Augh only 1.75 points away from winning my fantasy game.

...and the 49ers and Cardinals won't lose at least a couple more games?

Arizona's got a brutal rest of the year. After an easy win this week against Oakland, they've got Philly, Dallas, Detroit, and a trip to Seattle in the span of 5 games. San Fran, meanwhile, goes to Denver in two weeks, has to go to the Superdome (which admittedly may or may not be tough depending on if the Saints finally get it together), and then has two games against Seattle, and a game against both San Diego and Arizona.

Seattle's honestly probably got the easiest schedule the rest of the way in the NFC West. They've already got their San Diego and Denver games out of the way, and the only tough non divisional games left are trips to Philly and Carolina. I could very easily see them finishing 12-4 (let's not forget how unpredictable Carolina is), which will probably be enough to win the NFC West.

Basically my point is that everyone in the NFC West has a tough schedule and it's a little silly to write Seattle off when both San Fran and Arizona are just as, if not more, likely to drop a few games between now and season's end.

That's a great analysis imho. As a Dallas and Seattle fan, I think it's critical for Dallas to try to swing a better record, and that's still a tall order as Philly will be tough no matter what. NY I think is done, but they were a paper tiger anyway. Seattle I think underprepared for the Dallas game and had no plan in place for the offensive look. And I doubt they would be as unprepared next time. At the beginning of the season you know they were studying the more likely rivals and Cowboys weren't a factor in that. Arizona is solid but not complete, and SF is actually playing more like you'd expect of past Dallas teams, combining some great play with horrendous blunders. In other words I think the fact that Seattle already convincingly beat SF and Denver means a lot. Maybe they're a half step down from last year, but still a legitimate force and a contender for best team in the league. For Dallas, something to watch will be Doug Free, if his injury is serious that is a big blow to the front line that has been the anchor and the biggest reason for Demarco Murray getting 100y games AND providing the safety in Romos world. A stand in held up yesterday, but that was after loooong possessions in the game that wore the Seattle defensive line out. A fresh opponent might expose the stand in and suddenly the o line isn't busting holes and protecting Romo in the same way.

Giants for the win next week XP!!!

Hahah I admire your commitment, and as a Dallas fan for many dark years I sympathize. I just don't see it in the cards. On a positive note, going into a tailspin might buy the NYG a great draft pick and get a new coaching staff in the door.

Picks went well this week :

I could post the pics of my moneyline and point spread bets, but I killed it on the Philly v Giants and Dallas v Seahawks games :D

Teddy was digging DEs out of his ass every time he snapped the ball. The Vikings OL acted like turnstyles today. And we probably have the worst receiving corps in the league. Like I say to Maceoii every week, "Deez ***** can't catch!"

Mother ephing cowboys!!! @$#^&

Ok everybody, here is your well deserved meltdown...

Damn, Dallas wins, Eagles win, Giants lose and Cruz is done for the season...My heart can't take this

They are legitimately better than I gave them credit for. They took some brutal bad hits early, got down by more than a TD IN Seattle, the crowd was going nuts, happy to see blood on the field, and then ..

Dallas just kept standing up at the line, on both sides of the ball, for drive after drive. That was 4 quarters of gutsy football, fundamentally sound and solid work.

I did bet on them to win, but it was just a 'gut' feeling that after many years of Dallas disappointments didn't feel logical to me. But that game was different.

Giants losing was my lock of the week pick, they're just not a good team this year, but I was really sad to see Cruz go down like that. Some of the blame goes to Coughlin imho, that 4th and 6 call to go for it instead of just tacking 3 on the boards to get something going.

4th and 2? Maybe, but 4th and 6 to goal? That was beyond stupid, it showed a lack of faith in your squad to stand em up and come back for more points. JUST GET THE 3 and move forward.

Condolences :(
