I'm pretty sure were gonna be a playoff team. However one win locks up that 5 seed. Which wed def wanna get.

If we can somehow beat Philly or Titans, you rest this team the last week. None of this play to stay sharp BS. This team looks worn down right now, get that final W and rest guys.

The odds of this happening are slim and none. Also the Seahawks are 7-7

Hmm. I wonder what team means Dallas isn’t mathematically secure yet. Not the 7-7 Lions. It’s gotta be Seattle in some weird tiebreaker that activated with Dallas losing to Jax. Common opponent?

It's the Giants and Commanders. Both have 5 losses and tie. More so the Commanders because we have the tiebreaker over the Giants.

but 3 wild card make the playoffs. Dallas should have the third Locked up but someone is still blocking them. Seattle wins the division, SF has tie breaker on Dallas, that might be it

No. SF won the division so Seattle only gets in via wild card. Seattle needs to lose again or if the Commanders lose tonight then we are in. Detroit would be the other team but we own the tiebreaker over them due to head to head. The only thing I can think of if we are in a 3 way tie with teams that are 10-7. If it's us, Detroit and Seattle at 10-7. Detroit would get in because of a better conference record: Cowboys 7-5, Lions 9-4, Seattle 6-6.

I don't think any of this is going to matter because I don't think any of them is going to happen.

Commanders can lose tonight and go 10-6-1, Dallas can still go 10-7. Dallas can’t make the playoffs this weekend anymore

Not according this. This is from NFL.com website

DALLAS COWBOYS (10-3) (at Jacksonville (5-8), Sunday, 1:00 PM ET, FOX)

Dallas clinches playoff berth with:

1) DAL win OR
2) DAL tie + NYG/WAS does not end in a tie OR
3) DAL tie + SEA loss or tie OR
4) SEA loss + DET loss or tie OR
5) SEA loss + WAS loss


So did NFL screw up?

Again none of this is going to happen. We aren't losing out. They aren't winning out.

This has to mean then that WAS losing will somehow affect Seattle’s tiebreaker. SoS maybe?

We are in...it may take some time but we will be able to limp in even if losing out. Seattle has to go to Arrowhead so that's at least one more loss. NYG still has @Wash, @Minn, @Philly...good luck with that. Even if Detroit wins out, we beat them H2H so we'd have the tiebreaker.

Even if losing out, they should be able to do no worse than the 6th seed.

They need to play some of these backup players, but I think they'll do it because the primaries are injured.

Dallas is in the playoffs with one more Commanders loss, so that is the team. So they could still make the playoffs tonight.

This is becoming a realer and realer scenario. Dallas has 4 losses, NYG and WAS 5, Seattle 6.

Dallas definitely makes it, but they have to play their starters to do so
But they have 7 wins. Seattle already played and can only get to 10. New York or Washington loses tonight and can only get to ten. Dallas owns tiebreaker over New York. I have yet to find scenario with Dallas finishing in the 7th seed or out and that’s what Seattle, Washington and Detroit winning out

If anyone thinks resting our starters the next three weeks is going to have us ready for the playoffs you’re living in a fantasy world. :rolleyes: LOL
