What if we beat Atlanta Falcons?

It wasn't very good watching it in person. I've been saying the same thing since the injury bug hit us: We just aren't fielding a good team right now. I know everyone wants to point a finger at a player or a position, but we simply have too many of our best players either out or playing injured. That doesn't work in the NFL. As I noted in the post you responded to, we've already opened as underdogs twice as many games this season as all of last season, and I think it will end up being 3x-4x by the time the season is over. The point of mentioning that is that fully healthy and except for the RB position, we have very much the same personnel as last year. If Micah and company were on the field for the D and our WR/TE corps wasn't banged up, we'd be far more competitive. I know there will be Zimmer v. Quinn comparisons, and they may be justified, but a new D scheme - if it's going to work - takes a few games for the players to perform viscerally, but the D never got that chance before the injuries.

Again, we just don't have a very good team at the moment. I hate it as much as anyone, but I'm not going to complain about it, as it happens to teams in the NFL every year, and it looks like this year is our turn.
Micah is on skates against the run. And WR# 2 and WR#3 for the Cowboys are a bunch of Tito Jacksons healthy or otherwise. Neither would make a difference in the W-L column. See Saints game for proof.

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!!
Go ahead and start your next one - what if we beat the eagles.
