Yeah, but Jerry didn't love Gailey like a son.They're not unless when Jerry said you have to come in first he meant in the east.
Jerry fired Chan Gailey after winning the division at 8-8 and losing to the cardinals in the playoffs.
Here are the common opponents, ignoring the division (assume both are 5-1 and split the series)
Falcons (Cowboys)
Lions (Cowboys)
Packers (Eagles)
Jets (Eagles - ug this one kills me)
Vikings (neither)
Bills (Eagles)
Bears (TBD)
Patriots (neither)
Dolphins (Cowboys)
So yes, if the Cowboys beat the Bears then they only need one more game to get in.

I'm just saying, Garrett has more lives than a cat. Host a playoff game with that full stadium, maybe even win that game somehow, and fans' attitudes will change. Jerry is looking for any reason possible to keep him around and that might be the opening he needs.
Let’s go through this on the fly to make sure.With the Eagles loss today, the best they can hope for is to win out and go 9-7. However, even if they do that by beating us, if we also finish 9-7 by winning our other 3 we would win the common opponents tiebreaker. If we beat them and both finish 8-8 we win by virtue of sweeping the season series. There is no scenario where Dallas goes 9-7 and doesn’t win the division now. We MUST finish 8-8 or worse and, even then, would win the division if we beat Philly unless we lose out otherwise.
In other words, the Eagles now have no say at all in who wins the division. Even if they beat us, they have to win out and us lose another game.
Eagles are begging us to win the division.... and we can’t take it.
With the eagles loss today we could theoretically lose these next two games an then beat the eagles and we’d have the tiebreak.
best scenario for us is eagles lose one more and we win next two.
I for one don’t want it to come down to week 16

The 8th or 9th best team in the conference will win the division.
Just to get slammed by the Seahawks or Vikings or Packers.
Big deal.
We need a new coach.......today
