Broncos aren't winning division is ours

Explain how a Broncos loss helps us? Thanks.

Burrow has to be in the mix for best young QBs as well

Agreed. He’s got that calm moxie, too. I dig it.

Rams, Bucs, and Cards have joined the Cowboys and Pack as teams in the upcoming NFC playoffs.
TB has clinched the South title to join GB in that category.
Expect DAL to achieve the equivalent about 7 hours from now.

Eagles beat them we lost to them.

Strength of schedule.

Falcons won, means we clinch before kickoff

Watching the Raiders choke

Clinched the NFC East?

Clinched the NFC East?

Im with you, dude. I’m not following this. I expect a Cowboys win tonight though, so I’m not worried.

 

[Carson]

Clinched the NFC East?

Correct

 

[tyke1doe]

Correct

Okay. Thanks.

Youre right. Team play does. Herbert didn’t give up 41 to the worst team in the league. His defense did. 29 points should be more than enough to beat the Texans

He threw pick six idiot!! and another INT that led to a Texan TD!! He definitely contributed to the Texans getting 41 points. Tell me when arm talent has won a Super Bowl in the last decade or ever for that matter. Rodgers maybe? To succeed as a QB in this league you need way more than just arm talent you simp.

They're still playing well right now.

Yup, play well against bad teams and so-so to bad against good teams.

 

[BourbonBalz]

Cowboys can still clinch the NFC East before kickoff tonight if the Raiders beat the Broncos. They needed two or more wins from the Raiders, Falcons, Jaguars, Patriots, Vikings, and Chargers to do so. Only the Falcons cooperated.

Why does anyone care about this? If we can’t clinch the East on our own that means we will have lost the last three games of the season. If that were to happen we’d be finished anyway.

I don't get why people are getting worked up. The division is 99.9999 pct ours.

 

[Red Dragon]

So, do the Bills have the tiebreaker over the Patriots now?

I have no idea why people stress so much. The odds of the Cowboys losing the NFC East division crown are lottery-low unlikely at this point. Dallas would have to go 0-3 and Philadelphia go 3-0.

You're right, it's just kind of cool to have the division title locked up officially and concentrate 100 percent on getting a higher seed.

With end of the early Sunday afternoon games, 5 of the 7 playoff teams have been determined .
But as of late Sunday afternoon kickoffs, no AFC team is officially in the postseason yet.
I know - just a technicality for 3 or 4 teams...but it's still not set in stone.

the only scenario where Philly wins the division is if we win out, you lose out, and all the teams that we beat but you didn’t win out as well. So it’s just a formality at this point. You won the division back when we lost to NYG the first time
