Yes or No: Do we make the playoffs

[Midswat]

Simple yes or no plus discussions if, you know, you want to and stuff

 

[bbgun]

I believe

 

[Midswat]

I'm not convinced we win out. And I think the Eagles can. Or at least they have an easier road than us.

And I'm pretty sure the wild card option is out.

 

[ThoughtExperiment]

I could see us losing this week but the Giants beating the Eagles so we make it anyway.

Good thing is Washington/Philly is Saturday. So we will know if they have helped us at least by gametime.

 

[Sheik]

Like TE said, I think he Giants beat Philly week 17, so I think the skins game will be the deciding factor after the Colts hang 50 on them.

Sure would be nice of Goodell and league office would move our game to 4:15 against Washington and leave Philly/NYG at 1:00

I'm not convinced we win out either..but I agree w the others who aren't sure philly will win out...winning back to back road games in the NFL Is pretty difficult

one of those games will definitely be moved (but not to Sunday night)

I am hoping so.

Looking at the schedule it seems likely that either Cinci/Pitt or Detroit/GB will be the Sunday night game.

FOX does currently have two 4:15 games (Arizona/SF and St Louis/Seattle)

It'd be a little of a make up by the league for putting us at NYG the Sunday night before Philly on Turkey Day if they'd let us wait and see whether our game truly matters, although its possible that we might not know all we need to know beforehand anyway. Depending on how things play out a Detroit win over GB could give us home field advantage if we win out and Detroit somehow lost at Chicago next week. (pipe dream I know, since it looks like the Bears have totally mailed it in now)

 

[Rynie]

I bet we win out.

 

[Doomsday]

I bet we win out.

All the way to Arizona, and win there as well.

 

[Midswat]

So far, three intelligent voters and eight cheese eating myopic homers.

 

[junk]

Yes. This is the year they get over the hump.

I think this might be the first time in awhile that if the Cowboys made the playoffs, i think they could actually do something. They are built to play on the road and Romo is playing at a high level.

A bye would be a huge advantage. It would allow guys to get healed up and you know it would help Tony with his back issues.

Bad side is they would have to play at home. At what point does Jerry realize that the team doesnt have a home field advantage and try to fix it?

 

[Midswat]

I just have no faith in the defense.

I'm baffled by this coaching staff and front office being unable to field a competent defense in years. So I don't think we'd win a playoff game or make any kind of run. Maybe if we got lucky and played AZ with their third string QB would we actually win a game.

Starting to think we've turned a corner. I think even if Murray isn't 100%, the OL will be establish the run against Indy. Randle has been running well. The team has had the playoffs in their control every year like the past 3 seasons... the odds have to work out in their favor once right?

 

[Doomsday]

I just have no faith in the defense.

After what we saw vs. the eagles - Philadelphia only held possession for a little over 18 minutes and scored 27 points with it. That's really a scary thought when one starts to think about possible super bowl opponents Tom Brady or Payton Manning.

 

[ThoughtExperiment]

I just have no faith in the defense.

I don't see how anyone could. But maybe our O is good enough that we can overcome it, like Green Bay and other teams have in past years.

More than anything, hate to say it so many times, but things are just going our way this year. Latest example, TY Hilton has a bad hammy and might not even play. Imagine what a huge break that would be.

In a way, I'm thrilled to hear this.

In antoher way, it sux. I was the 4th place team in our fantasy league and our semifinals were the past weekend. I pulled the upset over the #1 seed (who had won 13 straight weeks). I have Demarco Murray and Ty Hilton on my team.

My championship hopes are fading.
