Big Picture

That was what they did in our 13-3 year ........ and we lost our momentum and fell flat.

We won a weak division. Still an amazing job with non divisional teams we beat but it is what it is. I'm not sure the players we would rest would want to. They know what's ahead of them. I think they want to end the season on a high and start the new season strong.

No this is incorrect. Sea loses to STL next week and we win and we get the bye

So we have to win to get a bye. So the game means something? We play at noon, which sucks, cuz we won't know the outcomes of those games. So I would like to play to win and do our part to get a real bye.

I thought you said things weren't going Cowboys way last week? still scratching my head on that one.

Where did I say that?

This isn't 2007.

This is a young team ........ young players cannot turn it on and off like vet teams.

We have momentum ...... we need to roll with it.

We won't have a bye week this time for players to slough off to Cabo. Oh, and no Jessica Simpson this time either.....

Exactly.

Go check the playoff generators, that isn't true. Win or lose, and we would still get the bye in that case.

I hope we learned from that mistake. Play to win, or rest your starters.

Momentum had zero to do with that loss. The O line turned to tissue that 2nd half.

Don't disagree with the premise .. But "they" was a different team... Different coaching staff etc..
I understand your point .. But that's really Apple vs oranges

The three way tiebreaker settles all three seeds? They don't use it only to settle the top seed and then use the two way tiebreakers to determine seeding between the remaining two teams?

I have no idea how it breaks down, but we don't come out favorably in the tie breakers.

We had lost our momentum long before that. The team was stumbling and injuries were mounting before we rested for a week.

Technically we could become the 1st seed if Green Bay and Detroit tie (and Arizona loses out).

.

If Green Bay and Detroit tie next weekend and Seattle wins their final two games, then Dallas would get the #1 seed by beating Washington. It won't matter if Arizona wins or loses next week if those other things happen. It is very unlikely that the Packers and Lions tie. The odds are Dallas will be the #3 seed.

Huh? Sea would be 11-5. We'd be 12-4.

Playoff bye
