The Cowboys have to win every game to get into the playoffs, and every playoff game to advance to and win the Super Bowl.
And that's fair.
If the Cowboys want to be a contender, they should be able to win every game left on their schedule. If they can't do that they don't deserve to be in the playoffs.
After all, the goal is to be the best team in the NFL. Being in the top five just means you were okay; the top ten means less.
The Cowboys should expect to win out.
Moral victories don't count. It's professional football; and there is no "next year" to wait for. Jerry destroyed the Cowboys future hopes by signing Dak to that four year deal.
It's now or never for the Cowboys and their fans.

..yep, that's the idea.

But fate will state otherwise. Look at KC, everything is pointing to 3peat.

But odds are really high, they fail.

I feel MP, Diggs, Overshown, healthy DLAW and Kendricks should be able to affect our W/L column.

If we can shut-down Chase the defense will look scary going into the end of the year with Bland and Diggs healthy.

As long as Taylor Swift is dating Travis Kelce, the Chiefs have the golden ticket. The NFL is going to capitalize on Swift's popularity if possible.
But their ticket may well not protect them from a storyline that NFL fans would love more; the one that sees the Cowboys defy the odds and win a Super Bowl when no one expected it.
That would be pure gold for the NFL.

If the NFL had this much control over the outcome of games and who would win the SB, the Cowboys (their biggest drawing team) would have a made multiple SB's, let alone championship games, since 1995. The Chiefs are a well-built, well-coached team who have one of the best QBs of all time. That's why they win championships, not because one of their players started dating a celebrity last year. Not everything is a conspiracy theory. Also, the Cowboys have like a 5% chance of making the playoffs after the Rams won last night. There's effectively one WC spot with how strong the NFC North is.

:laugh: :laugh: I guess it’s never lol. This is about evaluating our young talent. If they win out nice. But this team is flawed and not a playoff team and hi miraculous run should change that. We need a strong overhaul from the top down.

That’s all you have to do to shut down conspiracy theories. It’s in the best interest of the NFL for the Cowboys to at least be in the SB…and they don’t sniff it.

Our updated Playoff odds are less than 3%

I guess there is a chance.

The NFL hasn't needed the Cowboys to win a Super Bowl because their fan base has been solid despite the circus.
But, the Cowboys are in danger of losing that support due to Jerry's ignorance and lack of respect for those fans.
Once it's gone it won't be back.

Do you mean the franchise will never recapture any remaining respect? You are your own best example of lost respect for the franchise for not doing what you want.

That invites a specific question. Will the franchise ever regain your respect lost due to its dedication for a single player? If so, how could that happen? It would read as a contradiction.
