If Dallas loses to Philly on Thanksgiving day, then we are all but done in the NFC East division race. We would lose the tiebreaker with Philly, the next game with Philly is in their place and we would also drop to 2 and 2 in division games. The odds are that we would have to beat Philly in the rematch, AND win out to ensure we got in.

if we lose to philly, we are 8-4 and still in good shape. 11-5 gets you in, 10-6 still probably gets you in, not sure where you are going with this other than it makes winning the east very difficult

They won't. Just mark it down as a win already. Trust me

You must not be paying much attention to the tiebreakers. We could miss the playoffs at 11 and 5 dude. It is a real possibility.

Have to win this game if we want the division, I can't see us winning in Philly.


If we lose in Texas I don't like our chances in Philly, but if we win on Thanksgiving, I think we can sweep. I don't think we get a split with Philly. I think one team or the other gets the sweep.

We're going to have to play better than they did in the first half of the Giant's game, or we are flirting with disaster. Getting out to a strong lead would go a long way next week to maintaining a dominant running attack and clock management. An early score coming off a turnover would be nice.

Every game's different, though. I can't imagine Philly playing any better than the Giants were to start that game, anyway. They were crazy hot there for three drives. We were lucky to hold on there before the half.
