we haven't shown we are a playoff team yet

Neither have the Bears, Eagles, Giants, or Rams. What is your point?

IMO, only the Commanders and Seahawks have shown this. They beat the Jags and Giants. You could make a case for the Giants, but the Eagles were not a playoff team last year and are unlikely to make the playoffs this year. The Bears beat the Seahawks without Alexander.

A win is a win. They are 6-0 and their schedule is largely a cake walk for the rest of the season. Good teams find ways to win games like this.
The Eagles, Cowboys, Falcons, and Saints would all be undefeated with that schedule. Also, if it were the Cowboys tonight who barely beat the Cardinals, you would see tons of sky is falling threads and Bledsoe must be benched threads.

Honestly it just boils down to parity, Seattle doesn't frighten me in the least but they'll be in the mix of it all as will Chicago and Philly, all can be beaten by a Cowboy team that comes prepared to play a full game.

I think they are bad, but the fact is, they effectively pressured Leinart. Leinart is just already good enough to get the ball out within 3 seconds. If our QB plays that game, he resembles Grossman more than anything.

We lose to the bears.
If the Bears played like they did tonight, the Cowboys would kill them. The Cowboys are much better defensively and can actually run the ball.

Yep, Dallas has the personnel to win but execution is that secret ingredient. Otherwise Dallas can play anybody anywhere in today's NFL, no one is notabley superior except when it comes to execution.

I have never saw a real Cowboy fan, say we would lose to a teamthat barely beat the worst franchise in sports history.... therefore u think we have o shot at winning anything because if we play Chicago in the NFC championship u would bet on Chicago..... U should just be a BEars fan.......

The BEars will be able to rest their starters by week 13. But they are definetely beatable in the playoffs

Im down on Bledsoe, and so is almost anyone else, but how can you not be concerned about Rex Grossman? That wasnt even a big time defense and he looked like a joke.

Nobody says that when we win ugly against bad teams. Then it's "We should have won by at least four touchdowns. Good teams are going to kill us."

Of course, if this were the Cowboys many homers here would be saying that we're a team of destiny because we can mess up for 58 minutes and then win a game in the last minutes.

The Bears are the class of the NFC.

Just because they had a down game doesn't mean they aren't. They won that game despite getting nothing from their offense.

Don't think the Cowboys defense could do that.

I call BS on this. If we won in this fashion the board would be in a near shamble and you know it.

The Bears need to win a playoff game before they can call themselves the class of the NFC. You saying it doesn't make it any more of a fact than my disputing it makes the statement null and void.

The Bears have a lot to prove yet, as does almost every NFC contender. Hence, the conference is wide open IMO.

I just want to know when was the last time the Cowboy defense has scored 14 points, and there was a punt return for a touchdown IN THE SAME MONTH, let alone the same night.

if they play as ineptly as they did on offense against even an average team they lose this game.

Let the Bears be paper champions for now. In december I doubt that will be the case.

That the NFL is fixed and there was too much money riding on this game for Chicago to lose?

Wouldn't you rather play the game first? You have to play the games to find out. Guess what? We can beat the Bears. Guess what? The Bears can beat us.

What are you, a vulcan? What's the point of being a fan if you can't go ape**** hysterical after every game?

Simply, they are not the heads and shoulders above the rest of the conference as much as ESPN will spin it.

They are beatable. any team that has a pulse wins the game tonight.

a healthy Seattle team can beat them.

So can:
Dallas
Philly
NYFG
CAR


The lesson learned today boys and girls is that this conference is still wide open and the Boys have as good a shot as anybody.
I thought the farce was the fact that Arizona was winning the game to begin with. Chicago should have won and they did.
