There's nothing wrong with 3-3

[Diehardblues]

I think most saw us at 2-4 headed into the bye . And all of the negative rhetoric which would have followed. Our big surprising upset of Pittsburgh on the road provides us some leeway.

3-3 is manageable. If you’d of told me 3-3 with our schedule heading into season , I’d of took it.

We need to be rooting hard for Balt today. A win by Ravens and we are still only 1 game back in division, assuming we lose of course. And if Egirls win only a half game behind them. I don’t give Browns much chance.

So all in all not a bad place to be . We still have both games left with Wash & Phil ( who doesn’t look daunting )and another game with NY. Also have Atlanta, Tampa and Carolina left. Cinn and SF which I had chalked as losses aren’t as worrisome as originally thought. Houston may be like a road game for us. Im not interesting in dissecting these just a broad speculation.

I see potentially 5 or 6 more wins . We should still be in playoff hunt and maybe division. 8-10 wins( yea 10 is probably a little option right now) keeps us alive .

Who knows . If we get everyone back healthy maybe we could make a run. Not that we’d do much in playoffs but better to have meaningful games than not. No reason to get down after a loss today. No shame in losing to better teams .

3-3. Then 3-4 after the bye. We all know it.

The problem really is that this is an NFC game, which means it matters more than the Steelers game in that respect since that is a high level tiebreaker.

A loss would give the Lions a head-to-head tiebreaker advantage and would further lower the Cowboys NFC record.

The Cowboys have 3 wins this year .. 2 of the 3 have been against AFC opponents, so in the NFC, they are currently 1-1.

Of course the season is not over if they lose today, but it would really help if they win this game.

Throwing in the towel before noon?

Good post but the Cowboys win over Pittsburgh wasn't an upset. And there won't be a loss today to be unashamed of. Just gotta take one game at a time and treat each game as a crucial one. No half measures. Always play to win. Go Cowboys!!!!!

Celebrating 3-3 sounds very Garrett-like.

Can’t wait for two weeks worth of Jerry pumping sunshine on it.

In fairness, this part of the schedule is rough, and I’m about convinced that anything can happen in this league.

Meh, Lions pound the rock and our Dline is compromised to say the least. I think they'll just ground us into saw dust.

Nothing “wrong” with 3-14 either LOL

The issue is the fans have so little confidence in this team beating top end teams that they start creating the narrative that a loss is OK before kickoff.

I’m just trying to get out in front of all of the negative rhetoric after a loss today.

There’s no shame in losing to better teams.

On Any Given Sunday always applies. But there's nothing wrong with fans expecting to lose . We don’t have to snap the ball.

Of course it was an upset. We were underdogs.

Why would we expect to win today?

That’s very likely. Good news is we have Falcons following with a better opportunity to get back to .500

Of course . But as fans we don’t have to watch expecting to win.

No one is picking or expecting us to win.

But we are losers

“Assuming we lose” is where you lost me. I’m not going to assume we lose to an average team at home.

 

[The Natural]

Why would we expect to win today?

Highest paid QB in the league, second highest paid WR in the league, at home where we have yet to show up.

 

[Blackspider214]

3-3 would mean 3 home losses. 4 in a row dating back to the GB playoff game. That isn't good.

This game is very important as it can have to do with playoff seeding later on if we are to be playoff bound. Detroit definitely looks like they are.
