I thought about that too.

Lawrence would look really good with this line right now and our run defense would be even better.

I don't think it was a mistake to let him walk, but I do think with this current unit, he totally would have helped and made it better.

For sure, although I think Clowney is more or less the same player at this point and is 1/4th the price. Having both, let's say in place of dumbo Sam, would be nice though.

Don't look now, but Sam Williams has been starting to show up the last few weeks.

He has but I still don't think it's enough for me to want to bring him back next year.

He's still firmly behind both Ezeiruaku, Clowney and Fowler and is getting about the same amount of snaps as Houston.
 
@Sheik ?

Yeah, we ain't been sucked like this in decades.

A defense who gets better as the game goes on is gonna be trouble down the stretch.

You just hope they get a chance to compete in the post season, because it could be lightning.

Wouldn't say that, 2014, 2016, 2018 and 2021-23 were big time suckings. Those were all legitimately good teams, they just never made a big run like you'd think would be inevitable given how many top level teams we've had in the last 10ish years.

Those teams were great, but the strengths of those were usually so one sided.

This defense is levelling. I think the Kneeland tragedy and the Quinnen trade right there back-to-back gave Schotty a chance to work his magic and kinda forged them into more of an all for one kinda defense and team.

Would be great to keep the throttle down, but just gonna enjoy it while they're hot I suppose.
 
One thing is, overall we're pretty darned healthy now.

That + Q + players finally figuring out Eberflus' system = a different team from six weeks ago.
 
FWIW, didn't realize this is basically the same package I was talking about in the Eagles game... Hyphen offset H-back in motion and Luepke in the backfield lead blocking. That's a lot of big, strong blocking on the move.

Even now our playoff chances are only 19%. I'd say it is almost certain we have to win out.

Yeah I'm just used to 10 win teams making the playoffs. And with 3 wild card teams it feels like they can't all be 11 win teams. And the better news is we have the tie breaker over every other 10 win team if we can get there.

No reason to check those odds until after the weekend though. I don't think those odds give proper credence to how the Cowboys have changed.

That was the same play they ran on first down after the fumbled punt that got about 7 yards, more or less.

Exactly. Don't think that was the pistol, but that doesn't really matter.

11-5-1 almost 100% has us in the playoffs, I don't think 10-6-1 would be as low as 20% or whatever, I think it's at least 35-40%.

Let's just assume that GB and TB win their divisions, I don't think there's an 80% chance or whatever that two of SF, Detroit, Chicago and Carolina win 11 games.

Ironically one could argue that we should be rooting for Philly tonight to add a loss to Chicago.

I don't believe in those chance percentages.

I think obviously we'd be better off winning out but I don't think it's certain we have to win out. I think it's pretty likely that some of those teams in the mix will fall off.

I'd love to win out but I think we can probably afford 1 loss and still would likely get in at 10-6-1.
