At 2pm today Green Bay was losing by 11 points. The Eagles were losing by 8 point and couldn't move the ball. The perfect scenario was Eagles losing and Green Bay losing. That way the Packers may just pack it in and shelve Rogers next week thinking they can't catch the Lions.

So much for that. The Cowboys better bring it to Chicago.

Yup. They better bring it every game.

There is little room for error.

It's because everybody can see Philly is hot. They looked like dog crap early, but after the crap calls got a TD and took over. McCoy became McCoy, and not afraid of the snow. We need to step up our game.

Oh god what?? Is this a cryptogram? I just heard about these the other day, I have no idea how to solve it, sadly lol

As long as the Cowboys can solve things with wins...all will be well....

I think the ones that are losing hope are the ones who are counting on other teams to fall apart over trusting our team to win.

I believe our boys will win the division and that sick feeling some people have after watching Philly today will go away in about 24 hrs.

It's because most fans (not just Cowboys fans) fall into the reactionary crowd. The Saints blow us out, they're the team to beat. The Seahawks blow out the Saints, they're the team to beat. The 49ers beat the Seahawks and it looks like the Saints are going to beat the Panthers, now the Saints are the "it" team again. Eagles win, Eagles win the division, season's over, negative posters churn the post counts. Cowboys beat the Bears tomorrow night, Cowboys will win the division! Cowboys lose tomorrow night, season's over. Some fans live on extremes.

I actually (not just saying this, I'm being completely sincere) feel sorry for the Cowboys fans who are so miserable they cannot enjoy any part of a season that does not involve winning a Super Bowl. It's really easy to point out negatives about the team, but it is really sad how many people are so miserable that the thought of anyone else enjoying a Cowboys game infuriates them to such a degree that they post the same player/coach/owner hate over and over again.

This team is not a Super Bowl caliber team, but so what? It's too late to fix anything for this season. You really only have two options if you want to enjoy the rest of the NFL season .. either stop watching or continuing supporting the team knowing the expectations are low this year.

What has really changed from yesterday to tonight? Nothing.....I expected Philly to beat Detroit in Philadelphia. I expected to go into tomorrow nights game behind them and get a win to re-take the lead.

Week 17 will decide who goes on and nothing between now and the end of the Skins game will effect the outcome. Sure, there is a chance that Dallas loses to Chi and either GB or Wash before then while the Eagles run the table but those are slim chances.

If Dallas loses two of the next three, then I don't care if they make the playoffs or not........they will not be a team worthy of extra games anyways. Just take care of business in December, the rest will sort itself out.

I agree with all but the last thing you said. I don't really think there is such thing as a "Super Bowl Caliber Team". To me, there are playoff caliber teams, and from then on, it's a dog fight to get to the big game. So in short, I think we CAN win the Super Bowl because we CAN make the playoffs and every team in the playoffs can win the Super Bowl

I'm not saying the Cowboys are incapable of winning a Super Bowl this year. I'm just saying that right now, the odds are heavily against it. If they are fortunate enough to make the playoffs, I'll be rooting for them every game no matter the odds.

don't forget AP being carted off the field, so he'll most likely miss the Eagles game.

Why are you relying on other teams to help the Cowboys out?????? This is bananas, it's real simple just win out and everything will take care of itself!

Chicago is next on the list to get beat!
