They are the current NFC east champs and last year they went on a 8 game run to do it. Im not worried about the Eagles as much as these guys. They toughest games will be at home(Niners,Chiefs and us). I'm just waiting for somebody to bury 'em already.
 
Giants are a threat too dont leave them out. Giants will win the next 2 games most likely.
 
Judging from our last three performances I see us finishing 3-4 at best. Other teams are improving, and us stagnating for the most part, I don't think it looks good.
 
The Washington Team plays the Vikes this Thursday. We will get a good indication from that game how the Cowboys and the Washington Team stand at this juncture.
 
Giants are my biggest concern. That front four can get hot and make a mess in our division. I don't see Washington beating KC and SF, which leaves them at 8 losses.
 
Is it safe to say that 9 weeks into the season, the most impressive win by any NFC East team is a home win over the Chargers?
 
The Commanders should be the team we worry about. After playing the Giants week 1, I commented at how stunned I was to see that roster constructed so poorly. I mean Dan Connors starting? They have always been a team that was built around a 4 man pass rush. And that DL is not good. They are famous for good TE play. And there TE play is not good. There secondary is not good. I could go on and on...but they started the season 0-6 for a reason.

We get the Eagles in Dallas so I am not worried about them. The last time we played them they scored 3 points...and this defense has no business holding ANYONE to 3 points.

But the Commanders LOVE to play/beat/focus on Dallas. They are quite confident when it comes to Dallas....in spite of the overall W/L record against us. So they are chomping at the bit to walk us down. They don't even care if they win a playoff game. Just being able to say they won the division after spotting us a couple of games will give Mike Shannahan a contract extension and have Commander nation dacning in the streets. We have NO one but ourselves to blame for this. The situation with our DL, which in turn has led to dismal pressure on the opposing QB, which has led to historic passing yards given up by this defense....is only going to get worse. Should have tucked away 2 more wins when we had the chance.

The Giants are not getting hot. That front four which half or most isn't even there is not what it once was. The Giants are a bad football team. Accept this fact.

Not a better indication than when Dallas beat them...

Well, take away the two big returns by Harris and that game could have been a slugfest. It could be said that we got lucky in a sense that we beat Wash and Philly when they were at their worst. Hopefully, we will see them at their worst again. Although, I doubt both Wash and Philly play as bad as they did against us the first time.

Yeah, I have yet to understand this sure NYG win reasoning too. Sure the ole "any given Sunday" something can happen but the Giants have beat Josh Freeman in a new offense and Matt Barkley in his first start in the last two games, neither exactly Aaron Rodgers. But, I assume maybe it's best for some to expect the worst that Giants, Commanders, and Eagles will keep winning and then LOL @ them for continuing to lose and be below .500.

Of our 3 opponents in our division they are our biggest threat. They have the best front on defense than te Eagles and Commanders. Our game against them in a few weeks will be big.

No they aren't. How are they? They are 2-6 and their two wins were against Minnesota and Philly with Matt Barkley. They've been terrible this season. On offense and defense.
 
Right now the Commanders are a serious threat they beat a good Chargers team and RG3 is only getting better. He didint have much confidence in his knee and you could tell but that is changing every game.

*Also help out a fellow Cowboys fan by checking out the members forums and liking the facebook picture. Should take 10 seconds. Only 1 hour left!!! Thanks*

2-6, but they also have played us closer than both Philly and Wash. I'm not writing them off.

Honestly with Garrett's coaching record of flopping down the stretch, we should be worried about all 3 of them.
