The race for the No.1 seed is heating up

[Hawkeye0202]

We still have a chance..........

 

[ChronicCowboy]

Yeah unfortunately we have the most difficult remaining schedule.

This is true. Going to be very difficult to win out. Going 4-1 would be quite the feat and I doubt that would get us the #1 seed.

 

[Praxit]

Yep, right in the thick of it. Hopefully, Leonard signs with us.
That will help our light LB spot. I mean Bell and Clark are good. But we need a bigger body back there.

 

[Teague31]

That damn Arizona game.

PS - them stomping on the Stealers in Pitt was very nice

 

[theanimal23]

Any chance DET can get a tiebreaker over the Eagles if they have the same records?

 

[shabazz]

It's there for the taking........does this team have the right stuff to get it done?

 

[TequilaCowboy]

Dallas record wise at this time appears to be in the thick of it....but with a tougher schedule remaining along with how they perform against better than average teams, it is asking a lot. I think when the smoke clears, they still wind up at the #5 seed.

 

[Kingofholland]

Conceding the division because we're 1 game back just seems silly. There's 5 games to go, not 1 or 2. Sure the Eagles have the tiebreaker advantage and the easier schedule, but with a Cowboys W next week how could a fan count them out?

There is a chance but, the cowboys would have to beat the eagles win out and the eagles would have to lose at least one more game

The Eagles should lose the next 2 games.

 

[Cowboy4ever]

I would be happy with the 2 seed honestly. That would all but guarantee the Eagles are the 5 seed and SF is the 1 seed. We would get the 7 seed in the first round and then Detroit more than likely in the divisional round.. We would go to SF for the Championship game or Philly would come to Dallas. I like that better than the vs 4 seed in round one and then SF or Philly in the Divisional round and then the championship game, all on the road.

This is where the great teams go on a run. The remaining schedule is tough but all games are very winnable. Win out and see where you stand in the end. If they can’t win out then they aren’t good enough and don’t deserve it.

..that's about the plan. NFCCG probably in Santa Clara

Conceding might be a bit premature but the reality is that we have the much tougher road especially given the fact we fall short on the important tiebreakers.

Even if we win on Sunday, we still need a lot of help from Philly and that's even assuming we could win out, which I don't think is that likely. If Philly loses to us and then say Seattle, we could only lose the Detroit game. That's it.

If that doesnt happen we are left hoping the crappy Giants or abysmal Cards can pull an upset.

 

[Sydla]

The Eagles should lose the next 2 games.

Which still puts us in a tough spot because even if they lose the next two, we need to either win out or only lose to Detroit. We lose the common game tiebreaker if our final loss comes against Buffalo or Miami.

 

[HanD]

I don't see us getting it. Behind Philly and tough schedule. But I'm hoping for det to make a run if we can beat phi this week. That would be best case for us as the 5th seed. SF and phi playing each other in the divisional round.

Here is a bizarre take.

It might be better for us to lose to Detroit, especially if we lose to Buffalo or Miami.

Yeah depending on how the games play out it could be to our advantage. Not saying we will or that id root for it. Just that in the big picture the playoffs could shake out better.

Philly, Buffalo, Miami, Detroit, Washington.

I love the smell of running the table in the morning.
