If we win out, we need Green Bay to lose one and Tampa Bay to lose one then GB, TB, AZ and Dallas all likely end up at 13-4 and we take the number one seed, doesn't matter what AZ does as long as we win out and beat them. Don't know what the odds are for all that to occur but with Tampa Bay and Green Bay's schedule I would say not good. We likely will be number 4 unless we get some breaks and this is finally our year!

We need the Elite QBs to not be Elite in other words?

We blew our chance at the number one seed when we lost to Denver and the Raiders.
Green Bay will lose one of their AFC north games vs Baltimore or Cleveland. Tamps has a cake schedule so I don’t think they’ll lose one but if they do we control our destiny for the 1 seed.

1 seed is very much in play but 2 seed is extremely likely if we win out. It’s hard to go 15-2 my man, not sure why we are upset about being 9-4. Especially when many here didn’t even think this would be a 10 win team.

Tampa is one game ahead of us and they hold a tiebreaker. We’re going to have our work cut out for us beating the Cardinals. We’re not going to get the number one seed. Besides we’ve had two number one seeded teams go one and done.

If more than one team is 13-4 the head to head matchup goes out of the window. We have the best conference record so we have the tiebreaker as long as multiple teams are 13-4.

We must win out obviously to get the 1 but yes the AZ game will be a good test.

The least likely thing is Tampa losing another game. But regardless we are in good position for the 2 seed as long as we can beat AZ.

If the offense regains it’s stride these next two weeks I won’t. At least no fan of the team should be, if we are clicking we are one of the best teams in the league talent wise.

Do need to get back to that level of Offense though for sure.

That’s a big if. With two injured running backs and Tyron out of the lineup it’s going to be tough getting back on track. If we don’t get the offense rolling again and Dak doesn’t come out of the rut he’s in, it’s likely going to be a one and done regardless where we’re seeded.

2% chance all that happens

You think that’s a big if versus the Giants and Washington? Giants season is over and Washington is going to be coming off a short week with dwindling playoff hopes. I will be extremely disappointed if we can’t get back going versus those two.

The biggest “if” is the Cards game, but again I’m an optimist and believe in the overall talent in the team. If you’re less positive about it there’s not much more I can say.

The big if I’m referring to is if the offense regains its stride at some point this season. Like I said it’s going to be tough with two injured running backs and if Tyron continues to miss games. We should be able to beat the Giants and Washington but I don’t see us beating the Cardinals or doing anything in the playoffs if Dak and our offense doesn’t get back to where it was earlier in the season. We have four games left for Dak and the offense to right the ship.

Yup, let’s hope they can get it done

If we don’t start seeing some signs of them coming out of it tomorrow it might not happen. This is the softest game they have left.

It's the end of the season, but its like people are talking about us having a lot of time to turn things around.. Ideally you want to be going into the playoffs hot, rolling over teams. I mean I hope so too but at this point you watch games for the cowboys to prove themselves and not go with homerism.
