what a late season discovery.
by ghostofErikThompson on Dec 20, 2008 7:26 PM CST reply actions
Normally I dont care that much about watching the defense (though i do of course)
But right now its edge of the seat for D-Ware.
the preceding post was a great success.
Ware.
I know Stephen/Jerry have planned for this, but dude’s about to get PAID.
I think that question was answered
the day Merriman tested positive
"Losers assemble in little groups and bitch about the coaches and the system and other players in other little groups. Winners assemble as a team."
- Bill Parcells
I have never thought that question was fair.
And anyone I know who watches the entire NFL agrees: Ware does more things better than Merriman, and it more than makes up for the pass rush difference. I do think Merriman is better at running forward, though.
Deion's announcing is horrible
"Losers assemble in little groups and bitch about the coaches and the system and other players in other little groups. Winners assemble as a team."
- Bill Parcells
I don't mind Deion.
but anything is better than Gumbel.
"Obama is a Christian - He's always been a Christian...But.........what if he is[a Muslim]? Is there something wrong with being a Muslim in this country? The answer is no, that's not America." Colin Powell on Obama/Muslim assertions.
pash rush
thats a hell of a rush tonight
"I'm against picketing, but I don't know how to show it." - Mitch Hedberg
Yes..
that was just a horrible exchange.
Surely there is someone, ANYONE, that would be better than Paulescu.

It's too early
to blow your first challenge on such a minor thing, and it wasn’t a slam dunk win anyway.

so
hopefully they still “win” the challenge, even if they don’t get much yardage out of it

What?
No…he caught it, which was the call on the field.
by brettgardner on Dec 20, 2008 8:08 PM CST up reply actions
the challenge was everything
whether he caught it, whether he fumbled it.
Mandatory reading before suggesting a trade
I don't
Get your point. Nothing was called incorrectly except the fumble. The fumble wouldn’t have been the reason Dallas challenged it because the ball went out of bounds.
by brettgardner on Dec 20, 2008 8:10 PM CST up reply actions
that is not how challenges work
you can challenge anything you want to about the play.

I
Understand. But I don’t know what your point is, because nothing about the call other than completion affected the Cowboys.
by brettgardner on Dec 20, 2008 8:12 PM CST up reply actions
if the cowboys challenge
it should still be considered a win if the result is that the ball was a fumble because even the fumbled ball went out of bounds about 2ft behind where they spotted it.
that should still be a win for the cowboys

who was the guy that parcells blasted the shit out of on the sidelines – kick returner, had a z in his name i think?

I didn’t think our offense would struggle this much, and I certainly wasn’t ready for their punting game to dominate.

I'm
Genuinely curious as to what happens f this offseason. I know Garrett is the guy-in-waiting, but he’s calling some shitty plays, not adjusting very well, and, more than anything, he’s just the guy in charge of this shitty play.
Phillips’ supposed deficiencies have been well-covered.
Romo has looked much more average.
O-Line is inconsistent at best.
Or do you just say that it was an injury year and laugh it off?
Hmm?
What does that have to do with anything? I’m talking about the team, not this game.

I’ll be asking the same questions even if the Cowboys win tonight.
by brettgardner on Dec 20, 2008 8:55 PM CST up reply actions
Many of the problems this year were largely known problems that people said “injuries will expose.”
As has been pointed out by multiple people, FO’s projections had the Cowboys about 9-7, partly due to injuries.
cowboys were historically healthy last year fwiw
and evidently parcells teams are always more healthy than others (strange phenomoono)

In 98
Jerry bragged about how he wanted to make a huge splash, get a big name and a go-getter. The person he was thinking of was Donahue, only Donahue split when Jerry offered the minimum and no say-so as to the staff.

Well
He only has 15 carries, and one was for 29.
I asked the question because you made it seem like 3 yards was something you could fart at and get, and I’ve watched Baltimore shut us down on short third downs all night.

Well, you need someone to lose to get in to the playoffs unless you only have a loss or two on the season.
So. . . I’m not understanding your point.
The point is...
playing this game to win and making it not matter.
Controlling ones destiny and such. The Cowboys had the ability to make what the teams do tomorrow not matter tonight.
by ghostofErikThompson on Dec 20, 2008 10:23 PM CST up reply actions

Yeah..
cool. Backing into the playoffs is okay. I understand.
by ghostofErikThompson on Dec 20, 2008 10:26 PM CST up reply actions
What?
I’m not sure you understand basic logic here. If getting in because a team loses is backing in, then most teams back in.
Even the Giants this year, really.
No...
I understand trying to figure out how the Cowboys can still qualify for the playoffs. What I am saying is, those previous 15 weeks had already been played and left the Cowboys in a position to win out to make the playoffs. They didn’t do it. Making the playoffs now is contingent upon other factors other than how the Dallas Cowboys played. If you are counting on a loss in week 16 and possibly week 17, you’re backing into the playoffs.
This team, the one we watched tonight, they don’t deserve it.
by ghostofErikThompson on Dec 20, 2008 10:34 PM CST up reply actions
By the way...
I’m looking at this at an emotional stand point and not the logical stand point of how the team qualifies for the playoffs, so, without fail, my argument is flawed.
With all I’ve said, I hope TB and Atlanta get killed tomorrow and the Cowboys have something to play for next week. But, with what I just witnessed tonight, it’s hard to look for the hows and whys the Cowboys can sneak into the playoffs when they couldn’t even take care of that business on the field for themselves.

Really
The loss doesnt matter THAT much. Still prolly gonna come down to that philly game. Just need TB OR Atlanta to lose one game along the way. Best chance rides on that Minnesota-Atl game.
I’m not all that surprised at the loss, Cameron is a beast, and they have a defense too.
I like our chances in Philly for some reason, too.
Somebody on ESPN radio claimed Philly is out of the playoffs if they lose tomorrow, hmm, I really dont see how that can be. TB and ATL could lose all their remaining games, and if Philly beat us in the last game, they’d have the WC. Right?
And..
It woulda more than likely come down to the Philly game anyway.
Only difference being now we need TB or ATL to lose on, and if Philly loses today they’re not out.
But it’s unlikely Philly would lose today anyway. So not too much changes really. Wasnt a conference loss.
Waaah waaahhh
The Cowboys lost..WAAAAAHHH. The Cowboys are supposed to always win, WAAAAAHHH. Why cant the Cowboys win every game, WAAAHHH!
Basically sums up these threads.
So you think were gonna make the playoffs, no problem?

Per Matt Mosley at ESPN:
“The Cowboys (9-6) now find themselves on the outside looking in for the final wild-card playoff spot. They will root for the Bucs, Falcons, Eagles to lose Sunday and the Bears to fall Monday. Then they’ll need to take care of business Dec. 28 in the regular-season finale in Philadelphia, which seems like such a far-fetched idea in the wake of Saturday’s performance.”

…from the LA Times:
“>>>Dallas can clinch a playoff spot next week with: 1) a win or tie against Philadelphia and an Atlanta loss; 2) a win and a loss or tie by Chicago and a Tampa Bay loss; 3) a win and an Atlanta loss, a Chicago loss or tie and a Tampa Bay loss.”

Cowboys back to a win and in scenario
If Atl, TB, Chi and Dal are tied, TB and Dal go (conf. record)
If TB, Chi and Dal are tied, Dal goes because TB and Dal have better conf. records and Dal beat TB
Is that right?

Cowboys still need either CHI or ATL to lose.

i swear they said dallas was in control on fox
hmm. well i guess its true then.
damn.
the preceding post was a great success.
Thank God I found this little algorithm.
Otherwise, I would be completely lost. The NFL also did everyone a big favor by shuffling the order of the tiebreakers, which really screws with everyone’s minds.

That algorithim is useless
It should allow you to manually input the W’s and L’s. Instead it only allows certain rigid scenarios.
It does allow you to manually input the W's and L's, buddy.
Try clicking on the matchups.
Wow.

So why is TB 10-5
In your link?
Fix hat before it has any credibility.
Look, theres ONE unforseen matchup here that I dont know the results of, if Minn, Dall, and TB end up tied for the WC. Thats because it would revert to common games, which I haven’t/dont feel like working through.
But “gurus” at blogging the boys are claiming Dallas wins and they’re in, so that’s my best guess right now.
I tried
and can’t. I believe the next tiebreaker would be common opponents, but there has to be at least four games to count and the only common opponent for all three teams is GB, so there aren’t enough games for this. Then it’s strength of victory and I don’t know what that means.
by robert_d_wilfong on Dec 21, 2008 4:55 PM CST up reply actions
It means
Who has defeated the opponents with the best w/l percentage.
aka if they all have 10 wins, who has the opponents best record in those..
Like strength of schedule but relegated to games you won..
If the Bears win out, they're in.
"Please. What the hell do you know about starting a sports-related website and then deciding to leave it to work on other things and then? How dare you, sir." -- Michael Schur, aka FireJoeMorgan's Ken Tremendous, to Will Leitch
Not if Minn also wins out
Chicago will lose all WC tiebreakers bc they have 5 conference losses. They’re not getting in as WC.
Minnesota winning out would entail that the Falcons lost.
That’s the magic thing here. The Cowboys need a Falcons loss.

It doesn't matter
ATL is pretty irrelevant to all Dall scenarios. They cant come out of the South as our WC competition, as I detailed.
minnesota is losing 17-7 to atlanta right now
not exactly impossible for them to lose and chicago to win out.
hopefully minny comes back and just ends this.
the preceding post was a great success.
Question
Now that TB lost…. does Atlanta still need to lose one of the next two?
Since TB lost and if Philly loses, does that put Dal in the driver seat again if they win at Philly next week?
Beat Philly we're in
Period.
Tampa automatically comes out of all tiebreaker scenarios as our competition from the South. If ATL wins their two games, then they’re 11-5 and it’s irrelevant, Tamp is our WC comp from the South. If Atl loses one game, it will be a conference loss and TB moves ahead by conf record. If ATL loses two they’re out anyway.
So basically forget ATL from that division.
Forget Philly of course cus of the half game, no ties involve them.
Forget Chicago cus they have 5 conference losses. They will be eliminated from any WC tiebreaker scenario.
The ONLY scenario I’m not certain of is if Minn, Dall, and TB end up tied for the WC. It would then go to common games..somebody figure that out for me LOL..Every other scenario I’m certain Dall is in if they win.
Not true.

wait a second
if chicago wins today they would be 7-5 in conference (next week AFC)
If dallas wins next week they will be 8-4 in conference.
Isnt that the first tiebreaker?
the preceding post was a great success.
Yes
Chicago is irrelevant.
The ONE scenario I’m not clear on is if Minn, Dall, TB end up WC tied. Then it goes to “record in common games”. Dont feel like figuring that out LOL.
It may be cleared up today anyway.
Apologies.
Gave you bad information and, as Sharky said, there is a problem with that Yahoo! algorithm. Figures; if it were a Google algorithm, it would have given me the right scenario in a clean interface.
Cowboys are now win and in, it appears.
"Please. What the hell do you know about starting a sports-related website and then deciding to leave it to work on other things and then? How dare you, sir." -- Michael Schur, aka FireJoeMorgan's Ken Tremendous, to Will Leitch
Yeah
Thats what I’m going with, since I’ve seen posts by (or links to) guys who seem like gurus on both blogging the boys and ESPN Cowboys board state that.
I’m not certain of it in my own head though, just taking their word. Once the tiebreakers get to common games I give up on them lol.
hey, I'd believe the generator thing too
so no problem. just relieved. well, hopefully we’ve got it right now.
the preceding post was a great success.
Wait, disregard this..
What I said about ATL not being able to come out of the south is false lol..
Because if ATL and TB are tied, the tiebreakers reverts to division tiebreaker to eliminate one of them, so we’re back to common games… (they’d both be 3-3 in Div)
Sigh..
Once the tiebreakers get to “common games” I pretty much give up on them lol..it gets too complex for me to feel like figuring those out..
but if they are tied 3-3 in division, it goes right back to conference.
the preceding post was a great success.
Regardless
I believe the winner of the Phi/Dal game will be in the playoffs. Even if there are other possible scenarios, a lot would have to happen in order for both Dal and Phi to miss.
by robert_d_wilfong on Dec 21, 2008 4:58 PM CST up reply actions
well, if philly wins today that is.
they are currently down 3-0 in the 3rd.
but yes, i do believe if dallas wins they are in.
the preceding post was a great success.
Yeah
Guess I jumped the gun on that one a little bit.
by robert_d_wilfong on Dec 21, 2008 9:58 PM CST up reply actions
Nah
It goes to common games..
Basically if two teams are tied for the WC from the same division, you first apply the division tie breaker to eliminate one before proceeding. Which goes, 1. h to h, 2. div record 3. common games.
There’s that common games bugaboo where I always stop lol..
more good news
philly continues to look very mediocre as long as they aren’t playing terrible teams. its a very winnable game next week. that 5th seed would have been nice though considering it will likely draw arizona.
thats got to hurt for the eagles
missed the tieing TD by about a foot.

good gosh, i didn't watch a second of football today
but these scores are amazing, Oak over Houston? Seattle over NYJ?? Philly only puts up 3? Buffalo beats denver IN denver?? What happened to ‘Zona after they clinched a playoff spot? If an 8-8 team gets into the playoffs and a 9-7 team doesn’t in the same conference, just wow…Both West divisions are absolutely pathetic.
Stupid 4 divisions, stupid NFL…

File this under "It Could Be Worse"
After the Lions fell to 0-15 on the season, there was a heated confrontation in Rod Marinelli’s press conference. Marinelli’s defensive coordinator Joe Barry, who is also Marinelli’s son-in-law, is obviously under fire.
Well, Detroit News writer Rob Parker decided to ask Marinelli, “Do you wish your daughter had married a better defensive coordinator?”
Pretty classless move by Parker, though class has never really been his strong suit.

wow, this the same guy that's on 1st and 10?
i saw Terry Bradshaw and Strahan talking about this, saying that this guy should be fired, and he should be…and somehow i wish he’d take Skip Clueless with him…
Stability is key, and JD is a Beast.
Jindal - 2012
That was uncalled for. He should be fired.
The thing about Skip is, He is a bit. He doesn’t believe half the stuff he’s saying. Then you got Woody Paige who is just old. That show sucks.
"Obama is a Christian - He's always been a Christian...But.........what if he is[a Muslim]? Is there something wrong with being a Muslim in this country? The answer is no, that's not America." Colin Powell on Obama/Muslim assertions.
Marinelli
Even if he isn’t a great head coach, there’s no doubt that the guy has lots of class. Takes a big man to take all the heat and then just suck it up when an assclown takes a cheap shot at your family.
Mandatory reading before suggesting a trade
he may not be a great head coach
but he is a damn god coach
Scout: He was a first-round pick right? Got a huge bonus?
KG: Oh yeah.
Scout: Well, he spent a lot of it on milkshakes.

Nah...
He might have class, but he is a terrible coach…
His team will go down as the worst ever possibly.
I'm Ed Werner, but with real secret sources...
uhh what?
he was very well thought of at tampa
and he will catch on somewhere else as a coach and be a damn good one (DALLASDALLASDALLAS!)
being a coach is different than being a * head * coach

I don't
want him in Dallas, I know being a coach is different than being a head coach..
He obviously can’t motivate them, and Wade is terrible at that also..
I want a guy that will kick the players ass but not so excessive like Parcells.
I want Cowher…

Early line on da boys game
Philly by 1-1.5..
Cant see that, I’d have Dallas by 4-7.
I fell really good about this game, just a gut feeling.
I feel good
about Romo turning the ball over, and continuing his reputation for late season chokery.
Nolan Ryan is the Greatest Pitcher ever, because Google says so.
