Co-Worker told me that it was possible that we could go 11-5

and miss the playoffs I said he was off his rocker. Is this true?

 

[The Natural]

Yes, we can go 11-5 and miss the playoffs.

 

[TheFinisher]

Easily, we don't win any of the tiebreakers because of our poor conference record. If we go 2-1 to get to 11-5 we would need someone out of PHI, DET, GB, or SEA to go 1-2 OR need ARZ to lose all 3 of their remaining games.

Looks like we have to win out to get in.

Oh my God I see why people are saying the Commander game could come back and kill us

We don't make it easy for ourselves. So basically the playoffs start for us on Sundaynight

will not be easy but this is the task at hand. I'm not banking on any other team losing twice, if this team wants in the playoffs they need to go 3-0. We'll see how bad they want it.

That is true with any loss.

Not only true but likely if Arizona and Detroit do not start losing more.

It is the easiest game to point to. It was against a bad opponent that has not won since where the Cowboys could have still squeaked by had they stayed true to character.

 

[Doomsday101]

My only concern right now is getting to 10-4 and having the Cowboys with the inside track to post season.

 

[Joe Realist]

This team is not making the playoffs, sorry.

 

[Zimmy Lives]

11-5 gives the Cowboys great odds to make the playoffs. Only two 11-5 teams have ever missed the playoffs, I believe. 10-6 will get you an AZ Cardinals situation similar to last year.

 

[TrailBlazer]

Not only true but likely if Arizona and Detroit do not start losing more.

Why do we want Arizona to lose? I think Percy said we want Zona to win the west. We hold the tie breaker over seattle. Just as long as Detroit loses.

Not great odds at all. Need a ton of help. Improbable

I have my doubts..big time!!! 2 good offenses back to back..not looking good.

Same here. Looking ahead since we still something to play for after a 9-4 start.

THe only game i see detroit losing is the last game against GB in LAMBEAU. There other 2 are vikings and bears.

 

[Tabascocat]

Why do we want Arizona to lose? I think Percy said we want Zona to win the west. We hold the tie breaker over seattle. Just as long as Detroit loses.

Only because most of us are assuming that Seattle wins the West, thus erasing our H2H for a wildcard. Ideally, we want Arizona to hang on and for Seattle to not get more than 11 wins and for either DET or GB to get 10 max.

The good news so far is that SF is all but out of it.

 

[RLand]

Best/Worst case of 11-5: Worst case is 11-5 and missing the playoffs. Best case is 11-5 and getting the #2 seed (if Philly finishes as 10-6, which is highly unlikely).
