Going 0-3: forget about the playoffs
Going 0-3 in the next 3 games will probably give us an 8-8 record at the end of the year. The team will be hard pressed to get up for the game in Buffalo but may have enough pride to finish the season with a win against the Jets. HC will be gone and a lot of players will be traded. Clean the house time will be on the agenda in the off season.
Going 1-2: still chance (especially if the win comes in NE) but doubtful to make the playoffs
If we lose to NE during that stretch the divison will be gone. An 8-6 record will make it tough to even get into a WC spot at 10-6. We need help from other teams and using the calculator (and all the ifs and whens) will become a daily task trying to figure out on how to make the playoffs.
Going 2-1: a wildcard race is on
Being 9-5 after that stretch we hold all WC possibilities in our own hands. We still be alive in the divison race if one of our victories will come against NE. If we finish the stretch at 9-5 we will win out and finish the season at 11-5.
Going 3-0: Dolfans....hold on to your seats.
We'll be running into the playoffs. Finishing that stretch with a 10-4 record I feel something real special coming up. The december swoon will be gone as we will blow away Bills and Jets. 12-4...3rd seed...
My prediction
We will not go 0-3 neither will we go 1-2. I predict a 2-1 record with the loss coming Thursday. We will still be in the division race and the wildcard will be ours to lose.
Intangibles
The short break is a blessing in the sky IMO. Best way of keeping the team focused and maybe carry the emotional 4th quarter over.
Thoughts on Dallas
Norv has to play more risky on offense. dallas has the #1 defense overall. They are #1 in passing, #2 in rushing and #1 in points allwed. A continous short-short-run up the middle will not be enough. Trick plays and surprise plays (pass on 1st down and 2nd and short) will give us a the "so important" TOP. Jay has to stay away from mistakes. Don't force it. Rather run out of the pocket and throw the ball away or take the sack. I do not expect more than 17 points on offense. Dallas D is awsome.
Our D is ranked 11. But it is more an indicator of our pass D (#22). We are #4 in rushing and #2 in scoring. It will come down to which D creates more turnovers.
My prediction: 14-17 Dallas
My wish: 21-17 - it really will be up to Norv to put us into a winning position. Don't be too scared. let the players lose or win the game
