If they beat us, they hold the tiebreaker.

If we beat them, well, there won't be a tie.

Next week would be our fourth division win, but Dallas already has three. If they were to beat us, they would have four.

They would win the tiebreaker on common opponents.

You sure about common opponents?
Edit: damn thats close your rite though. Bengals.

Naaa, Dallas needs to lose 2 for it to be pointless.

No team that wins 5 in a row wins them because of one side of the ball. The defense compliments our offense being that they are really opportunistic.

Just in recent years the Patriots and Packers have won with just offense, even more dramatically than we have.

Not that I like that, I'd prefer being more balanced. Also, I agree that I'd take turnovers and a middle of the road defense, but currently we're middle of the road in turnovers (around 12th), and a high "bottom third" in overall defense.

A game Cinci blew.

I like our chances against Dallas though.

LOL. Good jinx. Hope it works.

Maybe Shanahan needs to say he's still evaluating the defense....:FIREdevil

And the Saints and Colts.

Instead of hoping for this or that, let's just try to win out. Then we won't have to worry about Dallas/NY losing or anything.

So you are rooting for Pittsburgh?
Edit: after twenty years of pain im not ashamed that i want or need help to make this happen. Lol. Of course i hope we win out but resting our starters in week 17 is fine with me.

Kyle Shanahan is a magician.

[CultBrennan59]

First, lets give a round of applause to the Shanahans. What a turn around, and they've finally improved their record here after going (5-11, 4-12 )


Second, what a win. This in my opinion was probably the biggest win of the season, due to the circumstances, especially after not having our starting QB and the Giants losing.

Third, What a draft. Cousins, was great insurance. I didn't like the move based on what other needs we have, but today, that pick was worth it, and in a few years when we trade Kirk, he'll get us some value. Hell, maybe a team like the Jets with Revis or the Chiefs with Eric Berry would be in trade discussions; but thats a long long ways away.
