We're about to be eliminated from the playoffs

[tyke1doe]

There is actually another possibility should Washington win another, but it's less likely. If Dallas ended up in a 3 way tie with AZ and Min (or possibly another - say Chi/Det - not sure) they could get the 7th seed.

We loss to the Cardinals. We'd lose head-to-head tiebreaker wouldn't we?

That happened on the way to LA to open the season.

Not in a 3-way tie (it works with Min or Chicago, but not Detroit).

Playoffs? We were eliminated the day Dak went down

One more Washington win or Dallas loss and we are out, bros.

If that happens in the next two weeks (it will) it'll make no sense for Dalton to start another game. He won't be here next year. Gilbert should finish out the season.

I'll be curious to see what they do at QB once they are mathematically eliminated.

Any chance that Dalton has any playing time incentives in his contract?

Yes, we all know you are curious to see what the Eagles do at QB once the Eagles are mathematically eliminated.

Yes, we know you are ‘wentzing’ in pain and all ‘butt-hurts.’

Just want you to know we are here for you and will provide you the therapy you need to cope.

This is exactly how I think about it too.

His deal was for 3-7M, so yes, he's going to most likely hit the 7M mark.

Why would that matter?

I recall plenty of it being team performance type stuff.

At least 1M of the 7 is tied to the team winning the SB w him or I'm completely ignorant....possibly both.

 

[fivetwos]

Why would that matter?

Guessing he wants to play someone else to save cap space not realizing how that backfires the next time Dallas tries to sign a vet QB.

Things like that just arent done because it gets you a bad rap around the league.

Cutting your extremely overpaid and unproductive DT to save 8M before the season starts, that's something else.

Expect Dalton to play if he can.

 

[AtomicDog]

Have draft lottery for 5 worst records. That way we can easily justify rooting for victories and not "hoping" For losses.

 

[ChronicCowboy]

Dalton will start as long as he’s healthy. Jerry gave him his word. A Lannister always pay his debts.

3 games left long offseason coming

why bother with whos playing and whos not for 3 games? lets let it happen and get ready for what changes might be coming again LONG offseason, appreciate we had football or sports of any kind in 2020..i know it suks this year stings but its sports and bigger life issues going on , so appreciate what we have not all the small stuff.."dont sweat the small stuff" and the things our of your control..

LOL...so what happened in 2017 and 2019?
In one of the worst divisions in football, I might add.

I agree...I’d like Dalton to start. He’s trying out for a starting position elsewhere next season and if he gets it, we get a 3rd rounder in 2022.
