Yes or No: Do we make the playoffs

[dbair1967]

Heard Bill Polian on ESPN this morning, he really likes Dallas' chances it sounds like. Says he loves our O and our kicker.

Sounded like he was thinking a Dallas- New England Super Bowl was a real possibility.

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.

How many times do we have to explain the process to you?

The league and the pundits are already salivating over the possibility of having a all-out shootout super bowl similar to the Dallas-Denver game last year. They actually think a 52-49 score represents a "good game."

Idiots

It took them three months to stop talking about how "great" of a game that Dallas-Denver game was.

Then they were sooooo disappointed in a actual, truly great game - the Seattle-Denver super bowl - they whined, screamed and kicked for rules changes so mean old bully defenses can't stop anyone.

I voted yes.. But that has more to do with me thinking it's gonna be really hard for the Eagles to go 2-0 in the remaining weeks against division opponents looking to play spoiler.

I could see us going 1-1 and still squeezing in.

Apparently all it takes is for us to beat the Colts and the Eagles lose this weekend and we are in.

The road to the playoffs got that much easier because of Sunday's win. How monumental that game was for us can't be stressed enough. Hopefully they didn't pop their cherries winning it like the Skins did to us. They haven't won a game since.

We can also clinch a playoff berth if we win and GB and Detroit both lose.

Not likely, but it's a scenario that gets us in.

New England would thrash Dallas if that happens. Belichick would devise a scheme to shut down the O, leaving the defense completely exposed

For all you Garrett haters, how good would you feel about him going up against Belichik?

It would be ugly

We're goin all the way and we gone win the soup bow.

Get used to the concept.

 

[Bob Sacamano]

It's called the ship.

The Colts have clinched their division. They have several injured players. Why play hurt players if you've clinched your division?

Advantage Cowboys.

If course that's also all the more reason for them to be flat, not up for it.

They still have a chance at a first round bye. They won't rest players this week.

Belichick is one of the all time great coaches, but he lost to vastly outmatched Giants teams twice (2007 and 2011) so he isn't invincible. He hasn't won a championship since 2004.

We can definitely move the ball and score on them.

10-4....pretty remarkable

If this team goes 12-4 and makes the playoffs...that right there has to be considered a successful season...how could it not be?

I was always more worried about the Colts than the Eagles...so I'm not ready to say we are getting in by any means...but this team is proving themselves each week

It would have to be, the expectations were the lowest they'd been in years for this team. Most said they'd be lucky to go 6-10 and almost nobody thought they had a legit chance at the postseason.

Roger Staubach defined "successful season" in Dallas. Super Bowl win. Period. We need to get back to that definition.


BUT.... I must concede that for people like myself who predicted 5-11 or maybe 6-10 at the outside, 10 wins is wonderful. Of course, all of us who predicted such had no idea the extent of Tony's back injury would make Dallas wake up and realize running the ball is, winning football. So is having a very good 3rd down conversion rate. Keeps that vulnerable defense off the field.
