That tells me you're the one dragging our average down.

It feels really weird to be inspired by videos about the Cowboys. I just don't know what to say...

Any manager that thinks only their determination is valid is a micromanager. Garrett was an OC before but his game plans and play calling were not right for this team. Since he couldn't see that for himself someone else helped him relinquish that responsibility. I can't speak for every other circumstance in the league but it was obvious with Dallas. He was smart to accept that decision.

Chan Gailey refused to give up play calling and got fired, so it was definitely smart to accept what Jerry wanted.

Yea. If we only needed 1 of the teams to lose for us to get the 1st seed, I would've been ok with going all out against the skins. I think rest will benefit some of our starters.

I'm not sure what to say. I'm as far into homer as I have been in a very long time. It's just surreal. We didn't back our way into the playoffs. We went into that game and flatout punched them in the mouth. Over and over again. And they stood there and took it because they were scared to death of us. You could see it in their demeanor. For the first time in a very long time we stepped on their throats and then jumped. In December. With the playoffs and division on the line. We swung first and beat them Mike Tyson style. Such a good day to be a Cowboys fan. It's been a long time coming.
Holy fuck why did I watch those videos. #finishthefight

Because there would be a 3-way tie, and at that point H2H is out and it goes to conference record, which we have the worst of the 3 that would tie right now.

Taking the Cowboys out of the equation in my opinion the tie breaker should be opponents win percentage. The team with the tougher schedule in my opinion should get the higher seed. No idea if that would have any impact on the playoffs at all but I think that makes for a more logical tie breaker. I don't really understand the logic of punishing a team for having success against the AFC as opposed to the NFC. Although I'm sure it's based on the assumption that if you can beat teams in your own conference you have a better shot in the playoffs against your conference teams.
Not that it really matters, I'm thrilled to win the NFC East and as we have seen, teams off a bye have not done so hot in the NFL. There is something to be said for routine and going out and playing in that first round.

Strength of schedule is a factor. It just comes after conference record in tie-breaking procedure.

I'm not buying all the talk that the Colts were scared of us. It was a great win and we played great to get that result. But we also played a team with little to play for without their 2 best playmakers this season.
I'm not sure Hilton would have made a huge difference considering how well the offense played against their D, but his absense was very noticable in how well their offense functioned and how comfortable Luck is.

I just don't think you can rest the players under the circumstances. I get that the odds of the Cardinals and Seahawks losing seems like a long shot but it isn't that crazy. Seattle has lost to the Rams once already this season. The Cardinals have some of the worst QB play I've ever seen and I could see the 49ers at least making that game interesting.
Besides just the chance of getting the number 2 seed, I just hate to risk throwing out guys out of rhythm. Romo and our receivers look unstoppable right now and I'm not sure taking a week off will be beneficial for that. I'd at least start the regulars and see how the first half of the game goes.
Now a borderline guy like Doug Free I sit no matter what.
