Didn't say he wasn't worth a top 5 pick did I? FACT is he hasn't played a single snap in nfl and you proclaim him a shutdown nfl corner. If you wanna hot take Pollyanna have at it. I'll let em prove it first over time.

The Cowboys definitely have the easiest schedule. I am not sure if the Eagles team that beat New Orleans is real or not. Some thought the Giants were real and look what Arizona did to them. Andrew Siciliano went so far as to state "No one wants to play the Giants right now", after the Giants beat a banged up Seattle Seahawks team. Here are the remaining opponents for each team:
Dallas - San Francisco (5-8), Philadelphia (4-8-1), NY Giants (5-8), combined record 14-24-1
Philadelphia - Arizona (7-6), Dallas (4-9), Washington (6-7), combined record 17-22
Washington - Seattle (9-4), Carolina (4-9), Philadelphia (4-8-1), combined record 17-21-1
NY Giants - Cleveland (9-4), Baltimore (8-5), Dallas (4-9), combined record 21-18
If Dallas wins out, they can go 7-9, but Washington would have to lose out for Dallas to win the division. Washington should beat Carolina, but nothing is a given.
This week is huge for both Washington and Philadelphia. If the Eagles beat Arizona and the WFT loses to Seattle, then I can see both teams winning the following week setting up week 17 as the division title game. The Eagles are getting some players back but not on their offensive line. That could be a huge factor against the WFT DL.
I am not convinced the WFT is for real. I think if you can block the Washington DL long enough for your QB to get the ball downfield, the WFT is vulnerable there. I am not convinced Hurts is for real either. I think once teams get more film to study of Hurts, they will figure out how to defend him. But I do like his speed when he run the ball. That is a real weapon and forces defenses to pay attention to him all the time taking pressure off the RBs and receivers. I am convinced the Giants are terrible, and so are the Cowboys, despite beating Cincinnati.

They can also go 4-12 if they play to win.

With how WAS has played for Rivera this season, I think that CAR win is a forgone conclusion.

Haha that’s classic lol.It is highly likely your prediction could be right. CowboysZone has had its share of membership meltdowns. Some meltdowns have been epic. The site would recover as always. I doubt the same will be said of some folks' televisions.
There is a noticeable amount of personal anticipation wrapped up within the Hoping The Team Loses For A Higher Seed Jerry Jones Might Not Fumble mantra. It is almost a certainty some televisions, somewhere in cowboyszone, would not survive the team getting a playoff berth.

Nice thought, but because Washington got the season sweep on us we would need them to lose out... I can see them losing to the two Bird teams they have left (Hawks and Eagles) but with the way the Panthers have been lately, can't see them losing that one.

Nope, SF is a garbage team as well. It will be a good matchup. I see a close game all the way to the 4th quarter. If the Cowboys are playing to win, they will.

They play to win.
They play hard.
They really want it.
Anything can happen.
It's 2020.
And who knows maybe, just maybe, they make a run at this thing.
Every game matters. EVERY GAME.

Like what would expect?
And what do we get if we win.?
We lose our Top 10 pick..
in the playoffs we get to play the highest seeded team first round and we exit.
I would prefer that we just stop any plan to win.
It's the only chance we have of improving our talent base.
It just seems the only way to move forward.

Would you rather be a possible 6-10 team winning a very weak division Knowing you'll get creamed in your first playoff game, or draft higher in every round??

I can’t wait until the 2021 preseason games. We better play our starters the entire game ensuring victory. I will be upset if we aren’t undefeated.They play to win.
They play hard.
