Gregg Rosenthal: Cowboys Won't Make Playoffs

[ScipioCowboy]

A little red meat...

Dallas won't make the playoffs

It's not quite as bold as you think because the NFC playoff picture is wildly crowded. Ten wins might not be enough to make the playoffs, and this is a rare season year where an eleven win team could be left out. I still see the Eagles as the best team in the NFC East and will take their chances of exposing the soft spots in the Cowboys' defense. If Philadelphia wins the NFC East, two of the following teams miss the tournament: Green Bay, Detroit, Seattle, San Francisco, Dallas, and Arizona. It's not that crazy to imagine the Cowboys being one of those two teams, especially with a top-heavy roster with very little pass rush. -- Gregg Rosenthal

Well **** you Gregg

He's not wrong. We may need to get to 12 wins.

Hate crap like this. You could say this about any team and if he's right he'll say 'see look I told you' but when it doesn't happen he won't say 'see look I was wrong' instead he'll just remain silent and hope we forget.

To make the playoffs. No we won't.

If we miss the playoffs after starting 6-1, Garrett should not even bother getting on the plane in Washington. No way in hell Jerry could give him an extension after an epic collapse like that. In the 55 year history of the franchise, no team that started 6-1 or better failed to make the playoffs.

We are talking the biggest choke job in franchise history, you think Jerry can call a press conference and announce a new deal for Garrett after that?

11 wins will get us in. 10 will be questionable.

I still have my doubts about the Lions. They have won some games they had no business winning. Atlanta tried everything possible to blow that game last week.

Just today I read where one guy thinks Dallas is going to Super Bowl with Weeden and now we read they won't even make playoffs. Wanna bet they end up somewhere in middle.

 

[SDCowboy]

I love it. We finally lose a game and now people are abandoning ship. Couldn't be more predictable. lol

We went from "best team in the NFL" to "not making the playoffs" pretty quick.....................LOL

 

[Lazyking]

We really need this Cards game. I think the Niners win the west so I want as many tiebreakers as we can get. Beat cards then Jags and you're 8-2. Sweep Giants, split with Eagles, beat the mess of the bears and get revenge on the Skins last week.

12-4 (lose colts game)

Course Eagles could sweep andCowboys lose to bears so 10-6 but I'll be optimistic.

Romo and key turnovers cost us the skins game. if Romo is on, blitz is picked up, I honestly think we'll do no worse than 11-5

There need to be consequences for pundits who make failed predictions.

That's the same with all NFL analysts on TV.
They never are held accountable for things they say.
They should be.

What's ridiculous is the Eagles has exactly the same issues as us. How anyone can proclaim them the best team in the NFC East at this point is beyond me.

 

[Pabst]

He's been hating on the Cowboys all season. No big deal.

I guess since we lost to Colt McCoy, everybody thinks we suck now.

 

[WV Cowboy]

Losing to Colt McCoy does introduce a piece of 'suck' that was not there previously.

If Garrett gets them to 11-5 12-4 and they do not make the playoffs for some weird mathematical reason how can you put that on garrett. Most Seasons 10-5/11-5 gets you the play offs.

Philly has a tough road of their own to go down. GB and Seattle still ahead for them as well as 2 meetings with Dallas. This weekend I hope Foles gets a chance to meet JJ Watts up close and personal. lol

 

[Zman5]

This guy was hating on us when we were winning. Not surprised he is hating on us after a loss.
