Dallas can't lose a game and win tie-breaker with PHI

[Gaede]

We aren't going to win out man. We can lose any of those last 3...even at wash

Hell, we almost lost to them week 16 last year...they play us well

There is no way we lose to Washington in Week 17, unless we've already qualified. They will be ready for the off season and I'm sure there will be coaching rumors abound. No way they're competitive.

That Commanders loss at home on Monday night is going to end up biting this team in the butt. We will either lose the division or a wildcard spot mainly from that loss alone.

 

[MRV52]

No question they are going to score at will on this defense. Just not sure we can keep up. Romo will need to be slinging it a lot. Thinking of a Denver type game.

Ball control. We can man handle their defense as they are not that good against the run. Look what the Patriots did to them. Indy can be beaten.

 

[cowboyschmps3]

That's the thing that sucks. No one is walking through the door at this point in the season to bring us a much needed pass rush. We're going to need a break here and there to make it to/make any noise in the playoffs. It is what it is but tonight was a nice step forward after the Philly debacle.

Oh yeah our best defense is our offense good step forward hope offense keeps this going, Garrett should score until 5 minutes in the 4th quarter not settle for field goals.

It's true.

Doesn't matter if they both finish 10-6, 11-5, or 12-4. Philly holds the tiebreaker in any scenario either via better winning percentage vs. common opponents, or via better divisional record.

Yep.

To win the division we need to win out and Philly has to lose somewhere else along the way as well, other than just to us.

If we finish with an identical 12-4 or 11-5 record Philly still wins the division based off of better division record.

I'd rather have a wild card playoff birth than the division...this is a completely different team on the road. In that case, would be want Philly to beat Seattle?

 

[CowboysFanSince88]

Seattle is going win the west. Az is screwed with Palmer out.

Az has a winnable game this week at home, KC

I would, my focus is the wildcard. On the road this season Romo has 15 TD passes and 1 Int

 

[Richmond Cowboy]

If we can force 2-3 punts in each of the next 2 games we will have a fighting chance. Question is, can we?

 

[cowboys1981]

If we win out and Philly goes 3-1 with their one loss against us, we don't win the tie-breaker. We would both be at 12-4 and they win the division but we would get a WC in all probability.

More and likely the 5th seed in that scenario.

 

[windward]

I'm having nightmares of Dirty Sanchez marching up and down the field against our out-manned D again.

I just like the Bears were going to destroy us right?

 

[mldardy]

In order for dallas to win the division...Dallas has to have a better record than the Eagles... have to win out to have any realistic shot at winning the division


Title should read - dallas can't win any Tb w philly

Philly still has 3 division games left and 4 games left overall and we still have 2 division games and 3 games overall. We don't HAVE to win the rest of our games. It would be nice but it's not a necessity right now.

still haven't gotten over that game. regardless of the circumstances, losing to colt mccoy at home was unacceptable and it looks like that's going to be the key game to our playoff chances.

 

[endersdragon]

If we win out, there is no way we can miss the playoffs, that is all I am concerned with right now.

What if philly loses two or three games?

Could say the same thing about the niner game...

 

[coult44]

Perfect scenario for a perfect week would be for Seattle, KC, Oak, Tampa, and GB all to win...

GB losing keeps # 1 seed a possibility no? Atlanta is of little concern to us correct?

Yea, your right.

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

One game at a time. Our playoffs hopes started tonight and we're moving on. Considering the whoopin' we took in Chicago last season, it's a step in the right direction.

They have done a good job of getting teams back who tore them a new one in recent memory. From the Seahawks to the Aint's to the Bears.......Eagirls and Deadskins are the only ones left who need some payback.
