People Will Bemoan the Loss, But This Game Most Likely Doesn’t Matter in Any Tie Breaker

I appreciate the information.....

No one that matters then

Wrong

OMG, another live one. READ through the entire thread before puffing out your chest!

The issue is that Dallas still shows they can't beat a good team on the road. Fold like a Taco Bell cheese quesadilla. And comes with the trip to the toilet too.

Beating the dolphins wouldn’t have made me feel anymore confident in beating SF in SF.

Lol. . It’s like being told you’re stupid over and over again. Sorry.

Dallas wins the division if they go 2-0 next 2, and Philly loses ANY of their remaining matches. We'll have the conference advantage.

Correct..................Dallas has to go 2-0 and have Philly lose just 1 of their remaining 3 games.

The problem is that those three games are two against the Giants and one against the Cardinals..............and 2 of the 3 are home games for Philly, only road game is at the Giants.

For what it is worth, analytics have the Eagles with a 70% chance to win the East compared to 30% for Dallas...................yeah, not looking good right now.

I thought the same EXACT thing coming into this game....however, Detroit is gonna roll us!!!

Do you not predict failure in advance of every game and rub your hands together with glee after any loss?

Philly can lose to Arizona and still win the division. They have to lose to NY.

Nope, if Dallas wins out and Philly loses to Az, Dallas wins the division.

This is why I can’t respect those posters. You don’t get credit for picking them to lose when that’s all they ever do.

The loss was most troubling not because of playoff seeding, but the likelihood of having a scrub at LT during the playoffs and no semblance of a running game even with Smith at LT. The Cowboys are one dimensional and the better defenses in the league can effectively defend them.

If Philly wins out, it doesn’t matter if Dallas wins or loses this game, Dallas is the 5 seed.

If Dallas wins their Last Two Games (Detroit in Dallas is a huge boon), and Philly loses any remaining game, Dallas wins the division.

Winning or Losing to Miami has no impact on either scenario. MAYBE if you won, Strength of Victory Miraculously moves in your favor, but that was always unlikely.

The only impact losing to Miami has is if Philly somehow loses to Arizona, Philly still wins the tie breaker. Dallas needs the Eagles to lose 1 to the Giants. But it really doesn't matter. This Cowboys team can't score on the road unless they're playing a trash team like the Giants or Carolina.

Oh yeah… no impact at all.

Philly just got their confidence back with a win while we stumbled. Giants now playing the QB shuffle, so much for Tommy Cutlets momentum, and get to play the Eaglets again.

E-Girls 11-4, Cowboys 10-5

2 more games left for each team. Both get NFC East softies. They get 3-13 Arizona, we get 11-4 Detroit.

NFC East over. It’s most likely going to be a scenario now where we have to win 3 away games in a row to get to the Super Bowl when we just lost our last 2 away games against Playoff teams and are 1-3 overall.

But don’t worry, no impact at all.

The game mattered!

Here come the excuse makers.

Where does Philly lose again regular season ?

Hello return trip to Tampa

Confidence was never their issue. Their defense is poor, and Hurts has regressed a bit. Honestly, the Eagles dropping another one is about 50/50 right now. Same for the Cowboys.

It's just more evidence we can't get through the good teams we'll play in the playoffs on the road. I guess that's meaningless to you but not to me.
