I doubt it. We beat Philly once already this year. They've beat the Giants twice already.

If it means preventing Dallas from entering the playoffs, I would play my guys. You DO NOT want to face divisional foes in the playoffs. Especially NFC East foes. If you have too, take the one you swept during the season and who has serious secondary issues. (especially when you are a big play machine)

Yeah, Andy Reid wouldn't live to see that extension if he even thought about resting players against Dallas.

Two weeks ago we were 8-3 and alone in first place. Now our fans are hoping for charity from bitter rivals. Oh how the mediocre have fallen.

No way does Philly rest any players. I don't blame em. I wouldn't.

Jeremy Maclin got injured yesterday and is expected to miss the next 2 games.

That's about as good as you get on this wish.

Grab your ankles. There is no hope. We'll have to play them at, gasp, full strength. Only good news is we beat this same team in their stadium at full strength not long ago. Of course, back then the calendar didn't have the word 'December' on it.

I think the better question would the Vikings and Cardinals sit their players the last game if they can't improve their seedings especially since they play the two teams Giants and Packers that the Cowboys will be fighting against for the a wild card spot. Dallas would have to win out to make it to the playoffs unless one of those two teams lose two. I think they hold the tie breaker over us since they beat us. I just don't see the Packers or Giants losing two games. I could be wrong with this.

Packers remaining Schedule

Seahawks, Steelers, Cardinals

Giants remaining schedule

Commanders, Panthers, Vikings

I don't know if Philly will, but I bet the dang Vikings do if they can do no better than the 2 seed. I sure do wish we could be NO, and have them only 1 game ahead of Minnesota so they will have a reason to play against the Giants.

Funny, Colin ran down who the Packers have beaten this year, and we were about the only team that is any quality at all. I suspect that they win at least the Seahawks game, and if so, they are at 10 so they make it easily. Praying for a Skins W this week!

Well IF and I mean IF we beat the Saints that automatically benefits us in the fact Vikings may still have to play for something.

No, they were not at full strength.
