What is the situation if PHI loses tonight?

[loublue22]

At that point we would both have losses to each other, SF, one other NFC and AFC team. If both teams win out from there, the head to head, division and conference records are all the same.

Anyone?

Philly has to lose to NY once for the cowboys to even have a chance. Winning the division tiebreaker is their only hope.

Same as it was before last night with the exception being no chance of catching the 49ers.

What is the tiebreaker if we have the same division and conference record?

I think from there, they check wins against teams over 500 and we are thru when that happens.

Strength of victory (record of opponents you beat). Philly is ahead by a bit in that category due to KC and Buff and TB vs Carolina and NYJ and LAC

 

[Sydla]

Don’t worry about it. They’d have to lose again even if they lose tonight.

We blew the division yesterday.

Just posted the same but you are correct.

We party like rock stars and forget we got blown out yesterday

You guys are skipping a tiebreaker.

Common games is before conference record and strength of victory. Dallas basically killed any chance at that by losing to Buffalo.

 

[Cowboysheelsreds058]

Gnats not beating the egirls, wishful thinking. The WFT had 2 chances and blew it both times.

 

[KJJ]

Doesn’t really matter what Philly does. We’re not winning the rest of our games.

This is theoretically if Philly loses to Seattle, we tie in common games. Buffalo is your NYJ, SEA would be our ARI, we both lost to SF and one another

We also get to play DET and they dont, I feel like that should help.

It likely won’t. In fact, when going through probabilities of likelihoods of which tiebreakers we could win, losing to Detroit actually wasn’t all that bad.

He asked what’s next tiebreaker after division and conference record, with the implication they were tied. Why not also mention common games then too?

I suspect he didn’t realize common games is a higher tiebreaker than even conference record.

It will help SOV for sure.

If they lose I'll still give us a punchers chance because they may very well implode.

On the contrary with the Fins and Lions coming up we may beat them to it.

Wouldn't we have the same common opponent record in the situation I originally described?

After Miami blows them out next week it won’t matter.
