Who should we root for Sunday GreenBay or Philly?

[Szczepanik]

I think the bigger issue is who to root for in the NYG and SF game.

As much as I despise Mara and want NYG on a loss streak when we play them... it might come in handy to have SF down another game because they have that tiebreaker over us.

I can't stand San Fran, but I just can't pull for the Giants unless they're playing Washington or Philly.

The Niners got lucky and faced Dallas in the first game of the season before Romo was physically right. Come to think of it, all 3 of Dallas' losses happened because Romo wasn't right (SF, Wash) or didn't play at all (Ariz). Every other game that Dallas has played in and Romo was playing normally, Dallas has won.

I really like this Cowboys team. There is something substantial about it.

The bright side is, with a healthy Romo we are 7-3.

Even though Romo was in for the half of the Was game, we really should of been ahead by a couple of scores. *Murray's fumble on a scoring play comes to mind*

I just don't want to see SF squeak into the playoffs, but I do think we beat them in a rematch. It is a shame that the Saints will back their way in because despite their record, they can go off and play like a top tier team at any moment.

The more times Philly loses, the more times Dolly is happy.

Go Pack Go

Let's keep you happy!!! I can't wait for the Pack to put it on them.

I'll pull for NY so SF can get their 5th loss. It'll give us a two loss gap against them. I'll be pulling for Seattle and Arizona against them as well.

Haven't you guys seen the commercial? Aaron is pumped up! Philly is in big trouble.

Yeah, it was a typical Dallas/Washington game in that there was a big gap in the teams and they still play it down to the wire.

Very good point about the Saints too. We could conceivably have to face them in the Super Dome too if they win that crappy division and Dallas gets in as a wild card. I would be ok playing them in Dallas but I do not want to have to go to New Orleans to play. If Brees gets hot, they could be a real problem.

Still, the Saints aren't as good as Dallas this season, period, so I'm not going to worry too much about them.

Helloooooooo!

Before winning a championship - one must first qualify for the playoffs. The only CERTAIN way to qualify is to win one's division. And if the first objective is to get the Dallas Cowboys INTO the playoffs - how can any Cowboys fan pull for Philly in this game? Gadzooks people... it's nothing short of a 'no brainer.'

 

[CowboysFanSince88]

Philly with Sanchez will definitely experience some decline. Sanchez is not really a good QB. Dallas has a shot to claim the division in the next few weeks. So a Green Bay victory will help Dallas more imho.

why do you feel Sanchez is not a Good QB?

any cowboys fan pulling for philly should be banned because it's a eagles fan in disguise. No cowboys fan can that ********

He's probably watched him play.

He's holding a career QB rating of 72 and just managed to tip himself over the .500 mark in TD to INT. Better question would be why anyone would consider him anything but a QB who's not good.

 

[CowboysFanSince88]

m talking about the 2014 Sanchez. I remember seeing him play in preseason and was like............"damm he looks good but then I said its probably because he was playing against scrubs. But I see now it's not the case and I am officially SCARED

We own the tie breaker with Seattle and Greenbay just throwing it out there . If all 3 of us end up 10-6 we get in and they're out .

We can actually get the tiebreaker over San Francisco even though we lost to them................its weird, but this is the scenario...................in a 3 way tie, the first 2 teams compared are the division teams. So lets say Arizona wins the division and then Seattle, San Francisco, and Dallas are all tied at 10-6 for a wildcard for example.

Since the first two teams to be compared are the division teams, Seattle and San Francisco would be compared first and if Seattle has the tiebreak over San Fran, then San Fran is eliminated. Then Seattle is compared to the non-division opponent (which is us) and since we beat Seattle, we would have the tiebreak.

Thus........if Seattle, San Francisco, and Dallas are in a 3 way tie for a wildcard, we would advance even though San Francisco beat us....................my 49er buddies would be so pissed if that happened

Edit**** this example only holds if Seattle has the tiebreak over San Fran, so we all better hope Seattle beats San Fran when they play each other.

Go Pack Go!

 

[Bullflop]

We need to think about winning our division first and foremost before looking at other considerations. I'll be pulling for Green Bay to take down Philly and enhance our chances of taking the division crown. That's our #1 priority.

 

[links18]

I agree that we want GB to beat Philly, but I don't think we want GB winning their division, so root for the a Lions today.

 

[bodi]

you want Division foes to be beat

 

[Idgit]

There is no path to the Superbowl that does not require us to beat multiple very good teams in difficult situations. And, in any event, the best teams are usually the ones that get baked in a crucible during the regular season. I just want the division teams to lose and for us to have the best possible shot at winning the East. The rest will sort itself out from there if we just stay healthy and play like we're capable of playing down the stretch.

I cannot understand any Cowboys fan ever pulling for any division rival in any game unless it's the final week or two and it's the only way into the playoffs. I hate the Skins and Eagles more than the Giants, but I love to see every one of them lose every week. If we can't play our way into the playoffs, then why expect to do much when we get there. If I need a win by a division rival to get us into the playoffs, I'll worry about it at the end of the season, not now.

If you are into all the statistics. according to the fivethirtyeight website. A Philly win increases our odds of making the playoff 1.9% If Green Bay wins our odds fall -0.8. The implication of the Giants vs San Fran game is, if Giants win our odds increase +3.2 % and if 49ers win they decrease -1.8. Seattle vs KC also impacts us.
KC win increases us 3.2% Seattle win decreases us by -4.0%.
