Yeah...Packers, Eagles, and Panthers.
We also have to beat Washington twice (which is never a gimme).
I really don't hold out much hope to be honest.
Can't lose more than 1 division game.
Even without a top RB, Washington isn't in Dallas' league with Romo and this improved defense. They won't steal another game from us.
Let's face it: NY-Sea-Philly-TB is a soft stretch of the schedule when we really need it. All are flawed teams and none are over .500.
If Matt Cassel is decent, Dallas has a chance to go 3-1 and even 4-0 over the next four games, especially if they play Michael more. I really believe that.
I think Romo may struggle at first in Miami, but we'll eventually win that game.
I also don't see Carolina beating Dallas. They've defeated the Jags, Texans, Saints, Bucs, and a very average Seahawks team. Let them play the Falcons a couple of times and the Packers too.
Dallas has three very tough games on their schedule: @Green Bay, Jets, and @Buffalo, and fortunately all would appear to be post-Romo.
We'll lose games, but we should be equal or favored in almost every matchup.
Cassel going 3-1 and Romo going 5-2 puts us at 10-6 and gets us the division for sure. If not then definitely a wildcard over Carolina, Chicago, or St Louis.
If we go 9-7, I still think we take the division as long as we only have a single NFC East loss.
