I hope so! My fiancee bought me two tickets in the dream seats section above the Dallas Bench for my birthday. It will be the first game that I've been too for the cowboys!
Let's Go Boys!

We are building something of worth!

If the season finale in DC has a playoff birth on the line for either the Cowboys or Washington the Cowboys will lose.

I'll play along...

If the Cowboys somehow get to 8 wins before the finale, that game against Washington could very well be for the division.

As for the matchup head-to-head, I have to favor the skins based on how they were able to run the ball and we were not...

If the Cowboys play the second half first, then play the first half second, the Cowboys might have a chance!

I suppose the Redskins are now some quality team. Unreal.

That's a crap team we lost to yesterday. If you want to win the rematch, don't play bad. That game is as winnable as any you'll find on your schedule any year.

I think it is quite possible though not necessarily realistic, but you never know.

How's that for fence straddling?

Probably the saddest truth about yesterday.

The Cowboys absolutely have a chance to not just win, but destroy the Skins the next time they play. But they must do TWO things:

1) Cowboys must go to the no-huddle earlier in the game. Even with their putrid OL and lack of running game, the offense is explosive when Romo is allowed to play up tempo.

2) Cowboys D must obliterate the QB on the dive option. Each and every time the QB runs the option, the OLB/DE/S (anyone responsible for setting the edge on that side) must punish RG3, and punish him good. Ware (and Spencer on occasion) attacked the dive way too early and gave RG3 the edge. That cannot happen, they must play more disciplined and trust their teammates in the middle to take care of the dive. Ware had so many opportunities to annihilate RG3 but always made the wrong read (went after RB, except that one time he planted him like a stalk of corn). Spencer & Hatcher were more successful because they were much more disciplined.
"Our guys are gonna be good, and we know it. So that ain't talkin'. That's just the (bleepin') way it is."

I fully expect this team to have quit on Mr. 1st and 10 QB sneak by that point in the season.

They will be making vacation plans and trying not to get hurt.

If I had to bet on it, I'd say no.

It's downright depressing.

I've seen people give the Redskins way too much credit. That's a bad team. They're going to be challenged putting a core of players around Griffin with the lack of picks and their cap issues. I have no problem giving a rival credit. The Giants are the champs. I've feared the Eagles previous years. I do not see anything resembling a future contender in Washington.

So to ask me can we win that game, as if we're over matched, is just a little much for me.

Your guess is as good as mine. Not only are the Cowboys completely hit or miss but that's the season finale. There's no telling what the state of mind will be for either team.

Depends on the weather. If it is cold and or real windy, no. Good weather and we can win.
