Philly has SF at home, which could be a loss, then to Dallas. We must win that game.
If you’re the 5 seed you have a much higher chance of getting Philly in the division round if they are the 1 seed. 1 seed plays the lowest winning seed, which the cowboys would have the highest chance of advancing on paper.
If I thought MM was the man for the job, I would 100% agree with above....but I still believe him to be a lazy conman who is over matched when the spotlight is on. That being said, you are correct in stating that we would have to play both Philly and SF anyway....sooooo, give me losing to SF in the divisional round versus the NFCCG....if we get blown out and embarrassed AGAIN, I don't wan't the fact that we reached the NFCCG saving his job.
There’s no way you can look at how we matchup with the teams and prefer San Fran over Philly. Philly we are 4-2 over our last 6 and just lost a squeaker. If your basis is not trusting McCarthy - I trust McCarthy a lot more against sirrianni than I do San Fran and shannahan.
I’m w you man. I’ve known for weeks this was our path..it is what it is..at this point, we need some help somewhere…if we can avoid 1 of sf or Philly to get through the nfc , I will take it all day..beating both is a nightmare..and as I said, give me Philly instead of sf all day
When did I ever say that we match up better with SF than Philly? I'll explain it again for you....since we obviously would have to play both, I'd rather lose to SF early than late if it meant a better chance of a new HC....I don't want another 45-10 like embarrassment to SF saving his job, just because we reached the NFCCG. And BTW, this is year eight (8) for Dak and this team is loaded with veterans....its sad at this point if we really need to be worried about "team growth"....teams like Philly rebuild on the fly now....sometimes bottoming out, and doing it right back over again. So are we on a thirty (30) year rebuilding plan?
this team feels like the teams of the last two years that won twelve games. they still beat up the losing teams and fall short against the best teams. i am always a fan of this team but they need to prove that they belong with the eagles and niners and so far the last two years and so far this year they have not yet done so. they need to beat the eagles in two weeks then maybe they can be a threat in the nfc and maybe have a chance to get to a super bowl.
I'm with you. I don't care who we play or when we play them. Either this team is good enough at that time to make things happen or they aren't. Teams go through phases during the year so you never know. Hoping for easier paths is what fans of non-powerhouse teams have to do. I say you won't know until you get there at that time how your team will perform. But it's anxiety-reducing to do this I guess.
I would say give me philly as #1 seed. looks like we will end up with 5th seed, which subsequently has us playing 4th seed and then #1 seed. Philly is a better match up for us.
Neither is happening, unfortunately.
And then the strongest each week thereafter that they survive. Winning the NFCE is huge. Too bad they forgot that in Az.
The Cowboys had a 1 to 1 record last season and for the last 2 a better win/loss against Philadelphia.
Wouldn't want it any different. If proof is what one wants...shoot for that! But as a fan...back 'em!!
Parsons, bell, bland, lamb, pollard, Ferguson and countless others of our core are all younger players / vets who have never gone on a deep run in the post season. championship teams for the most part aren’t made overnight- typically, with some exceptions they are teams who get in the post season consistently year in year out and get enough bites at the apple to finally bust through and win it all- McCarthy is building that type of team here.
I hear Frank Reich is available.
