We will not get a WC, nor any team in the NFCE will. Unless some teams collapse and the East teams get hot. Most likely Vikings and Falcons lead that WC race, with Saints and Seahawks right behind them. But not concerend with that for this thread.
So looking at what needs to happen to win the East.
We are 2-5, and must beat Philly. We need to go 7-2 the rest of the way. even if we go 6-3 and finish 8-8. The other 3 teams need to drop 4 games.
If we can beat Eagles, and Commanders twice, we will a 5-1 Division record, and the tie breakers that way if we finish tied at 8-8 0r 9-7 with any team.
So looking ahead at the schedules. Can this happen?
Dallas - Eagles, at TB, Panthers, at Commanders, at GB, Jets, at Bills, Commanders.............need 6 wins, Eagles, Commanders 2 times, Bills, TB, Jets. Hopefully steal one from GB or Panthers
Giants - at TB, NE, at Commanders, Jets, at Miami, Panthers, at Vikings, Eagles....are there 4 losses in there, NE, Vikings, Panthers, then drop one against Eagles or Commanders or another team
Eagles - at Cowboys, Miami, TB, at Lions, at NE, Bills, Cardinals, Commanders, at Giants...are there 4 losses here, Cowboys, NE, Cardinals, drop one against Commanders or Giants or another team
Commanders - at NE, Saints, at Panthers, Giants, Cowboys, at Bears, Bills, at Eagles, at Cowboys...for sure 4 losses in there
So we have to be a game better than the Eagles and the Commanders, and with those games against them.
Giants must drop 2 games for us to catch them.
Then if all stays even, we will take the division.
However, that is much easier said than done, as Dallas has not proven it can win these next 2 games without Romo. Maybe Dez will have a better impact against the Eagles. I question why Butler was inactive, he could have been used to stretch the field, get Dez open underneath, or any player. Then Whitehead would not have had his penalty. More questionable player decisions by the coaching staff there.
Any way, that is a look ahead. What do you all think, is this possible, or wishful thinking [hopeful]. Probably a bit of both.
