After this past weekend I was kind of wondering, exactly what are the chances that the Cowboys will make it to the playoffs.</p> <p>So I decided to write a program that simulates the remaining games in this season's schedule and then determine which teams would make the playoffs in those situations.</p> <p>I ran the simulation several thousand times and then calculated, for each team, the percentage of times they win the division or get a wild card seed. So the results of the simulation are below. Perhaps I will run it again after the Thanksgiving games are complete to see exactly how our chances have changed (hopefully increased).</p> <p>I hope you all enjoy this bit of information, I thought it was very interesting.</p> <h2>Playoff Chances</h2> <p><i>AFC EAST</i></p> <p style="padding-left: 30px;">Bills<br />Overall chance to make the playoffs&nbsp;

I have heard some people say that Nick Folk can also punt. Does anyone know anything about this? Is he any good as a punter or would we be better off signing a new one?</p> <p>Secondly, is Tashard Choice going to have a legitimate role in our offense now? Or will we just rely more heavily on Marion Barber to support our run game AND a large amount of check down passes from Brad Johnson? Can Barber handle an even bigger role than he has now?</p> <p>Thirdly, is Tony Romo's pinky really going to keep him out for over four weeks? I feel like if Brett Favre broke his pinky he would be playing the next week. Are there any chances that he could only miss two games and be back in time for the big crucial division game at the Giants?</p> <p>And finally, can the coaching staff recover from this three week funk they are in? Will this situation we are in finally get our players motivated?</p> <p>I would love to hear all your opinions on these issues.</p> It gets worse... Another injury http://www.bloggingtheboys.com/2008/10/13/634173/it-gets-worse-another-inju ender0887 Mon, 13 Oct 2008 18:43:31 -0000 <p>According to Mickey Spagnola, the injuries just keep on coming:</p> <p>Cowboys rookie running back Felix Jones is getting an MRI on the strained hamstring he suffered in the 30-24 loss to the Arizona Cardinals, but from preliminary indications he will be out at least two weeks.</p> <p>I cannot imagine what the offense will be like without Tony Romo and Felix Jones.</p> <p>Not to mention what our defense will be like with a possible suspension to Adam Jones.</p> <p>What a sad day to be a Cowboys fan.</p>
