2-2 Won’t Make Playoffs For Dallas Cowboys

I really liked your blog with the Lakers mention! NBA Finals maybe this year?!?

atlanta clinched and dallas is just hangin on. Eagles lost giving Dallas a better chance but still slim. Good Luck Dallas!

o yea the bucs apparently beat atlanta in a tiebreak and dalls beats em both. Problem is, if dallas loses they go to 9-6. Philly should beat a declining redskins team and go to 9-5-1. Also, Tampa is facing San diego, a weird team this year, almost like the denver broncos. They are know for comebacks so dont turn away from that game too quickly. on the other end, atlanta faces minnesota who is fighting to secure their spot as a division leader. And, the vikings have the third best rush defense in the league i think. Matt ryan has been declining lately, and if micheal turner is shut down, it'll be tough for 'em
All in all, i see two teams beating dallas for next week and in week 17 it will be interesting. Atlanta's last game is St. louis (easy game) and Tampa's last game is Oakland (easy game) and obviously dallas plays Philly so Dallas doesn't necessarily control their own destiny, it really falls in the hands of all the other teams in the league because they beat most teams in a tiebreak.

thelandryhat you make a good point but with tony romo hurt (back against the giants) and the raven who have the best defense at home (#1 in the league) it will be hard. The steelers have a tough hard hitting defense very similar to the ravens. Look at what the steelers did to a healty romo, 5 INTS! granted it was the coldest game hed ever played (and he didnt even play with gloves, LOL!) its still a similar defense. With ed reed samare rolle (not sure bout the spelling) and ray lewis, its gonna be a shutout type atmosphere. Also, the ravens are not gonna take a loss at home lighty, and their playoff spot hangs in the balance too (check the playoff picture). So, with all this, the Cowboys will not have an easy time winning, but im not saying that it's impossible. Too bad i dont get the NFL network :( lol

Cotton, welcome to the site. I see the final game of the season, Cowboys vs Eagles in Philly deciding who gets the final playoff spot. I think the Bucs beat the Falcons, but the Bucs might lose the next two games. All the Cowboys need is for the Bucs to tumble and it opens another spot in the playoffs. If they have tie records, the Cowboys take their place.

The Cowboys right now control their own destiny. I think the Cowboys can come in and beat the Giants, who are reeling with key injuries as well and Plaxico Burress is gone for good.

The Cowboys should not have much difficulty beating the Ravens, with a rookie QB out there who hasn't seen a defense like the Cowboys defense is currently playing. They'll ruffle his feathers and win by two touchdowns.

Which ends with the Eagles and a huge matchup. The first game was crazy.

K, think about this. Carolina just one their game and they're now 10-3. That leaves the Bucs at 9-4, Dallas at 8-5, and Atlanta at 8-5 also. But, the eagles may disrupt the wild card with their tie this season. The eagles have the browns next week, and with Donavan's new twins and there current resurrection, they should win. Then dallas has the G men. Now, they can win this game, but it won't be easy by any margin. If they lose they will drop to 8-6. That leaves Atlanta at tampa and carolina at home against the broncos (interesting i know). If Atlanta beats tampa like they should, they'll be 9-5, tampa will be 9-5, assuming dallas loses(not guarenteeing anything) they'll be 8-6, and when the eagles will be 8-5-1 (giving them the edge over dallas). Dallas has a tough schedule and with witten playin hurt, Barber not at full health (although tashard choice looks promising) and all of their controversy, they might not even go 2-2. They could fall to 1-3 or even 0-4 (although 0-4 is unlikely)!

This game is a "Mini Super Bowl" for me whenever they play. Dallas, you have to win this game!!!!!!!!!

Lets make those Stealer fans "pee" in their towels. Oops.....too late... already have

There's no reason we can't go 3-1to earn a playoff spot.  When we do that, there's not a team in the NFL that will want to play us.

To answer the question, "Who's the problem?"  I would ask you that.  We have hired and fired coaches.  We have brought in "players' coaches,"  and taskmasters, yet the results remain the same after Jimmy Johnson's players retired.  No Super Bowl victory.  There's only one constant, and that's a GM that wouldn't be hired by any other team, one that has kept his job despite a miserable performance over the long haul, and one that undermines the authority of every coach that is hired.  Parcells put this current team together, but JJ couldn't stand not being the face of the franchise.  If he would ever put his ego aside and hire a real GM and go work on his stadium and the NFL Network while people who have invested their lives in football, not the oil business, run the team, he would be revered by everyone in the metroplex.  However, he's not willing to put the team's best interests ahead of his desire to be the face of the franchise.  Maybe another decade of futility will convince him, but I doubt it.

In the meantime, let's beat Pittsburgh and march toward the playoffs!

Not to be hard core, but if we cannot go 3-1 the rest of the way maybe this team is not ready or too badly crippled. I think we will though unless the ref's want to give the Stealer's another one lol ;-)

Who's the problem?

currently we trail Atlanta for the last playoff spot and we have the hardest road towards the playoffs and the only way i see the Cowboys getting in is if we win out or go 11-5 with some help

number9 is correct that someone's head would roll.  He's not the problem, unfortunately, as Switzer, Gailey, Campo and Parcells, who couldn't win a playoff game, proved.  We all know who the problem is.

If the Cowboys dont make the playoffs someone's head will roll and I think we all know who that will be....

Is it absolutely terrible that I can't help but giggle every time I hear a story about Plax shooting himself in the leg?

I would like to think that we can win the last four games, but I wouldn't bet on it.  We have looked great the last two games, but who wouldn't?  The next couple of weeks will tell us if the team is really back on track or if we looked that way because we were playing two bad teams.  I agree that Philly will probably determine the wild card, and it won't be them!

we will make the playoffs. we will win the last 4 games. we will go into the playoffs as the team no one will want to face. yeah, the giants will get a first round bye, but so did we last year and what good did it do us, i'd rather see us go at it this way than we did last year and fail to reach the high marks we were suppose to. now we play from the under dog and i think this team responds better when it can focus and not have time for the media bullshit. it's all about football now. so, lets play ball

yes that maybe true, but ha, we know it won't BE philly ha

Philly likely will determine who it will be.

I always thought the St Louis game was going to bite them..and it turns out to be true..Funny though..Philly may determine who the other wild card is..
