so @ Washington becomes huge. A win and we clinch the best divisional record as Philly can't get to 5. So all we would need to do would be to tie them in overall record.

A lot of work to do for both teams to do between here and there, but right now week 16 looks just as big as week 17.

What is Philly's divisional record right now?

We just have to go 6-0 and beat Oakland. At Bears will be hard since they will have Cutler back and Home vs GB will be hard also because tey will probably have Rodgers back.

Its always nice that teams best player some how come back from injury just in time to play the Cowboys.

Yes. The best they can do in the division is 4-2 and the worst the Cowboys can do is 4-2.

So if end up with the same overall record and divisional record, how are we doing on the other tiebreakers?

Their only remaining divisional game is against us? Interesting.

they still have a hard schedule left. Arizona, Detroit, and Bears.

We control our own destiny. But it starts on turkey day. gotta take care of oakland and hopefully the cards will take out the Eagles.

comes down to conference record. We are 6-2 they are 5-2. We need to beat Oakland and hope the cards can beat the Eagles.

I think the Cards are better than the Eagles. I do worry a tad about OAK, though. We do a good job of beating the teams we're better than, and of playing on Thanksgiving on the short week, but OAK feels like a bit of a trap game sandwiched in between tougher games/division games.

A win Thursday puts us at 7-5. A win vs Chicago, GB or Washington gives us our 8th win. In that scenario Philly would need to lose just one game on their schedule prior to our matchup in order for wk 17 to have playoff implications. They can be 9-6; us 8-7 and a win clinches the division.

I would rather not be in that position given cowboys track record with win and ur in for week 17 games

I would be more comfortable than usual, since it's at home. But I agree, I'd like to take care of it before.

Starts on Turkey Day

I wouldn't either, but breaking the Eagles hearts would be awesome. I'm hoping that in wk 17 we're 10-5 (clinched div) and they're 9-6 (due or die for playoffs) and we crush them back home to Philly!!! Lol!!!

Yes it does. Tonight's game was huge. I think we will win turkey day. Then a nice long week to prepare for next game.
