It's certainly possible Seattle catches us, but I don't think it happens. Also would be nice if Minnesota makes the playoffs, cause it means Washington did not and also the pick Philly gets is worse

You know. There is a certain twisted appeal to pulling for the Commanders to make it in.

Just so we could beat them 3 times in one season.

Is that wrong?

I wouldn't want the Cowboys to have to beat them three times in one season.

A lot will change in the next 5 weeks. The NFC east still has to play each other so teams will lose games. Philly can still be a spoiler and sneak in, especially if they get that week 17 win over us as we rest our starters. I would love to rest players, lose, and knock the skins out of the playoffs.

I don't want any part of that.
Me too. I can already hear the media narrative leading up to the game..."only ___ times in history has a team defeated another team 3x in a season". It will get in our guys heads and it will motivate the Skins.

yea that is a really interesting aspect of yesterday, it kept philly in this. If we beat the giants on the 11th the final week will probably not effect the east but seeding will probably still be up in the air, so we may actually help philly get in and then not really play them straight up in the final game.

or Garrett could do what he did in 14 and play week 17 like a normal week even though it meant nothing for Dallas.

Would be kind of fun to knock out the eagles in their building.

just like the 07 season with the giants, they talked for two years about Dallas, guaranteed wins 3 straight games and lost, brandon jacobs said they would meet us at the airport and fight us at the tarmac the night before the game at NY in november of 07, they started fights, taunted and threw some cheap shots in.....

then when the playoff game was set somehow the national narrative was all about the one comment made from Dallas by Patrick crayton, everything previous for two years was completely ignored....it became all about the under dog giants beating the big mouth cowboys...and nothing could have been further from the truth, they had more free agents than we did and spent more money but somehow Dallas was the big mouth cocky team....

it still drives me nuts how the ny media twisted all that and the dallas media never thought NY could actually win. Still makes me mad.

Same thing will happen this time with washington if we play them again, the National media will take Dez's words and turn it into Dallas is a bunch of loud mouth arrogant prima donnas who need to be put in their place.

I don't want any part of that and I am glad to see dez said last night he shouldn't have said what he said. I don't want any part of what a third game vs washington would be.

You do realize that the cowboys ourselves are actually the last team to beat a team 3 times in one season? The 2009 season against the Eagles. So i dont really see anything to be scared of.

You do realize if we rest our starters, the backup will be Romo and Morris and possibly McFadden...we could still beat them....unless we play Sanchez....:laugh:

Go to church with that scary attitude. I dont care what team we play, our formula can run with anybody in this league.
