NFL Network, ESPN, Sports Radio...ALL OF IT is seriously talking about how Dallas is about to win 7 in a row and win the division....there's literally more people saying this crazy shit than people even mentioning Giants chances to win it....
at all. The cowboys still have to play Carolina and GB - that game being in GB.
One more loss assures they can't finish better than .500.
They weren't a juggernaut before romo got hurt, lost every game with Romo hurt and now are supposedly invincible?
Fat Man,, you know this is good. We don't agree often but i bet here we do.. let em talk, let Dallas get this shit in their heads... and they will fail !
The belief in Dallas has to do with the other 3 teams in the division.
The media and fans don't believe that NY, Philadelphia, or Washington will be any better than 8-8. If one believes that 8-8 will win the division, than Dallas sitting 2 games off the pace with 6 to play is not eliminated.
If one believes the division can be won at 8-8 than Dallas doesn't have to win every game. The idea becomes even more plausible.
NY over the last 2 seasons hasn't even been a .500 team. This year NY is exactly .500. The media doesn't have the faith that NY will go on a run and win the division. They believe that NY will continue to be a .500 team and leave the division wide open for any team to win, including Dallas.
Like I said before, posters believe this is about Dallas. But it is not. It's about NY, Philadelphia, and Washington. No one, except for their perspective fan bases has any confidence in these teams.

Dallas does have to win every game if Giants go 8-8
As long as Giants beat Redskins and Philly they hold the tie breaker...
for them to have a chance...Giants go 2-4 down the stretch and they only beat the Skins and Ealges...
and Cowboys go 4-2 and they lose to Panthers and Gb Giants still win the division because of common opponent would change from Panthers to Jets but Giants still beat the Bucs so they both have 1 win with common opponents...

Its the Jerrah Effect !!!!
I am sure everyone at the league offices were pulling for the Fins to lose so that Dallas/Carolina game were be something to tune into on Thursday.
It's all about marketing.
BINGO

BINGO
Could be a big reason the league called back our TD
They wanted to make Dallas on Thanksgiving relevant to any extent

Dalls has to go 5-1 just to tie the Giants...so say they go 5-1 and they lose to GB on road...their division record is 4-2
So then it goes to conference record..Best Cowboys can do is 5-6 in the conference
Giants:Say Giants beat redskins and Philly that means they are at 6 wins in the confrence and win that tie breaker...
So again Dallas has to go 6-0 rest of the way even if Giants go 8-8

How do they have tie breaker in common opponents both only have 1 win in common opponents with cowboys beating Philly and Giants beating Tampa...
so say Cowboys go 5-1 and they lose to GB....
They would of beaten Panthers, Skins, jets, Skins, Bills...
Giants go 3-3 and they beat Skins and Eagles, that would cancel the Cowboys Philly win...Skins would also cancel out. and say Giants beat Jets
cowboys would have the Panthers win...Giants would have Tampa win...
So then it goes to Conference
It will get out of control and we'll be lucky if we survive it.

If Dallas and NY are tied in the division, Dallas has the tiebreaker in common opponents. I could be wrong, but I thought that was the case.

That's what I read, Dallas had tiebreaker in common opponents.
That was before this week was played. With 6 games left it probably will change from week to week.
If the Giants beat the Skins and Jets there is no way for the Cowboys to have the common opponent Tie breaker...
You keep harping on how the Cowboys are still alive yet you keep ignoring the basic math of it...
Giants beat Skins and Jets this week, and then get 1 more win, Cowboys are finished mathematically..
and Cowboys go 4-2 and they lose to Panthers and Gb Giants still win the division because of common opponent would change from Panthers to Jets but Giants still beat the Bucs so they both have 1 win with common opponents...
you do know every single game outside of 1 was extremely close right? all of this without their top 5 qb.
Run the ball on 3rd down. If you get a TD, game over. If you get a FG the cowboys don't have enough time to drive for a TD. Doubtful anyway.
6-4 and we'd have too good of a lead to falter almost.
