Duderino Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 I thought Romo played really well last night. But I looked at the remaining schedule this morning and still don't think Dallas is any better than 10-6. Assuming they win the next 2 on the road, they have Indy at home the week before Thanksgiving. They are at 6-4 at that point. Then they still have--Philly, NY, New Orleans, and Atlanta. Assume they split these 4. 8-6. Then they have mop up with Detroit, and should beat Tampa. 10-6. Maybe a wild card. If they slip up and lose just one game they should win= 9-6 and home again.

Guest texpal22 Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 if they play like they did last night they will make the playoffs. if they can win the games they are suppose to and maybe pull out a couple more they could win the division. the Giants have a very tough schedule Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TJC_fan Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 If Dallas wins the next two road games against Washington and Arizona, that'll put them at 6-3, with 5 of the next 7 games at home. That happens .... then I think they'll make the playoffs. And the thing is .... those next two games are VERY winnable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tatum_DirtyBird Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 Nooooooooooo.... change your post TJC, you may have just jinxed Da Boys... lol ( but I'm serious ) Seriously though, Arizona has a better chance of beatin the Cowboys... ya know, losing games they should win, winning games they should lose... know what I mean? I think Dallas will be fine on their next 2 road games. If they can win the next two on the road, I think the defense will have some momentum going into the Indy game. Argue if you want, but Dallas can beat Indy. Even if Indy wins, we should be at 6-4 going into Thanksgivin day. I don't see TB beatin Dallas.... 10-6 is very reasonable ..... WE ARE PLAYOFF BOUND Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhino2K Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 Close, but no cigar. 9-7 and Jerry's hairpiece catches on fire. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UG_Sooner Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 They might pull out a wildcard at 9-7 but they will be third in their division. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TJC_fan Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 I see the Cowboys finishing 2nd to the Giants, edging out the Eagles. In fact, beating the Eagles in Dallas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UG_Sooner Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 I see where your coming from, but their inability to capitalize in blow off games and their way of not showing up in big games is what makes me doubt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tatum_DirtyBird Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 Dallas has enough talent to win the East. I still say we make the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shpanther209 Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 the boys will make the playoffs because they are going to tie their already stout d with the fact that the line is going to block and romo is getting t o the ball. i see them 11-5 beating indy thats right i said it.

TJC_fan Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 I'm not too sure about them beating the Colts, but I think that they will beat the Giants and the Eagles in their rematches. Let's see what progress that Romo makes from the Panther game through the Arizona game .... that's two more games with him starting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tatum_DirtyBird Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 I think Dallas can beat the Colts. Indy's defense don't impress me. Don't look for Indy to put up a whole bunch of points against Dallas' impressive D. The only way Indy can win is to put up loads of points and it's still close. Indy vs. Dallas is a different story. I don't see Dallas giving up too many. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TxBroadcaster Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 Originally posted by UG_SoonerI see where your coming from, but their inability to capitalize in blow off games and their way of not showing up in big games is what makes me doubt. This year the Boys are beating all the teams they SHOULD beat and until Carollina could not win the games that could go either way. The next two games are VITAL they should win both, but wont be easy. The Indy game has Dallas upset written all over it because Indy cannot stop the run. I am still not ready to say the Saints are the real deal Baltimore exposed alot of their problems. Atlanta is still an up and down team. I think Dallas has a chance in every game from here on out and a good chance of winning 7 of the 9 with Indy and the Giants being the only games I can say right now they might lose.

EastTexaninHawaii Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 I would say they need to win 3 out of the next 4 in order to make a serious run at the playoffs. The good thing about the Colts game is Romo has a chance to nab 3 road victories to start his career. That would have to be a huge boost to this teams confidence going into that showdown with Peyton. The thing is though there are plenty of pitfalls that this team can fall into along the way. Like the fact they are playing Washington, down or not, its in there house on the road and its Redskins Cowboys. Then you have to avoid looking ahead to Indy the next week vs Arizona, that did have Chicago on the ropes(THEY ARE WHAT WE THOUGHT THEY WERE!). The Indy game speaks for itself. Then possibly a trap game (or if they lose to Indy a hang over game) on a short week vs Tampa. Thats life in the NFL though its never easy even if it looks that way. But, like Tuna says its stretches like this that the games tell you who you are... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThaDeisel Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 they will definitely make the playoffs, but only as a wild card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tatum_DirtyBird Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 I think they have a good shot at winning the division. Just as good a shot as anyone else in THE East. I can't wait till Sunday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DLine06 Posted November 4, 2006 Share Posted November 4, 2006 The big thing is: When will the OLine start blocking some defenders. The big problem is consistency. Spliting wins and losses translaton (8-8) does not get you into the postseason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tatum_DirtyBird Posted November 4, 2006 Share Posted November 4, 2006 Something else to think about. The line is used to Bledsoe being in the backfield. They need to get used to Romo scrambling around. With a little more time together, the line can kind of anticipate what Romo might be doing in the back field and make some better blocks for him..... my wording might not be the best on this post, but I hope ya'll get the point.

WE ARE PLAYOFF BOUND I agree with you on that one. In fact, when my buddies and I wrote out our predictions for the remaining sched. I have them holding serve and finishing 10-6. The Indianapolis /Giants games are the two I have them losing but could win. The Tampa Bay game is a "should win", however I wouldn' t be surprised if they beat Indy / New York and lose an easy one to the Bucs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blitz Posted November 5, 2006 Share Posted November 5, 2006 If they have any chance, it will be as a wildcard. They are now two games behind in the division and are 1-3 against their own division. Tough game ahead in Arizona then home against the Colts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest texpal22 Posted November 5, 2006 Share Posted November 5, 2006 that's true. although the Giants do have alot of tough games ahead but so do the Cowboys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
