This is obviously meant for those who haven't already given up on the season. Do you pack any playoff hopes if Dallas loses?

I won't be able to because I believe it would be still possible for Dallas to win the East, even though it would take some things falling in place.

Obviously, we'd need to win the rest of our games. (I don't see us being able to win the division at 7-9, so 8-8 is likely needed)

The Giants would need to lose three games, which I expect them to do anyway, but at least one of those losses would need to be to either Washington or Philly. Ideally, it would be to Washington (because we might need Philly to lose to New York).

Beating Washington twice would be enough to give us the division over them.

Philly also would need to lose at least twice. If the Eagles lose only two of their remaining games (I think they'll lose more) then one of those losses has to be to the Giants.

Better division record with every team at 8-8 gives us the division.
Never ever surrender! This team is built to persevere.

I don't care about making the playoffs if we're not good enough to win the Super Bowl. I'd rather get the #1 overall pick than get outmatched in the playoffs. So I think tomorrow will be a real glimpse at whether we're a legit Super Bowl contender. No better team to play to show we're a legit team than the 10-0 Panthers.

I agree. Carolina may be the worst team I can ever remember that started the season at least 7-0 or more. Not saying they are a bad team. Just saying they aren't an all time great by any means. If anyone thinks that Dallas is good enough to be a playoff team and then good enough to do damage, then they have to be good enough to win at home, on a short week, against the Panthers.

Didn't Seattle win the division with a 7-9 record a several years ago?

The East is still up in the air! Green Bay is due for another loss... or something like that.

If we lose Tony for the season, yes I am giving up...... at least we will have a high draft pick to look forward to...

Not that it's a choice anymore, but I'm done. Fire everybody and burn the white paints.
yeah those white pants were awful, ugly uniforms !!!!!!!!

the jones boys were not too happy up there on their stadium thrones.
They are the masterminds, and what we saw today is the result of their meddling.

I'm giving up.

A loss like that kills a team.

I see 2 more wins, max.

Gotta get a QB to groom now or its 5 more years of garbage.

Well I am not giving up yet, I wish they would give moore a try, see what he can do.
Carolina is a very good team and they have real coaches so hard to beat them.

I actually liked the white, but would have preferred all silver.

Honestly, I don't think the Joneses care. They are making money and there is no new stadium to build, so there will be no changes because they love being in charge more than they love having a winner where someone else gets the credit. Last year's success was probably the worst thing that could have happened because they started believing they could have both.
