Playoff Status, what this win meant

[jazzcat22]

Going into the T-Day game, Dallas chances of no playoff was 5%, moves to 1% with a win, to 8% with a loss.

Now it is at 1% and the next win moves it to less than 1% and a loss to 2%
Eagles and Vikings currently at less than 1% to miss.

For the NFC, with Sunday games yet to be played.

Dallas has Colts and Texans at home, on the road with Jaguars. Before the home game showdown with the Eagles.
Will the Eagles drop 1 or 2, maybe 3 games by then?
Packers, Titans, at NYG. just lose 1, as we win all 3. But drop 2 or 3 would be great.
Another scheduling opportunity we have. Eagles also play at Bears before us. Dallas will be their 3rd road game in a row. Could this play into our favor as well.

Usually when things are supposed to “play in favor” of the cowboys, we fail miserably. Not saying they will, but I wouldn’t get my hopes up.

The % means nothing. It’s based on win loss % of remaining opponents for all teams. They still have to go out and win.

That’s a great website though.

What the win does mean is if the Cowboys beat the Eagles and Commanders. And Philly loses one other game. And they end tied. Cowboys win tiebreaker.

We need Giants to now kick some Philly butt. They still have to play twice.

I believe the division record would be the next tie breaker, then strength of schedule.

Yes. In the above scenario we would be 5-1 in division and best they could be is 4-2.

Isn't that the truth. We can make the worst team in the league look like all stars at times. That said, most folks tend to play down to lesser competition. I think it hard to get truly fired up to play a team that on paper shouldn't beat a good college team.

This is great except not that long ago Dallas was 190-0 when leading by 14 points going into the fourth quarter. One thing I learned about this team over the last 20 years is they will find a way to defy the odds.

We HAVE to beat Philly no matter what, which would put us at 4-1 in the division with the finale at Wash remaining.

Phil would then be at 3-2 in the division with the Giants in the final week.

Philly has to lose one more game than we do otherwise.

I think we will have a very tough time beating Tennessee, so Philly is going to have to lose a good couple of games for us to have a shot at the East.

there is basically no scenario other than Dak, Lamb, Parsons and Pollard being out for the entire season that we miss

Them and their pompous fans are about to be real quiet. I love it. This team is so much better chasing than being chased.

I think mathematically we qualify with 10 or 11 wins depending on the other teams losing that are in the WC hunt...would be great to clinch a spot early December

i really want to avoid Brady if we can,he has our number.

..I think they will have tough time with GB this weekend. Tenn is also very capable of beating them. I can say even the NYG. NYG is built for RPO action.

Yeah if GB loses to Philly after making our game their Super Bowl….well that our fault I guess, but that conference loss hurt.

In a way I think it’s better that we stay at least slightly under the talking head radar, but it’s gonna be tough to win three straight road games vs playoff type teams in order to GET to the big game.

This team is better than last years. I truly feel that, but that one was destined for at least one home game. This one needs a bunch of help to get there.

Thinking as I type, it’s probably either the one seed or wild card, no in between.

Philly plays the Giants twice still. You’ve given them two extra division wins before they played the game. Geesh.

I don’t think beating the Titans is appreciably more difficult than the Eagles having to beat the Titans. The difference is they play the Titans at home where Dallas is on the road. But the Eagles lost to the FT at home so that’s not an automatic win for them.

Listen young grasshopper, every year it’s a different team. Do you remember in the Landry years how long it took them to win a Championship? THey failed for many years until they broke through. You think the players gave up like you? No.

I would prefer Tampa to Seattle only because weird stuff happens in Seattle and if we were to lose, I would never hear the end of it from Seahag fans at my work. That said, I see 49ers winning the west

Thanks for calling me young.
