Can Dallas Beat Washington Without Ware

I just don't see the pass rush coming from anywhere else often enough to make much difference in terms of getting RGIII off the field.

Not saying this is hopeless, although previous "win and get in" situations have just blown. Historic collapses.

But I also can't say this meeting looks good either.

we have been doing well up until now with Ware being far less than 100% so hopefully this continues tomorrow night...

It really is.

I can't believe how many national media and Dallas fans think we have no chance.

And I find it funny how often they cite that 44-6 game.

Let some posters tell it, we haven't had Ware all year even early on when he was healthy. So what the hell? The Cowboys have to win this game. Everybody needs to step up for four quarters. I like our chances and see no reason to be persistently negative before the game even starts.

To be brutally pragmatic he will have no impact on the game in all likelihood in his current condition

That's what I was thinking. He hasn't been his regular self over the past few weeks. In fact, he's been inconsequential. Better to have a fully healthy player in there, than a banged up 20% D Ware.

We haven't really had Ware most of the season. Other players are going to have to step up and actually get pressure.

[TX Cowboy]

The answer is NO everyone else out there is not at the level of a Ware or
Spencer and wouldn't stand a chance against RG 3

What little Ware has done this season, its like hes not there anyways. So yes.

Sure. You can plug just about any guy into the lineup and generate 11.5 sacks and 5 FF.

but is 20% ware > 100% butler?
might be close.

He will probably stay within the scheme and not free lance given his injuries which might be a benefit against the zone read.

ignoring the reality of injuries is just plain dumb

[cowboyschmps3]

Yes, rg3 is not who we should be worried about, stop the damn running game

yea, wouldn't you like to be hunkered down in a bunker with some of them...just knowing they have your back? Good Lord..........I'm really looking forward to this game myself, and expect a victory in their yard.

This is how see it.

Ware will have to play more disciplined which is something he has not done well all season. He has relied on talent alone for too long; athletic plays he used to make on a regular basis are few and far between these days. Playing with an injury will hopefully force him to play within his limitations and therefore play soundly if not spectacularly.

The key to a win, however, is how well Crawford, Lissemore, Hatcher, Spears, Sims, Conner, Albright, and Peprah play. They have to be better than average for Dallas to have a chance.

You mean...if there were real bullets firing instead of accusatory message board posts? Yeah, I don't think I'm going in that particular bunker.

That said, there are some really good negatively-inclined posters here at CZ. Most of those guys express their legitimate concerns and then move on to other arguments.

That's very different from the "we can't possibly win because I hate Jerry Jones and I want to make sure everybody else knows how unhappy I am about it" sort of post. That mentality, I just don't understand.
