That’s the biggest issue. I can absolutely see the Eagles taking an L. It’s SF that doesn’t seem to lose

The Cardinals are lifeless. David Blough will be their starting QB. Absolutely no chance they beat the 49ers.

Read that Tampa Bay was playing their starters...
This weeks games will be interesting to see who sits and who plays...
Maybe for a few minutes, but I'd bet Brady and anybody with a hangnail will not play. They're in the same position as the Giants with nothing to gain.

Either way, they're only preparing for us this week.. Brady is crunching film on us by the minute. Dak is studying Washington.

Are we all kind of ignoring how realistic this actually is?

I’m trying to not get my hopes up but even if Hurts plays there is no guarantee he can even move the offense with a banged up shoulder.

The Giants are a better team than the Saints so if Minshew plays again then I fully expect NYG to win that game.

Dallas needs this and having home field and rested players is everything.

Heck I wouldn’t mind if they reschedule Buffalo and Cincy and delay the playoffs by a week but I doubt they’d do that with so many people already making playoff travel plans.
In my opinion, 1st rd bye is unattainable as Arizona is starting their 3rd string QB on the road against the 49ers. Do believe there is a slight chance the Eagles lose, but we lose the tie-breaker to the 49ers. Perfect world, we get the 2 seed and play the Seahawks at home.

Rumor is the Nfl may be adding an 8th team to the playoffs for this year, so no one will be getting a bye week?

Had the Raiders just won in OT on Sunday this thing would be really interesting.

We still can win the division but our consolation could be a red hot GB team or even Detroit if Seattle loses.

What rumor from what sources. How could they change this going into the last week of the regular season?

Tom Brady isn’t rooting for us to take the division lead















Honestly, I doubt TB is rooting for or against a possible opponent...that would probably apply to all players fans are the only ones running around playing chicken little.

I have every finger and toe crossed because for some stupid reason back in August I placed a wager on us winning the division. And then week one happened and was ready to throw in the towel like everyone else. Now you are saying there is a chance??? My bank account and I hope you are right. (550-1)
The season was over from the opening kick

I believe the Giants can beat the Eagles. I believe the Cowboys can beat the Commanders.
I do NOT believe there is any chance at all that the Cardinals can beat the 49’ers. Therefore, I don’t believe there is any chance of Dallas getting the #1 seed and the bye.

However, Jerry wants the home playoff game for obvious reasons, so the Cowboys will play to win the game.

Forget the 49ers, the Giants are a longshot as well. They got curb stomped at home the last time they played. The only thing that stopped the Eagles from scoring was the end of the 4th quarter. I guess anything can happen but, do they even care about the game? Are the Giants going all in to win that game?
