It depends. If TB win out, we can win all the games but still not get the #1 seed since they already beat us. So Cowboys need help in that regard. And its a given rooting for a team doesn't guarantee they win but you do it anyways as a fan.
Well I see your point and 10 years ago I would be thinking same as you.
But the garrett years , them not paying murray, JJones GM ing, and JJ not putting Jimmy in ROH has soured me on the Cowboys quite a bit.
I have always been a fan of other teams, which vary from year to year,but cowboys were my # 1 team.
I am still compelled to watch all cowboy games, but I don't always want them to win.
In the past when cowboys played another team I liked I was torn on who to root for.
My 2 other teams this year are TB, and NE, and I think I like them more than
this cowboy team .
And the cowboys dont need the # 1 seed, and teams that are # 1 seed often lose anyway, just like last year TB was low seed, WC I think, and they won
the SB, So if your team is good, that seeding thing doesnt matter.
Now a team that has to go to a open stadium and play in cold etc, that does matter, but both teams have to play in it so just go do it.
Giants beat GB in GB then went on to SB.
I like to see Dallas in playoffs every year, makes playoffs more interesting, but at same time I dont expect much from them once there.
