so you think both teams will make the playoffs and week 17 will just determine the division winner?You dudes...Yeah, son just skipped that.
It was skipped on the premises that two NFC East teams make the playoffs this year being a possibility. If that is the case, just like in 2009, the Eagles and Cowboys play for the division week 17 only to meet each other again in the wild card. This did not happen in 2008. This only happened in 2009. Hence why 2008 was skipped. In 2008 we did not meet the Eagles a week later. In 2009 we did.
To summarize the above, 2008 was not mentioned because both teams did not make the playoffs regardless of what happened in week 17 whereas in 2009, we did.
in 2008, whoever won the cowboys vs eagles game went on to the playoffs (cowboys were 9-6 and the eagles were 8-6-1).. whoever lost went home
their is still a possibility that the NFC east can get 2 teams into the playoffs.. however, i think only the division winner will be going to the playoffs
