LMAO! Jerome Bettis just said Commanders #2 team in NFC

[Bob Sacamano]

You guys will have plenty of chances to make the Top-6. If it isn't us, you'll probably overtake someone in the NFC South if you keep playing the way you did today.

Fact is, whether you want to admit it or not, our teams are pretty close in skill.You're more dynamic offensively than we are, at least passing the ball, I think we may have the edge running it. And I think it's safe to say we have a stouter defense. We split our game this season 1-1. As I said, it's going to be a fight to the wire for everyone. Except the Giants.

stouter against the rush, but we get after the QB now

 

[Phoward12]

dude i'm just messin with you. chill out, be happy your team got a win today. you will lose next week.

I'm cool, I'm trying to walk that fine line between defending my team and not being labeled a troll.

Anyway, as to next week, you might be right, playing the Giants isn't something I'm particularly looking forward to. Burress apparently got hurt today, and Jacobs didn't play today. That could help us, although I'd be happier if their entire offensive line disappeared.

I think our secondary has to be considered overall superior as well, but you're right, you guys get a lot more pressure than we do. Frankly, any game where we get two sacks or more is an accomplishment. We don't have that DeMarcus Ware type hybrid right now, though some people have suggested that we stand up Jason Taylor.

yeah that o-line has been healthy and dominate. gotta stop the run and force SHEli to try and beat you.

I don't think Jason Taylor standing up will do the trick

You're not ahead of us in the standings. That was a "misprint." We are the 6th team in if it ended today. But Fox loves them some Cowboys, so whatever.

Actually I don't think it goes to conference record unless we're tied totally, as in we went 1-1 like we did but we had to have won by the same points you did. We beat you by 4 so we hold the tie breaker, I believe. Which is probably why places are placing you behind us cause conference records come into play after that.

Nah, that was a mistake on Fox's part. We still have a game on you guys in the conference record, we're 6-3 against the NFC and you guys are 5-4. You looked good today though, this will be a fight to the wire.

It will be a fight but like I said above I think it only goes to conference record if we'd not won by 3 or more points the second time around.

LOL! Thats some pretty heavy backlash off me simply stating that Fox screwed up. I'd be more willing to wear a "6th Seed Playoff" shirt than I would be "1st Runner-Up to the Playoffs", though.

Sad. Very sad.

If by "stouter" you mean that even when that defense KNEW Barber was gonna run at them(in the 4th qtr last week) and STILL couldn't stop it...then yea, you are correct sir

As for Mr Bettis...I think that comment is a case of him getting too many concussions during his playing days...

No, I mean as in, we've given up 52 less points than Dallas, and our defense is overall ranked 4th while you guys are 9th. I'm not saying you guys are bad, by any means, I just think we have the edge. Just like I'm willing to admit your passing game is more dynamic.

Oh, and Braveheart, I have never heard of margin of victory being a tiebreaker. I just looked up the procedures; if both teams were to wind up 10-6 or 11-5 or whatever, the first tiebreaker is head to head, where we split 1-1. The second is division record, where both teams are currently 2-2. The third is conference record, where we have the 1 game edge. For what it's worth, the 4th tie-breaker is "strength of victory" whatever that means.

 

[ThreeSportStar80]

Dallas needs to take it one game at a time and go from there... No need in looking ahead of Seattle because they've played tough of late. Matt Hasselback just loves picking a part our defense so Thursday's game won't be a cake walk.

Ahhh then what we've got to do is make sure we beat the Giants and the Eagles and then we don't have to worry about conference records because we'll be 4-2 and hopefully, after next week, the best you guys will be able to finish is 3-3.

Dude the only reason u are even close to us in the standings is cause romo was hurt for 3 games.cmon u know it.

Yeah what a foolish statement made by Bettis.

not a misprint, they have it right

I don't really think that has much to do with anything, he was playing when our teams played each other in week 4. You lost to the Rams, same as us. You lost to the Giants, same as us. Our teams are closer than you would like to admit, and we'll see how the next 5 weeks play out.

We have three opponents remaining in common; Philly, the Giants, and the Ravens. We still have to play Cincy and SF, you have Seattle and Pittsburgh, who we thankfully are already done with. We'll see who comes out on top.

 

[BourbonBalz]

I think it took Seattle till late in the 3rd to convert a 3rd down

but it looks like Carolina and Washington are the WCs if the playoffs started today

Damn good thing they don't start for 6 more weeks then.

 

[dmq]

I think we may have the edge running it.

Is that before Portis got hurt?
