If the Cowboys win out

I can absolutely visualize this team winning out. What is hard to visualize is the both Carolina and Seattle not going 3-1 the rest of the way.
 
If the NFL wants us in the playoffs, you can bet that all of the sudden we will start getting holding calls in our favor, the opposing teams will have THEIR momentum taken away by BS penalties, etc.

2 losses are possible for Car.
 
We make the playoffs 79% of the time. Our odds improved slightly by 1% over the last week where is was at 78%.

If we lose to the Seachickens it drops to 43% of outcomes.

The site is a welcome alternative to the whining and doomsaying that is all the rage around here lately for those of us who want to develop an informed opinion.

It's a further useful tool as it points out via color coding which matchups are most important and how we want them to turn out to get into the playoffs. Green is good.
Thanks for the optimism. Very rare here and good to see.
 
So the Seahawks are 2 games ahead of us with 4 games to go, and if they beat us head-to-head in one of those 4 games, our chances of still making the playoffs is almost a coin flip? Something doesn't add up.

Awesome scenario generator.
 
Let's just put it where things now sit, unless the Cowboys win out...there is no chance. That then reflects back to Jason Garrett who has preached committing to the team and over coming it all. He IS at the prove it point, now.
 
Ok, and if we don't. You willing to take a permanent vacation from this site? Because you seem very confident, why not wager on it.
I never bet against my team.


I just dont like that matchup for us. Our struggling QB without Zeke, on the road in the blackhole vs a team thats now fighting for their division title

Hey Joey.
Try using the simulation like this to figure that out.
Unclick all of the buttons to get a clean slate.
That should have us in the 5-7% range.
Then click Seattle winning vs us.
That gets us at <1%

----
or

click us to win all remaining games, except lose to Seattle
It takes us from 79% change if we win all of them to only <5% if he win all but that game.

It pretty much eliminates us...or at least 95% so.

Not really. If we win out, our odds are pretty good just based on the fact that teams in competition with us have to play each other.

But generally speaking, go Jags, go Vikes this week.
I understand but we do need help. The Rams game and packers are hurting us big time now. I was at the rams game. It still kills me lol first game I took my son to a game.
 
I'm not worried about winning out. We've seen enough to know the Cowboys ought to beat the Giants coming up. After that, there's an OAK team that's had its own share of disappointments.

I just want to get to the point where we're fully healthy and have all our players playing. If we lose the SEA or PHI games, I'm ok with that. But both ought to be good games if we get there with the season still alive.

If we can get the next two.. then I think we have a really really good chance. We get Zeke back and we get Sea at our house. While we don't have a great HFA, they do and its a break playing a big game like that in our house. If we can get healthy and get everyone back, we can make some noise.

Re our chances, I'd feel much better if the SeaWorld lady, after making a dolphin grovel for food, would say "BELIEVE!"
