaining games and the division is ours.

 

[movaughn88]

If we sweep them and go 10-6 or 11-5 then I don’t care if we win the division, that will mean we are closing out the year strong and I’ll take playoffs even if it’s a wc

Maybe not care is too strong, but I will be happy. Big If though.

 

[Tenkamenin]

Glad Pryor missed by why was he so open?

 

[TX_Yid]

There's definitely a chance. Next season.

 

[Jake]

We don't currently need help to catch the Eagles, since we play them twice. If we take care of our own business, we will. If we don't, we won't. Simple as that.

 

[Garrettop]

Raiders are looking much less formidable than they did before the season.

 

[CATCH17]

We don't currently need help to catch the Eagles, since we play them twice. If we take care of our own business, we will. If we don't, we won't. Simple as that.

Yeah... I just wish our business wasn't so difficult.

 

[DFWJC]

I mean, they're up 17-0 on 49ers at half. Could be better I guess, but....

 

[IheartRomo]

2-0 in the division, both games still left against the Eagles. This team is very much still alive and controls its own destiny. Boy, you'd love to have one of those gut wrenchers back vs the Rams/Pack though - the entire season would be different with just one of those breaking Dallas' way.

We play for a chance at this point of getting a Wild Card.

no idea how probable that will be.

Philly has turned the table on us from what we did to them last year.

If Zeke gets his suspension..

dum dee dum dum

Yeah. That helps. They would have probably regressed to the man anyway, but this helps that process along.
