According to the Yahoo playoff generator...

Seattle has been awful on the road.. I'm actually more worried about the skins and Saints then I am Seattle.

but again, Cowboys have to go at least 4 and 1 in the next five and actually the matchups don't scare me except for the skins because the next four games, we face teams with terrible running games.

It's the cowboys mentality that tells me we'll finish 8-8 or worse, not the games on paper.

Guys, the problem is that we have to finish 9-7 to have any realistic shot at all, I have played around with the playoff generator too. I cant get Dallas into the playoffs with an 8-8 record unless I just start making up outcomes to games.


We have 6 losses already, that means we have to go 4-1 at a minimium. Our schedule.......

Eagles
Steelers
Bengals
Saints
Skins

We are only going to lose only 1 of these games? Yea, right.


We are done guys.

^I could make a case for every game as being winnable (not that I would bank it )

Eagles- Dead team

Bengals: decent team but beatable.. we've played okay on the Road and they're not gonna run it down our throats.

Steelers: at home, won't know the state of big ben.. still scariest game on the scheduale.

Saints: Might be done by then. Their o-line is just as bad and their d sucks.

Redskins: Tough game but maybe having game film on them against us will help.

4-1 is not impossible given the matchups like I've said before. If we had the texans, pats, Niners upcoming i'd give us zero shot.

NFC east teams don't win in Cincy

You know what sucks? We are such a weird team I can see us rallying and being in a position to make the playoffs, and then blowing it the last 2 games of the season. This team seems to always get you locked in and excited only to disappoint you in the end.

More posts about us being absolutely done when we've got 5 winnable games left to play. We're not exactly up against a murderer's row of competition for that WC spot, either. Some lucky team that hasn't looked all that impressive to-date is going to get in.

What I would like to see is the offense wake up from the dead. Please Garrett, run the hurry up offense (not the no huddle) but the hurry up offense the first half. If it doesn't work, then so be it, you at least tried.

If we can start winning the first quarter, then the first half, it starts the process of winning.

Win something, and it will show us how to win games.

So most of these scenarios have us rooting for the Giants to win Monday? I still don't think the Giants are very good and can easily see them dialing up 1-4 the rest of the way.

Last time a team from the NFC East won in Cincy was Sept of 1991

Maaaaaan I've been wanting this for awhile now, don't know why he doesn't do it.

In this scenario, we finish tied with Tampa Bay and Seattle at 8-8, and we win the tiebreaker. All I did was set it by winning percentage, make us finish 8-8 (win, lose, lose, win, win), change Tampa Bay to a loss at New Orleans (very possible) and change Seattle to a loss at Buffalo (the Seahawks are terrible when they go east). That's not too far-fetched.

So, you think it's something about the entire NFCE that's keeping us from winning in Cincinnati? That seems...unlikely.

CIN has a pretty good team. That'll be a tough game for us. I think NO will be even tougher. They're basically playoff games for us, if we get past the wingless Eagles.

The team that just got beat by the Dolphins and let Ryan Tannehill score 17 unanswered points on them in the 4th quarter?

I see them winning 2 more games. Any time Seattle plays on the road, you can almost automatically chalk it up as a loss (they're currently 1-5 away from Seattle). They got 3 more home games, and one of those games is against San Francisco in Week 16 when SF will probably still be playing for home field.

since you obviously don't seem to know what you are talking about, I'll just ignore your ridiculous prognostications from here on out.

No I;m saying that even when we had Aikman, Irvin, and Emmit we still lost in Cincy and it's something that is not accomplished that often.

The last time a NFC East team came close to winning in Cincy was in 2008 and that was the Eagles was ending in a TIE
