Oh cool, Brad Sham got a shoutout. He probably my favorite Dallas radio guy; keeps me sane whenever I have to make those 7 hour drives back from DFW on a Sunday.
MVP for the Cowboys tonight was whoever that Fletcher dude is playing CB for Philly. God damn, it takes an impressive lack of skill to be the worst cornerback on the field on a night when Brandon Carr is playing for your opponent.
Yep, they might still miss the playoffs because the Eagles get to play the Turdskins and Little Giants, while the Cowboys have the Colts at home where the Cowboys are worse than they are on the road, heh.
If Dallas loses to the Colts (highly possible) or Washington (who the fuck knows) they are out of the playoffs unless one of the following happens:
1) Philly loses to either Washington or the Giants. Basically Dallas has to finish with a higher record than Philly.
2) Either Detroit or Green bay or Seattle lose out. Detroit and Green Bay play each other in week 17, so that would mean that that whomever loses that game would also have to lose to their week 16 opponent (Chicago for Detroit, Tampa for Green Bay). This seems unlikely. Seattle has the hardest schedule with Arizona and St. Louis but are also probably not going to go 0-2.
So realistically Dallas has to win out in order to make the playoffs, otherwise it needs some help from some really bad teams like the Giants.
EDIT: Also, I guess Arizona clinched a playoff spot with Dallas's win tonight. Congratulations, now please go beat the Seahawks next week.
Yep, they just have to win out. I actually expect them to miss the playoffs because the Colts are good and beating the Skins on the road means they'd have gone 8-0 on the road this year which would be ridiculous. I guess we'll see.
Can we just cut the NFC South out of the play offs this year? Just give another team a bye and call it good. There is literally only one team who couldn't win the NFC South if they were in the division. I wanted the Saints to have a good chance at the division title this year, but not like this. Never like this.
This is a bad argument.
The entire AFC North is still in contention. And possibly for the same reason the bolded is true.
in dallas' favor is that the colts don't have a huge amount to play for
because they've lost to both denver and new england they are locked in to the 3/4 seed unless one of those team loses out (and given that those teams schedules include the jets and oakland, that is unlikely)
The injury isn't that bad in the grand scheme of things (should only miss one game at most and he carries the ball with his other hand) but it couldn't have come at a worse time. The Colts run defense is awful and abusing that to grind out a few eight minute drives is the only way I see us stopping Luck.
Colts don't really have anything to play for, do they? They secured a playoff birth, and even if they loose out are still probably going to have homefield advantage in the wildcard game. Finishing 12-4 instead of 11-5 or 10-6 makes no difference to them.
According to ESPN's playoff thingy either the Pats or the Broncos would have to drop both of their next games for them to get the bye. The Pats play the Jets then Buffalo. Denver is against Cincci then the Raiders. Each might loose one of those games but I don't see either team losing BOTH.
I like how that depending on how the Chiefs/Steelers game goes this week, it is practically inevitable that half the teams in the playoffs on the AFC side will all have come from the AFC North.

Yep, December, the month in which the 2014 Cowboys are 2-0 and terrible memes fall to the ground like Mark Sanchez passes.

And then we probably decide to trade up to draft Jameis Winston.

Let's see if it pays off, Cotton.
The people at the game aren't even watching the game.
