Dallas won't be able to throw deep passes in a cold, windy, potentially snowy Lambeau environment.

Prescott's splits in cold weather vs. warm or indoors are pretty gargantuan. Today another one of those cold, windy days, though nothing like Northeast Wisconsin in mid-late January.

Environment does matter, like it or not. Prescott, born and raised in the Deep South, was able to post good stats at Tampa in week 1 against a great defense for a reason. Denver stinker loss aside, he's been superb at home. Arizona and LA play indoors and TB plays in a toasty winter environment.

There's one stadium that a Dak Prescott-led offense does not want to go to in January, under any circumstances... it's not Jerryworld, either.
We can’t now. Dak sucks.

True.

I'm not even considering the #1 overall seed, because the Buccaneers are not going to lose 2 games.

The best the Cowboys can get is the #2 seed.

You should have been more clear in your title.
You got benched and the Saints are up on the Bucs at halftime.

Me > You.

How did it hurt us, they did us a favor

Because if tied with the Bucs we need another team tied with both of us. We can’t finish tied with the Bucs solely. They have the tiebreaker over us. So the more teams that have a chance to finish with four losses the better the chance for us to get the 1 seed. The Cards are now out because if we beat them, they would have 5 losses. Bucs losing though was arguably the biggest hurdle for us. So we got massive help tonight by the Saints.

Now just need the Pack to lose one game (or at least one game and have the Rams win out). We just need one more team to finish with four losses along with us and Bucs.

Hopefully Tampa loses again but Panthers and Jets both suck

theoretically it would be better if AZ was a game ahead I guess, since it makes ending in a 3 way tie that we win more likely

How come somebody else's loss hurts us........I'd go with the OC, HC, OL and some untimely drops. Team needs to look IN the mirror, instead of looking AT the mirror.

As long as we are out of the 4th seed -- I'm not convinced a week off helps us unless that is the difference between Smith playing or not.

I didn't talk crap. I told you Brady hadn't beaten the saints as a Buc and would not win out, i was right and you weren't.
You said I was full of crap. I threw it back at you.

Remember that? Regardless, that's not name-calling. That's just talk. Know the difference.

I agree but it also means having to play at GB most likely.

The way Arizona is playing without D Hop I don't think they would end up 13-4 anyway.
