As it stands we're tied for the first Wild Card. A win next week puts us at 7-4. A 9-7 team will likely make the playoffs. It's in our hands now and we have arguably the best QB in the league with a top 5 defense.

Contrary to my sig, I now believe.

Great win!

If we can manage to avoid any more "Commanders week 9" games...we should be a lock.

I think we have been a playoff team from the beginning and the coaching staff knows this....we just need to quit killing ourselves.

Anybody notice that we didn't have as many offensive penalties today?

I wouldn't say we're a playoff team yet.

The way we played today....yes....we're a playoff team.

But remember the egg we laid two weeks ago? Remember the Giant fiasco?

This is a positive step....but we've been down this road before. This team has teased us for so darn long.

If we can win Thurs.....and that's a big IF....then I'll start to feel the way you do.

If we take care of business against TB, it will be hard for the Cowboys not to make it.

What a great day. Dallas wins and the other NFC contenders lose! Now, we have to root for the Jags!

if we beat Tampa on turkey day then for sure we will have proved that we are a playoff team!

We were staring down the barrel of going 5-5. Even at that point we had a pretty good shot at going to the playoffs. However, there is no question after this game that this is a playoff team, while there was some before.

We played the best ball I've seen in some time today (excluding our idiot kicker).

Clutch football when the bright lights were on and the pressure of staying in the playoff race, we got er done.

Sean Salisbury just said the Cowboys might be the best team in NFC, better than the Bears. He also said that BP will probably come back next year because of Romo.

This really shouldn't have even been a close game except that our kicker left 6 points on the field.

43 yards and 46 yards are not gimmie kicks by any means.

But they were CLEARLY makeable.....especially for Vandy.

He didn't leave them short, he left them to the right....as he did on EVERY PAT.

I'll agree we're a playoff team as long as our defense is allowed to continue to apply the pressure the way they did today for the rest of the season. I don't even wanna think about going back to that vanilla crap we've been playing on that side of the ball up until today.

Tonights game ranks right up there with some of the best Cowboys games I've been proud to have watched in my 37th year as a devoted fan.

How 'bout them Cowboys!!!
