I think there is a real possibility that they lose the next 3 game son their schedule which would put them at 1-4. Colin Cowherd today on SportsNation said that Dallas is a good team and almost won both road games. There is some validity in what he says but with the mounting injuries, young and inexperienced OL which has been a good chunk of the problem, how can anyone think they are playoff bound right now?

 
Washington is no slouch right now. Maybe people are underestimating them but they are light years from where they were 2 seasons ago and Jim Zorn was babysitting the team.

The Lions remind me of Tampa Bay when Dungy got them turned around and no one wanted to believe back in '97-'98.

 
I think those are losable if the Cowboys are at full health. They are not healthy and should lose all three on paper, but because the NFL is silly at times I will go 1-2.

That's probably right but they have about zero chance in NE, Detroit??? Those guys are animals right now so if they don't clip Washington this week they might be doomed for 1-4. Things always get interesting from the JJ pulpit to make the team relevant once the season is over.
 
How will Dallas cover the Lions' WRs in 2 weeks? I encourage folks to go watch the trio of Calvin, Nate, and the budding Titus Young, that is a slick and sick trio right now. They all do different things and then Detroit has not 1 but 2 pretty solid TEs to boot.

 
Redskins are a pretty mediocre 2-0 squad. Cowboys can easily beat them at home, and should beat them regardless of how injured they are imo. Detroit is getting a lot of hype right now, and deservedly so, but they are overrated right now, especially by those who think Dallas has no shot at beating them at home. Dallas' ability to stop the run and sack the QB (they currently lead the league with the most sacks) alleviates some the issue of their lack of quality cornerbacks. With Best struggling to run against the Bucs and Chiefs so far this year, he'll be hard pressed to run on the Cowboys, which will allow the Cowboys to focus more on stopping Calvin and the other DET WRs/TEs.

I voted 1, but I wouldn't be the least bit surprised to see them beat Detroit, I might just put some money down on the money line if Detroit still comes in 3-0 and their hype will be overboard.

 
My take:

3 wins- 2%

2 win- 38%

1 win- 60%

0 wins-10%

That win yesterday was very similar to the KC win from a few years back. It really rallied the team then and that comeback might have had the same effect again. This might have been the Romo turning point. Who knows. Certainly Dallas goes in banged up, but I like their chances to compete in every game (even New England).

What if Romo's out? Do you still think Dallas has a chance?
 
It's like deja vu all over again.

Just ten days ago MoP wrote all this:

[*]Dallas is heading for disaster this weekend (well, they did find a bonehead way to lose, but I don't think that is what you meant)

[*]injuries to guys like Miles Austin (5-90-TD)

[*]Jason Witten might have to stay in and help block (6-110)

[*]Romo could possibly remain outside the top20 this week (10th - but more like 6th-7th given some of the non-starters (FF) in front of him)

[*]Certainly a guy like Eli Manning would seem to have an easier path :no:

[*]there are other QBs I might even want over him. What about Colt McCoy against Cinci? Fitz against the Chiefs? (1 out of 3 ain't...good)

[*]Kyle Orton, Kevin Kolb, Eli Manning, Jay Cutler...they all seem to have much better match ups on paper (0h-for-four)

You get the point, I won't belabor it. Even the best miss a call once in awhile. You put yourself out there often enough, you're gonna leave yourself open to criticism when you're wrong. Yada yada yada.

I kind of look at the Cowboys situation thusly: it's an up down league. Oh, there are a handful of franchises (mostly AFC of late) who consistently produce excellence. But the far more common theme is up one minute/week/year and down the next. Unless you're an elite team (New England - yes, Detroit - nyet) or really awful (Hello, Kansas City!), it is truly the Not For Long league.

Washington @ home - yeah, punctured lung QB, no Miles, no Felix, gimpy Dez, bad line. But they still got Whitten and Choice and whoever steps up. It's a rivalry game, at home, on MNF. Doubt they're gonna lay an egg.

Detroit @ home - do you think the Lions are going 16-0? Just checking. They're off to a nice start. Six game winning streak; three straight on the road. But just a reminder, this franchise lost 26 games in a row on the road. That streak ended in Week 15 of the 2010 season - nine months ago to the day. If you think it's automatic the Lions whup the Vikings next weekend, then you don't the history of this lopsided 'rivalry'. Oh, it should be easy for Detroit, but somehow nothing ever is for them. 8-35-1 @ Minnesota all-time, 2-7-0 @ Dallas. Sure, means nothing...until doubt starts to creep into young players minds.

That's the NFL. Weird things happen. Like the Cowboys winning two or maybe even three times in the next three weeks. I wouldn't put money on it, but it wouldn't surprise me either.

ASIDE: Love what's happening in Detroit, and love the talent. But I take nothing for granted.

 
My take:3 wins- 2%2 win- 38%1 win- 60%0 wins-10%That win yesterday was very similar to the KC win from a few years back.

I LIKE THIS FORMAT3 WINS 5%-- The NE game really makes this a low %. Even though Dallas always does well coming off a bye and can make Brady very uncomfortable 2 WINS 60%-- If they beat the Skins which I think they will old MO will be on their side and maybe they get closer to full health1 WIN 33%-- If they continue to get beat up they may not have any starters going after the Skins game0 WINS 2%-- A J.Garrett team just is not likely to lose 3 straight I mean this team does play hard and the defense will bring it and is getting healthier.

WOW no chance vs Det. Guess nobody watched the Jets game. Sure they lost but that was the toughest situation to be in to this point of any away team and Dallas pretty much put the Jets to bed. They just forgot to tuck them in. They win that game 95% of the time.Detroit is on the rise but to say Dallas has no chance is a bit crazy even with the injuries, am I wrong?

I'm not a Cowboys' fan, I'm a Giants fan so it pains me to say that IMO Dallas will win the next 3 games and possibly give NE a run for their money.playoff bound I don't know..but...What we know about Detroit: they blew up KC and TB...big deal.what we know about Redskins: they beat the Giants but seriously,after watching the G-men last night, but just how good are they?? I doubt Giants make the playoffs..unless/until Detroit does it against a 'good' team color me a non-believer.Redskins have a good defense and solid offense, but Rex Grossman is due to come crashing back down to earth isn't he??and who've they beaten? NYG and Az..not exactly barmstorming teams..I don't care about losing Austin and/or Romo.the Cowboys still have Witten, he's simply unstoppable..then there is Choice who is a better RB than Jones IMO..at least he stays healthy whereas Jones is an injury waiting to happen.Kitna is a capable QB..Romo proved a lot winning the game like he did..maybe the team rallies for him and/or around him..I think the Cowboys go 3-1 over next 4 games...
 
Like the old Jets and Chiefs, the Cowboys have a way of imploding.

I hope these are nail-biters and they get some stones to succeed in the playoffs.

They're often a very good regular season team. It might not show in the W-L column, but they're often formidable in the regular season.

That's how I view it except I'd probably have 0 wins at about 15 percent and 2 wins 35 percent and 3 wins 5 percent.I think they beat Washington this week and then the Detroit game will be a battle. NE is playing very well, so right now it's hard to see Dallas beating them as hurt as they are.MOP, I think you're forgetting the difficulty of playing on the road in the NFL. Dallas has just played 2 wars on the road and came out 1-1. They outplayed the Jets in NY in Week 1 and you saw how good the Jets were this past week. That tells you about the Cowboys and where they're at. They just played a fired up 49er team playing for a new young coach, they wanted to win that game bad.Washington isn't that good. They're certainly not a "bad" team, they're 2-0 but they're beatable. This will be the Cowboy's first home game and they'll play tough.

Washington and Dallas have been playing each other very tightly the past few years. I don't care who is playing QB or how "mediocre" either team looks it's always a great game.
 
I could see 2, but I voted 1. Can't see them beating NE on the road. They should beat Washington at home, but it's no lock. Detroit at home feels like a coin flip kind of game. O/U would be 1.5. I'll go with the under.
