Nothing is a "gimme" with our Cowboys!! You guys should know better than anyone!!
Now ain't that the truth. It's time to get rid of the "Cowboys are an accident waiting to happen" narrative and the "What can go wrong, will go wrong"

There's no fair weather fans here......we return every year despite the lack of meaningful success.

Bet your house then
This.
If there is ever a truly 0% chance (or 100% the other way) what person would not make 100s of thousands or even millions of dollars on the guaranteed outcome?

Why? because there is no such thing in sports

This one is a gimme ladies and gents. Dallas is about to run over Washington and this game could very well get ugly. We’re about to make some noise to get ready for playoff football and what better way than to toy with a much inferior Commanders unit! 12-5 here we come!
Dallas is a good bet.

58 yards per game.
Less than 15 yards per quarter.

People need to let this outdated metric go.

This is the one and only Commaders playoff game . They will be jacked , On the flip side if you can’t beat the worst team in the division with a home playoff game staring you in the face then the playoffs look short . Dallas should roll 37-10

Hope is not a tactic...When we played Ariz earlier this year with a depleted offensive line did you think we would lose that game? I didn't and never crossed my mind. There is no game in this league that you can simply "mail it in". Those days are over. We are going to have to bring it for 60 minutes.
I actually thought there was a REALLY good chance AZ would beat us. I focused on the way they were playing instead of the their W-L record and the final scores. Same with the Eagles. The Eagles have not played well all season (with few exceptions) and caught a lot of lucky breaks in most of their close games. It was only a matter of time that the law of averages caught up to them.

And everyone thought the Eagles were going to whip the Cardinals. Well, I didn't. But many did.

Not taking this game lightly. But I am looking forward to this game.

We are exponentially better than the Eagles in every aspect outside of running the ball at this point ….

While the offense has had its issues, the defense is really what has let the Commanders down. Seemingly every week saw the defense getting burned, repeatedly asking the inexperienced Howell to go win a shootout. Things got so bad that Rivera actually fired Del Rio following a 45-10 loss to the Cowboys on Thanksgiving. Rivera opted to start calling plays himself, perhaps inspired by the success that Mike McCarthy has been enjoying this season.

Make that one of many differences between McCarthy and Rivera, because this defense is still a problem. Rivera’s first game calling defensive plays saw the team once again give up 45 points, this time to the Dolphins. The Commanders have surrendered at least 27 points in all four games that Rivera has called plays, and they’re fittingly 27th in EPA/play over that span. For the season, they’re 31st in both EPA/play and defensive DVOA.

The switch from Del Rio to Rivera didn’t really usher in any changes in defensive philosophy, though, as the two coaches come from the same schematic background. At its core, this is a very traditional 4-3 defense that runs their base personnel at one of the higher rates in the league

Dude, you better wake up because I could have sworn, I read the same post last year and we all know what happen to the Boys when Washington got done with them. There are NO gimmes in the NFL, none, zip, zero!!!!!!!!!!! The playoffs start this tomorrow and we're the road team..........

Division rival, throw out the proverbial records

Do you accept or defer the KO? Get on top early, could be 35-10 type game
