[NYPAO13]

Romo out for 4 weeks... The cowboys also acquired R.Williams from Detroit..

Pac Man Jones suspended indefinately

[Crazy]

The Cowboys went from been considered the best team at the start of the season to be the most unpredictable team right now. :o

[BlueStriker]

58 yard field goal by Janikowski in OT for the Raiders to beat Favre and Jets! and he had an extra 5 yards on that kick!

Packers beat the *(*(# out of the Colts.

Bears beat Vikings 48-41. Looking good in those orange jerseys. :tup:

[loup]

one day the Polish Pickle is going to hit a 80 yarder

his leg is unmathced

[NYPAO13]

My cowboys lost again to the rams.. no qb & no defence = problems

[AEKPROTATHLIMA]

DOLPHINS are 4-4 BABY!!!!!! We are still alive! It seems that we are supresing everyone this year!!! :tup: :tup: :tup: :tup: :tup: :tup: :tup:

[rodoj]

The Cowboys are done this year unless they fire Wade Phillips. He has brought a lack of passion, discipline and accountability by players and coaches.

Jerry also is to blame as he was lazy when it came to a backup QB and it shows.

Pathetic display vs the Giants but expected from a team that has shown no heart and no pride for the money they are getting paid.

Pathetic display vs the Giants but expected from a team that has shown no heart and no pride for the money they are getting paid.

The Cowboys had a suspect defense and chemistry problems prior to their mounting problems. Phillips has never won a playoff game in 4 tries. Owens has been a headache everywhere he has gone and is the biggest chemistry disruption along with the other egos. Against my Giants, the Cowboys came and played to lose and showed no heart and pride.

[plato-ny]

Crazy, the Jets, Cardinals, and Ravens are all 5-3 this year so they are good teams, too.

[Crazy]

Crazy, the Jets, Cardinals, and Ravens are all 5-3 this year so they are good teams, too.

Yes but they would all be 4-4 if it was not for my team.....and i believe that the 4 teams that we managed to beat are stronger opponents that that group, in my eyes at least, with the exception of the Ravens maybe.

[NYPAO13]

Best game this weekend.. Cowboys at Steelers..

The NFL flexed out of seahawks vs pats & replaced it with skins at ravens, for sunday night

:nw: :nw: :nw:

[plato-ny]

Try to score points on the defenses of the Steelers and Ravens and also patch up the defense and then talk Super Bowl.

[NYPAO13]

ravens-steelers by far the best game this weekend. steelers won 13-9..

other games that were almost as good falcons = bucs, & cowboys - giants

Cowboys still alive with this win :tup:

[rodoj]

Cowboys live to hope for another day but frankly don't see them going into the playoffs without help from other teams. Their defense is playing well but the offence is just sputtering. The OL is just not overpowering as one would expect with LG being a particular weakness. Proctor, for a man his size, is just being pushed back on bull rushes or is too slow to stop in inside speed rush and Romo is just getting whacked. Unless this OL toughens up it, the team will not go far if they make it into the playoffs.

No matter what happens, Philipps should not continue as a Head Coach. Make him a defensive coordinator but just get him away from managing the team. He is too soft and commands no respect from the players.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

TieBreaking Scenarios

The six postseason participants from each conference will now be seeded as follows:

1. The division champion with the best record.

2. The division champion with the second-best record.

3. The division champion with the third-best record.

4. The division champion with the fourth-best record.

5. The Wild Card club with the best record.

6. The Wild Card club with the second-best record.

The following procedures will be used to break standings ties for postseason playoffs and to determine regular-season schedules.

NOTE: Tie games count as one-half win and one-half loss for both clubs

TO BREAK A TIE WITHIN A DIVISION

If, at the end of the regular season, two or more clubs in the same division finish with identical won-lost-tied percentages, the following steps will be taken until a champion is determined.

Two Clubs

1. Head-to-head (best won-lost-tied percentage in games between the clubs).

2. Best won-lost-tied percentage in games played within the division.

3. Best won-lost-tied percentage in common games.

4. Best won-lost-tied percentage in games played within the conference.

5. Strength of victory.

6. Strength of schedule.

7. Best combined ranking among conference teams in points scored and points allowed.

8. Best combined ranking among all teams in points scored and points allowed.

9. Best net points in common games.

10. Best net points in all games.

11. Best net touchdowns in all games.

Three or More Clubs

(Note: If two clubs remain tied after third or other clubs are eliminated during any step, tie breaker reverts to step 1 of the two-club format).

1. Head-to-head (best won-lost-tied percentage in games among the clubs).

2. Best won-lost-tied percentage in games played within the division.

3. Best won-lost-tied percentage in common games.

4. Best won-lost-tied percentage in games played within the conference.

5. Strength of victory.

6. Strength of schedule.

7. Best combined ranking among conference teams in points scored and points allowed.

8. Best combined ranking among all teams in points scored and points allowed.

9. Best net points in common games.

10. Best net points in all games.

11. Best net touchdowns in all games.

TO BREAK A TIE FOR THE WILD-CARD TEAM

If it is necessary to break ties to determine the two Wild-Card clubs from each conference, the following steps will be taken.

1. If the tied clubs are from the same division, apply division tie breaker.

2. If the tied clubs are from different divisions, apply the following steps.

Two Clubs

1. Head-to-head, if applicable.

2. Best won-lost-tied percentage in games played within the conference.

3. Best won-lost-tied percentage in common games, minimum of four.

4. Strength of victory.

5. Strength of schedule.

6. Best combined ranking among conference teams in points scored and points allowed.

7. Best combined ranking among all teams in points scored and points allowed.

8. Best net points in conference games.

9. Best net points in all games.

10. Best net touchdowns in all games.

11. Coin toss.

Three or More Clubs

(Note: If two clubs remain tied after third or other clubs are eliminated, tie breaker reverts to step 1 of applicable two-club format.)

1. Apply division tie breaker to eliminate all but the highest ranked club in each division prior to proceeding to step 2. The original seeding within a division upon application of the division tie breaker remains the same for all subsequent applications of the procedure that are necessary to identify the three Wild-Card participants.

2. Head-to-head sweep. (Applicable only if one club has defeated each of the others or if one club has lost to each of the others.)

3. Best won-lost-tied percentage in games played within the conference.

4. Best won-lost-tied percentage in common games, minimum of four.

5. Strength of victory.

6. Strength of schedule.

7. Best combined ranking among conference teams in points scored and points allowed.

8. Best combined ranking among all teams in points scored and points allowed.

9. Best net points in conference games.

10. Best net points in all games.

11. Best net touchdowns in all games.

12. Coin toss.

When the first Wild-Card team has been identified, the procedure is repeated to name the second Wild-Card, i.e., eliminate all but the highest-ranked club in each division prior to proceeding to step 2, and repeated a third time, if necessary, to identify the third Wild Card. In situations where three or more teams from the same division are involved in the procedure, the original seeding of the teams remains the same for subsequent applications of the tie breaker if the top-ranked team in that division qualifies for a Wild-Card berth.

OTHER TIE-BREAKING PROCEDURES

1. Only one club advances to the playoffs in any tie-breaking step. Remaining tied clubs revert to the first step of the applicable division or Wild-Card tie breakers. As an example, if two clubs remain tied in any tie-breaker step after all other clubs have been eliminated, the procedure reverts to step one of the two-club format to determine the winner. When one club wins the tie breaker, all other clubs revert to step 1 of the applicable two-club or three-club format.

2. In comparing division and conference records or records against common opponents among tied teams, the best won-lost-tied percentage is the deciding factor since teams may have played an unequal number of games.

3. To determine home-field priority among division titlists, apply Wild-Card tie breakers.

4. To determine home-field priority for Wild-Card qualifiers, apply division tie breakers (if teams are from the same division) or Wild-Card tie breakers (if teams are from different ivisions).

TIE-BREAKING PROCEDURE FOR SELECTION MEETING

If two or more clubs are tied in the selection order, the strength-of-schedule tie breaker is applied, subject to the following exceptions for playoff clubs:

1. The Super Bowl winner is last and the Super Bowl loser next-to-last.

2. Any non-Super Bowl playoff club involved in a tie shall be assigned priority within its segment below that of non-playoff clubs and in the order that the playoff clubs exited from the playoffs. Thus, within a tied segment a playoff club that loses in the Wild-Card game will have priority over a playoff club that loses in the Divisional playoff game, which in turn will have priority over a club that loses in the Conference Championship game. If two tied clubs exited the playoffs in the same round, the tie is broken by strength of schedule.

If any ties cannot be broken by strength of schedule, the divisional or conference tie breakers, whichever are applicable, are applied. Any ties that still exist are broken by a coin flip.

How about them Cowboys, huh?

Hope they enjoyed the buttwhooping of the day... Cowboys - Eagles 6-44

[NYPAO13]

How about them Cowboys, huh?

Hope they enjoyed the buttwhooping of the day... Cowboys - Eagles 6-44

this loss was easier to take than the Giants loss of last year..

The Eagles are a live team this year, that as a 6th seed is very dangerous.

The NFC may be wide open this year again.

San Diego took the other playoff like game & did an eagles like job on the broncos

[rodoj]

Da Boys stunk it up vs the Beagles and I will repeat like a damn parrot that Coach Cupcake (Phillips) has to go. The team showed the lack of chemistry, preparation and execution that comes with a weak coach. The players like that he is easygoing but do not respect him as a head coach. He needs to accept that he is an excellent def. coordinator but nothing more. It is utter stupidity on the part of Jerry to keep him and only reenforces the point that he needs a puppet while he pulls the strings.

I've lost respect for Jerry as he put himself above the team.

And then there's Romo. Year and after year, it's the same thing. That choke in the big game and that sh__ass grin when he should be angry. His comments after the game did nothing to dispel the view that he cares little about wanting to improve and wants to lead the team w/o really backing it up. He missed open players, he threw INT, he fumbled the ball and basically, showed everyone that he is a stat padding QB but not a team leader. Big Ben, McNabb, Eli, and Flacco (for Christ-sakes a rookie!) all did what Romo could not do. He'll go crying to Jessica, play golf, be in the front pages of mags, wear those STUPID hats, and just showing us that smart-ass grin.

Man I'm pissed!
