Going 9-7 probably wouldn't get us into the wild card, but it COULD win our division. Clearly the hardest part would be us going undefeated for the season, but I challenge that if we could beat the Giants who everyone was saying was the best team in the nfc, we could certainly beat anyone, especially if Romo can come back.
We're currently 4 games behind. The division leading Giants.
We need every team in the division to lose 4 key games. And I think its very possible.
New York. Have to lose one division game preferably to the Commanders, they still have 4 division games left. I don't think its a stretch of the imagination. We also need them to lose to Jacksonville, Minnesota, and Green Bay. Jacksonville is 5-4 on a 2 game winning streak. Minnesota is unreliable but could certainly surprise them. Green Bay is 6-3, currently on a 3 game winning streak. Also a key note is that they still have Philly twice. So even if they beat Minnesota, if they can lose 1-3 division games, it will really hurt them.
Only our lose to chicago would hurt us, so im pretty sure we would win in terms of tie breakers.
Philadelphia. We play them twice. So we only need them to lose 2 games. They have Chicago, Houston, and Minnesota. We generally want them winning their division games. They have New York twice. So If they can split with New York or beat them twice, that would certainly help us.
Washington. We're only 3 games behind Washington. We play them once. They have the Titans, Tampa, Minnesota, and Jacksonville. And they have 4 more division games, including us of course.
I think clearly the division will and can help us. Obviously we still need to win out, but it just means the playoffs is starting super early for us. But unless one of those teams goes on a complete tare, we are still in it for the division, more so than the wild card.
When you consider the fact that we still have 3 division games left, you realize that we're still in the running. We have 3 games where we can directly affect teams ahead of us.
If we can win the next 2 games, I think we can win the next 5 games. I almost guarantee you if we beat Detroit, and New Orleans, Romo plays against Indianapolis. Thats the only reason why he isn't on the IR. And thats 6 weeks into his injury.
He was given a 6-8 week timeline. And I'l buy into 6 weeks if we're in playoff contention. And before anyone says don't rush Romo back too soon. Aikman came back 5 (6 weeks including the bye) from the same injury.
