Playoff Picture

[Beast_from_East]

Looking over the standings and running some numbers and it aint looking good fellas, I got to be honest.

Division Leaders.....Philly 8-1
Vikes 7-2
Saints 7-2
Rams 7-2 (has tiebreak on us)

Wildcard contenders.......Carolina 6-3
Seattle 6-3
Detroit 5-4
Green Bay 5-4 (has tiebreak on us)
Atlanta 5-4 (has tiebreak on us)
Dallas 5-4

Losing to the Rams, Packers, and Falcons really has us screwed in terms of tiebreakers. Honestly, if we lose to Philly next Sunday night that is probably the kill shot on our playoff hopes. Not only will the division basically be out of reach, but we are getting buried in the wildcard hunt and with no tiebreakers on anybody its not looking good.

We are not getting close to the playoffs this year, and you can thank the front office for one of the worst offseason in franchise history

The special teams offseason.

 

[canters]

We will need at least 10 wins to be in the conversation. That might not be enough.

As of today, I have trouble finding 5 more wins.

 

[Noclaf]

The special teams offseason.

Yea that was bad also

 

[Section446]

5his isn't a playoff team without Zeke, get ready for the draft and the WR we'll need to take in round one.

I suspect that if the Cowboys are to make the playoffs, they will need to beat out the Falcons or Lions for a wild card spot.

Losing to the Falcons yesterday really damaged their chances.

I am a Cowboys homer, but I can admit we are in really deep trouble. The Falcons are liable to go on another losing streak and the Lions are not that good either.

The Vikes front 7 is very very good. They have a journeyman QB now but Teddy could be ready. Their OL is as good as ours.

The Saints continue to beat the crap out of bad teams.

The Skins just cannot get a break. They appear to be just not quite good enough, again.

The Eagles are sitting pretty.

Carolina is bi-polar, so who knows with them.

I just do not see us winning 10 games. Not after yesterday.

But, if somehow we were to beat Philly, anything could happen I suppose. And this board would be a much more enjoyable place.

 

[PA Cowboy Fan]

We're going to lose all the tiebreakers if we aren't careful.

 

[DoomsDayD]

From what i saw yesterday,the only question is where we are going to be picking in the draft.

 

[HungryLion]

The season is over unless Tyron and Lee come back against Philly and stay healthy all year.

So.... the season is over.

No way this team goes 5-2 without those two guys playing ball.

I cannnot recall a Dallas team with so many hamstring issues. Our guys are so brittle-worse than a candy bar.

 

[Hawkeye19]

Next Sun night is our season... we win that game (somehow) and then capitalize on the short week to beat the Chargers on T Day and we would be 7-4 and back in the thick of things.

Massive longshot at this point. At least we get Philly at home.

The trainers suck.

This has been happening for years. Lee wasn’t even getting treatment after he hurt his hamstring again.

The dude should have been getting treatment immediately after the pull happened.

Its a joke.

 

[Clove]

Keep drafting great players, keep spending in FA, nothing will change until Jerry Jones wakes up and realizes that his ego has cost us fans over 21 years of suffering. So that's why I'm depressed, because until the old man and his family sells the team, same old crap, different year.

 

[Risen Star]

If you want a clear playoff picture somebody photoshop Wentz hoisting the Lombardi.

I may not get through this winter. This may be it for me. What a career I've had here though.

 

[Gaede]

I think we rattle off a very impressive losing streak. Not even being pessimistic, just realistic.

The ingredients are all there—with practically all of our best players Zeke, Tyron, Lee, Bailey being injured or suspended—for a rough season. These players have shown no resilience when faced with their most reliable teammates being out of the game, and I think they just lay down and quit when they start losing.

And the fundamentals aren’t there with this team. We can’t tackle. We’ll never stop anybody with our LBs and CBs unable to bring anyone down

 

[big dog cowboy]

get ready for the draft and the WR we'll need to take in round one.

Yea that isn't going to happen.

 

[aria]

We'll see but I think it's far from over. Seattle was over rated to begin with and now they don't have Richard Sherman. GB isn't going to keep winning without AR. Carolina may hurt us but their offense is hurting bad. Atlanta beat us but they also lost 4 of 5 going into yesterday's game and could easily lose more. Detroit...like always, meh.

I'm not saying it's guaranteed but a lot of those other contenders are in worse shape, or just as bad, as we are. I was definitely wrong about beating Atlanta yesterday and I may be wrong about Philthy but I wouldn't be surprised if we beat them. That's what this team does, full of surprises both good and bad.

 

[lukin2006]

This teams not making the playoffs...just like 2015, we lose the true difference maker on offence and this pop warner coaching staff has no ability to adjust and coach the team up...
