However, I could absolutely see 2 of the 3 lose and we win. That would be a huge success for us. Eliminates two of them. Then we dont even necessarily have to beat Dallas. We would just need one other game to go our way in week 18. It would be Washington gets in with win vs Dallas OR a loss by so and so. Two different ways for us to get in, in the last week. That's my realistic goal. Two of the three teams 0.5 back of us lose and we win. Looking pretty good at that point. I'll take winning the last 2 games instead of leaving things to chance or backing in. Just easier that way. 1 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a gambler I can’t get past the obvious signs. Browns have to be the play. And it’s going to be hard for them to cover and NOT win (unless we win by exactly one point). I think Watson will have his best game so far and the game will stay uncomfortably close late into 4th. I’ll say he gets his first “moment” and Browns win 23-20. I am also predicting wins from the Lions and Bears, which would eliminate us before week 18– although I do think Vikings have a better chance to win that majority seem to think. I think they are a good bet at +3.5. Lions and Bears are playing each other so they're not both winning thus Sunday And the Vikings are playing the Packers so I don't know why there's any sort of no chance thing going on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why? At full strength they would wipe the floor with us. I'm glad they're banged up. I don't give a damn how we get into the playoffs, just as long as we get there, that's fine with me. Dallas is the WORST matchup in the NFC for us after SF. I'm rooting hard for an Eagles win on Sunday against the Saints. That would mean that Dallas would rest most of their starters, especially the starters that are banged up. Apparently, Dak hyper-extended his knee last night, so it would be great if he could get some rest next week if Philly clinches the NFCE and the #1 seed. I'm not upset at rooting for opposing starters to be out, in order to benefit from that. We want to face the Vikings in the playoffs, so I'm going to root like hell for MIN to get that #2 seed. Don't want a rematch with SF, with Deebo Samuel returning. I'm always for the path of LEAST resistance. I would love a TB Vs. WSH NFC Championship game. That would mean that the elite teams are gone, and we would have a shot at the Super Bowl. Edited December 30, 2022 by samy316 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoCalMike Posted December 30, 2022 Share Posted December 30, 2022 Cowboys starting C was carted off the field and Dak got up pretty gimpy after a couple of hits, I don't think it is beyond reasonable to think that even if Dallas starts Week 18 with their starters in, if the game is close and Dak is taking hits etc etc....McCarthy might start pulling them.

Eagles were just one game behind and it was the next to last game of the season. But I know it was via the QB you hated at the time, lol I recall that QB thread vivdly. But if you get past that, it was a big win at the time. Chris Baker went nuts after the game, greeted by fans coming off the team plane with a heros welcome. Can't recall fan excitement to that level since. It wasn't 2012 level. But can't recall hype in a cliching game since. 5 minutes ago, Cooleyfan1993 said: Were you in a coma on January 3rd, 2021?

The way I take this debate is a big game where the team had to rise to the occasion to win. I wasn't really anxious about that game at least from what I recall. The game was sort of a blah, plodding game, and I expected them to win with the Eagles resting dudes in a meanginless game and they still almost blew it. I don't recall the fan hype being similar to the 2015 clincher game against that same team on the road who at the time was playing Edited December 30, 2022 by Skinsinparadise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoCalMike Posted December 30, 2022 Share Posted December 30, 2022 The Eagles beating the Saints on Sunday officially eliminates the Cowboys chances to improve their playoff seeding in Week 18. I think it could effect who plays Week 18 and for how long. I don't think the "send the other team home" aspect comes into play as much when that team itself is already in the playoffs. Usually it's the mediocre teams who are already eliminated that get all hyped up at the chance to send another team to the post season observer couch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The game just two years ago was a “win and in” game, which means if we had lost, we wouldn’t have made the playoffs. People are thinking wayyyyy too hard about the question that was asked by @skinsfan66. How much hype the game had to some people is irrelevant 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s much more weird to find it particularly meaningful or memorable in a fond way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
