Boyz pulled CB Joseph for his poor coverage, meanwhile their other 2 starters are injured - we'll feast in that area.

Man,they don't have solid backups at every position?  I thought that was only Howie who couldn't get good depth on his roster?

Patriots ending was just insane. Only that kind of unbelievable stuff happens in  sports!

The best is the fact that BB is their coach and that dumb play happened under his watch....lol.

Seems like your math maybe wasn’t that exact No Mas. You told me you were convinced two wins by New Orleans would still keep that pick top ten. Yet one win moved the pick back to 9.

That cap management has their fifth corner not at a proper level. We had one corner go down, Maddox, everybody feasted.

So just thinking out loud.

The Eagles number is one win to clinch the NFC. Theoretically they could rest their starters against the Cowboys then just have to win 1 of 2 at home.

They're not gonna rest starters against the Giants if they have the first round bye.

Yes is very interesting to contemplate what the best path would be. Really you could rest the top players all the way now and most likely still achieve getting the one seed. Or you could play everybody and keep your foot on the gas the rest of the way to keep that edge knowing we get one week off for the postseason bye. And all answers in between. Key guys get injured would be a mistake. Losing all momentum and mojo going into postseason would be a mistake. I really not sure how you go about things. The best answer would be to blow teams out in the first half and then pull key players.

This is a definitive conundrum. If I were the coach, I would let the locker room decide. If they turned it back on me, I rather have them healthy for when it matters……after securing the #1 seed of course. Until you have it, the answer to this situation does not even matter.

 I wouldn't. Everyone gets rusty. To lay down against Dullaz is mutiny. The fans won't have it

That long TD run in by Hurts was very impressive. He obviously just read the big blitz coming and ran through the other hole.

So tanking last year for a better pick was utterly a ridiculous idea, but we can tank now cause we're winning  🤣. Yeah let's hand pick which games we'll play. I'm sure other teams will allow us to "blow them out" since they know we won;t be playing after the 1/2. I'm sure if you ask,they would all be fine with this

Yes, heading for where the daylight is has never been done before

Pull everyone. We need to kill off any hopes that Hurts has about winning the MVP and also crush players stats in contract years so we can re-sign them cheap

None of this applies to my post you quoted. How can we even tank when we practically have the one seed locked up now?

I’m not making all my decisions based on personal achievements. Basing it on what’s best for the team.

QBs that can read defenses have an easier time running to the daylight.

Could see tanking vs the Saints but it would be too obvious. NFCE has a bad habit of beating each other up - we're the black and blue division. Sweeping dullass would be nice, w/ their troubles on the lines and CB it's a good opportunity.

Isn't that exactly what Peterson did in 2017 against Dallas?

Same thing basically, you want to quit and I find that surprising.

Never been done before. RB's run for the daylight also lol(and Hurts is our best RB)

Now you're talking about an entire team doing it

I know of no athlete on the planet that would sit out rather than play,but apparently we need to make that statement? We have prayed for a winner for many years ,and now y'all want to quit. Amazing

No we need to beat them to get that pick up(with as much help as we can get)

Despite the game next week we have a good chance of seeing Dullaz again in the playoffs. They needed to win today to clinch(they did not). Now IDK what happens from here on but why would you pull everyone and make it easier for them to be the wild card? I'm not understanding why everyone is ready to quit

Outlook: The Cowboys are a near lock to make the postseason, up 2.5 games on the Giants and Commanders with the head-to-head tiebreaker over each of them (Dallas swept New York). The Cowboys are up three games on the Seahawks as well (Dallas doesn't play Seattle this year). 

The Cowboys are just two wins away from locking up a postseason berth. Even with three of their final four games on the road and three games against teams over .500, they should make the postseason.      This was before today,they LOST today,so they need to win 2/3 remaining games and you want to let them off the hook resting guys??? OMG.Their LAST home game is next week vs us.A win would force them to win BOTH remaining games on the road

Yes... the pick can still finish top 10... I just mentioned this  week it could have dropped to 11 the way the schedule fell.  Jax and Raiders wins kept it at 9.  

6 wins for them means they lose to one of Carolina or Cleveland... Green Bay has better SOS... they beat the Rams they stay behind.  Very easily can stay at 9 with only 6 wins from the Saints.  I would prefer they don't win another game though.

Hated a QB making his first start against them...fishy to me, it's why I expect Carolina to roll over last game... unless they have a chance to win the division

Yeah...teams feasted!  Indy had 16 points... tasty feast.
