Regardless of what we think of him, Haslett seems to be able to get into Romo's head. Not sure how the run game equalizes it, but it's one DC who loves and rises to the chess match here. And it's prime time so the Skins will be motivated. I expect the Cowboys to put their best effort forth.

Its because the past O-lines couldnt handle the blitz, he should be fine now

HIs blitzes are designed off of middle pressure and zone dogs. For a guy like Romo who loves pre-snap reads, it creates frustration because seldom do they declare pre-snap. That said, Romo is better at that now than he was 3-4 years ago.

This rivalry has been somewhat lopsided. They plan their lives around hatred of the Cowboys. The opposite just isn't true. That being said, let's bury them on Monday Night. Forget that division games are tough, blah, blah, blah. It's time we played a complete game. What better opponent to right the ship against? (Yes, this 6-1 team needs to right the ship).

Fortunately, I don't think thats going to happen with Romo. Linehan is gonna be calling the plays and will probably lean on the run. Romo is not going to need to sling it to win it for us.

I hate the Skins. Always have. Second least favorite team behind only the Eagles.

That said it's a division game.

It's rivalry.

It's going to be tougher than people want to make it out to be.

27-17 Dallas

i agree. it won't be as easy as their play so far has indicated. they will show up and play hard. they hate the cowboys and it's on monday night. the key is pound them early and often. get a nice lead and challenge their will to compete

I see us losing eventually, but not to the Skins. They might be the worst team in the league. I see us going into the bye at at least 8-2 (vs Skins in Dallas, vs Cards in Dallas, vs Jags in London, bye).

We got the Skins, Cardinals, and Jags, then a bye.

If we lose one, it is going to be to Arizona..........................and that's a big if, because we should be favored..............just saying if we do lose one, this is the one we probably lose.

Remember when that meant something. All the vitriol and trash talking throughout the week. It use to be the two biggest games in the regular season. No matter how bad one team was, they always had faith in their team to beat the hated rival. Alas those days appear to be no more.

for the most part the skins fans are defeated or at least cynical about their team. Let's hope we keep it that way. Let's go Cowboys...keep the winning streak alive!

Dam, most of them are predicting a Dallas blowout.......................I guess needing a FG to barely beat the CharlieWhithurst led Titans will such that enthusiasm right out of you.................LOL

I heard their offense this season was the Real McCoy. Can anybody confirm that? Because, if that's true, it's cool that they've finally found a QB worthy of the franchise.

That's what I was implying. No way we lose to the Skins or Jags. The Cards we be a tough matchup. We can win, but we can afford to lose.

That's because he loves to blitz and Tony has had problems with that in the past. We don't pass protect as well as I'd like yet but we'd better be thinking about it this week.

he is the guy who will blitz Romo on any situation,i dont think its going to work out that well this time .Dunbar could have a huge game if Linehan can call some dump offs because the skins dont play containment football well.

It's funny the rivalry has not been the same since both teams had very good O lines, funny how that works.
