We now have 4 teams that are 2 games ahead of us for the wildcard

[leeblair]

Hey, they play commanders twice, no way that are winning both. Commanders went head to head with Denver last week. Denver won in OT

You have to realize that was a prime time game, and the NFL's advertisers and gambling sites don't like blowouts.
The Broncos won, but it had to stay close or people go to bed or change the channel.
How else do you think the Cowboys tied the Packers?

 

[leeblair]

that was a weird game, i Saw that one. Wash looked like the better team, and the home team lol.
Denver looked like the 3-8 visitor.

We cant make the playoffs .

gosh darn . I hope we tank the rest of the season .

DO SOMETHING THAT MIGHT BENEFIT THIS TEAM FOR ONCE .

Best scenario is 0-4 ... FORGET ABOUT THE PLAYOFFS .

Start thinking about draft picks .

You have a lot of faith in our drafting. Not sure it's worth showing a loser mentality.

More than what we already have, that is.

The current situation is a perfect example of not being emotionally invested (e.g., rooting) in other teams' wins and losses. One thing always rings true. A team takes care of its own business, or it fails to do so.

May as well pump all your wants and desires into your favorite team winning and riding with the results. It saves on biting fingernails more than necessary. It was more than enough for me biting mine watching Thursday night's game. Other team win-or-lose rooters must have nubs for fingers compared to mine. My teethy manicures stop at the fingertips, lol.

RIGHT!

Take care of your own business.

I know this is not a Dak thread but I just want to make an analogy.

"Dak had a bad game"
"Other QB's do"
"well maybe they do, maybe they don't...not all bad games are created equal....and I don't care what other QB's do or don't."

I don't care what other teams do...I might root against Eagles and skins. Fine sue me! But not for playoff spots...just pure hatred.

I care about what my team does.

For sure going to be worst case scenario for having 2 1st round picks. Going to end up at something like 15 and 25…with no 2nd or 3rd.

 

[kskboys]

Bruh...our perspective should be on draft order, not the Wild Card. Been saying this forever...

Oh, me too.

Even if we snuck into the playoffs somehow this team just proved that it’s exactly the same as the past few years and would just lay an egg in Green Bay or SF yet AGAIN so what’s the point?
we should start Milton the rest of the season just to see if he has anything, and take draft slots a few picks higher.

 

[CowboysFever1973]

If we sneak into the playoffs I’ll personally request the mods to delete my account that’s how confident I am that we’re OUT

lol so how are they keeping the game close and competitive with out doing a mild fix ??

Are you crazy? There are more stats to secure. Screw the playoffs, we now view stats as playoffs and Super Bowls. smh.

They aren't. The fix is in.

 

[rambo2]

yep .

we are out .

Not yet.

The game right now that should haunt Dallas is the way Arizona a 3-9 horror movie came into Dallas and manhandled the art gallery . Broke some furniture spilled Gatorade on the carpet basically did a dine & dash job in Arlington . You can’t be a serious contender and lose at home to this desert carcass.

The Eagles lost at home to Arizona in 2023.

 

[CT Dal Fan]

The wild card has been a lost cause for a while.

Dallas' only path to the postseason is to pass the Eagles in the NFC East. This can be done by:

1. Winning out (10-6-1) while the Eagles lose twice (10-7).
2. Winning three (9-7-1) while the Eagles lose three (9-8).
3. Winning two (8-8-1) while the Eagles lose all four remaining games (8-9).

 

[DZSierra]

You call yourself fans?

Let the season play out, win every game on the table, and we might get it!

This is what Jerry hopes

The reality is given the new coaches and letting #11 go at the last minute before the season, if anyone actually thought we would make the playoffs, you're a better fan than I.

 

[erod]

This season ended when Dallas lost to Arizona, which was the only win the Cardinals have had in their last 11 games.

Why can't the Cowboys beat the Cardinals anymore?

The Cowboys are a better team now than they would have been with one-trick Micah. By far.

 

[GimmeTheBall!]

Look at us, having the vapors and clutching our pearls as we fantasize about the various scenarios that might give this 6-6-1 team a chance.

Forget that we have the 29th rated defence and our No. 1 offence gets rattled and makes costly mistakes in catching up, numerically, to opponents.

Forget that our fans give up like France.
