Will the Cowboys make it???

Fingers crossed the Cowboys win.. There is still a chance.



NFC PLAYOFF PICTURE
If season ended today: First-round byes: 1. NY Giants, 2. Carolina.
6. Tampa Bay* at 3. Minnesota, 5. Atlanta at 4. Arizona (* Dallas, not Tampa Bay, controls its own fate in Week 17).
1. New York Giants (12-3) – Clinched No. 1 seed, NFC East title, first-round bye and home-field advantage through NFC playoffs.

2. Carolina Panthers (11-4) – Clinched playoff berth. Can clinch No. 2 seed, NFC South title and first-round bye with:
a) win/tie at New Orleans OR
b) Atlanta loss/tie to St. Louis.

Will be No. 5 seed with: loss at New Orleans AND Atlanta win over St. Louis.

3. Minnesota Vikings (9-6) – Clinch No. 3 seed and NFC North title with:
a) win vs. NY Giants, OR
b) Chicago loss at Houston, OR
c) tie AND Chicago tie.

Clinch No. 6 seed and first-round playoff game at Chicago with: tie AND Dallas loss at Philadelphia AND Tampa Bay loss to Oakland (AND Chicago win).
4. Arizona Cardinals (8-7) – Clinched No. 4 seed and NFC West title.

5. Atlanta Falcons (10-5) – Clinched playoff berth. Clinch No. 2 seed, NFC South title and first-round bye with: win over St. Louis AND Carolina loss at New Orleans.

Clinch at worst No. 5 seed with: win/tie OR Dallas loss/tie.

Otherwise clinch No. 6 seed and open playoffs at NFC North champion.
6. Tampa Bay Buccaneers (9-6) – Currently the No. 6 seed because of better conference record (8-4) than Dallas (7-4) and Chicago (7-5). However, Dallas will win the tiebreaker if teams finish 10-6 because both teams will have 8-4 conference record (eliminating Chicago), and Dallas beat Tampa Bay head to head.

Clinch No. 6 seed and playoff game at NFC North champion with:
a) win over Oakland AND Dallas loss/tie at Philadelphia, OR
b) tie AND Dallas loss AND either Minnesota or Chicago loss, OR
c) tie AND Dallas tie AND either Minnesota or Chicago tie AND either Minnesota or Chicago loss

Eliminated with loss OR Dallas win.

Well, they do have stong players on that team but like they say all it takes is 1 rotten apple to spoil the whole bunch and cry baby t.o is that 1 rotten apple, and the way theyve been playing lately it will be an uphill battle for them. Theyre going up against phiili this week and I really dont see a win happening for them.

Nope.

I feel the 6th ring comin' on!

Well hopefully TO got what he wanted for Christmas and will get back into the game.. I admit he is a character , but he still can play darn good when his head is in the game. I believe they have a HIGH chance of winning the Eagles.. Hands down.

I only talk smack about the Steelers, because my whole family is from Pittsburgh and all are Steeler fans.. Guess you can say I'm the outcast of the family being a Dallas fan. .. It's all in fun.. Steelers are an alright team too.
