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

[Fizziksman]

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

and hurt our position to fire the coaching staff.

I wish I had a dollar for every "fan" who explains how losing improves draft position, which suggests there's something wrong with how draft picks are doled out.

Not sure why you put quotes around the word fan but my point still stands.

 

[Jake]

Our position? I didn't know Jerry was waiting for our input.

He's not firing Garrett. Even if he did, odds are he'd make another silly hire.

Try to enjoy whatever wins we get.

 

[jordan4vols]

So basically we need Atlanta to lose 2 and Seattle to lose one other than our game correct?

 

[Jake]

Not sure why you put quotes around the word fan but my point still stands.

I put quotes around it because rooting for losses isn't what a fan does, and your "point" is pointless - no one here needs that explained to them.

 

[Hardline]

Getting into the playoffs is fools gold.
Now if the Packers by some divine intervention makes it into the final wildcard spot with a healthy Aaron Rodgers will win the Super Bowl.

Well I'm rooting for losses because it's pointless to win these games and I'm still a fan regardless of what an anonymous person on the internet thinks.

The Pack, even with the great AR, aren't beating Philly in Philly.

We need to win out and see what happens. I doubt we'll win out, so fussing over what other teams do is probably an empty exercise.

Better them than the Eagles.

You don't know that.

Have fun rooting for losses. Sounds like a great time to me.

 

[Hardline]

I would bet a ton of cash you are wrong.

 

[Wayne02]

The day I find myself doing that, I'll do something else on Sundays.

Good for you.

 

[CATCH17]

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

I agree with both of you.

 

[CATCH17]

We need to win out and see what happens. I doubt we'll win out, so fussing over what other teams do is probably an empty exercise.

If we beat Oakland anything is possible with Elliot in the backfield.

 

[mardwin]

10 wins and missing the playoffs should motivate them next year

13-3 and being one and done in the playoffs should have accomplished that.

 

[Kevinicus]

Our odd to make the playoffs you mean?

Yes

 

[PA Cowboy Fan]

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

With this team something else will happen that we don't know about yet.
