We seem to be be improving at least incrementally as a team. We are going to screw up and win at least 1 more, imo. This isn’t the kind of positive thinking we need here, so simmer down and quit being a Richard 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nextyearfordaboyz Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 Jaguars remaining opponents have a combined record of 41-21. Cowboys remaining opponents have a combined record of 23-39-2. We’re going to need some really big contributions from Jaylon if we expect to pick before the Jaguars. However, on the bright side, that does bode really well for us on the SOS tiebreakers. Of any team in the bottom half of the league, only WFT has a real chance to have a worse SOS. We are likely to have the best pick of any team with whatever our record ends up.

WizardHawk Posted November 16, 2020 Author Share Posted November 16, 2020 Is it bad to hope for a couple of minor, nagging type injuries? Like a hammy for Coop, Gallimore, Dalton, Pollard, Martin...? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like a hammy for Coop, Gallimore, Dalton, Pollard, Martin...? I would say, of every player on our roster, Neville Gallimore is probably the one I most want to avoid a nagging injury. The 2021 DT class is not good. We really need to know if NG can be the guy next year, or if we need to dump significant free agent resources into at 3T. Also, I think he will probably improve with experience by more than just about anyone else on the team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

plan9misfit Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 (edited) Now that the charges against DeAndre Baker have been dropped because the plaintiff’s lawyer was just arrested for extortion, I’d sign him. He’d come on a modest deal, was a great talent at Georgia and a 1st round pick in 2019. Do. It.

This is terrifying, we might still be in it for the division. Not sure if you are asking about SOS tiebreaker for draft spot or division tiebreaker for making the playoffs. The latter has way too many permutations to answer, but here is the information on the former: 12 games are the same for the NFC East team, so in the event that they have equal final records (another 2 games that equal each other), the SOS then comes down to the 2 inter-division NFC games that are different: Dallas Atlanta & Minnesota Current combined record: 6-11 Washington Detroit & Carolina Current combined record: 7-12 NYG Chicago & Tampa Bay Current combined record: 12-7 Philly Green Bay & New Orleans Current combined record: 14-4 So, Washington is the only really threat to jump us from an SOS standpoint. And no other bad team in the NFL is even close to having the poor SOS we do. And yes, we are still in it for the division. Which is honestly terrifying and really not a good scenario for the Cowboys.
