Obviously Philly has to lose one more time

[droopdog7]

For the cowboys to have a chance at the division. But that doesn’t mean that the cowboys have to finish a game ahead of them to win the division. An iggle loss to the giants means the cowboys can lose to any except the commanders.

If the cowboys lose to the bills and the iggles lose to the Seahawks, I’m not sure where the tie breakers end up?

Still four games to go, and I think the iggles definitely still have the edge in terms of opponents. But hopefully the Boys can keep playing well. And you never know, the iggles could continue their free fall even against inferior opponents.

If Geno Smith is healthy next week, they lose to Seattle. Book it now

It all comes down to next week. If they lose to Seattle we have a real shot. If not they aren’t losing any of their last three unless Hurts is out.

I watched a lot of their game today and Lock was horrible and couldn't get the ball out quickly to save his life. That's Geno's specialty.

Don’t count out an upset bid by AZ. Their HC knows Philly well and has had that team playing some pretty scrappy ball at points during the season.

If Seattle and the NYG could help us out— that would be awesome lol

What's the forecast in Buffalo next week. As a team they don't scare me but southern/dome teams don't do well in the snow.

Seahawks gonna be desperate too…

I feel you but I don't think Az can pull it out. Hopefully they do. Seattle is built for this though.

Just checked this, supposed to be a high of 48, we can work with that. Though of course this far out is little more than a guess

They have to lose one more time and we have to win out. Good luck! Wish the rest of our games were at home.

Not true; we can both lose one more game and the cowboys can still win the division. Check the OP.

Danny DeVito will take out the Eagles!!

You must be a new nfl fan. Anything can happen, including losses to the cardinals or the giants.

If they play like this next week in Seattle, Pete Carroll will beat them with Drew Lock.

Sounds ideal to me, just no lake effect snow

What I want to understand is what happens if Philly loses to Seattle and Dallas loses to Buffalo and they both win out after that. The conference tie breaker is then even. I think it goes to "strength of victory" which is the total wins of all teams beaten.

The different wins would be:
Dallas:
NYJ 5
Detroit 9
Carolina 1
LAC 5
Seattle 6
Total = 26

Philly:
Arizona 3
Buffalo 7
KC 8
Minnesota 7
TB 6
Total = 31

So, right now Philly would have that tie breaker. Its ironic but we have to hope that the teams out of this list that Dallas beat keep winning and the teams off this list that Philly beat lose. Detroit plays Minnesota twice for example. We want Detroit to win those games.

All assuming it breaks out like this. A similar but worse scenario would play out if Dallas beat Buffalo but lost to Miami.

If Philly wins out, they got the division. If they lose to NY in either game, Dallas has the head to head.

Still can’t believe SF didn’t have to play him.

 

[endersdragon]

Yeah I was messing with playoff machine earlier.... If we finish tied at 13-4 our only hope is the divisional tiebreaker

 

[Tabascocat]

Seattle is pretty much the last hope of losing a game. Dallas still has to win two tough games on the road. Hope is still alive tonight….
