That win caused us at least 6 spots in the draft

The jets finished one game behind us in the loss column but are picking 11th. If we lost yesterday we would be picking 10th instead of 17. I usually don’t care for losing for draft positioning but that’s a low to mid round jump. We messed up.

 

[Hardline]

I'm pretty sure losing this game would've given us the 10 th pick.

Yes and the Giants were tied with Eagles mid third and Daniel Jones fumbled a snap down 3.

You can’t tell a bunch of guys to go out there and lose. We got screwed over by them changing the time out of our game or the Eagles game. Had that game happened first and they still went out there and won? That’s more troublesome. But you can’t tell these guys to lose in a game they need to make the playoffs. That being said.....I don’t think they could’ve lost to the Commanders on purpose. Skins were just bad.

I was trying to watch both games at the same time....that moment there I knew it was over.

So what you're saying is that they messed up because you were hoping the team would just roll over and play dead despite the fact that there was a game going on at the same time to decide a play-off berth? This just to gain some draft spots? I can assure you that not one single player on the Dallas Cowboys is concerned with their position in next year's draft.

The Commanders were not winning this game. Cooper Rush would have won this game.

Would have been an interesting game with both teams trying to lose.

you finish the season as you finish the season. while i agree it was about a worthless victory, it was also a pretty worthless season filled with only the most disappointment i've ever felt for an entire team for an entire season.

i've seen the cowboys lay down and die enough this year. if they had anything at all to play for, they have to play for it. this "losers mentality wins" is pretty absurd.

 

[Idgit]

Good.

 

[DCreppinBoysfan]

Guys I understand. I said I’m not one for losing but just looking at the jets draft position and seeing where we could’ve been is a lil sad. I’ll feel better once BLACK Monday makes it way to our facility and leaves with a couple of coaches

 

[ItzKelz]

Good thing we don't have to draft a coach......

 

[uvaballa]

A few draft spots don’t make a huge difference unless you’re in the top 5. There are good teams drafting in the 20s every year and they seem to find pretty good players to keep winning.

 

[noshame]

If we knew the eagles won ahead of time I would have sat Dak, cooper and every other injured player. But that's as far as I can go.

People fuss about draft position every year then end up complaining about the guys Dallas passed on who were still available at their pick.

Draft position has meant little for the Cowboys over the last 20+ years.

The Garrett legacy.

Go back and look at how many times he's done this exact same thing in the past.

He can't win the games that count, but the meaningless ones that do nothing but hurt draft position? That's his thing.

 

[Cowboysheelsreds053]

A couple of spots was the difference in us not getting Aaron Donald also.

 

[1972COWBOY]

It wont matter if we have the number 1 pick, Dallas still won't utilize his skills to his potential.

The win yesterday has far worse ramifications than draft position - it has Jerry once again rethinking Garrett's future.

Losers want to lose.
