Think you have this right. And the divisional record puts the Cowboys at a disadvantage in time scenarios.I have WAS winning division with 7-9 record.
I think they are a better football team with Alex Smith and have DAL finishing 5-11 half a game better than last place Eagles.
The NFCE as a group will probably win a few games they shouldn't late as other teams playoff standings are locked in while in the toilet bowl every game counts.
I could very easily see DAL go 6-10. But even at 7-9 we'd lose the WAS tie-breaker so it appears pretty a long shot for the first time all year.
I've been asking myself what is my break point. I have a deep athletic background and know you want to win and don't apologize. I do not consider myself a tank fan.
Get me 7-8 wins and I happily enter the playoffs. No apologies. But what about 5-6? Is that just counterproductive? Lose maybe 12-15 draft slots. Play a first place schedule next year. And sort of live in infamy as the worst ever playoff team.
Hard to find myself liking that picture.
