"They can't lose any more games to teams that they should beat. They have zero room for error over the final two months of the season. That means they must beat the Raiders in Las Vegas tomorrow night. The defense must start playing better with the additions of Logan Wilson and Quinnen WIlliams. Getting Dak Prescott and the offense back to scoring more than 24 points would help too."
"They also have to take care of business against the imploding Washington Commanders and New York Giants over the final two weeks of the season. Dallas must be no worse that 8-6-1 by the time they play the Commanders in Washington on Christmas Day. A 10-6-1 record probably gets Dallas into the postseason. A 9-7-1 record and they will need a lot of help from the other NFC teams to get in."
"Let's assume a win tomorrow against Vegas and a 4-5-1 record. The Cowboys then play a murderer's row slate of opponents the next five weeks. That includes three games in 12 days. And those three opponents will be Philadelphia and Kansas City at home on just three days of rest, followed by the Lions in Detroit the Thursday after Thanksgiving."
The Dallas Cowboys sit 3-5-1 and two games out of the final NFC wild-card spot with eight games remaining. They must stop losing to beatable opponents and win tomorrow at Las Vegas. Defensive play must improve with Logan Wilson and Quinnen WIlliams, and the offense needs to score more than 24 points. Dallas must be no worse than 8-6-1 by the Commanders game on Christmas Day; 10-6-1 likely secures a playoff berth while 9-7-1 requires heavy help. A 6-8-1 record before Christmas eliminates postseason hopes. A brutal five-week stretch including Philadelphia, Kansas City, and Detroit will be decisive.
