There is basically one way that can happen IMO.... we finish 6-1 and end at 12-4 and the Rams struggle down the stretch and finish 11-5... it’s possible we could win a 12-4 tie-break with them if they lose the right games.

CousinsCowgirl84 Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 offensive rank, eagles get in and we’re out, but that# with them wining both are games. If we split we are in, defensive rank, cowboys go 11-5 and win out, we loose out. That’s strange, i guess if you are gonna bet the over under on our upcoming games bet the under, because we are going to be playing against stronger defenses.... I didn’t know the cowboys defense was that good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warhead36 Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 The only game we have that might get flexed is the season finale against the Eagles if the NFC East is on the line for both teams, but I have a feeling Philly will be out of it by then with how their schedule lines up and their losses in the secondary.

CousinsCowgirl84 Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 i think if they win the first game vs us they probably still in it for the finale. Plus, nfce always goes down to the wire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully it will be no different this year. I made my Week 11 playoff prediction in the paloffs thread: I had us losing to the Panthers in the wild card round. We win 9 games. I picked San Diego to win it all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kleese Posted November 19, 2018 Author Share Posted November 19, 2018 The results yesterday were not great for us, but not terrible either-- especially if you are REALLY afraid Dallas might go on a big run... because in terms of wild card possibilities, we got help yesterday. Let me explain: Obviously it would have been better for us had Dallas lost in terms of the division. But one consolation is that it did a lot of damage to the Falcons wild card hopes. The Panthers and Packers also lost this week. So did the Vikings. So even if Dallas beats us on Thursday and we enter into a first place tie with them with five games remaining, we'd also be AT WORST a half game back of the second wild card-- that's if we lose and Minnesota and Carolina both win. In other words, we aren't in a do or die situation for the division-- the wild card (both wild card spots) remain very much in play in the NFC. I will be VERY surprised if we finish 9-7 and miss the playoffs. So yes, I think 3-3 down the stretch gets it done... the only way that may not happen is if it's 3-3 with all three losses to Dallas and Philly. Winning Thursday would be massive because it would put us totally in the driver's seat for the division. The math becomes pretty tricky for Dallas at that point. It would be a little easier for Philly because they'd still control their destiny against us, but it also might mean they need to win all of their other remaining games too. If we lose Thursday, we basically will enter into a giant jumble of teams scratching for a playoff spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dallas would be 2+ games back of us with 5 to go. They still have a couple tough games coming up too, so they might simply run out of runway to catch up unless we bottom out. It's not desperate for us if we lose, but man would it be nice going into the MNF game off a mini-bye with a 7-4 (3-1) record and having re-established our two game lead over Dallas (and staying two up on Philly).

CousinsCowgirl84 Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 I think the cowboy game is a knockout game for us. If we don’t respond after loosing our qb and drop two in a row I think our defense will pack it it in.... me guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't wait to see that...expecting to see a couple entries from 1999 when we just couldn't shake the Giants (albeit against good teams on the road, like the Lions and Colts). Not much is bright going into this game, which has me excited for some reason. We have only beaten Dallas once on Thanksgiving, we are coming off a tough loss, Dallas has gotten their sea legs a bit, etc. 3 minutes ago, CousinsCowgirl84 said: I think the cowboy game is a knockout game for us.

I see what you're saying, but it would only be that from a subjective or emotional perspective. We'd still be tied with the Cowboys and ahead of the Eagles (with an easier remaining schedule than both of them). I also don't think teams/players are quite that fragile to pack it in.

Yep, plenty of criticism to go around that is warranted, but under Jay the team hasn't ever had any effort or heart/motivation issues. Not saying we never laid an egg in a game or looked sluggish, but that happens in a vacuum to most teams at one time or another. I see no evidence that would indicate if we lose Thursday that the team would pack it in emotionally the final five games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Philly, is only included, because you never know with the NFC East. http://www.espn.com/nfl/playoffs/machine Use that playoff machine that kleese posted to see how things may play out.

Renegade7 Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 This article was meant to reassure us, then went to crazytown: http://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/25314418/dont-fret-washington-anything-possible-chaotic-nfc-east-nfl-2018 Quote Spin it forward, it gets no clearer. Let's say Dallas and New York both win next week, then in Week 13 the Eagles beat Washington, the Giants beat the Bears and the Saints beat the Cowboys -- all possible outcomes. Your NFC East standings would look like this: Dallas 6-6 Washington 6-6 New York 5-7 Philadelphia 5-7 Then let's say, in Week 14, Philly wins in Dallas and New York wins in Washington. Again, not insane. Then with three weeks to go the NFC East would look like this: Dallas 6-7 Washington 6-7 New York 6-7 Philadelphia 6-7 You taking any bets on how that turns out? We need to do everything we can to win our next three games and put this thing away, this could get nuts out of nowhere fast if we aren't careful.

Skins (6-4, 6-2) @Boys, @Eagles, Giants, @Jags, @Titans, Eagles Cowboys (5-5, 4-3) Skins, Saints, Eagles, @Colts, Bucs, @Giants Panthers (6-4, 4-3) Seahawks, @Bucs, @Browns, Saints, Falcons, @Saints Vikings (5-4-1, 4-3-1) Packers, @Pats, @Seahawks, Dolphins, @Lions, Bears Seahawks (5-5, 4-3) @Panthers, 49ers, Vikings, @49ers, Chiefs, Cards I really don't think Green Bay or Philadelphia have a shot at the playoffs but you never know. Divisional Race Realistically, the divisional race is between Dallas and Washington. Philadelphia isn't coming back and the Giants are going to win 6 in a row. With Alex, I had us losing games @Boys, @Ealges and @Titans but winning the other 3 to win the division. I still think that's possible with Colt. The knockout game for us, if we lose the next 2 games; is the Giants game. Lose that one and it's probably over for us. If we win one or both of the next 2, the equation changes and we probably will win the NFC East. Dallas - If they beat us, they probably finish 8-8 or 9-7. There's also a shot of the wild card now: Carolina- We probably need them to lose 3 games, in the NFC preferrably. They play Saints twice. Vikings- At best they only win 3 more games. I think they miss the playoffs. Seahawks- They are real threat to win 10 games, we don't want that. I won't use the Dallas game as a guide on how we could finish because it's a short week. We could win or we could lose Thursday, I have no clue. After the Philly game, is when I'll get better feel on this team. Will Colt be able to lead us to the playoffs or we do collaspe?

WOW. All 4 teams being 6-7, that would be hilarious actually. Week 17 would probably be HUGE for our division if that was to actually happen.
