Can we lose the next 3 and still get in?

is this mathematically possible? I know we would need help but what would have to happen for the Perfect Storm scenario
short of losing 3 straight, I know we have a chance if we win 2 of 3 with outside help

Yes mathematically possible, highly unlikely

Possible mathmatically. Giants would need to lose out and SF would have to lose 2 of 3. Atlanta would also need to lose one.

If we lose the next three and still get in we should probably just forefit.

If we lose the next 3 I'd rahter not get in because we won't go far. In that case, I'd rahter have the higher draft pick than what playoff teams get.

Yea I don't think that entering the playoffs on a five game losing streak would be beneficial.

This team is borderline needing to be put out of its misery so delaying the inevitable by 1 week could be considered cruel.

Why?

Seriously, why would you want that? And 8-8 team going up against real playoff competition?

No thanks.

Why not? SD was 8-8 last year went to the playoffs beating the Colts before losing to Pitt

How about a 9-7 team should they want to go?

I'm not crazy about the prospect of being 8-8 but if somehow that got us into post season I sure would not turn down the opportunity.

I agree, but, the damn torture of the tease that comes with it can become unbearing.

I don't think this team can catch lightning in a bottle. But, if they did, I am all for it.

For who? I know I'm not going to feel better because they did not make it and while I would not be thrilled with 8-8 I'll take a playoff shot anytime it comes and every team sitting at home would take it as well.

If we go 0-5 in December, I am not sure we should get in, even though I will take it.

If we go 8-8 I highly doubt we will make the post season so that is the least of my worry but by some stroke of luck it was to happen I'd take it no question asked. We may have slim chances in that case but teams sitting at home have no chance.

You have a sense of humor. But no.

And if we lose the next 3 games, we DO NOT DESERVE TO GET INTO THE PLAYOFFS.

Yes, it's possible. In fact, we should just count on that and rest our starters for the next three games! ;) :cool:

It's a legitimate question. I think Adam said we had a .5% chance of making the playoffs at 8-8.

I think if we win our last two we are in. We have enough talent to make a playoff run. We'll need to play better than the last two games though to make it anywhere.

I won't be embarrassed to make the playoffs at 10-6. Or 9-7 even. I'd prefer 11-5.

yes it could happen but asking that leads be to believe he thinks we cant beat anyone of the three teams. I personally think we c.inched division week 17. December is not a cursed month for the cowboys, We ALWAYS play good teams in this month,and being in the toughest division in football doesnt help.

personally...i think this team wins 1 more game, maybe. at washington is the best shot, and that is not a gimme.

we alll know what the saints are doing, and philly is really starting to get things going.

9-7 is a very real possibility, and that is not a lock for a playoff spot.

i can only pray that will speed the departure of wage and garrett. i have no faith in this team as long as those two clowns are on the sidelines calling the shots.
