Win 2-3 and remaining division games to stay alive

[DallasDomination]

Looking at the schedule of the NFC East it's safe to say 9-7 wins the East with a potential tie breaker. However we have to beat the Eagles and both match ups against the Commanders to give us the tie break edge.

Looking at the remaining schedule of our Rivals you can see realistically most of them will go no more than 8-9 wins.

Anyone who watched lastnight's game and believes we can still go 9-7 is living a fantasy, honestly. This team is baaaad.

It is still remotely possible.

true. but at the same time so is the rest of the division. eagles are starting to get banged up, hardy is going to put a new one into peters. and hopefully dez is back by then

Must beat Philly and take either TB or SEA game.

TB is our best shot at winning.

SEA defense isn't the same but are offense isn't at full strength so I give that battle to SEA. It's also vice versa when we match our defense to their offense. This will be a nail biter.

Philly has 4 losses with their starters. Their offense is too predictable. A 20-17 type score wouldn't surprise me either with us winning.


One game at a time. SEA is on deck with 10 days rest and Philly will coming off a BYE. We need to eliminate TOs.

Dallas has a chance vs the buccs but thats it. Imo. It would be a tall task to win 4 or 5 of the last 7 games also. Too many good teams down the stretch to expect a team that hasn't really played together this year to make a big run like that.

I think the Eagles game is 50/50. Sam Bradford is no better than Cassell.

I don't think the offense can keep up.

Anyone that says we beat anybody..... Is delusional until we ACTUALLY beat somebody.

Yesterday, we found yet again, another to beat OURSELVES..... that is the one team we can't beat right now!

If we didn't allow a ST TD.... But WE DID
If we can minimize TO's........ But WE DIDN'T

We are not a disciplined team.... It starting to really show

An implosion is on the horizon.....little things are starting to show on our mindset

Too many "ifs"!

Looking at the Giants schedule, other than the Pats and Panthers they are all very winnable games for them.

Dez and Romo are not going to fix special teams and I'm hearing the earliest Romo can come back is Miami.

Cassel's arm is no good on deep balls. Williams had the secondary beat heading toward the end of the end zone but Cassel couldn't get it there and put one up for a pick. Loss of points there.

Throwing to the sidelines he was almost picked off twice and did cough up a pick six. He doesn't have the arm to zing the ball the way it needs to be zinged. It's not entirely his decision making. He has to make those throw in games and unfortunately he doesn't have the arm to do it.

In saying this, you cannot improve the guys arm strength and it is what it is. Who knows how well # 9 can play once he, if he, gets back. Weeks 11 or 12 he is scheduled to come back. Hopefully its still worth it to trot him out there.

We lose to Seattle and who knows if we can keep the score low enough against the Eagles to win it.

That's 2-6 with 3 more weeks minimum until Romo can even play. Miami is not looking to shabby lately.

So if we're 2-8 with 6 more to go and we have to win all 6 just to go 8-8 once Romo comes back?

Boy oh boy!

At that point I would start playing for a top 5 pick. Sorry folks. You didn't wan't to hear about Dez but I was right. He may not even play next week.

You have no choice about week 11 with Romo so just listen and accept it.

If we go 2-8, even 2-6 accept we're toast. You can't expect a QB coming off an injury to go 6-0 in the NFL and to hope 8-8 gets you into the playoffs?

Come on!

I would have to agree.

Their defense is creating just as many turnovers as the offense is giving up though and their special teams definitely is trumping ours.

They also have to 3 viable runner's coming out of that backfield.

I don't buy into any of our rb's.

Agree on Cassel. I think there's some hope though. Like I said we need minimum 2 out the next 3 or else we're talking draft unfortunately.

So we got Seattle, Philly and Tampa our next 3.

I'm going to accept Seattle as a loss after seeing what they did on Thursday night. They lost to some good teams in close games but they are playing with that win at all costs mentality right now and they show it.

Philly is a toss up to me. Tampa, if we can do something about that running game is a game I think e can take.

If we don't start getting help from ST's and our defense does not create any turnovers as the current situation is. We're going to go 1-2 in these next 3 games.

Usually teams start to gel around this time of year and find their identity. This is not an excuse, but because we have had to change so many things on offense and because we had players on suspension and lost to injury for the first quarter of the season, both sides of the ball have not been able to gel yet.

That's why the mental errors, that's why the mistakes in key parts of the game.

The other teams are able to play with a focus and intensity in those key situations that over matches ours because they have been playing together.

I unfortunately do not think we go 2-1 in our next 3 as much as we need to. I hope I am wrong. Seattle I'm going to accept as a loss because they're playing football with a sense of urgency and they got the band playing together right now. We don't.
