There is a decent chance that we could play Philly 2 weeks in a row. Week 17 which may be for the division and then the wildcard game. In my opinion this is a tough situation because you want to win week 17 to take the division and a home game but you don't want to lay it all out and then play again in a week. It can't be easy to beat the same team twice in back to back weeks especially a division rival. With GB winning and Philly losing yesterday it increases the chance of GB getting the wildcard.

Is anybody buying?

Sell... we could've distanced ourselves 2 games in the division.

Its all good though as long as we win these next 2. But if we dont than this game will hurt us a lot more than it actually does as of today.

So you want to play the team that pretty much blanked us again? I'm really not sure now if I'd rather play Philly or GB at this point in a playoff game.

Sell: We lost Columbo for the year, gave opposing defenses a perfect blueprint for how to beat us (And we can't change it up because our OC can't make adjustments), and a loss like this is never good for team confidence. GB is not a good team.

I'd rather get Green Bay @ home than the Eagles @ Dallas.


Speeking of playing @ home im glad we get 2 home games and a mini bye here shortly.

Sell. Losses never help you win. If this team was going to learn from losses they would be a lot more like the Pats, Colts, Vikings and Saints than they are. They just don't learn from mistakes (although they constantly tell us they will) and I forsee a very dismal Dec and maybe even Nov this year.

BTW, Can anyone critique the play of Doug Free?...

Last week it was SB and bye week now it is the blueprint is out on us and we are toast. Do people ever get tired of the over reaction to a single game. Dallas played bad we lost nothing more nothing less. They sit in 1st knowing they have a lot of work to do as a team to improve

This team has had too many losses that are supposed to help us for me to buy that crap anymore.

...they got kicked below the belt more than a few times down the stretch last year...we all know the results...they did'nt learn from any of it as the 44-6 drubbing at the Linc made evident...

Sell: The only way this loss helps us is if Wade takes over the offense to. Yeah Garrett and his 47 pass attempts needs to be checked...

true - im just saying that it might not be a bad thing to bring this team back to reality and know that they have to work much harder to compete down the stretch.

Personally, i felt that after colombo went down we were shocked for three quarters until garbage time - felt like we never got started again after that. Defense held up as long as they could but once jenkins went out there was no holdin it back any longer.

so since i dont feel like we played too bad, offense didn't have too many opputunities but romo threw well for the most part, and defense didn't give up much more than short passess, plus the shock to our confidence...so yea, im buyin this

Roy Williams needs more kicks to the nuts...

Sell, obviously. A Loss never helps with anything.

All of that being said, however, I'm hoping we win the division so we get 3rd or 4th seeding. I think the best scenario for this team is to not have a first round bye in the playoffs.
