What if we beat Atlanta Falcons?

Detroit looks like they’ll throttle anyone that makes the playoffs this year. Not sure what good it would do other than a moral victory for Jerry to think we are close.

Once this team starts playing like a team as a unit, games will be won , regular season and playoffs.
Still too many games left to play and too many things can and will happen this season.

Well, if Atlanta is one of those teams that plays down to the level of their opponent then maybe it happens. It's going to take a lot more than beating the falcons to make me think this Cowboys team has any hope

Then we will get another one of these pie in the sky what if posts for Philly. This team isn't going anywhere.

Atlanta isn’t even that good. Our (or Dak’s) issue is playing good teams.

Agreed they are 15th in offensive rushing yards and 22nd in defensive rushing yards - those are the two indicators that we have struggled against and they are mediocre at best.

They have been really good in their own division and it's a big part they look as good as they do.

This is not as tough a match up as SF nor Philly next week and certainly a game I wouldn't be shocked to see dallas win if dak plays decent and the defense simply does what they did last week.

Meant the boys at 3-6 if lose next to falcons not falcons record now.
If the Cowboys lose to the Falcons the Cowboys’ record will be 3-5. They can win this weekend. They can also beat the Eagles. Both games will be competitive. I’ve got the Cowboys, Packers and Jets winning this weekend. Not ready to throw in the towel on Dallas, yet.

after seven games you pretty much know how a team is going
our Run D and Run O is pathetic; our O line is struggling Badly; cannot see how anyone thinks this team is going to make the playoffs let alone make any noise there

Will see what happens, love to see a run game from us.

We won't, and if we did it wouldn't matter because they'll flop the following week. These guys don't have what it takes to string together a few wins straight.

Yeah I don't believe I've ever seen a team rank dead last in running AND run defense.

Getting to 4-4 on the season would keep our playoff hopes alive. Can we beat Atlanta? Yes. Will we? Only if this organization stops being stupid and starts playing real football!! This season is starting to look like a lost cause and I’m as pissed as the next guy, but a win over Atlanta would at least make things interesting and we could end up playing meaningful football on Thanksgiving. Depends on you Cowboys! Step up before it’s too late!!
If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about, don’t deal in lies,
Or being hated, don’t give way to hating,
And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise:

If you can dream—and not make dreams your master;
If you can think—and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build ’em up with worn-out tools:

If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breathe a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: ‘Hold on!’

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings—nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it,
And—which is more—you’ll be a Man, my son!
