He means that you should never count on another team to help you win the division. The Cowboys need to take care of their own selves and not worry what other teams do. It's completely out of their hands what the eagles do.

I understand that but we still have to watch what they do because they have..........................the same record

Agreed. It would be silly to say that Dallas shouldnt be worried. Homer or not I dont think they are a better team that the Cowboys but the whole schedule can be troubling and anything can happen.

Actually, you don't. Dallas just has to go 4-0 or 3-1(as long as that 1 is not against the Eagles) to win the division. That is what they need to focus on.

The only thing that needs watching are the Cowboys themselves. They have no control over what other teams do.

One game at a time for the Cowboys is what is needed. Never count on someone to bail you out, even in real life.

It's important for my mental health, I cannot deal with a do or die game on 12/29 because it will lead to rapid heartbeats and a lot of sweating LOL

Really Carson Palmer threw for 350 ? That's lights out ? Didn't look good to me .

Speaking of real life... Speaking of control

He was talking about the Eagles worrying him and keeping an eye on them. Guess what? We have no control over what the Cowboys do either. So I think Ill go ahead and watch the Eagles, hope they lose AND watch the Cowboys and hope they win.

The problem is I don't think we can go 3-1 which is why I was depending on the eagles to lose 1 game. That Bears game on Monday Night just doesn't look like a win but hopefully I;m wrong. I would feel better if the Lions can win on Sunday so that it won't be a lot of pressure to win on Monday Night

Screw the eagles. As of now, I am focused on the Bears. But you two go ahead watch the eagles.

You are too young for all that. :D

I actually don't watch Cowboys games live any more. I record them and then wait on the results. I then watch the recording. My heart is much healthier for it and I am far less stressed. Even the losses don't hit as hard. Started doing it late last season.

Anyway, Dallas has to play well to determine their future. If they play well they can beat the teams left on their schedule. If they play poorly, they can lose the 4 remaining games or lose enough to miss the playoffs. it is truly up to them whether they make it to the post season and make it on a high note.

Jez man. There are some very pessimistic folks around here.
I like out chances more today than I did yesterday.

LOL what does you being "focused on the bears" have to do with the Dallas Cowboys winning?
What YOU focus on means nothing... Unless you actually play. What any of us do have no bearing on the game.

I will watch the Eagles and hope they lose even though I dont need your permission. Thanks old timer.

The Eagles are our only competition from here out. Ive known this since week 12. Foles is the leader of that team and he is the difference maker. I am proud of our Cowboys handing him his worst performance yet this season. Hope we are ready again if it all rides on week 17

See, that is what I am talking about! The Lions could win on Sunday, but that is not going to relieve any pressure on the Cowboys winning on Monday Night. The Lions could win and the Cowboys could still lose.

What another team does, does have meaning, I agree with you. But, never should someone seek help from another team if they want to be a playoff caliber team. Screw other teams.

Look, if the Cowboys can't control their own destiny, they don't need to win the division or be in the playoffs.
Do you really want a Cowboys team that backs into the playoffs?
Or let me rephrase that. Would you really have confidence in a Cowboys team that backs into the playoffs?
The Cowboys control their own destiny, as it should be.
I don't care about the Eagles as much as I care about the Cowboys.
If the Cowboys handle their business, it doesn't matter what the Eagles do. We're in the cat bird seat.

Cool, YOU go watch the eagles. I will watch the next game against the Bears.
