We won, but playoff chances still hurt in "process"

[Wayne02]

Winning these games will only hurt our draft position, because the Cowboys are not making the playoffs.

 

[CowboyRoy]

Doesn't look like it's in the cards to make the playoffs. Still need to win out and see how things play out though.

That is just silly

Yep but it's too late now. Might as well win out and see what happens.

Y are some people too brain dead to realize that?

 

[MagicMan]

Basically we need Detroit to lose again, Atlanta to lose two of their last three. Seattle to lose two NFC games and for and GB to lose again.

and for a comet to hit philly and we win the division by default.....

 

[bsbellomy]

Minnesota and New Orleans have been no help these past few weeks!

Minnesota beat the Falcons last week, and the Saints beat Carolina.

Or a Wentz injury... I could see them losing out without Wentz

You're right....i guess my short term memory remembers them losing their last two (important for dallas) games.

That is just silly

Usually a team needs some breaks to fall their way Roy...like Drew Brees not throwing a bonehead pick Thursday night; the albeit hapless Browns hanging on to a 14pt lead and not losing in OT; the Bucs holding a lead in back to back weeks in games Cowboys fans need them to win. The breaks aren't going the 'Boys way right now.

They still need to do all they can to stay in the race though and that means winning out.

Because tanking does not make you better. The teams that are at the top are drafting well beyond the first round.

 

[Fletch]

13-3 and making the playoffs didn't motivate them this year.

No. It motivated the NFL to suspend arguably the best NFL player, Zeke, for 6 games, when there was nothing there.

How ya like them apples?

 

[Verdict]

We did our part and won thanks to some big plays late in the game.

But GB, Detroit, Carolina all won, Atlanta won Thursday night.
So now at least if Seattle loses it helps. But chances really look even less likely.

Still need losses by GB and Detroit, 2 losses by Atlanta and Seattle.

GB and Detroit play each other, so one is out, but the other will still need a loss.
Or Carolina needs 2 losses as well, and they play GB & Atlanta.

Too much to get into right now.

It's so unlikely to line up for us that it's almost not worth talking about at this point. It would almost take a perfect storm for us to get in at this point.

GB-Detroit play each other so one of them will. Seattle plays us so that's pretty much self explanatory. The Falcons have the Saints, Panthers and Bucs left. We'll see. Would be interesting.

 

[Verdict]

It really would be nice if Philly lost to the Rams.

 

[Kevinicus]

If we win out, our odds are now at 63%. If Seattle and Philly lose today, it jumps back to 75%.

 

[Kevinicus]

Minnesota and New Orleans have been no help these past few weeks!

Just this week. We still need them in werk 16.

 

[ak47kaehu]

Our odd to make the playoffs you mean?

13-3 and making the playoffs didn't motivate them this year.

Last year, they concluded they needed to blow-up the secondary. This year, they will conclude they don't have to blow up anything.

 

[MagicMan]

Last year, they concluded they needed to blow-up the secondary. This year, they will conclude they don't have to blow up anything.

i would vote for blowing up Garrett's car with him, marinelli and whatshisface in it......

p,.s. just a joke folks, don't get bent out of shape..

 

[Cowboy89]

Worst case is we win out, don’t make the playoffs, and keep Garrett.

Talk about a trifecta of bad things that could happen.


Let’s go Jags....

GB has another loss in them I think.

Yep....nightmare scenario. But hey they were able to beat up on the Giants & Skins. Gimme a clap!!!
