I'd really love to see a 6-10 team in the playoffs hosting a game

Because that isn't how some people think. You're glass half empty debbie downer kinda guy.

Some are "we still got water!" folks.
No sir, I'm a realist. My glass is not half empty. If I thought there was any chance I would be ecstatic. This is like animal fight night. Lamb VS lion

These people that have become enamored because Dallas has bested some of the bottom feeders will come crashing down soon. I'm very happy this team has some talent and heart. Thats means its not a lost case and we have building bricks in place. To put them in front of top talent right now is just crazy.

See that's the thing. You think because people cheer on the cowboys they are ready for the shangra la....the yellow brick road to the magic land.

Simply not the case. Some fans just cheer on the team for as long as they can.....season is very short...another game would be GREAT! Especially given the challenges of the season and our ineptness...we made it and who gives a flying freak WHY.....except the debbie downers who think they are SO superior with their stoic stance.

I'm not afraid to emotionally invest. I'm not afraid nor embarrassed. I personally don't care what other people think of my team...so there's no need for embarrassment.

I don't just fan during the wins. It doesn't matter to me who we beat to get to the next game. It's another chance to watch my Cowboys before the long cold dead time. It's a chance for the Cowboys to load up, set up and suit up. That is never a bad thing. And you just never know....so I chose to cheer them on.

I do appreciate you also see the good things....so you're not a "hater". Just a different way you fan. All good.

People who root for the big pic scenarios are not downers.

No chit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Maybe then they'd consider getting rid of this ridiculous 4 team division crappfest.

I'm surprised this hasn't happened more often. Who didn't see this coming with eight 4 team divisions? What's lost in all of this is how many times has an 8-8 division winner prevented a better team from making the playoffs? Around 7 times since the realignment. Before the realignment, 1 time in like the last 30 years.

"big pic scenarios"?

Hoping to lose...is not a "big pic scenario"..in my book.

Look...if you do your best...you do all the right things...and lose...okay fine. Let's pick the fruit of the tree.

The draft picks are phantoms. DOing your best to win....is real.

What amuses me about a 6-10 playoff team is that they'd enter the Super Bowl at 9-10 and need to win it to get to .500 for the year.

If Dallas wins but so does Wash this place is gonna blow up.

I want to get to winning consistently just so we dont have to deal with this every year.

Then again, that may be a tall order.

The Joneses dont make splashes and go for it in any given year, yet still cant contend consistently.

I've been saying for years two 16 team conferences no division. everyone plays everyone once then the afc team that finished in the same spot as you do. now would need to add another game cause of them adding a 17th game.

The Gnats have the tiebreaker if Cowboys n WASH lose n they win?

Yes. It goes to 3 team tie breakers. The Giants win the first tie breaker which is record against the two other teams. If the Giants win they will be 3-1 against Dallas And Wash. Dallas will be 1-3 and Wash. 2-2.

If you think thats the embarrassment....just wait to see them get their heads bashed in by the other team. That will really knock your socks off.

The divisions keep interest. Gives you particular teams to dislike as well.
You could still have the rivalry with Eagles, Giants, and Football Team but you could also build on the one with Packers and 49ers and revive one with Cards. Really a lot of potential to create some big rivalries and ratings.

I said early on in the season that 6 or 7 wins would probably win the division. Especially after Dak went down . I though with Dak we could have easily win division with 8 or 9 wins.

This season had many challenges. We always knew we might not finish it or some players might miss games, etc . And we still aren’t certain how it will finish.

It’s always possible some stars could have to sit out in the playoffs if they test positive or have to quarantine. What if a Brady, Rodgers or Brady have sit for example?

We’ve had 7-9 division winner before. And they beat the defending champs in the playoffs.

6-10 really isn’t much of a stretch considering all of the contributing factors. We have all 4 divisional teams without their starting QB’s playing arguably the best division in both conferences.

Exactly. It's odd for me to see people hope we lose. I will take one more game ANY DAY. It's no "embarrassment"...it's another game!

Season is too short!
While losing has benefits in the draft it’s still not an objective.
