The Fifth Seed It Is

[Grenic]

We have a 0.8% chance of winning the division. I feel that’s being generous.

We are going to be the #5 seed in nearly every conceivable path forward. As such, rest up everyone, put Rush out there and just hope they can win in the road against the NFC South. No sense in putting guys out for three meaningless games.

Anything can happen in January. Get some guys healthy and see what happens.

We have seen what can happen and it's not good, nothing changes

The Cowboys need to taste embarrassment and go into the playoffs angry. Best case scenario.

25+years of embarrassing is not enough?

Healthy, lazy and rusty. Three elements for a championship run.

To be fair, this particular group cannot be blamed for the past failures. They have their own mediocrity to build upon.

If we are going to win in the playoffs we need to start winning games on the road. This team hasn't showed that it can consistently this year.

Bucs looked decent today. Careful what you wish for with the 5 seed

The Bucs stink but they will probably beat us if we play them in the playoffs.

this team is never angry

You are right. Need a guy like the Playmaker on this team. Irvin would have been ripping them all new ones on the sidelines.

Yep, the Packers stunk even worse and look what Rodgers did to us. It will be a repeat of that, bet the farm on it- LOL

This Jacksonville loss doesn't materially alter the Cowboys' outlook IMO. The Jaguars have knocked off two other playoff teams this past month... they are legitimately good, and we lost a 1 score OT game to them. That is within variance.

We have basically been locked into the 5th seed for a while, and are a clear step behind Philly any way you want to slice it. It would not take variance or a couple good bounces to beat Philly, it would take like 3 or 4 new starters. Same deal with the 49ers. Those two teams are the class of the NFC right now, and we are a notch below it.

The Buccaneers are a fair matchup for us. They friggin suck, and if we played tomorrow, I would favor us to win. If we lost, it wouldn't be by more than a touchdown.

Sending Brady packing is our Super Bowl IMO... from the divisional round on, I have no expectations of success.

Are we so sure it's the 5th seed? I think if we only win 1 of remaining 3 games and Giants win all 3 of theirs (at Minn, v Hou at Phil who may well rest their starters) they would then be second in division and we would be third.
