Ok guys I’ll try again :laugh: . For some of the dreamers, go through all the realistic scenarios with wins and losses and tell us why we should believe with you that there’s a chance we can still make the playoffs.

Making the playoffs is a crazy scenario. Almost a Loss/Loss/Win outcome. (unless it includes a miracle Nick Foles type run in the playoffs)

Cowboys make it, Lose in the first or second round. Low draft pick, McCarthy gets to come back next season.

Cowboys (somehow, and doubtfully win the SB or make it to the SB) Now we have a Dak gtd money issue and QB problem with Rush leading the team better.

Cowboys win the SB and we don't care what happens next season because we won it all finally.
That's my fear

Make the playoffs? We're talking about the odds/percentages to win the rest of the games and make the playoffs? And ALL of this kookiness is because we beat a single team in the last 2 months, a team that wanted to lose to ensure a QB in the draft...a team that cut their starting QB to ensure they wouldn't win, and then started a bust QB that hasn't played in ages, and who had to cram the playbook in a few hours before the game sitting alone in the stadium? A team that BLATANTLY threw the game and just handed us the win on purpose? THAT'S what is causing all this? LOL LOL!!!!!

Forget the playoffs. The chance of us winning the very next game is 0.0000% much less the rest of them.


Cincinnati isn't going to throw the game like the Tanking Giants did. They are going to remind us that every single team over the last 2 months that actually wanted to win, pounded us into the dirt and clowned us.

This fan base is like a homeless person on the streets who just got thrown 2 bucks in pocket change by a passerby that felt sorry for him, who then looks at that 2 dollars and starts picturing himself as a CEO of a Fortune 500 company.

Almost no upsets would be required to get in at 9-8 with a loss to the Eagles. The biggest longshot (by 1000 miles) is the Cowboys going 4-1 down the stretch.

Two of the most likely wild card teams (TB/Wash) would lose to Dallas in that scenario. The NFC west all play each other and some other good teams. Only Wash is more than a game up.
I'm not talking about Cowboys upsets. I'm saying we don't make the playoffs at 9-8.

If we are going to pick between 14-21 regardless, yes, I want them to go as far as they can go. If that’s winning one more game, fine, if that’s going on a streak, fine. I was fine before we won the last two fighting for a top 5 pick, but I knew it wasn’t reality.

No, I’d say more like the guy who gets thrown two dollars and then dreams he wins the lotto.

I’m was with you until I seen your avatar. The worst fan in the world is the fan who is a Cowboys, Lakers, Yankees, and Bama fan. You can never trust that person, they are fake and not authentic. Theyve latched on to past successes if once great franchise and now want to act like they are from NY or LA or DFW. Roll Tide makes it even funnier

The Alabama thing was more a passing phase.

I'm more of a Oregon Ducks fan at heart though

lol. People need to get real. Dallas isn’t making the playoffs. The 1-4 seeds go to division winners. Our only chance to get one of those seeds is to catch 9-2 Philly which we have already lost to. We are currently 4.5 games behind them. We aren’t catching Philly so seeds 1-4 are not happening. Seeds 5 and 6, Minny and GB, both have 9 wins. We aren’t catching them. The only chance we have to make the playoffs is the 7th seed which is Washington who is 7-5 (2 games ahead of Dallas) . We beat them but they are currently beating the Titans 21-0 so they most likely go to 8-5. Even if Washington goes 3-2 in their last 5 games we would need to finish 5-0. Dallas isn’t going 5-0.

Minnesota Green Bay and Washington look like WC teams Cowboys drafting 12 or 13 first round in that neighborhood .
