Early game thread!

[Turkish-Cowboy]

Anyone think Panthers can get WC spot? If they earn the 5th seed and Dallas wins the NFCE then that is who they play.

They could but have to play the Saints twice and they lost the tiebreaker to the Seahawks. The Vikes are in contention for that spot too.

Cowboys!

These games suck today.

They really do.

 

[Roadtrip635]

the announcer in the Texans/Browns game might want to brush up on the rules

 

[Bob-Lillys-War]

Giants winning so far , 7 - 0 .

 

[Risen Star]

That has zero effect on Dallas really. I just hate the Giants regardless and want them to suffer. Go Bears.

Wrong. Playoff seeding. The Cowboys could possibly end up the 3 seed.

I see the Vikings and Seahawks as the wild card teams.

 

[Risen Star]

The Giants are playing hard. Credit their coach. That was essentially a season ending loss last week.

 

[Runwildboys]

If I didn't know better, I'd think the Giants were good.

Unless it means a bye, who cares?

Plus each win gives the Giants worse draft position. Not a huge deal really but it's something.

 

[reddyuta]

They might, but the Giants are probably more concerned about losing draft position. Last week proved that.

I agree with you,they should have won that game easily.

Credit that lifer Shurmur?

The guy who forgot they were killing the Eagles with the run and sat Barkley for a whole half and allowed the Eagles to win the game? Yeah, credit that guy for getting them playing hard. You know, like Garrett in a lost season. Scratchin', battlin' and clawin'.

 

[guag]

Wait is Allen Hurns not from the US? What accent is that?

 

[Bleu Star]

Not watching any specific game but will start with the Bears vs Giants. Maybe some Colts vs Jags to watch Luck.

I'm personally looking forward to the MNF thread.

 

[Direwolf63]

Agree. Not sure it really matters.

You get the home playoff game. If you win, you go to either NO or LA.
Given the choice, I'd rather go to LA. So the #4 seed may be better.

It is a huge deal if it keeps them from a franchise QB.

 

[Runwildboys]

Holy crap, that looked like excellent punt coverage, right up to the point where he ran 20 yards up the sideline.

 

[reddyuta]

my god the numbers for Aaron donald!!

Which one of those is in this draft coming up?

It might not matter but it might too.

Another thing is wild card positioning should it come to that for the Cowboys.
