The big difference in the game will be having a healthy Demarco Murray.

We're 6-0 since the BYE and I see no real reason why the streak ends at Week 17....a LOUD Fed Ex Field....division title on the line.....to sweep the arch rival and send them home. Rg3 is prepared for another shootout VS the Cowboys because I totally expect both offenses to compensate for their spotty defenses with a FG winning a close game.
34 Skins
31 Boys
Joe Rod;4923874 said:I would agree with the defense. They started a streak of "bad" from that point forward and now at least the offense knows they have to put up points to win. I really think the key is Romo and Murray not giving the ball to the Commanders though. Romo threw two picks in that first game and Murray's fumble crushed us against the Saints. The Commanders D should be at just as big a disadvantage this time around in my opinion. Barring lopsided turnover margin, it is probably a game where the last team with the balls wins.

Romo to Dwayne Harris for the go-ahead score.

If this were the 90s Cowboys and fans picked the Commanders, I could see the disappointment.
But this team was beaten by the Skins earlier.
We're playing in DC meaning no home field advantage.
We are beaten up on defense with a less than 100 percent Ware.
Sean Lee is out.
The safeties got abused by the Skins last time.
Dez has a finger injury.
Our record of SNF hasn't been very good the past few years.
Our win-and-in record is 0-2 over the past four years.
Not saying we can't win, but I can see why other posters believe we're going to lose.
JonJon;4924048 said:Not at all. If you know my history, then you'd know I am not a blind homer. But what is disappointing is the lack of faith in the team right now, especially knowing how we have played the last few weeks. Yes we lost to the Saints, but it was still a highly contested game that we could have won, against a high scoring offense that needed help from Cowboy mistakes.
I really believe that even with all the injuries on defense that the Cowboys are playing its best team ball all year. We won 3 out of the last 4 during a stretch where many here said we would be lucky to win 1 or 2.
The Cowboys missed a lot of players on offense during the first matchup, yet the Cowboys were still able to put 31 points on a Washington defense that isn't that good against the pass. Murray didn't play at all, Austin was hurt early, and the offensive line was in shambles. It will be a different game than the first time around.
tyke1doe;4924053 said:Fair enough.
Thanks for the explanation.
For what it's worth, I really think the Cowboys and Tony Romo are going to win this game.
I just have that feeling. Hopefully, that feeling isn't being produced by that leftover Christmas dinner I just finished eating. :laugh2:

Sunday afternoon is going to be torture. I think I'm gonna have to find things to do to pass the time or else I'll go stir crazy.

But, it will be worth it when the Boys walk off the field smiling and high fiving having just won the NFC East! :starspin :starspin :starspin
