This is exactly why the "Just get in the playoffs and anything can happen!" argument is so dumb for this team. They can't win a road playoff game whether it's in good weather (like LA) or in cold, rainy weather. So how is it possible for them to "just get hot" and go on a run like the homers think can happen?
If the Cowboys ever want to get to a Super Bowl they NEED home field advantage but Garrett's philosophy is just to get through the regular season and make the playoffs, regardless of seeding. Every game matters in the regular season, you can't afford to lose to the Jets.
