As I look at the schedule, I would say Dallas SHOULD win the Arizona, Detroit and St. Louis games.
I would not expect a win over Philly (don't see a sweep), Denver or Carolina (bad matchup).
The rest (NYG, KC, Wash) should be close, hard-fought games. How the Cowboys perform in those games I would see as the difference between a 7-9 season and a 10-6 season.

Time will tell, but they are very average at best right now.

The team needs to concentrate on AZ and not let this loss effect morae, or this week's preparation - and we will be 5-3 at the bye, which most of us seemed to think attainable.
But then after the bye we have to turn it up a notch, a big notch. Other teams won't be standing still...my biggest worry is the oline...and if we are going to go with TT and Rob as bookends, how their development can be fast forwarded, and how the entire line functions as a unit.

Well said B. I'm scared to death of the o-line at this point. And Tucker doesn't scare me as much as some of the other positions.

I think Pettiti had an off day, but that's expected as a rookie. No one looked to click. Actually, Allen laid some smooth blocks. Tucker looked pretty good against Wistrom most of the day, with and without help. Pettiti just seemed to have a mental lapse.
I think we will beat Arizona. 5-3 at the bye doesn't look half bad. This defense will work out the kinks. I hate to see this trend of giving up games like this, however, there are otehr little factors that are putting us in this position (CORTEZ!!)

A team that is 10 points away from being 7-0 is not "very average."SacredStar said:

Today, along with the last two games previous, showed that we will be IN each and every game down to the final second.
If we can find a way to pull these games out instead of let them slip away, then we will make the playoffs. There isn't a game on our schedule that we CAN'T win... that said, we're probably a couple plays away from losing any given game as well.

This same team is exactly 10 points away from being 1-6, so I beg to differ.
Dallas beat San Diego by 4, beat San Francisco by 3, and beat NY by 3.
If you take the 10 point spread in losses, you must also take into account the 10 point spread in wins.
They have only played 1 game where they showed they can be above average, and that was vs. Philadelphia. The other 6 games could have gone either way, by 10 points.
