When I look at the Schedule I feel like the Cowboy might be able to catch the saints. But they probably can't lose another game.

Only if the Saints lose to New England.

I'd say very unlikely. Dallas has a tough road.

We'd have to pretty much win out, so I don't see it happening. The Saints' schedule also is easier than our's. I can't see them losing more than three of those games.

I don't think we can, but then again we really don't have to.

We should just try and catch the Vikings but it will be hard to catch either team unless they have a collapse.

I think our best bet is to win enough games so that we can rest our players in week 17 (Eagles game).




I do think though that if the Saints lose to the Patriots that they could unravel a little bit towards the end and maybe lose 3 games.

I think they are a good team but they are still a finesse style of team and they can be beat in the playoffs.

We match up well with all of these teams though but 1st round bye is looking bleek.

They seem like they are this years Tennessee Titans.

The Titans smacked the Steelers around last December and everyone had gave the Titans the Superbowl after that game.

Considering we'd have to win out in both scenarios, and we get to play the Saints, we might as well catch the Saints and the Vikings.

Either way, we're not likely to get a bye two plus games back with harder schedules than either of those teams, both of whom are playing better than we are.

What I want to see is GB make the playoffs and go into the Metrodome and knock off Favre.

There is so many things to think about it kinda makes your head spin.

What if we have to play the Eagles 2 weeks in a row?

If we have to go on the road in the playoffs i'd prefer it be in a dome so thats the only positive I can think of when it comes to the Saints and Vikings getting the Bye.

Things are about to get real interesting starting next week and we need to get a W.

How can one not be sold on the Saints yet?

I'm more concerned with MAKING the Playoffs, than what SEED we'd be.

Im sold on them. But I dont think they are the unbeatable force that a lot of people do.

They are a finesse football team and how many teams win Superbowls with that play style?

I still like the Vikings more than the Saints too.

I dont see us catching the saints, but we might be able to catch the vikings

why? i still have to see how Farve's arm is holding up at mid december.

generally that time of the year, his throws start deteroiating


so we might be better off catching the vikings and have 2nd seed bye week

Ive had a feeling for weeks that the Saints are begging to be beat and that Belicheat will figure out and expose the Saints O...their secondary is beat up ......I feel they will lose to Pats, Cowboys and Carolina down the stretch and finish 13-3.............i think the boys win ...against Saints, Wash, Giants, and SD and lose to Philly and finish 12-4...so no i dont think they catch Saints but will be ready for them if we meet in playoffs....Vikings are the only team i dont wanna play.....Allen will beat Adams like a drum

I don't think NO is one of the all-time great teams. I think they can be beat if Brees has an off-day and the other team can expose their defensive weaknesses. They have had a great run though. The Pats will be a great measuring stick for them.

Am I the only one who doesn't want the bye considering what happened two years ago?

I feel that that extra week gives these guys too much time to think about the game.

Go out there Week 17, beat Philly and establish some momentum. Get confident for that Wild Card game. Beat whatever inferior team they put in front of us.

End that damn winless streak.

I dont think that will happen this year, not with Keith Brooking on the team, Jason Witten growing up and finally becoming a leader too, with Bradie and Ratliff becoming leaders too.

Just think this team is too focused and it might actually help us with the bye week to get guys that are bruised up to recover from aches and pains.

And we might be able to get Columbo back by then after that bye week, going into that championship game if the Cowboys can get there, you want all of your star players on the team playing. Columbo is one of them.

Dont know if he can come back that quick, but Columbo isnt on the injured reserve yet, so I am thinking that the Cowboys plan on him coming back.

By that time, I think Doug Free will be bruised up and beaten up alittle for not playing alittle. That way you could slowly put Columbo in the game to get his footing back, while Doug Free plays alittle too and Free gets some rest too.

Just my thoughts.

They've barely beaten some bad teams.

They could just as easily be 8-2 or 7-3 right now.

I'm not sold on their division being that tough either.
