Did We Clinch the 5th Seed?

[sjmike]

If so, do you start resting starters for the last two weeks? Especially Micah to get him well? We would have to win out and the eagles lose out and I'm not even sure we would have the tiebreaker to win the division. Do we rest guys to get them healthy or try to win games to get momentum?

Yes, the Cowboys cannot be the 6th or 7th seed. They could still be the 1 seed so I don't expect any resting at Tennessee.

 

[reddyuta]

they are not resting starters until we are mathematically eliminated from the no 1 seed.

 

[JayFord]

yes we clinched the 5th seed neither the Commodes or Giants can win 11 games

and id rest them all week 18, and have cz posters suit up so i can roast them in the game thread

It’s tough because technically you can still win the division.

I would play against the titans. If the eagles win and cinch the division. Then I rest all starters in week 17 and give yourselves essentially a bye week.

The Saints can beat the Eagles especially if Lane Johnson and Hurts are out.

God. Had Dallas only won last week. The race is much closer now

This stinks Bc resting guys is weird boring and probably not even helpful anyway.

The Cowboys will play everyone against Tennessee.

Note: we would win the tie breaker in that scenerio
Better Divisional record.

Cowboys lose at Titans Thursday night - it's a wrap.
Cowboys would be 11-5, winning last game @ FedEx puts them at 12-5.
Eagles now 13-2... can lose final two games but still finish 13-4.

 

[Ozone22]

Those losses to the Packers and Jags are the difference maker.

Yeah I didn’t mention the possibility of cowboys losing to
Titans. Obviously if cowboys lose to
Titans or eagles win next week. Then you can rest starters week 17

 

[willia451]

The Eagles play the Saints and the Giants. After the humiliation of losing to the Cowboys, the Eagles could lose both of those games.

Not sure what does does to the standings. But who cares?

Might not be Brady in the playoffs

Well like I said if you wanna get it done start by beating Brady and the Bucs to get that monkey off our backs, that if they even with their division because they suck!

Given that they are a loss away, tomorrow night or next week ,from Carolina leading that division, he should be saving those fist bumps for the moment. In fact Carolina controls their own destiny, win out and its theirs.
