Dallas Week, Part 1

[calia]

I think it is about as close to a must-win at this point in the season as it can be for a team hoping to compete in January. At 3-3, we have Dallas (away), KC (away), Seattle (home), Detroit (home), and then Miami (Spain). KC away is going to be hard as they're playing much better football right now. The Seahawks have oddly been better on the road than at home this season. And you know Detroit will want revenge from last season too. Dallas is our best bet for a win until week 11 with Miami, and if we're 3-7 at that time (and losers of 5 straight), the season will have been lost. We really have to beat Dallas and beat either Seattle or Detroit (to keep pace at 5-5 and not fall farther behind to NFC teams, having now lost to GB, ATL, and CHI) to have a realistic shot. We should beat Miami, and then we'll have a run of NFCE games (and Denver) after the bye -- and anything can happen in conference games as we know.

But I hope this weekend, they can stay focused on the task at hand. Beat Dallas.
