I am sure NFL wants NFC East week 17 games to mean something

[CowboysFanSince88]

want these games to mean something so for the ratings.

cowboys/giants and eagles/skins


So with that being said, it wouldnt surprise me to see us losing to the bucs and the eagles beating the texans. I hope im wrong but usually when the eagles are this close to clinching a playoff spot, it comes down to the last week of the season. So we may have to prepare ourselves for the last week of the season

Eagles(8-7) vs Skins(7-8)

Cowboys(9-6) vs Giants

Gee, ya think?

That was only the entire reason that they made all week 17 games division matchups years ago.

Dallas would have to be 8-7 for that game to mean anything

What are you trying to say?

Why would we be losing to the Bucs?

 

[DasSchnitzel]

I know I'm probably being irrational but it always feels like the reffing gets crazy in weeks 14 to 16 and I've always wondered if this is related.

I'm not saying Dallas lost to Indy because of flags, Dallas looked awful on their own. But I am saying that I think the refs are at their worst from weeks 1 to 3 (rust) and 14 to 16 (tin foil hat) and playoffs ("all star" squads).

 

[CF74]

The games appear to be scripted at times, I’ll give u that....

I do not want to be around here if we lose to the Bucs. This place will meltdown.

I'd be making popcorn and getting drunk.

Completely. The entire Fan Zone forum may go down with so many people typing hard and furious.

The Cowboys can lose to anyone in the NFL (yes, the Niners, Raiders and Cards too), but the good news, they can beat anyone too.

Why?

Because the way the Cowboys play eats up clock, so they will undoubtedly shrink most games to like 10 or less possessions for each team. Some games, this will definitely work to the Cowboys favor...others like against the Colts, it works to the other team's failure (when the Cowboys can't score or only settles for FGs).

Because I feel the NFL needs a reason to make the NFC east games watchable. They love those WIN and your IN games in week 17

Correct, we would be 8-7 and the eagles will be 8-7

 

[MarcusRock]

LOL. Fear making people try to soften the landing already. Poor refs always getting blamed. Now they get blamed in advance.

 

[Bobhaze]

So let me get this straight...so the incompetent NFL offices, who can’t even enforce their own rules are somehow competent enough to make a vast league-wide conspiracy to make week 17 more “interesting” work? If anyone believes that, I can’t imagine what other crazy conspiracies they believe.

 

[bsbellomy]

I can't believe there are people stupid enough to think these games are scripted. I mean can you really be that stupid?

 

[Bob-Lillys-War]

And if you are correct with this conspiracy theory , ... Garrett has the worst record on the 'win and in' games .

So Garrett must be paid to lose by someone .

 

[Cmac]

So now the conspiracy theory is going to mask bad football?
