Lose 2 And Still Win The All Ireland

Replying To realdub:  "It certainly takes a bit of pressure of the Dubs tonight, with Roscommon in Croker to come. Tyrone on the other hand will have to go to Ballybofey looking for points if they lose, and I wouldn't fancy that too much."
I think a draw would see Tyrone through. The Dublin - Roscommon game is now a joke which is likely to be played in an empty stadium.

Yes, Dubs v Rosc is a dead rubber, while fortunately, Done v Tyr is winner-takes-all.

It would be better if the Super 8 was a double-chance KO, with winner of the winners Dubs going to SFs and loser of the losers Rosc going home.
Done v Tyr is effectively a KO QF.
