Winning Division and Bye extremely important!

[TheMarathonContinues]

I am dumbfounded by the fact that such a simple 4 letter word can be misspelled so frequently.

I never understood that either. Like "lose" sounds nothing like "loose". "Loose" rhymes with "Goose". I just don't get how or why people spell it that way lol. Its misspelled so many times that I thought maybe schools were teaching kids that was the acceptable way to spell lose lol.

I can only see that if Dallas collapses and only squeaks in as WC. If Dall and NO win their divisions at 11-5 we get the tie breaker over NO, no way NO wins out.

If Philly wins the division, and New Orleans wins theirs despite their record, Dallas would be in the dome.

Yeah, wild card always plays on the road against a division champ.

Yes if they squeak in as a WC

They're 0-4 on the road. That's horrid.

Yep and they are going to lose in Carolina on Thursday night.

Sorry professor. I will do extra credit to pass your class next semester. Maybe instead of talking football your expertise would be better at www.englishclub.com

We'll play the Iggles three times I bet.

 

[viman96]

lets loose out and see how this theory holds up

Losing out would not be 6-1 and the mindset would shift every week after a loss

It is week 8 people. As Rodgers said, R-E-L-A-X

Maybe if they relaxed less they wouldn't have gotten their doors blown off.

Why?
For 99% of you, I do not need to tell you.

For THIS season though - this is now EXPONENTIALLY important!

Think about this:
Dallas
Philadelphia
Detroit
Green Bay
Arizona
San Francisco
Seattle

ONE of these teams WILL have their first playoff game IN NEW ORLEANS!!!

Do you really want to see your Dallas Cowboys going to the DOME???

Can you see the importance of tonight's game against their arch rival being ratcheted up greatly?

Dallas MUST CASH THIS DIVISIONAL HOME GAME IN!

Personally, I want the Cowboys to face the best teams the NFC has to offer before they get to the Super Bowl, if they can get to the Super Bowl.

Win, and just keep winning.
Playoffs, Division, Home field.....we all know that order....Win and all will be taken care of.....

And this is simply the bottom line. The only people who worry about what others are doing are the ones who's not consistently winning. If I'm Garrett, I don't talk about anything but every possession, winning every possession, winning the 1st quarter, then the 2nd and so forth. Us fans can talk about this all day long, but I would not have them thinking about anything but the next possession.

We are leading the Division, the iggles lost, we are supposed to win tonight, everyone is patting us on the back, ... this is where we have stubbed our toe in recent memory.

If we come out and take care of business, .. it will be impressive.

Bad juju to be talking byes before Thanksgiving. I'm not going to worry about any of that until the second PHI game is in the bag. There's so much football yet to be played, and every year there are teams invisible at the half-way point that end up being the real contenders in week 17. I don't think WAS or NYFG are those teams this year, but somebody's going to jump up and start playing well. In a way, I'd prefer that position to being one of the teams that gets out to a fast start, because it's so hard to carry that kind of momentum for 20 weeks.

I was just listening to "Talking Eagles" on WIP and they were whining about the officiating. One guy said "... and what about the out of bounds hit on Tyron Lue?" "Tyron Lue??? You just bought up the AI Step Over Guy (insert Philly accent)"

If anyone knows anything about the 76ers you will get that reference. Oh they are cracking me up today.

This is where Jeezy needs to show he's not the same old same old too. National televised game is the time to do it. It's up to him to have this team mentally prepared.

If by Jeezy, you mean Garrett, .. I think he will address the team and say all of the right things. He will let them know what they SHOULD be thinking.

But getting the players to listen, and buy in, when playing a team that is 2-5 with their 3rd string QB is a different story.

Sometimes the youngsters just take the other team lightly, no matter what the coach says.

That's why I said if we take care of business I would be impressed. It would mean the leadership on the team took care of it. That would go a long way, not only in this game but in tough games/situations to come down the road.
