We'd get in as the 6th seed and play at Arizona I think, even if Arizona wins tonight to go 9-4 and tie Philly. Philly has more NFC wins (8-2, Arizona would be 7-2). Green Bay would go to Philly in the other wild card game.

Philly's last 3 games are vs SF and Denver at home, then at Dallas. Philly could easily win 2 of 3 and finish 11-5, which would win the division unless we win out and Philly's only loss is our game.

NYG's final 3 are at Washington, Carolina at home and at Minnesota. NYG could win 2 of 3 and finish 9-7, which would get them in unless we win 2 of 3 to finish 10-6.

Atlanta and SF have outside chances of getting in. But both of those teams have very slim chances. SF would need to win out to finish 9-7, they have two gimmee's to close the season but play Arizona tonight and then at Philly. Atlanta has all sort so injury issues and probably wont have Matt Ryan for the Jets game again.
 
Dude, if we got in it would be because we backed in. Making the playoffs at this point would be a joke. When you gave to hope for other teams to lose instead of earning you're way in, that should tell you something. If we get it we should thank the rest of the NFL for being so bad.
 
Obviously I want the team to win and make it to the playoffs. But even if we do, I just see another first round, wild card exits. We'll be the one game in the wild card weekend that everyone points to and says, 'oh this game is gonna suck'

I believe the Cardinals backed in last year. So what.
 
que 10-20 Jim Mora playoffs??!!! pics and vids :laugh2:
 
Our last trip to Arizona resulted in Dallas being the first team in NFL history to lose in OT from a blocked punt.:eek:


McBriar was then carted off the field with a broken foot.:mad:

We need at least 2 out of 3, maybe even all 3 to make it. If we can do that, I wouldn't call that backing in. My guess is a surprisingly close loss in NO, dirty win in Washington and then the annual humiliation when it really counts.
 
Last time this team had a chance to sneak into the playoffs..

What happened???

Blown out by the eagles..

People probably think I am crazy but I still think the Cowboys will make the Playoffs.

I believe we will lose at least 1 more game but I believe we will be the beneficiaries of other teams losing.

If Philly's the 3rd seed, wouldn't Dallas play them if they got in as the 6th?
 
First off, hardly matters if we get it...if we do, it'll be by backing in and get our butts handed to us in the playoffs.

I am so tired of rooting against other teams so that our chances will improve.

Secondly, It is VERY possible, even probable, the Giants win all three. Washington, Carolina...easy. The Vikings with nothing to play for, probably and easy game too.

The Cowboys lose one game of their final three, and it's over.

Yes they would play the eagles. So even then IF we make the playoffs we will get blown out in Philly...and thats not even funny.
 
I'll take playoffs any way I can get it. People need to quit acting so defeatist, like we can't even hang with teams like NY and SD. Grow up crybabies.
 
Not true.

If the Cowboys get into the Playoffs, it will be because we won some games in December.

I could care less how the Cowboys get into the Playoffs.

Once you get into the Playoffs, it's one and done and anybody can get on a hot streak.

One of the big whigs at work just told me we are going 0-5 in December, I told him we will make the Playoffs.

Only time will tell!

Also, if the Playoffs started today, we would be in. Doesn't matter because they don't start today but just goes to show you we are right in the thick of things.

Agreed. To hell with this "backing in" & "it doesn't matter because they'll go one & done" crap...once we're in anything can happen...yes, "realists", anything!!

Yeah we can hang with them but at some point we will gift wrap them the game.

3rd down defense? IT could be 3rd and 48 and I wouldn't feel comfortable the D would get off the field.

Who cares if you back in or slide in head first? it's every teams goal to make the post season isn't. I'll take the playoffs anyway it comes...
