It's the Musers, the podcast, Cowboys Edition.

George Dunham, Bob Stern, and we are football friends through thick and thin, through good

times and bad, through wins and losses.

And what a loss for the Cowboys this past Sunday night in Arlington. Vikings 34, Cowboys 26.

Dallas drops to 6, 7, and 1 with three games left.

It's over as far as the playoffs go.

Yes, they're still mathematically in there, but the Eagles are... they've got their own drama to deal with.

And it showed you how bad the Raiders are with what they did to the Raiders.

But the playoffs are gone.

There is no hope for that.

But, wait, Bob, do you hear that?

What is that?

I hear sleigh bells.

I do too.

And I've heard that if you hear sleigh bells, that means there's still a chance for the postseason.

So don't give up on it yet.

If the Cowboys went out and the Eagles lose out, why that would put the Cowboys in the playoffs, Bob?

It would. It would. Boy, what a beautiful Christmas miracle that would be, Georgie.

Yeah, but that's what it's going to take. This season, for all practical purposes, is over.

We'll talk about what they're still playing for. I still think there is some significance to these last three games.

For what we've been talking about the last month when this, you know, it started to look doubtful that they were a playoff team.

Yeah.
