17-17 v the Hawks
Am I dreaming
please don't let TR do something stupid...,

Lol

You know by going 6-1 the Cowboys will have to find a a superb way to get to 8-8. It's the Cowboys way to finish 8-8. Cowboys fans know this in their heart.

8-3, and a double over the jammy jammy Giants.... shame the Eagles look stronger in terms of winning the NFC East though, still, stranger things have happened... play off's a realistic prospect (albeit WC) but with such a poor post season record would anyone else hold out hope of progressing further than the WC game?

We're gonna win the Superbowl...i can feels it in my bones....:p

Nah, way too flakey for that... NFC Championship game would be nice though, but probably as unrealistic:D

I'm kidding DvB
i'd take a WC game at this stage
just to show progress
and build further in the 2015 with Sean Lee back in harness and a beef'd up defensive Line putting the D in Big D
Some astute draft's and a genuine back up for TR is a must now (god help us if we're left with Wheedon)

I'd go along with that. Some clear deficiencies in the team that need to be addressed if genuinely looking to mount a serious SB challenge. As inconsistent as TR can be as you say, when he's out theres not alot of options coming off the bench.

I wish I could say I'm surprised at last night scoreline, sadly I'm not, Always fancied the Eagles to have too much for the cowboys in a direct head to head.... a win in the return game for them & that'll be the NFC East done & dusted.

DvB how right you are
whats most annoying is how we lost to a terrible QB Mr Butt Fumble himself and we let him take one in for the TD
Dez AND Murray got shut down and TR was TR... i lost count of the turnovers
thats just not good enough..
i don't see how we win in Philly either so we're hoping for a wild card now and thats a remote hope at best given Detroit and Seattle are in the wild card spots on 8-4 also.
was so optimistic at 6-1 but we've gone 2-3 since then
i think someone said it would be interesting to see how the cowboys manage to get to 8-8 from 6-1 but ye know its possible..

Looking at the remaining 4 fixtures i think 10-6 is more likely, though wouldn't rule out 9-7 which definitely wont be good enough for a WC now Seattle & a couple of others are getting back on track. Thinkthe WC's will go down to the last game myself, unless we lose the next 3 on the spin or suchlike.
A season that didn't promise much before, promised loads @ 6-1 but will most likely end up disappointing most of the fans.

Nearly 20 years now without a SB.....

Time this got a bump
How bout them cowboys and what a great season
Referee's call aside last weekend we pushed the pack to the wire and should've won
The experience will stand us in good stead for 2015.
Draft and free agency roster will decide how 2015 will go, getting Dez and Demarco tied down is essential and Sean Lee back in the secondary will be like having a new player.
The O-Line is very strong so a couple of hot tackles would be welcomed.

Hard to argue, as you say keeping Bryant & Murray is crucial, lose either & its a step back IMO.
Still expect the Eagles to improve for next year & the jammy Giants will bounce back as well, rarely a team dominates the NFC East and I expect that to be the same again next year, however, if the team is serious about challenging for SB's again the division is a minimum & if possible a top 2 NFC ranking too, that way its only the conference game on the road...
(never though I'd say that 12 months ago)

All in all a great season, one that definitely exceeded expectations, hopefully 2015 doesn't bring us back down to earth with a whimper....
