I think this game will show if things are changing for this team

[Plumfool]

In recent years games with this much on the line, Dallas would fold at the opening kickoff. No spirit no fight nothing. If this team comes out ready to play despite its abundance of concerns, then there should be little doubt that at least the coaching culture has changed dramatically and that the direction for this team is on the upswing.

too many injuries on D'....this game won't be that close: we are simply undermanned IMO

Then again many fans threw in the towel vs Cinn and Pitt only to be wrong.

I don't. I think this is the same team I've seen over recent years, whether they win this next game or not. They've got the same issues they had three years ago.

I agree. The culture has changed but with the defense so many 2nd and 3rd stringers because of injuries I feel it's going to be too much to overcome. The redskins are healthy and playing good team ball. They have a running game and our injuries on D are to our best run stoppers.

I'm not saying we have no chance but the odds are long in my opinion. If I were a betting man i'd take the skins without thinking twice.

Cinn is the only good win to talk about to be honest. Pitt had fallen apart before they even played us. They let a team as pathetic as the Chargers come in their house and completely dominate them. So while it was nice to beat a team that has had discipline over the last 10 years (something our team dreams of), they weren't really a good team if we are being honest with ourselves.

The Cinn game came more down to them beating themselves because of their WR's dropping balls left and right. None the less it was still a great win. We found a way to get it done against them.

Then we let a crappy below .500 NO team come in our house and beat us.

With that said, there are zero reasons our team can't beat the Redskins. Their Oline is just as bad as ours and their defense is just as bad. Romo threw for over 400 yards against them last time. So this will be the game where we see if this team has turned the corner or if they are going to revert back into the same weak minded, weak coached, team that we have been used to over the years. I seriously have my doubts. Heck we already have all the excuses baked in, "Our defense sucks", "our Oline sucks", "our receivers ran the wrong routes", our receivers dropped the balls", etc.

I want to agree with you but I can't. One thing I can see is this team is not quitting at all anymore. They may lack the talent right now but they are fighting with everything they have lately and that is something I haven't seen in forever.
It may just be a brief aberration, but it's certainly here right now.

Ok, Pitt is wonderful. You're right.

So the Pittsburgh team we beat sucked...but the Saints team that beat us sucked as well? Do you work for the DFW media?

I did not say they were I said you wrote Dallas off in the game and now that Dallas wins the game well Pitt was nothing anyways. What a fricken joke.

[Plumfool]

Didn't say win I said ready to play, and have fight. Past teams in this position against a sound opponent have folded.

Funny isn't it? Spends all week slamming the Cowboys talking trash of how we can't win and then when the Cowboys do well that team was not good anyways.

[Oh_Canada]

The culture has changed and they will fight.

Just not sure if they can stop the Skins with the middle of that defense so decimated.
