kleese Posted December 25, 2022 Author Share Posted December 25, 2022 The Green Bay win today lowers our odds of us getting in a 8-8-1. It also introduces the possibility we could be eliminated next week: —We lose —Packers and Lions both win That would be it for us because either Green Bay or Detroit would get to 9 wins in week 18. I’m honestly not sure if those teams tied in week 18 what would happen if all three were 8-8-1; but I THINK Detroit would be in. If we lose and one or both of Detroit/Green Bay lose, we’d still be alive entering week 18. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we can’t figure out a way to win games to get to the playoffs! Than we just plainly don’t deserve to be a part of it! 8 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What if we all lose next week? After all, 4 of the 5 WC hopefuls lost this week. Would any of them deserve to be in the playoffs more than the Commanders? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoCalMike Posted December 25, 2022 Share Posted December 25, 2022 I just hope something happens next week that makes Week 18 not important for the Cowboys. I don't think they are unbeatable, but I also don't trust this team to win a game like that yet. The O-line against Dallas's defense would be a depressing way for the season to come to a close. I've said in this thread and others and I will say it again. The Giants are a team this team should have swept. They blew tons of chances in the first game, and just played mediocre, flat, & uninspired in a game that was supposed to be their statement game and coming out party to the world. (You can make the argument the Eagles MNF game was that, but they weren't getting the praise and love from the media the way they had been in the last month) This season has had a lot of ups & downs, you can make the valid case for other games earlier in the season that they also let slip by, but the main difference for me between those games and the Giants games, were the early season we were a mess of a team for many different reasons, some of those reasons persist to this day, but some were fixed, reduced, & minimized. Tie/Losing to the Giants with relatively the same roster that I just saw go toe to toe with the 49ers for even just a half of football? INEXCUSABLE. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I’m not mistaken, if the Eagles win next week, the last game doesn’t mean anything to the Cowboys, unless they just want to stick it to the Commanders, but I can’t see them playing guys like Micah Parsons, Zeke, CeeDee and Dak in a meaningless game when they’re desperate for a playoff run. With that being said, I could still see Washington struggling to win simply because they don’t score many points no matter who they’re playing.

kleese Posted December 25, 2022 Author Share Posted December 25, 2022 The only way we control our destiny week 18 with a LOSS to Cleveland: —Bears beat Lions —Jets beat Seahawks —Vikings beat Packers So we have very likely run out of mulligans. I am also 99% sure we can no longer make playoffs at 7-9-1; so no need to even investigate the “0-2 finish” possibilities. 8 minutes ago, No Nonsense said: If I’m not mistaken, if the Eagles win, then the last game doesn’t mean anything to the Cowboys, unless they just want to stick it to the Commanders, but I can’t see them playing guys like Micah Parsons, Zeke, CeeDee and Dak in a meaningless game when they’re desperate for a playoff run.

If Eagles beat Saints, Eagles clinch. In all likelihood, Dallas will be locked into 5 seed come week 18. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warhead36 Posted December 25, 2022 Share Posted December 25, 2022 I'm not entertaining the idea of getting into the playoffs at 8-8-1 anyway. I said from the start that 9 wins should be enough and even that was pushing it. Just freaking beat the Browns. Its the BROWNS man. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But than again, I don’t care about those other teams! I prefer to see the team I do care about actually do something to deserve to be there! They have had 3 chances in a row to put a strangle hold on the playoffs and failed each time! They can’t beat Cleveland who has nothing to play for, than I’m sorry! But at that point! Just call it a year and pack it up! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redskinss Posted December 25, 2022 Share Posted December 25, 2022 This is perfect actually, this is what fans should long for, we control our own destiny so if we earn it we get it if we don't we most likely go home, that's the way it should be and I wouldn't want it any other way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In addition we’d need the Packers, Lions, and Seahawks to lose. If all that happened, we’d clinch. That certainly seems far-fetched. What I think is slightly more realistic would be we win, Lions win and maybe we get lucky and Packers and Seahawks lose. Then we would have two paths in week 18– win and in OR Lions loss. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voice_of_Reason Posted December 25, 2022 Share Posted December 25, 2022 I don’t care about any of the 8-8-1 scenarios. Paloffs is now. Go win two mother ducking games and control your own mother ducking destiny. (While I say that I’m putting pins into voodoo dolls of Aaron Rodgers, Pete Carrol and Jared Goff. You know, just in case…) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kleese Posted December 25, 2022 Author Share Posted December 25, 2022 Point spreads are live on my bookie for three of the four games we care about: Commanders -2.5 vs Browns Lions -5 vs Bears Seahawks -1.5 vs Jets Packers isn’t official yet, but I’m seeing Green Bay -3 most places I think all four of these games will have “live dogs” fully capable of pulling the upset.

kleese Posted December 26, 2022 Author Share Posted December 26, 2022 The fact that GB won today and the Packers and Lions play week 18 really complicates the scenarios where we make it by going 1-1. Now, if one or both of those teams lose this week, then it reopens some of those possibilities. But if the Lions and Packers both win this week, it then renders the Seahawks irrelevant to us. And again, if we lose and the Lions and Packers win, it’s lights out for us before we even get to week 18. “Backing into” the playoffs is still possible, but that has become a pretty fanciful possibility. I think we are looking at a scenario where 2-0 gets us in 100%, 0-2 is 0% and 1-1 is probably 25% or less. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
