I don't think the Cowboys at the #5 spot is a bad thing.
It's like a guaranteed win in the 1st round.
The problem is the Cowboys will need to beat the Niners in the Eagles to advance to the Super Bowl.
For me, I think it's a successful season if the Cowboys reach the NFC title game.
The Super Bowl is a long shot IMO.

Re: Game #11. Washington & Thanksgiving.
O Line is playing very well right now.  Even Biadasz. Gives me some hope going into this next part of the schedule.

Re: Game #11. Washington & Thanksgiving.
We just don't match up well with SF. It's because they dump the ball off immediately, Purdy doesn't sit in the pocket. We get 0 sacks and that's what defense thrives on, QB pressure. 
Then of course on top of that they have an elite defense which limits our point total.
It's just a rough matchup for us

I heard yesterday that the Cowboys will likely face the winning of the NFC South in the 1st round of the playoffs. If the season ended today I believe that’s the Falcons.

The starting unit has finally had 3 games together. Also Tyron Smith has been by far the best OL during that span.

Yeah, not a bad deal if your 1st playoff game is against the Falcons.

Re: Game #11. Washington & Thanksgiving.
The 49ers have lost to the Bengals, Vikings, and Browns.
It is possible that the Eagles get the BYE, and then the 49ers lose in round 1 to a team that happens to match up with them better than we do.
Then I give us 50/50 to beat Philly. We are pretty much equal to that team.

Not to mention that the Lions will likely host the Niners. If Dallas makes it to round 2 they will likely face the Eagles.

I'm not sure we can get by the divisional round. All playoff games on the road and I still think the Niners will get the #2 seed. Hopefully I'm wrong however.
