How about we just win our own games and don’t leave our fate in the hands and depending on the outcomes of hostile enemies (see: U.S. Men’s National Soccer Team)?

Wanting to win every game goes without saying but that's not very common or likely

When you look at it we’re most likely playing for a wild card so Dallas losing actually helps us as they won’t be winning heir division and we are competing with them and the Falcons for a wildcard. Dallas was only a 1/2 game behind us. 

I'm not sold on us just going wild card, I think it's the most likely scenario, but the saints can be had if/when the injury bug gets em.  Their o-line is playing insane, but that position gets dinged up the most.  Also brees could get hurt and or revert to the interception machine he can turn into from time to time.

Atlanta has the worst bandwagon fans

As a resident of Atlanta. I fuging know it. And these sorry red and black wearing pieces of poo keep telling me that I've lived here too long to still be a Panthers fan and I need to convert to a Falcons/Bulldogs fan. I pull for Auburn in college just to spite these motherfugers. Man fug them.

A half game out if we win tomorrow?  We are playing for the division.  I am not sure why some think the division race is over simply because the Saints blew out someone today.  We were further behind at this point in 2013/2014 seasons, and still won it.  

The main thing to remember is New Orleans also has the tie breaker right now and will likely sweep us. They blew us out at home, we still have to go play them in that dome which is harder to win in.

all the cowboys fans at the game saw the writing on the wall and wanted to beat the traffic

Other than the Saints, the Falcons are the only other team in the NFCS that controls their own destiny.  They play us once and the Saints twice.  They can win the division by winning out.  We, on the other hand, have to win out and rely on NO to lose another game.  

That week 17 showdown with the Falcons might be huge.

The cowboys were pretenders,... their other running backs were not bad, they are just falling apart.

The stadium looked stunningly empty from all of the crowd shots. I estimate it was only at 28.3% capacity.

Concessions are cheap but ticket prices went way up... too high for the mostly fairweather, frontrunning fanbase.

IMO, its way to early in the season to start thinking like that.  If we win tonight, we are a half game out.  Can't lose next week, and the Jets is a winnable game for us, while the Saints play Washington (whom they should beat) and the Rams.  The Rams will be a very interesting contest, and could go either way.  We could easily go into our game with them tied for first.  Yes, its tough to win in the dome this year, but not because its a tough place to play.  Its tough because the Saints are a good team. 

 

We have lost three games this year.  In those three losses, we have thrown 8 interceptions.  Three against NO, three against Philly, and two against the bears.   Two games at home and one on the road.  We won at NE (just as tough if not tougher than New Orleans) and at Detroit.  In those games 1 interception combined.   If we can go into New Orleans, and avoid turnovers, we have a very good chance of winning, regardless of where the game is played.

Especially considering who they were playing.  I would have thought there would be at least 20 thousand or so Cowboy fans there.

A girl i work with was trying to get her Dallas fan mom tickets for her birthday and the prices for ATL were insane.  They sent her to Dallas last week for cheaper than what it would have cost them to send her to the ATL game.

Looking at the online ticket vendors, tickets for the Tampa game are 120 for nosebleed seats.  I guess they charge so much for vip seating, that they don't really care if the stadium is anywhere close to full.
