Crawford 1,725 Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 Cowboys coming off a big win over the Bucs, which sealed for them the NFC East title. The hated Giants coming off a meaningless loss from the Colts. This last game of the regular season has no bearing on either teams position as things stand. Thoughts?

cotton84 347 Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 Will be one UGLY game........And probably a Giants win......something like 20 - 10, with very few starters getting snaps This coming from a Cowboys fan. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

EnjoyLife 711 Posted December 25, 2018 Share Posted December 25, 2018 Im not sure what the best way to approach this game is. Conventional wisdom is to rest your starters and not risk injury...but if the Cowboys lose this one they will go into the playoffs having dropped 2 of their last 3. I would rather see them go in on a winning streak. If I was Garrett think I would be all in on winning this one and take my chances on injuries. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

If the Cowboys had a bye week the first week of the playoffs, I would 100% agree. But Smith and Martin on the offensive line need a week off. Elliott doesn’t need too many touches(he has had a bunch this year). If Dak plays, no read options and he must be told to hit the ground instead of busting tackles. The young linebackers play extremely hard - they need to play no more than half the snaps. Link to post Share on other sites

While I would rather see a 10-6 record, I don't see us progressing very far in the playoffs. Since we don't have a first round draft choice this draft is only going to be low. I say play the starters for a half, and then sit them. Link to post Share on other sites

I agree Zeke has the rushing title, unless Gurley rushes for 200+ yards. He's got that in the bag even if he just plays a quarter. Link to post Share on other sites
ETXfan16 869 Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 The Cowboys are light years better than the Giants, but this is a game they don't really need to win although a win going in to the playoffs would be nice. I think the Cowboys coast and lose 20-17. As long as everyone stays healthy! Link to post Share on other sites
Doomer 351 Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 I'm not sure the Gnats wanna win now. Prolly want the highest draft pick possible. Link to post Share on other sites
ClawNAntler 204 Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 not sure the best way to approach this one. you can say we are going to treat it like a meaningful game but the players know it has no meaning and their heart is not in it. love having the division wrapped up but would rather be scratching and clawing to get a playoff spot and go in on a roll. I'd say just try to get through it healthy. Seattle is going to be a handful but at least Dallas is at home. that will help some Link to post Share on other sites

A win or a loss by the Vikings will lock Seahawks in at No. 5. But a loss, combined with a Vikings victory, would put the Seahawks at #No. 6. Cowboys would then be playing Minnesota instead.

I would prefer Minn 1 Link to post Share on other sites
ClawNAntler 204 Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 Here’s another scenario. Seattle and Minn lose and Philly wins. Minn is out and Philly is in. Philly and Seattle will have the same record. Who wins the tie breaker? Link to post Share on other sites
