Tony Romo out for at least Sunday. Now the Cowboys actually have a chance.
Right. Because Romo is their problem, and not their defense.

Not like the NFL could screw that upOne day I want to see a team make it into the playoffs because of that last tie-breaker....coin flip.
I'm not going to complain if they get in, but I'm curious what the tie breakers are that would put the Steelers in over all the other 8-8 teams. Does anyone know that? I looked around but didn't see it anywhere. They lost to Miami, and are 1-1 against Baltimore. I'm only guessing here but from what I can tell, Pittsburgh gets in over Baltimore because Steelers would be 4-2 while Baltimore at 3-3. They win over San Diego because of record vs common opponents, or conference record. Either way. The one I can't figure out is how they beat Miami. Miami beat Pittsburgh and they have a better record in conference.
Edit: Figured it out. Jets would jump Miami based on division record. And Pittsburgh beat the Jets. Crazy.
Good summary here too: AFC playoff summary

Ummmm... Couldn't they just give whatever team the last team in would play a bye because nobody there really has a outstanding case to make the playoffs?? Shuts off the *****ing from the other teams there who could have gotten in.Miami Dolphins (8-7) would clinch with:
• A win plus either a loss by Baltimore or win by San Diego.
• A tie plus losses by Baltimore and San Diego.
Not one of the quartet in the hunt fully controls its own destiny — a bizarre twist added by the NFL’s tiebreaker scenarios. Miami currently holds the edge on Baltimore because San Diego, a winner Sunday, created a three-team tie at 8-7. In that scenario, the Ravens’ win over Miami is canceled out by Miami’s win over San Diego, pushing the conference-record tiebreaker to the forefront. The Dolphins hold that edge on both the Ravens and Chargers.
Baltimore Ravens (8-7) would clinch with:
• A win plus a loss by either Miami or San Diego.
• A loss plus losses by Miami, San Diego and Pittsburgh.
That aforementioned three-team tiebreaker? Baltimore needs to break it in Week 17 to pull back into the No. 6 seed. The Ravens have to do that by winning, first of all, and then getting the Dolphins or Chargers to trip up. Head-to-head, Baltimore would hold the tiebreaker edge on either of those teams. In a three-team jumble where all three teams have the same record, the Ravens would miss out.
San Diego Chargers (8-7) would clinch with:
• A win or tie plus losses by Miami and Baltimore.
The Chargers are third in the pecking order. They would lose the head-to-head tiebreaker with Miami, the conference-record tiebreaker with Baltimore and would be No. 3 in the three-team tiebreaker. So, the Chargers’ only hope is to get to 9-7 and hope for help.
Pittsburgh Steelers (7-8) would clinch with:
• A win plus losses by Baltimore, Miami (vs. NY Jets) and San Diego.
