We must enter each remaining game in must- win mode. Cowboys got zero help today. SF will run table and Carolina will lose only 1 game tops the rest of the way. Division champs or bust. And I'm not sure that's not a good thing. If we can run the table, we will be sky high for the playoffs and a legitimate threat to any opponent. I almost want the last game for all the marbles.

I think we will win the NFC East either way.

I suspect that the Eagles will slip up before Dallas does.

If it does come down to the last game I think we will beat them just as badly as we did at their house.

Yes we need to win out. Eagles catching all the breaks. GB with 3rd string QB, snow game today, could have gone either way, went their way.
Next week they get the Vikings, possibly without Peterson, pending his ankle injury.
Hopefully Cutler is back by the time they play, and Briggs too.
Also seem they are getting all the calls going their way from the refs, reminds me of the Giants getting all the calls, as well as some lucky catches during their runs a few years back.

So yes, the playoffs are basically here for the Cowboys already.

If you looks at it a little different you can see we can end Chicago and Green Bay's season in a six day span.

We ended the giants season three weeks ago.

Then we could end the eagles season.

Then hey who knows we might get the dream scenario of a chance at revenge vs the saints at home in the wild card round. I think the panthers win division and NFC. Would love to get another shot at the saints just for the motivation this team would have.

I think all of this will come down to week 17. I'm very confident in going up against Philly in our house with everything on the line.

We need to take care of business on our end and not worry too much about Philly.

You have the Panthers over taking the Seahawks? Doesn't Seattle have the head to head tie breaker on them already?

I'm glad you all have it figured out. We don't need to watch the rest of the season.So Carolina will only lose 1 game and SF will run the table for sure? For sure right? I just want to make sure you are 100% sure about this.

No beating them in Seattle in championship game.

I think this physical panthers defense is going to be the most effective unit in the postseason.

You mean we aren't winning the SB? What's the point?

Hey..

I admire the positive vibes..

But..

We have never succeeded under those pressures before.

I don't even know what is the "identity" of this team after 3 years with Garrett.

When you think of the team..who are we..?

Are we molded in the image of our head coach..? our owner? Our QB? Our Cheerleaders?

Who are we?

This was the one defining thing I was hoping would be fixed under Garrett..

But no..we drift..as fans we get our hopes up and we gets left at the altar every playoff season.

Garrett..it's time to produce or go?

Nothing personal.

It's just business.

Love what you're saying but we want no part of the Saints.

They are the worst matchup for us in the entire league.

Must win mode doesn't seem to work very well for the Cowboys.

Ha ha! It is an ill-fitting suit for them to wear in recent years more often than not.
Let's see what happens this year...

They better hope they got it tailored to fit better because they will find themselves in a must win situation before this season is over.

It always cracks me up to see your username alongside your take on our head coach, btw. Redball Express, indeed. :)

No.

What we need is for the other teams like Philly to fall apart at the mere thought of playing us.

That's how we roll in the NFL right?

We back in and we'll be fine.

Right.

I think they have to think that way but we don't have to think that way. Just need a shot in week 17. Division is only way we're getting in.. The way the Commanders have imploded, if we can't beat the Bears OR packers to give ourselves chance, we don't deserve one.

Is it me, or were you guys saying something similar right before the Giants game a few weeks ago?
