It's time to face the fact

[Maikeru-sama]

that the Dallas Cowboys are headed to the Playoffs.

I didn't see a lot of the game but as I stated before, the Cowboys will be in every game because for the most part, they will play to the competition.

I am also going to say that I believe the Cowboys are going to win a Playoff Game this year.

Also, everyone is saying get a running game going for the cold weather, but it looks like the top 2 seeds will be dome teams and I have to tell you, I really like our chances if we face Minnesota in the Playoffs.

why didn't you see a lot of the game?

 

[Aikbach]

They are going to the playoffs, that wasn't ever truly in doubt, advancing in hte playoffs remains to be seen.

Just too many family members at my Mother's house to really pay attention to the game.

I believe it was.

Based on our schedule and how the Offense has been playing, there was at least some doubt.

I have this feeling the Cowboys are going to win a Playoff Game this year. I just have this feeling that even if they win the NFC East and play at least one game at home in the Playoffs, they will be an underdog and the team will win.

If we lose next week and GB wins, would we still get a wildcard (assuming Giants win tonight)?

Great, great point.

I don't think it would matter because we still have 5 games left and it is going to take some time to see who wins the Division.

The Cowboys control their Destiny and if they win the Division, we won't need the Wild Card.

Also, I got into a debate with one of the big whigs at my company yesterday.

He thinks we are still not going to the Playoffs.

I told him that I believe you just have to win 10 games and assuming we won today, which we did, we would have to go 1-4 and I just don't see that happening even though the Schedule is very tough.

I dont know.....

we still have alot of tough games....

Ive seen this team struggle to much in Dec....and right now....even after this victory.....we are not playing great football.....

I hope the 10 days rest will do us some good.....

GB hold a tie breaker I think because head to head....

Philly will be right there....and so will the Giants....they both I think played SB and NO.....so.....we have our some more work to do....

Beating the Giants would be a huge step towards insuring a playoff berth.

It looks good for us, but I still have some concerns.

Bbbbbuut Emmitt and the "realists" said we'd be like 7-9...

True, but if we win the Division, it won't matter.

Green Bay's schedule is a little rough too. They have Baltimore, Pittsburgh and Arizona.

At 8-3, it would take a monumental collaspe for us to not even get a wildcard. I am talking like 1-4 to end the year.

I just dont see us losing 4 of the next 5, I just dont see it. If that did happen, Wade would be on the fastest thing out of big D.

No way does Wade keep his job if after an 8-3 start, we dont make the playoffs. Tanking that bad usually gets the coaching staff fired.

I see 2-3 at the worst, and that would get us to 10 wins (which is usually the magic number to get a playoff spot).

Agreed.

Someone on here earlier this week didn't think it would be an "epic" collapse if we didn't make the Playoffs, which I still don't understand how it couldn't.

 

[TwoCentPlain]

The next six games are brutal. Easy on the playoff prediction. A loss next week and/or a key injury and the whole picture changes.

One game at a time.

How many 8-3 teams have failed to make the playoffs???

I cant remember any recently.
