NFC East remaining schedules and likely outcomes

[jazzcat22]

Yea but dont you think for the future of the team, it would be more beneficial to lose out? Its rare that a 12-4 SB contending team is in play for a top 5 pick the next season. We have a great opportunity to draft Romos successor or a blue chip talent that can give the offense/defense a lift.

Yes we do have a good chance at that, and I would prefer that. But would Jerry actually go QB?
I was just saying, the team would rally and play hard. Like last year after the T-Day loss they plated great after that.
Not saying they will pull it off. As I doubt it. But I expect some better effort. At least until officially eliminated.

Why would anyone want us to make the playoffs without Romo


We would be a 1 and done and lose out on a possible top 5 pick

Why would anyone want to throw away a possible playoff run for a draft pick 5 months away? who says that will be the answer to our QB prayers?
Romo was undrafted, Brady was 6th round pick... we don't need to have a top 5 pick just to replace Romo. The odds of us winning the super bowl are better than having a top 5 pick QB become a success. (How many top 5 picks have gone on to be a bust? Plenty. Definitely not worth throwing a season away for a maybe.

This is getting to be like Linus and the great pumpkin.

LOL homer picks. Dallas will be doing good to finish with 5 wins.

Thread Killer... nice name. Must be dreary in your world. Living in negativity must be rough.

No, losing is never beneficial. Loser mentality does no one any good. All it does is establish an expectation of losing.

 

[canters]

Is that you Spags?

 

[Michael88Irvin]

I give the team a slight chance of splitting with the Commanders.....and a lesser chance of splitting the Jets/Bills games. 5 wins would be miraculous....and I much prefer 3-13 and seeing Kellen Moore the rest of the way....just to make sure he can't play in the NFL.

The team is not giving up... we shouldn't either.

 

[Manwiththeplan]

Why would you even want us to win 7-8 games just to lose in the first round of the playoffs? I can see if Romo would be back by the divisional round, but it really makes no difference. Give me a top 5 pick and a last place schedule.

That is a loser mentality... I don't believe in that.
And I never said I wanted to get in the playoffs to be 1 and done.
once in the playoffs, everyone is 0-0... anything can happen.
We win the 1st game, then a 2nd, then we face AZ or Carolina in the NFC championship. They are beatable.
Anything can happen... never give up

We have the AFC and NFC North next year. Not exactly a last place schedule.

 

[Daillest88]

Lol if we won the division. Id be so happy, I'd laugh so hard at the rivals. We suck cuz romo isn't playing, all those teams suck just because there not talented.. It's crazy...

 

[Manwiththeplan]

I'd agree if a player said what I said, but my feelings have no impact on results, so I disagree.

And I never said I wanted to get in the playoffs to be 1 and done.

We are 0-7 without Romo this year, it is not at all realistic to think we would go 9-0 without him now.

He's referring to the two games each year that are against teams that finished in the same spot in their divisions.

Exaggerate much?


We went on a 7 game losing streak, then dominated Miami once our Leader came back. I doubt another losing streak will create that expectation.

It's just two games so tanking for a weaker schedule notion is moot when it's just two games.

You're doing a bit, right?

Thread Killer... nice name. Must be dreary in your world. Living in negativity must be rough.

I did not say anything negative. If you were not defensive and butt hurt you would see that.

 

[ScipioCowboy]

Honestly, I'd be fine with a playoff berth in lieu of drafting the next Mo Claiborne.

 

[camelboy]

Michael88Irvin .. your scenarios are 100% realistic and not just a fan wishes .. I went through it a week ago and except for us losing to Carolina, so far every result is going according to my prediction .. 7-9 is absolutely a possibility for the division winner ..

This team should go to Monday with a chip on their shoulder for what happened on last year's MNF .. add to that the division title and the fact that this group has another chance to prove all wrong and they CAN WIN w/o Romo.. I cannot think of what else they need for motivation ...

 

[Sydla]

How the hell is going 4-1 or 5-0 "feasible" for the Cowboys but everyone else is going to crap the bed?

We went 0-7 without Romo but now suddenly will got 4-1 without him?

LOL.
