With that in mind what would you do in the remaining regular season games?

Rest Diggs/Bland to see which backup CBs can step up as #3? Otherwise you only see 1 back at a time with only 3 games to find a starting 3rd CB for the playoffs.

Encourage Dak to continue aggressive passing because it does not matter how many INTs he throws in the remaining regular season games.

Move Jason Peters to DT...(just kidding).

Try anybody at LB over Anthony Barr...

Once the 5th seed is solidified rest everyone on defense

we don't have the depth right now to lose anyone else

So you think Zeke will sit out or will he be demanding 25 carries in the last week so he can get his 1000 yards?

Health and momentum are the two most critical assets heading into the playoffs. Preferably we’d like both. But if we have some key players nursing injuries we should rest them if winning the games doesn’t advance our playoff position.

This team isn’t beating any of the playoffs teams. 9ers would physically dominate, eagles will dominate offensively. Aj brown will make his game against tn look like a warm up. Minnesota will hang 50 on this d, Brady is smarter than anyone on this team player or coach and will dink and dunk to some no name player who goes off for 250 scrimmage yards and 3 touchdowns.

3 week plan, rest and recovery. Nothing to be gained yet we could suffer some loss due to injury. Be as prepared as possible once the playoffs begin. We all start 0-0. Regular season is a distant memory.

You know we did play Minnesota this year, remember?

Zeke is the best player on the team...Best in the NFL.

Jerry should give him a pay raise with a new contract.

Give him a contract identical to Dak at 40M per but guarantee it for 10 years.

Thats pretty much what he did. Funny part is your being sarcastic, but thats pretty much what Jerry did and that is what he was saying.

Poor Jerry didnt even know that Zeke wasnt even the best RB on his own team. Very few of us knew.

Regardless of how bad the Cowboys perform, some poster on CZ always pops up to make everyone on the team look like brilliant over-achievers.

Thanks for popping up...

It's about staying healthy and start to play better football.

I get you point in wanting to be the 5 so we play the weakest team, but we'll have to beat SF and Philly eventually so bring em on in any round. I'd do exactly what xwalker said up front and see where the seeding falls, but I'd get fired pretty quickly if I coached because I don't follow the rules.

I feel like we are missing too many pieces in the heart of the defense.

I sure as hell hope they don’t expect the draft is going to fix that, plus the RB situation, and that other playmaking WR they could use.

It CANT be done via draft ONLY. My goodness do they need to wake up from that before this window is squandered.

Relevant questions, especially figuring out the secondary.
The loss of Brown had a significant impact.

theres no easy team in the playoffs

5 is as high as we can go because Philly has the division on lock......im ready for Brady because if we want to do anything in the playoffs we have to finally tuck grandpa in and make sure he doesnt get out of the bed

I don't know that it matters if they are 5 seed or 7 seed. I think they wind up at 5 or 6 no matter what they do their next 3 games. Washington has the 49ers this week and I would be shocked if they beat the 49ers. But the Giants can still lose to the Vikings then win out to pass the Cowboys in the standings. I guess it doesn't matter who they play in the playoffs. It only matters HOW they play. So I guess rest the injured guys and get as healthy as possible for the 1st round of the playoffs.

I definitely want the DL healthy and full of energy.

They seem determined to sign a free agent WR.
They've talked to OBJ and tried to trade for Cooks who is guaranteed 18M next season.

Adding 1 elite player on defense would make a huge difference regardless of position. Preferably a big time DT but an elite CB would be big also.

Adding an elite player on the DL makes other players better because it pushes the #1 player down to #2 in the rotation.

At CB, worst case Bland plays outside and Lewis returns as the Nickel CB.

Sign DT Deron Payne
Sign OBJ to a mid-tier contract.
Draft a CB early.

Set a goal for low number of penalties over the next three games and let's see if they can stay under it.

Figure out your best O Line combo and ride that and the run game.

For the most part bubble wrap Micah. Team has little to no chance unless the best version of him shows up in January.
