What record will Dallas need when Zeke returns

[Jkyle]

It looks like 10-6 may be the worst record to have to secure at least a Wild Card spot.
The Rams loss may play a big factor in determining the Cowboys playoff eligibility.
So I think 2 losses at most during Zeke's absence is needed.

 

[canters]

I will be pleased if we only lose 2 of the next 6.

 

[robjay04]

7-6 will give us a chance.

We can lose our next 3, beat San Diego, Washington and NYG and I think we have a decent chance.l and that’s realistic.

 

[Broges74]

4-2 is the target for me. 3-3 may sink us. Meaning 8-5 leaves us in the hunt but 7-6 means we need to win out and it will take Zeke a game or two to get back on track.
Win Cheifs (Down to the last second win or bigtime loss)
Loss Falcons (Julio and Freeman eat us up)
Win Eagles (Need this game)
Win Chargers (Easiest win)
Win Skins (Hard to sweep but they might be packing it in by then)
Loss Giants (Dak struggles against them)

KC-- L I thought KC was a better team than us and a bad matchup before Zeke went out.

ATL-- W Talented, but not very good. Matt Ryan is the kind of QB our defense can actually play well against (pure pocket passer; doesn't take many risks)

PHI-- L Anything can happen in div games, but the Eagles are a better team than a Zeke-less Cowboys.

SD-- W but a lot harder than people are giving credit for.

WSH-- W. If the refs don't give them points it'll be another one of those games that seems close at times but Dallas ultimately wins by more than a score.

NYG-- ? This is where we'll really need to hope for some luck. The Giants are terrible. But they hate us and play us well and will have nothing to lose here.

2-4 and we're done
3-3 would make things murky
4-2 and we're alive any kicking

I am looking at these 6 games and while there are a few good offenses, we actually have a pass rush right now...so, I can see a pass rush messing with ALL of these teams....4-2 is my target, but they should be competitive in all of them....

 

[Howboutdemcowboys31]

We're other missing the playoffs or winning the super bowl. I literally feel that way

You may be numerically correct but you have to take other factors into consideration

If we lose the next 3 team morale will be very very low and I doubt we win the next 3

I hope that we play KC tough and then beat Atlanta (who we should beat) then play the eagles and even if we lose it might not be the end of the world because the next 3 will be very winnable games

I think it comes down to whether the coaching staff can keep the morale of the players up and whether Dak, OL and defense can come to play

Agree
Of the next 6 the only teams that are likely to beat us would be KC and eagles

 

[crashintonickdm]

if they lose against the giants then lol

 

[bodi]

2-4 and we're done

 

[Primetime42]

Just win the next one.

 

[Tabascocat]

Have to go 3-3 at worst but that means they have to run the table for a wildcard chance. 10-6 may not get it done though, so Dallas can only afford to lose two of the next six in reality.

Take it one game at a time...........

I agree for the most part but we are not losing to the Giants. By the time we play them, most of the Gints players will have their U-Hauls ready to go.

 

[BHendri5]

I say 10-3, no worse than 8-5

 

[SportsGuru80]

6-0! Sike... I'll say 3-3 hopefully.

 

[Doomsay]

Much rather tank than go 8-8 again.

 

[Cebrin]

A winning record would be nice.

 

[WillieBeamen]

7-6

We lose to Falcons, Eagles, and Chargers.

Andy Reid knows us well. Alex Smith will run when we lose contain and Kelcie is going to eat up Jones. It's a bad matchup for us but I'm holding out hope we can keep it close and use their poor run defense to keep them in catchup mode.

Honestly I see that game as the one we could get blown out but for the sake of having to come here and see 10s of Dak Sucks threads, I'm going with the Boys to pull it out late.
