Am I the only one?

Am I the only one that thinks we are going to get screwed by having to play the Eagles in back to back weeks in week 17 and the first round of the playoffs?

We always get the bad end of the deal. We just HAD to play the Giants when they happen to be hot in the playoffs

Well that Arizona loss was huge yesterday. Chances are Philly will get the #5 seed, which means if we pull off the #3 seed, we would host a team like Green Bay (likely) or Atlanta (not likely with QB injury). I like our chances at home against GB.

I don't really care who we play in our first playoff game as long as it is at home.

Good teams, no matter the venue or the circumstances, find a way to get it done! Maybe this is the good Cowboys team we have been hoping for.

You play the teams which the playoffs dictate, but it's still early. If this team truly earns a playoff slot, it doesn't matter which team plays us first.

No, i think were either going to have to play arizona or green bay in wildcard game.

I was hoping for a chance to win the 2nd wild card seed, because i thought farve shoulder or throwing arm might not hold up, but the way he looked yesterday, doubt it. I think if were going to make the playoffs, we have to win the nfc east division first, and win at least 11 games to be sure. We have 8 wins so far, we have to win at least 3 more to get into the playoffs possibly.

I think we can beat the giants because their top safety is out and eli manning is struggling along with big mouth jacobs, justin tuck they say sometimes still cant raise his arm above his shoulder, and osi isnt all the way back, then you have pierce most likely not ready to play in this game.

So, we beat the giants, then the chargers at home and phily at home. That would give you 3 wins.

One of those we might not win, so possibly win the washington game in washington. Most likely like Hostile reported, the fans there are going to sell most of their tickets to cowboys fans, so if hardly no Commander fans at their own stadium, might be a momentum shifter that shocks the Commanders players and gives us that win, with a let down on the Commander players.

The only way we play Arizona in the wildcard round is if we do not win the NFC East. I think we win the division so playing Arizona would be impossible until the NFC Championship, which isn't likely.

I don't like the idea of playing any team 3 times in a season. Gives me the heeby jeebies.

Back to back weeks against a division rival doesn't worry you?

If we beat them the week before in the same venue, I dont see how that hurts us. It's a confidence builder.

No more than it worries Eagles fans. They have to play us as well.

Let's make the playoffs first.

They've got the same hurdle in that case. I don't know what the percentages are in game two of back:back games in division, but I bet it's pretty close to 50/50.

 

[Yeagermeister]

Yes

 

[Maikeru-sama]

How exactly would we be getting screwed if this happened?

If you are a Super Bowl team then you should be able to beat anyone, especially when you have home field advantage.

Personally, I would love to see the Cowboys end the Eagles' season.

It would be perfect restitution for what they did to us last year.

I don't know if I would call it being screwed, but it sure appears we're going to have to play someone we've already played in the regular season if we get a wildcard or get the 3rd or 4th seed as a division winner.

Aside from NO & the Vikings, the teams most likely to make the playoffs:

Philly
Green Bay
Atlanta
New York

Who else is in the running?

I just hope that we at least get the home field advantage, especially against Philly.

Do you read this forum? We are the most screwed people on the planet. Constantly loved without lubrication.
