Giant's loss plus winning out equals Cowboys Playoffs

[Sam I Am]

So, with the Giants losing today and if the Cowboys can win out, the Cowboys will win the division as the Cowboys have the tiebreaker over the Giants.

Now, who actually has enough trust in the Cowboys that they will actually win out?

Their injuries and inconsistent play tell me that the odds aren't great. We can always hope though.

[Boyzmamacita]

Yes, we can always hope. That's the whole point of being a fan. If the Cowboys win today, that hope will be a lot stronger.

I have a feeling our playoff birth will depend on the last game of the season in Washington...

They were in control of their own destiny last year too. I hope they pull it off, and though I think they've been playing a lot more "intense" lately, I think the injuries on defense and poor OL play will be too much to overcome.

We have an extremely tough road ahead. Even when we win today, the Saints have actually looked really good this week, defense especially. And we all know about their offense.

[NickZepp]

If the Bears keep falling apart we may be playoff bound if we just finish 2nd in the division.

[burmafrd]

Saints are dangerous. They know they are eliminated now so they can relax and play spoilers

Seahawks probably have the 1st WC slot sewed up

Now the team that worries me right now for the 2nd would be the Vikings. They have the edge in conference record.

Now if the bears continue to implode just might leave a place open. But its still slim.

[BraveHeartFan]

I feel much better now then I did yesterday.

I think we can win out. It's going to be tough but I think it can be done at this point.

Dallas is now in a 3-way tie for first in their division. Winning the next two will do the job, but they have a pretty good shot if they split the next 2, especially if one of the wins is against the Skins.

[Lazyking]

Trust? Not much but there is still hope. A season with playoff dreams still alive is way better then being say the Raiders right now.

Giants would have to lose again. Unless you think we can get a wildcard at 9-7 I don't

The Vikes play the Texans and Packers....not worried about them at this point as much as the Bears who play the Cardinals and Lions. If the Giants lose to the Ravens next week, I think they are done in terms of tiebreakers against the Cowboys or Redskins for a 6th spot because of their poor division record.

The way Seattle is playing, I wouldn't be surprised to see them take the division from the 49ers.

Vikings play the Texans in Houston and the Packers. It'll come down to Locker for them though. If he plays like he normally does they won't win those 2 games. Adrian Peterson is on an amazing tear but he can't win those games by himself.

The Giants play the Ravens next week. Both teams will be desperate for that one.

With the way Romo is leading this team I'm not afraid to say we'll win one out of two for sure. Defense has made big plays at the end of games lately but it still has some issues.

Cowboys win the tiebreaker over the giants by common games I think. Because if they lost to the skins and Giants won against eagles, they'd be tied in divison.

At this point, yea. We would hold the tie breaker over NYG due to division record and a win vs the skins would give us the tie breaker vs common opponents.

A Loss would mean Washington in the playoffs.

They get them at home next week, after whatever happens in the Niner/Pats game tonight.

SEA is looking like a team peaking at exactly the right time to me. To bad they're not going to have home field advantage, or they'd be in great shape about now.

That early loss to them doesn't look so embarrassing now, either. That's a good team.

Without a doubt. But, the Saints looked awfully good today against the Bucs, so the next "big" game is of course, New Orleans.

%The Saints are certainly vulnerable though, so hopefully the 'Boys don't look past next week.
