Game by game
Detroit has an outstanding offense. Their defense gives up a lot.It was a big win against the Steelers, but we need to move on from it. Detroit is a better team and it’s going to be back to doom and gloom if we lose that game. Currently we’re 3-0 on the road and 0-2 at home. Our home field advantage has disappeared. The Cowboys had won 16 straight regular season games at home prior to the loss to the Saints in week two. Things have gone sour at home and now we’re underdogs to the Lions at home on Sunday. We have to get off to a fast start against the Lions. We can’t afford to let them jump on us early.
Didn't you already tell us in your Dak hero thread?
Their offense is a concern. They rank 3rd in total offense and 6th in rushing.Detroit has an outstanding offense. Their defense gives up a lot.
Huge.3-2 looks like the season is still on. 2-3 looking at 2-4 square in the face heading into bye begins to light the 3 Alarm dumpster fire.
3-3 we can handle and survive. And heading to 2-3 SF after the bye doesn’t look quite as daunting as before the season.
3-2 has kept playoff hopes alive. 2-4 facing 2-5 I’d argue season was basically over. And the collapse begins.
As always the NFL is a week by week league. You’re only as good as your last game. Right now we have our heads above water at 3-2. And not on life support yet.
Then you look at their defense that gave up around 560 yards last week.Their offense is a concern. They rank 3rd in total offense and 6th in rushing.
We could be looking at a shootout. We better hope our offense is clicking. I’m not real confident our defense is going to be able to hold up against them.Then you look at their defense that gave up around 560 yards last week.
For a real conversation, its going to be based on the injuries. Right now does it move the needle for the playoffs? No, Does it instill anything else? Nope, because the next loss will wipe it away and its not like we are looking at a winning streak. Do we have confidence we can beat teams that would normally beat us? Also no.3-2 looks like the season is still on. 2-3 looking at 2-4 square in the face heading into bye begins to light the 3 Alarm dumpster fire.

Did you already tell us he sucks. And that we would lose to Pittsburgh.Didn't you already tell us in your Dak hero thread?
If they can go 3-3 the next 6 and be 6-5 id be ecstatic.3-2 looks like the season is still on. 2-3 looking at 2-4 square in the face heading into bye begins to light the 3 Alarm dumpster fire.

Right. It doesn’t necessarily move the needle towards the playoffs but it definitely staves off the potential of a collapse if we lose the next couple games which we’ll be underdogs in as well against arguably much tougher opponents.For a real conversation, its going to be based on the injuries. Right now does it move the needle for the playoffs? No, Does it instill anything else? Nope, because the next loss will wipe it away and its not like we are looking at a winning streak. Do we have confidence we can beat teams that would normally beat us? Also no.
What does affect the win? The injuries and how the team does with the band aids, most of us feel for it the first week, after some losses and realization popped in, we saw the team for what it was. I do have 2 surprise wins on the final record, this was one of them. Now we see if MM can hold the team together.
That definitely would keep us in the hunt for the playoffs.If they can go 3-3 the next 6 and be 6-5 id be ecstatic.
