Remaining games: NFC playoff contenders***Official NFC Playoff thread with schedules***

We're probaby out already but lose to the Bears and it's all over but the crying.

Probably out already? At 8-4 with 4 games left and only a tiebreaker away from being in the playoffs currently. No not really.

We need help to get in now so I don't like those odds.

I know, right? Lots of games left for every team.

We could actually LOSE to the Bears and be the 6 playoff seed by the end of Sunday's games.

That is false. We do not need help to get in. We still control our own destiny in that if we win out we'll be guaranteed a playoff spot. It would be mathematically impossible for us to not be in the playoffs if we end up 12-4.

 

[30yrheel]

So does that mean we win the east with a tie with Philly?
Or do we get the wildcard over green bay, Detroit, Seattle, or Arizona? Right now we're no. 7 in the NFC.

The Cowboys control their own destiny because Philadelphia and Seattle play each other.

How is it we need help? 12-4 doesn't get us in?

We don't need help. If we win out we are in.

 

[Beast_from_East]

We don't need help. If we win out we are in.

Looks like we are going to have to win 3 of the 4 to get into the playoffs.......................we currently have only a 42% chance of playoffs at 10-6

If this group of Cowboys is going to run with the big dogs and make their own mark for the month of December...a 4-0 mark should be the record for Dallas.

Every team on the remaining list should have the realistic chance of being a win for the Cowboys. I'm looking for no less than that 4-0 mark, and starting in Chicago this Thursday.

If Lions and Seahawks win out we still sit at 7th seed with all three at 12-4.

 

[Kevinicus]

If Lions and Seahawks win out we still sit at 7th seed with all three at 12-4.

If that happens, we're going to be the 3 seed.

 

[pancakeman]

If Lions and Seahawks win out we still sit at 7th seed with all three at 12-4.

If we win out and the Seahawks win out, that's two losses for the Eagles and then we take the division with a better record, no?

 

[jobberone]

And on the flip side, can anybody name me one single head coach in the NFL that missed the playoffs 4 consecutive seasons and was brought back for a 5th season?

Not saying Jerry is going to fire Garrett if we miss the playoffs, just saying NFL teams don't tolerate this level of failure for this long without making changes.

Anybody think of one single head coach that was retained for a 5th season after missing the playoffs the previous 4?

Landry to start.

 

[jobberone]

We probably need to win the next two games to make the playoffs. Lose to the Bears and we need help and then win out....most likely. Any loss from here on out is problematic.

 

[hornitosmonster]

Chicago and Washington are must wins, even then I don't know if 10-6 is enough. We play better on the road so we can beat the Eagles in Philly

 

[Idgit]

If we win out and the Seahawks win out, that's two losses for the Eagles and then we take the division with a better record, no?

Yes.

Here are the remaining games for all fighting for a playoff spot.

ARI 9-3: KC-@STL-SEA-@SF
SEA 8-4: @PHI-SF-@ARI-STL
SF 7-5: @OAK-@SEA-SD-ARI

GB 9-3: ATL-@BUF-@TB-DET
DET 8-4: TB-MIN-@CHI-@GB

PHI 9-3: SEA-DAL-@WSH-@NY
DAL 8-4: @CHI-@PHI-IND-@WSH

NO 5-7: CAR-@CHI-ATL-@TB
ATL 5-7: @GB-PIT-@NO-CAR

This will be an interesting finish. I can see Arizona losing out, and Seattle winning out to clinch the West.

I wouldn't mind Detroit dropping some, I can see them losing their last two. Divisional games can be tricky.

Have fun with it zoners!!

Yes you are correct.
