Now lets take care of business on Thanksgiving.

We are at home.
The Raiders are sorry.
This is a game we win if we are contenders and not pretenders.

No excuses, "JUST WIN BABY"

Yes its the easiest game left but we can lose this. The eagles will lose to the cardinals this week too.

We will win. I believe Arizona exposes Philly for what they really are. They have a swarming defense and a damn good secondary.

Philly has a better chance of beating Arizona than the Raiders do against us. I am still not convinced of a Palmer led team!

I know some Eagles fans, weeks ago, were proclaiming the Cardinals game as an easy win. Not anymore.

In the not so distant past, the Cowboys would be coming off an emotional win, heading into a game versus a below average team; fans would be riding high and looking ahead at the playoff picture (myself included); the Cowboys would be feeling good and coach/JJ would talk of a good week of practice. Then the unthinkable happens--the game gets outta hand as soon as the first kickoff. We're outplayed, out-coached, out-hussled, and beaten. Sounds all too familiar.

This is a winnable game, but I've seen this scenario play out too many dang times for me to start proclaiming 7-5 while looking ahead at Chicago and the remaining schedule. This team has a lot to prove yet. Can they do it? You bet they can. But prove it to me first!

No easy games in the NFL, but some are more winnable than others.

This is our best chance for a "W" out of our remaining 5 games.

We blow this chance, and I would say we are not worthy of the playoffs.

Your absolutely right. Nothing fires a team up more than everyone writing them off.Cowboys vs Broncos for example. I don't think the Cowboys will give this game up but with the defense starting new D lineman every week and shuffling corners and linebackers around anyone could show up and move the ball and low and behold what if the offense sputters or has a TO at the wrong time? Don't know if Harris is gonna bring a return game or his tackling on ST.

This would be the ideal game to go to. The Cowboys (should) really start to show some serious offensive assults on the weak Raiders pass D and not have to sit around eating turkey necks trying to hear the game over my crazy aunts alcoholic rants about how terrible her alimony check is.

I don't think the Cowboys are contenders lol. No one in the NFC east is winning a playoff game imo. However, if we want to get there, Beating the Raiders is a must.

Meh. People said the same thing last week before we played the G-Men.
To lose against the Giants would have been to lose to a divisional foe that had a worse record than us, so that would have been devastating.
To lose against the Raiders would be pretty terrible as well given their record and that we are at home.
We cannot afford to give any games away from here on out if we are serious about winning the NFC East.

I don't think there's a team in this division that's worthy of the playoffs.
I'm having a hard time thinking of more than 5 or 6 in the entire NFL

Denver, NE, NO, Seattle, KC....Car? Cinci? Dallas?

This is just an overall bad year for the NFL. The product is way down.
