Could Cowboys run the Table after Philly?

[Jkyle]

Win or lose against Philly, it's not inconceivable that the Cowboys could run the table afterwards.
None of the remaining opponents are superior on paper.
Chargers, Commanders, Giants, Seahawks (Kam Chancellor is reported to be out for the rest of the year so that leaves them without him and Sherman), Oakland, and Philly (may be resting due to home field clinched).
That would put us at 11-5.
We may have to be 11-5 to clinch a Wild Card due to losing to the Falcons and possibly the Rams.
I just worry that losing to Philly in a bad fashion will have a bad effect on the team's psyche.
How we look against Philly in a loss will determine if we have a legitimate shot to move forward with any confidence that they are playoff worthy.

Maybe, will they? With this coaching we've got, I highly doubt it.

 

[EST_1986]

Is Garrett still head coach? If yes, then no

 

[aria]

I said it yesterday, even if we lose tomorrow I think there's a very real possibility we still make the playoffs for many of the reasons you mentioned.

 

[Aven8]

Did Zeke get a stay of execution?? Then No.

Hell the Chargers will be tough with Rivers, and Gordon, plus Ingram and Bosa. Bosa will man handle Bell or Green.

 

[Tabascocat]

Nope, even without the injuries and suspensions, Dallas can't get out of their own way. The coaching is not there to do so.

 

[canters]

IF we get Lee and Smith back, and maybe Bailey, it might or could happen. Our coaches so far and in recent history have not shown they can handle ANY adversity and overcome. I must admit it is a long shot. I think we need 11 wins to get in-10 wins would probably get us caught in tie breakers.

 

[Idgit]

Definitely all winnable games where the Cowboys are likely to be favored.

But then I thought the Falcons were in that group, too.

ok, I've posted this 4 times on this board already, but what are the tiebreaker scenarios if there a 3 teams tied for 1 wildcard spot? it's not head tot head right?

Head to head if it applies. Then it goes to conference won-loss records.

 

[Bullflop]

As far as thoughts of running the table after Philly, I'm not entertaining any. I'll be ecstatic if we somehow manage a win over Philly. In fact, I'd be absolutely thrilled beyond belief if we were fortunate enough to run the table after that. Actually, I'd honestly consider it a miracle.

 

[The Quest for Six]

I have them going 9-7 this year so, NO....

 

[Elziegreat83]

Head to head if it applies. Then it goes to conference won-loss records.

but not if it's a 3 way tie right? wouldn't it go straight to conf. and div. record?

 

[JohnsKey19]

Need to see them win one first without Zeke and Lee before thinking about a long streak.

 

[Idgit]

If the won-loss records, the head to heads, and the conference records are all ties or inapplicable? Then I think it goes won-loss in common games. Then strength of victories (number of wins of teams each team beat). Then strength of schedule overall, I believe.

lets just say for example, dallas, Carolina, and Atlanta are 10-6. how does that scenario pan out?

It’s very complicated for 3 or more teams in a wild card, but generally it’s going to be conference winning percentage. If Washington were to be one of the teams in the tie, then first we would have to settle the tie with Washington (first head to head, if 1-1 then division record, etc. ) and then once there is only one team from each division in the tie breaker, you do a tie breaker with just those teams left.

 

[Super_Kazuya]

In that case, it’s just going to be conference record followed by common opponent record... after the Carolina/Atlanta tie breaker is sorted. Unless it’s Atlanta who emerges from that tie breaker.

lets say Carolina, holds the tiebreaker, Atlantas win against Dallas head to head would have no bearing at that point right?

Unlike many, I am not writing off tomorrow or the division.

we have our backs against the wall and i expect us to come out fighting!
