To you, yes, Im probably superior to you in any measure. Well, except internet trash talking (cause acting like that irl is just dangerous huh)

Anyone still thinking we are going to make the playoffs needs to have their head examined Half of the team is hurt; we just lost to the Skins at home, while the Giants just blew out the Packers. It ain't happen folks. We aren't going to win more than one or two games the rest of the year. We will finish 7-9 or 6-10. Injuries will be the excuse to maintain the status quo and we will do it all over again next year.

Thats amazing Nastradamus! Did you come up with all that all by yourself?
Im quite sure the OP is aware of all this "insider information" you just blessed everyone with. He is just pointing out the fact that there is still a chance... because, get this, there is a chance. Its probably not going to happen and everyone knows its unlikely without you telling everyone to "get their head examined".
Have a nice day and thank you for such a refreshing post.

And what about Washington? If they beat NY this Sunday they will also be 6-6. Some of you really surprise me here. We barely beat a 2-8 team in overtime and then we lose to a pathetic 4-6 team, and now you expect us to get enough wins to make the playoffs? And you are banking on other teams losing? That is just sad. The only give me game is against Philly...after that is it Cincy, Pitt (with big Ben) NO, and Washington. We will be lucky to get one win in our next 6 games. Heck, even the Philly game isn't a given with our team.

The Cowboys already have their excuse (injuries) to why the season fell apart. Jerry will sign Romo to a 4 or 5 year contract at the end of the season and keep JG and RR around for another year too. Best thing we can hope for is we lose most of the games left and get a top 5-7 draft pick. It's a very tough time to be a Cowboys fan!

Sorry to be so negative but your can pump all the sunshine you want and still it is what it is. Nothing but pretenders on this team and unfortunately it will not change unless the GM changes. Even if we made the playoffs, what then?
No redzone O, no 4th q defense, record penalties per game and receivers who cannot understand the offense. A predicable coach who cannot adjust his offense for players to understand and is so wrapped up in playcalling cannot correctly focus on game time decisions. Lastly, dropping like flies with injuries and terrible back up "talent". A recipe for disaster.
Oh ya, but they do try hard. LOL.
We are one step behind the Eagles. Our bags are packed and ready for vacation in January.
They may beat Phili and they may win out but the last thing this team and coach wants to see is the playoffs.

Crucify me if you want but 8-8 isn't going to make the playoffs and I'm at a point where an 8-8 playoff teams just gives Jerry more fire to keep the status quo...mediocrity. He''l spin it to mean that the whole league is just as bad and that they fought hard for it, etc. It still adds up to .500 and mediocre. That is the mentality I want gone. Strive for being top notch, not being one of the "others."

Based on the current rosters of all the teams in contention for the final wildcard berth, from a pure talent standpoint, is there any reason to think the Cowboys' chances of making the playoffs shouldn't be at least as good as those teams' chances?

there's that talent word again

The playoffs are possible but not probable. The Boys have given us no indication that they capable of making a push for the playoffs so I am not encouraged.

Delusion thy name is anyone that has watched this team this year thinking we could go 4-1 the rest of the season.

Good Lord..


Is the season over yet? LOL..

Reading threads like these makes me wish it was. LOL..

I know, I know, I don't like it, I don't have to read them. It's like a car wreck though, you just can't help to look.

But, I can't believe after witnessing this team's play for the past month, losing Smith, losing Carter now for the year, as well as turnstyle Free still playing? Along with Austin hurt, well , that one doesn't sting too bad considering he is non-exsistent. Starting their 3rd center, etc.

And, yet. We still hear " Oh, playoffs are still possible."...

Loving the faith.

There are currently three teams with 6-5 records -- Minnesota, Seattle, and Tampa Bay. Minnesota plays at Green Bay next week. Seattle plays at Chicago. And Tampa Bay plays at Denver. There's a very good chance they will all lose because they're playing superior opponents on the road. Meanwhile, the Cowboys play a poor Eagles team at home. The Cowboys should be favored.

It's very possible all these teams, including the Cowboys, will be tied at 6-6 for the final wildcard berth. The Cowboys win the tiebreaker against the Bucs, but lose it against the Seahawks.

The Seahawks are about to lose both starting corners to suspension. The Bucs rank 30th in total defense and dead last in pass defense. The Vikings must play the Packers twice, the Bears, and the Texans over their last five games.

[View Full Quote]Are you telling me that, if all these teams were 6-6 at the end of next week, the Cowboys wouldn't have at least as good a chance at making the playoffs as any one of them?

Actually if we win this weekend and all those teams lose we'll be ahead of them. Tiebreakers don't matter head to head with one team in a 4 way tie. But we would have the better NFC record at 5-5. Minny would be 4-5, Tampa 3-6, Seahawks 4-5. The only problem is the Redskins who are playing the Giants. Do we want them to win or lose. if they lose they are 5-7 if they win they are 6-6 with a 6-4 conference record but that brings the Giants one game closer to us. That's the dilemma in all this, the freaking Redskins.

there is no dilemma. What has this team shown that makes anyone think they can go 4-1 from now on?

Not the point. The point is to point out what could happen this weekend. I don't know or care right now if we can go 4-1. All I care about is this Sunday.
