Basically because we’ve already had our bye and Green Bay hasn’t. They have two conference losses and we have only one.

 

[Carson]

That 4 seed seems like a death trap. Whereas the 2 and 3 seem like excellent matchups teams should win handily

So if the season ends today, it's would be the Rams, still a few games left should be a fun end of the season.

 

[Aven8]

I wouldn’t want to play the Rams or the Vikes again. Cam Newton doesn’t sound fun either. It’s going to be a tough sled to get to the SB folks for any team.

Heck, I would have raised my hand if someone said, "The Boys are going to be top 4 in NFC after 10 games..." Every day of the week. We are doing this (winning and losing) without our full compliment people. Every team is hurting but not every team is winning their division and currently 4th! T-Day is almost here and another chance to put a W on the board.

We need a win Thursday and limp home and run some turkey on the injuries. Rest for a few days. Was hoping for a win. Our Defense held up but the Offense couldn’t make the plays. Looked like the broncos game.

As bad as we played offensively at least we were still in it until late in the 4th qtr. it was over much earlier with Denver. And our defense played much better against KC keeping us in the game.

The blueprint is still out there on stifling our offense along with key injuries slowing us.

If we could have hit that opening pass to Gallup I think it’s a different game. We play with confidence. Missed pass early and then that drop by a wide open Wilson and a drop by Brown was just angering. We have to make those plays in big games. But one follows another. Make a play and the ball starts bouncing our way. If Tyron is out and Williams and Collins are going to get ran over then Moore needs to either go shotgun or roll him out. Or both. We need a play to spark it. We lost a winnable game. I was embarrassed to see that performance..

Big picture baby. Or so we are told. Need to add that one to war daddy, secret sauce and honest offers

 

[jazzcat22]

I just want to win the NFCE for now. Qualify for the playoffs first. I know it is nice to be winning and look ahead as these things. I do it also. And have created a thread about it here and there.
But after that KC loss. I just want to win the next game.

I feel this is a must win game.

hold tiebreaker even though we beat them?

 

[rnr_honeybadger]

Looks like we are headed for another early exit from the playoffs.

 

[Ranched]

Too much football left to even think about this.

Dak needs to add a deep playoff run to his resume.

You hit on an important point. We play better with the lead . And I think why our HC often risk those early 4th downs as he senses this as well.

We just don’t execute as well if we get off to a slow start .

But that’s more about the hype around the game. If we go deep into the playoffs it’s going to be more of a team effort than one guy carrying us . That’s not a recipe for success. I’m not sure Dak is enough for that. And there’s nothing wrong with it.

 

[HungryLion]

Would prefer to not be the 4 seed. All that being said. There’s still 6-7 games to go. So there’s bound to be changes

 

[Creeper]

Too soon. The Cowboys are going to have to win the division first. The Eagles have a big game with the Giants this week. I think the Eagles will win but the Giants are a funny team. You never know when they might pull one out of their butts.

In any case the Cowboys could be missing 5 starters again Thursday depending on CeeDee and Tyron. Without those 5 players, beating Vegas is going to be difficult. I know everyone is saying Vegas is demoralized, but momentum can swing very easily. All it takes is one play by them or a bad play by Dallas and who knows. If the Cowboys offense sputters gain and it is a close game, anything can happen. Personally, I think being on national TV playing America's team will be more than enough to fire them up. Also, their interim coach was a Cowboys coach.

If the Cowboys lose and the Eagles win, Dallas is 7-4 and the Eagles will be 6-6 and these two teams play the last game of the year. Before that, the Cowboys have to get past New Orleans in New Orleans, and Arizona who might be playing for home field advantage.

The Cowboys should not be worrying about seeding just yet. Win the next 2 games and them maybe they can start thinking about it. The Cowboys will probably need 11 wins to win the division.
