We can go 6-2 in the second half & make the playoffs

[Rampage]

if we plan on going 6-2 the rest of the way, we need a better pass rush and romo needs to throw to terry glenn more

 

[pittman11]

We can go 6-2 in the next 8 games. I think we're better than 4-4 (average) and this team has the will to prove it in the second half of hte season. The mark of good teams is how they play in December and I think we'll go 3-1 that month. The team will gel more-and-more as Romo and T.O. get their chemistry down, and the secondary will turn it up a notch to cover most opponents better. Improved line play will help as Ware also takes hig game to a whole new level. Hes been here 1&1/2 seasons and now's his time to take the next step. Here's how I think it will play out.
**

Sun 11/12 @ Arizona 3:15 p.m.
WIN: This game is a gimmee win. We'll have home-field advantage because 3/4 of the population in AZ are Cowboys' fans. The crowd will cheer for Dallas and the Cardinals will fold under Dennis Green.

Sun 11/19 INDIANAPOLIS 3:15 p.m.
LOSS: This game will be a loss. Let's not even argue this one.

Thu 11/23 TAMPA BAY 3:15 p.m.
WIN: Even on a short week, Dallas will bounce-back from an Indy loss to win this game. Tampa Bay is an up-and-down team and they have many holes we can exploit. I just think we're better than they are.

Sun 12/3 @ NY Giants (FOX) Noon
WIN: Dallas finally puts 2 wins together and exposes the NY Giants for their weaknesses because they have more than week to prepare. They will be at home and I just think this team is better than to get swept by any NFC-East team.

Sun 12/10 NEW ORLEANS (FOX) Noon
WIN: The further along the season Sean Payton's offenses go, the more predictable they get. It will be a black-and-white contest for our Defense who are better than their offense. This will be a low-scoring runnung game, but a few big passing plays will edge it in Dallas' favor.

Sat 12/16 @ Atlanta (TXA 21/NFLN) 7:00 p.m.
LOSS: Dallas' defense will contain Vick but he'll scramble enough to make some key connections in the passing game against our secondary. Dallas' 3-game winning streak will come to an end on the road.


Mon 12/25 PHILLADELPHIA 4:00 p.m.
WIN: Dallas bounces back after last week's loss. After facing Vick, handling a similar, but not as good offense in Philly will prompt Dallas' defense to shut Philly down. Again, I just think this team is better than to get swept by any NFC-East team and TO will finally have a "Get-Your-Popcorn-Ready" performance that will render Philly's previous win over Dallas meaningless.


Sun 12/31 DETROIT Noon
WIN: Come-on it's Detriot. This is a gimme win. Dallas will need this win to make the playoffs, and Detroit will try to play spoiler, but Detroit is not good-enough to BE a spoiler, especially travelling on the road. Dallas enters the playoffs on a 2-game winning streak.

i agree look at last year i think we were 7 & 2 and ended up 9 & 7 and didn't make the playoffs that was with bledsoe now we have romo and we are 4 & 4 yes i think we can go 6 & 2 and make the playoffs this team will get it together and finish 10 & 6 here comes the cowboys lead by romo and to

A more accurate picture would probably be 3-5 at best, no playoffs.


Sun 11/12 @ Arizona 3:15 p.m.
WIN: AZ has two top flight receivers. Wonder if they've seen everybody beat Dallas deep? I call it a win, but I'm not going to be surprised if it goes south.

Sun 11/19 INDIANAPOLIS 3:15 p.m.
LOSS: Manning sets a record for passing yards, (probably at least 700 ), Dallas DB's get flagged 63 times for pass interference.

Thu 11/23 TAMPA BAY 3:15 p.m.
PUSH: Short week, hangover. Galloway has a big day (going deep against Dallas non-safeties). Dallas might get some homefield advantage but I wouldn't bet on it.

Sun 12/3 @ NY Giants (FOX) Noon
LOSS: Romo might make a difference in a whole game, but this is going to be against a Giants team with serious playoff aspiration at their stadium. They should be healthy by then.

Sun 12/10 NEW ORLEANS (FOX) Noon
LOSS: New Orleans is good, and by this time they'll be challenging for a playoff spot. The Cowboys will be reeling, mired in mediocrity.The wheels will be coming completely off the Cowboy wagon and hearses will receive special parking places at Texas Stadium for the rest of the year. What would you give for Sean Payton now?

Sat 12/16 @ Atlanta (TXA 21/NFLN) 7:00 p.m.
LOSS: Dallas wilts on a national stage. Romo uncorks the HULK and goes 11 for 28 with 4 interceptions.

Mon 12/25 PHILLADELPHIA 4:00 p.m
WIN: Dallas pulls one out of its butt and comes to play. Philly takes this game lightly and doesn't show up.

Sun 12/31 DETROIT Noon
LOSS: Anybody remember last year, with a shot at the playoffs. This year everybodys ready to call it a season.

It can be done but will it?

Our team needs to get mentally tough in a hurry.

 

[LD Fan]

I wish I could be as optimistic as a lot of you but I say 8-8. What line of logic are you using to think we go 6-2? What have you seen that will magically change? Just becasue you want it to and hope?

This team has serious focus problems and that's the kiss of mediocrity for an athletically talented team. And that's what we have.

 

[Daudr]

Here's the thing - a 10-6 record could very well not be enough to get into the playoffs considering our 1-3 NFCE record so far.
