On a scale of 1-10 with 1 being 100% confident we have the #1 seed locked up, and 10 thinking we have a good chance to losing the division to the Giants, where are you guys at?

I'm probably at a 5. I think winning 2 of the next three gives us the 1 seed. However, TB, Det, and Philly are tough tests, and with the way our offense has looked lately, they're not shoo-ins like they used to be. With NYG the pressure shifts to us to come out of our slump and defeat a hot team in TB, and keep it going against Det.

I think we win tonight, beat Det, and lose to Philly. 13-3 and a 1 seed. How we look doing it is another story all together. I'm looking for creativity in regards to play calling from the coaches, and to get Dak into a bit of a flow. Let's get some rhythm going again.

Starts at 10 and gets progressively lower with each drink.

I'm sure it'll be a 10 right after kick off

Eh tonight will tell a lot.

If they lose tonight and stick with status quo it's an 7-8
I they lose tonight but make changes 5-6.
If they win tonight and make zero changes solid 6

My fear is they slide into the wildcard after leading this whole time. That would be a huge failure after dominating. It also tells me that defenses have figured out how to stop the offense, and Dallas is not making any adjustments. One and done

That's about where I am.

Although I think if we make changes, we don't lose. I just don't see how we tweak things and still come up short.

I am confident we will win and be #1 seed, but I let go of getting anxious about us winning or losing awhile back. Just a game that these guys get paid to do and then go home.

I'm at a 0, if the Cowboys collapse then they're not good enough to win a SB anyway.

That's the point, the fact that the reality could be they aren't as good as we were led to believe all year. That's what creates the "anxiety" of that realization, rather than seeing this team dominate all year and continue that into a Super Bowl run, our first in 21 years.

Im at a 6.

But I don't have anxiety about it yet. I don't even have anxiety about today's game. I was really worked up last week.. I think I could feel Dak's anxiety through the tv. So I'll have to wait and get a feel pregame before I decide to get worked up and nervous for today's game lol

Well we know what changes I'm referring to. :D

If they make the change someone will be playing with a chip on their shoulder... That 2014 redemption tour :laugh:

Honestly I think either way I'm good. They win awesome, if they lose it means there could be some shakeup and I'm good with that as well. Just gotta win the following week against a team that is fighting for its playoff life, oh and beat the eagles.

I think Dallas is playing Tampa at the wrong time they seem to be firing on all cylinders and Winston is a damn good QB playing some damn good ball. Dallas has been sputtering on offense
