Around the NFL week 9

I don't know how they can come back from this. I think it's safe to assume their season is done.

This is the same stuff said after the Giants started 0-2 last year and had given up eighty points on D in 2 games.

Dallas really looks bad offensively and defensively and I'm just not sure it's easily fixable. I see this and I don't see many wins:

@ Washington
San Francisco
Seattle
@ Pittsburgh
NY Giants
Baltimore
@ Philadelphia

Dallas could bounce back. They've got a winning record and half of the season left. But right now Giantone, they look like they've given up.

Kinda different circumstances. The Giants still had 14 games to right the ship, the margin for error right now for Dallas is slim. You've gotta figure they would need to get to 10 wins to have a realistic playoff shot. That means they would need to go 5-2 over their last 7. Can they do it? It's possible, but that's not an easy road. Romo coming back is not the magic answer for their woes right now either, they weren't playing that great when he was healthy.

Yes, but we're halfway through the season and Dallas is still giving up those kinds of points!

Yeah, but do realize that if the Redskins and Eagles were as good last year as they are this year, the Giants finish 8-8, in last place, and don't even make the playoffs.

That's exactly the best case scenario for Dallas, and thats assuming they do get it turned around and don't lose to SF or SEA (they are 0-2 against the NFC West thus far).

The Giants had Couglin lighting a fire under them plus his job was in jeaoprdy, he had to make changes. Plus he is a hard nosed coach that likes physical football. Wade ain't like that. I have a fork for the cowgirls.

Other than injuries, some credit to why this team has been in a total slump should go to the redskins. Think about it, we went into dallas to play this undefeated team who had blown out cleveland (who at that point we still thought were good), then won the shoot out with philly. When we beat them we exposed their weaknesses, and ta-da, now they are 5-4, in last, and in desperate need of Romo.

Does anybody else notice the similarities between dallas and philly right now? Both started their season off loking like the best in the league, lost their mvp, and are struggling.

I think it's a worthy point that the Redskins exposed the Cowboys in that matchup. But more than anything I think they're just not a very good "team". They have a lot of talent but they're not fundamentally sound, and they have too many stars and not enough of those blue collar role player types that make up the backbone of any good team. And I think Phillips is a weak head coach who coddles the players too much.

Do you think the cowboys will try to go after someone like Holmgren or Cowher? I think they only have Phillips to keep TO from getting frustrated because he is getting chewed out by a real coach.

I doubt it, I'm not sure Jones is ready to go back to a tough HC that wants a strong say in things like Parcells. I think Garrett will get the job so Jones can continue with his meddling ways.

Excellent, continue the cowboy struggle.

I hope that's the case. If their season continues down this path, they'd be foolish not to make a run at Bill Cowher. But they've been foolish so far, so hopefully that continues.

philly is playing very well now though!if there has been 1 thing i have learned in HATING dallas all these years,that would be to never count them out!
