Cowboys playoffs picture not looking good

[DuceizBak]

Let's be honest with ourselves...even if we were 16-0...do you trust this coaching staff to honestly outcoach anybody?
The only way we win with this current coaching staff is if our team is just flat out superior in talent, and athleticism.
Seriously. I'm a fan of boxing, and a lot of times you'll see a more skillful guy lose to a less skillful guy, simply because the less skilled guy is bigger and just absorb more punishment. Similar to us, JG doesn't out coach anyone ,

10-6 will Probably not be enough this year

This is why last Sunday was so important. And this is also why I get frustrated at people on here who are always like “it’s only one game.”

We had absolutely no business losing to the Rams and Packers. But with our inept coaching staff here we are and it will cost us a playoff spot.

Could be over a while before that game though honestly.

Could be for a spot in the playoffs though honestly

Marinelli needs to go, the entire defensive scheme is flawed. #1 reason this team struggles against good offenses.

The East will only have the division winner in the playoffs.. ...

To be fair he did out coach Bruce Arians this season

Ugh, this thread bums me out lol. Burn it down. Fire everyone. Im sick.

 

[CowboyStar88]

This team will not make the playoffs

 

[Silver N Blue]

I still have hope...but it's hanging by a thread! Go cowboys

Time to put a fork in this season. No Lee, no Smith, no Zeke, and most importantly no coaching staff.

According to the playoff simulator, the Cowboy's chances to make the playoffs drops to 13% if they lose to the Eagles.

This is a must win game if they want to have anything more than a hail mary shot at the playoffs.

This is an odd numbered year on the Garrettcoaster, there will be no playoffs for us this year.

 

[TheHerd]

We do not have the coaching to overcome the suspensions and injuries.

Dallas plays Seattle though..... Win that and you only need to tie Seattle

That only plays out if Seattle and Dallas are the only two teams with that record. If there is a 3rd team, that head to head is out the window unless all teams involved played against each other.

To me, if Atlanta beats Seattle, it puts them in the driver seat since they have beaten almost all of the wild card teams that are in the hunt.

It's not over til it's over my friends. Time to see what the coaching staff is made of.

Uh, we've already seen what they're made of........yes it is over for us this year, save yourself the torment of thinking otherwise.

KC isn't a good offence?

 

[mardwin]

KC isn't a good offence?

Atlanta is a good offense, Green Bay is a good offense and those type of teams have a history of running the score against cover 2. KC struggles against zone coverage, please see Steelers game.

 

[dfense]

Tank. Yeah, let's put Kellen Moore in at QB.

The Cowboys are fragile, and so are some of our fans. The response to adversity is to just give up.

Sounds to me like it's a lot of the fan base that's fragile. As if Dallas was going to run the table. lol

Well yea if it's a 3 or 4 way tie other things come into play. They are saying Seattle is one of the wild card teams which means if he came down to just Seattle and Dallas for the last spot we need that head to head win.

Just not the year. Too many off-the-field distractions, this Jerry vs. the league stuff...regardless of whether you agree with it or not, is still a distraction to the team. Now all the injuries combined with a competitive season in the NFC. Hopefully we don't go 8-8 though...I would rather go 9-7 and miss the playoffs than good ol' 8-8 again, even if it means a lower draft pick. 8-8 is the worst.
