Week 17, who to root for for draft position

[jazzcat22]

So we win, we will be 16th to 20th, possibly 19th or 20th most likely.

But if we lose, go 8-8 which is Garrett's favorite stat...
We need this to happen to get as high as 13th or 14th.

AND the following happens which I doubt all of it plays out this way. Also depends if they are playoff teams or not.
Chargers, Titans, Commanders, Bills all win, we would be up 4 spots if none of these are playoff teams. Well Commanders aren't.

GB and Detroit play each other, so this may not matter. Detroit win, they are ahead, so we are at 15. GB wins we are tied at 8-8, but by the SOS we still may be ahead of one of them.

Baltimore wins, to put them in the playoffs, but if they lose and we win, we would be tied if they aren't in the playoffs.
Atlanta needs to win as well. As not to play into being tied with them if they miss the playoffs.

So if Arizona beats Seahawks, and they are 8-8 with us as well, and all the other 8-8 scenarios play out, can we get to 14th or even 13th?

All comes down to SOS, but if we lose to a 14-2 team in the Eagles, that knocks us down in the SOS.

Imagine picking #20 after how miserable this season has been.

Jason do something right for once, put the "fight" crap to the side and lose this game.

Right now NFL.com has us at #17

 

[KingintheNorth]

Eagles will rest their guys, Garrett will tell us how momentum from this Week 17 win will carry onto next season.

Wash, rinse, repeat.

 

[Pessimist_cowboy]

I’m hearing cooper rush is playing so that’s not good for our draft position. He’s a real QB that can complete passes.

Haha

 

[Proof]

definitely going to win a grinder against the eagles 3rd and 4th string, and probably get someone hurt in the process (no pun intended)

 

[jazzcat22]

How do they have the Chargers drafting ahead of us when they beat us and have the same record?

Draft is based on Strength of Schedule only. Regular season head to head does not play into it.

this is what will probably happen. team will play a great game against the eagles second team and we will wonder why the cowboys did not show up against the seahawks.

 

[CATCH17]

Dallas needs to worry about what they can control and go out and give 0 effort on Sunday.


I doubt I watch the game. They don’t deserve my time.

 

[Jake]

I'm sick of ending the season "rooting" for draft position, which seems to be the case more often than not now.

where did you read this? link?

 

[JoeyBoy718]

Who cares? The time to tank has passed. We'll get what we get.

"Finish the fight"

More like Finished and no fight

 

[baltcowboy]

where did you read this? link?

He is a troll. Ignore. You will hear plenty from guys like him going into the off-season.

 

[DCowboyz]

We will probably win. Why? Because we've missed the playoffs and the game isn't on the line. So we can't really choke anymore.

 

[NEODOG]

So now we rootin for draft position

Thats like rooting for herpes from a supermodel

 

[Sarge]

I dunno. I'm confident we'll stack one good practice on top of another each and every day this week and come out fighting and finishing the season strong. We have the right kind of guys to do this. I'm proud of the way the players have bounced back after losses..........bla bla bla bla bla.......

 

[Ranching]

I'd just assume win the game. We'll probably screw up the draft pick anyway.

 

[RJ_MacReady]

I root for a bunch of Eagles players to get "banged-up" in that game. I'm talking late hits on the QB, chop blocking their D-lineman, late hit out of bounds, Horse collars, fish hooks, eye pokes, nut shots, clothes lines, etc. That'll make my day...to hell with the score board at this point.
