Anything is possible of course, but There is very little chance we win the division because of the Conference records of us and Philly. Philly can lose to both SF and us and still win the division even if we both end up 14-3, because they are currently 6-0 and we are 6-3 against the conference. After our game Philly plays the Giants twice, AZ once and Seattle in a Seattle. Not saying there isn’t a chance of course but it is less likely than I was thinking before I looked at the tiebreakers. So for Dallas to win the division we really need the Eagles to lose 3 out of the last 6. The Arizona game killed us.

If both 14-3: records would be the same. Head to head would be split. Division record would be the same. the only thing I’m not sure about is the record in common games which would be the division tiebreaker before conference record but after using the “playoff simulator” it appears that would be tied or in their favor.

They still have a shot at the 1 depending on what happens to Philly. If Philly loses the next 2, it would open the door.

Isn’t this the same SF team Philly buried last yr. Buffalo had a shot at helping Dallas but ….5 seed means opening the playoffs against the NFC South champ . I like Dallas chances .

Yes, we would open against the NFC South winner and assuming we win play Philly on the road and then the winner of the SF/Det 9assuming they both win) on the road. This doesn't mean we can't move on because the way we are playing we could win all of those games. Let's see how we do the next few weeks and se if the offense keeps rolling

This is the only path to win the division, but still would need to win out and 49ers to lose another game to land the #1 seed. 5th seed looks most probable. What we want is for the Lions to win the #1 seed and not have to face both the Eagles/49ers on the road.

If SF wins this weekend and we take care of business, we have a tied record with a month to play.

This is the NFL, any given Sunday. Philly is no lock to run the table, they are in 1 score games every week.

Basically we have to win out and Philly loses to us, 9ers and hawks.

That's about our only "realistic" chance.

We will finish either 11-6 or 12-5. If Philly doesnt lose at least 4 more games, we are going to ATL or NO in the first round

This is not really worth discussing unless the Eagles lose to the 49ers this week and the Cowboys next week. Let’s pick up this conversation in 8 days if that happens and not waste everyone’s time right now. Deal?

The good news is we are 3 games ahead for 5th seed. Once Egirls officially wrap up division and 5th seed is secure we could rest our stars a game or two headed into playoffs.
