Yall can beat the skins if the the same Skins showed up that played against Pittsburgh this monday night or the one we beat for the season opener.

well, you gotta understand the optimism i'm trying to have, since all my teams are playing like shit. even my spurs are starting their season 0-3 and probably will not make it to the playoffs even with ginobili returning. something's gotta give... i mean my team will eventually have to win a big one.

I'm sure the Spurs will be fine. Theyre kinda like us the yankees and the fans. Theyve won enough the past few yrs to thepoint where it doesnt hurt as much when you dont go all the way. But yea Spurs will prolly make the playoffs, I just don't know if I could say the same thing about the Cowboys. I see teams like NO, Carolina, GB, just to name a few fighting for that wild card. I can tell you right now in case anyones thinking this, that the chance of the Giants giving up 1st place is like non existant. Its not gonna happen so forget about that playoff option.

so philadelphians usually make 9-7 predictions?

idiot

lol

seriously, check the schedule. you already have 4 losses. 3 more is really not that much of a stretch considering who you still have to play.....oh, and how bad your team is right now! hey oh!

T.O. FINALLY EXPLODES!!!1!!

"We're still a very confident group of guys," Owens said. "As a unit, we know why we aren't winning. We just have to get those mistakes corrected."

Yeah but he threw a chair and screamed for his grandma and a chocolate milk with an oreo straw

doesn't everyone?

Flagg · November 2008

I am so depressed I don't even want to talk about them anymore. How bad is that?
This is such perfect timing for the bye week.

It is one thing when your team sucks and everyone knows it sucks (i.e. the 1989 1-15 season, etc.) but it is another when they are talented and then underperform terribly.

no.... a lot of philly fans are very condescending... like you calling me an idiot. and you saying the cowboys will go 9-7 is extremely biased....

i've checked the schedule but you're also failing to give at least some credibility to the fact that the cowboys are injured. they have so many injured that i wouldn't want to name them all. sure... they would've lost some of these games but you're honestly not going to say that the scores would've been the same... especially considering the fact that we didn't have a good backup quarterback to distribute the ball at all. comments being made here is almost like making it sound like if roy williams and t. owens will be completely stopped for the rest of the season and the cowboys will absolutely not make some kind of fight to make it to the playoffs. so yes your comments are extreeemely biased.

but go ahead... call me an idiot if it makes you feel better. i mean add insult to injury in this case.... so my team loses and i'm bummed out about it.... and wait a minute, it's not over yet, cause I'm still an idiot. and so the bashing will continue. not on you, mind you, on me.

no, i don't think so... doesn't look good at all for the spurs right now. they're in the toughest division with two of their best players (parker, ginobili) injured.

i'm sure giants will stay at number one.... i just don't see the cowboys out of the picture at all... not yet... at least if they don't lose to the redskins.

in the beginning of the season cowboys were considered the most dangerous team.... even with their losses to the redskins and cardinals... look how those games ended... they were both very close games. as soon as romo gets injured it's when they get blown out by the rams and giants.... the cowboys are definitely in need of getting their better players back.... they can play much better than what they've shown so far... everyone knows it.

ok for the giants, respect has been earned and given... at least in my part it has. i respect the giants... the only thing that bothered me about the cowboys loss is that one of the players said that had they played with romo and all the rest of their healthy crew the outcome would've been the same. who's to say? cause what you're saying is that romo is seriously that bad and he would've played as bad as johnson. i mean didn't johnson take it twice to the red zone and then turn the ball over? you don't think romo would scored those touchdowns? i'm not saying the cowboys would've lost... i'm saying the outcome would've been very much different. at least the score would've been 35-28 in giants favor. like the outcome might've been very much different against the rams.... and so on. can you honestly say the cowboys aren't that good and they simply don't have any potential to contend for a mere playoff spot? i think they're good enough... at least good enough.

but like i said earlier... if the redskins win then it's all over for the cowboys. but if the cowboys win... then yeah there season is just midway through and have a fairly good chance of tying for the second spot in the nfc east.

I dunno man. Sure the talent and potential is there to earn a playoff spot. But the way other teams are playing in the other divisions is gonna make it extremely difficult. On top of trying to win, what, 5 or 6 of your remaining games you gotta hope the other teams lose too. Good luck with that.
Oh and I'll prolly be rooting Cowboys when yall play the redskins next week just so we can distance ourselves a lil bit more from any possible competition

well, cowboys have a chance of going 7-0 if indeed they play like they should with all their best players on the roster but we'll see.

It has been nice to watch football this week without having to stress about it.

yea they have a chance. Anybody has a chance any given sunday. Thats just how it is. At best I say the go 5 and 2, 6 and 1 if they get really lucky.

looks like the Cowboys are now 3rd in the division, ahead of the last place Eagles.

As much as it sucks to see the Giants win, as a Cowboys fan you have to come to the realization that the NFC East is out of reach this year. Not mathematically but you know. The best chance for the Cowbys to make the playoffs is for the Giants to go on and beat Washington and Philly one more time and just go on and take the division.

Needless to say, this Washington game coming up is a must-win.

10 wins will not get them in this year. It is going to take 11 to get in I believe.

Cowboy are 5-4. So 6 wins are needed. Here are the remaining games:

at Washington
San Francisco
Seattle
at Pittsburgh
New York Giants
Baltimore
at Philadelphia

None of these are gimmie games. Certainly doable to go 6-1 over the remainder of the season, but there are no pushovers in that list, except the 49ers.

def gonna have to pull off at least 6 wins esp when you take into consideration that you have to hope and pray teams like Minnesota, Atlanta, GB, Washington, Philly and perhaps even the Saints lose most of their games. Wild Card battle is gonna be fun.

come on, you know very well that if the cowboys play like they should and healthy they can definitely go 7-0

i kinda disagree with you here... afterall there are still 7 weeks left to play. that's a looong time... even if the giants lose to washington and philly, cowboys still have a chance... there's a solid chance the standings might stand like this... which is actually what i'm predicting.

giants 12-4
redskins 11-5
cowboys 11-5
eagles 9-7 (the way they lost to the giants... i'm not too bought into this team

)

but yes as i said the game against redskins is definitely a must-win.

also the seahawks are more of a pushover... given the way i saw the 49ers play against the cardinals. the only games i'm truly worried about are the games against the redskins and the steelers.

i'm expecting the cowboys to beat the giants and eagles... all the games against baltimore, seattle and sanfran are home games... they usually win those, especially the games on thanksgiving day.
