A top 4 pick could be incredibly valuable if anybody is in love with those top 2 QBs,,, including us.

Better than some here.

Plus I got other tales for the whippersnappers...

Whatever you do, don't forget to tell them how the 2015 Dallas Cowboys rose up and beat the evil Commanders that already qualified for the playoffs.

In fact, you might just want to call them the "Washington team" so you do not expose your grandchildren to such ridiculous racism.

What a sad reflection of this fan base. Hoping for a loss and even worse, its against the Skins. Pitiful. No wonder we don't have a home field crowd worth a crap.

And you can tell 'em that you rooted for the 'Skins against your team, 'cause it was better for the metagame. NO disagreement that it is better for the metagame. But the high dudgeon of some folks would be hilarious. Despite still being in striking range for a player who is adjudged 'best at' his position.

Metagame? Adjudged?

Leotis?

Do not (I repeat) do not go out on Sunday and make any attempts to beat the Skins. The ability to trade down for value from a top 3 pick is so much more appealing than #7 or 8... We should be resting anyone of value that does not require further evaluation. Guys like Showers should be dressed and ready to take a half of football. This should be treated very much like a preseason game. What do we have to gain here against the Skins? ZILCH!

We already beat the Skins this year when it mattered. Winning this game would suck and I have no doubt Jerry would throw up a little in his throat if, at the final bell, the Cowboys are ahead of the Skins. I would even venture to say some of you will too. Let the backups battle it out for early slotting next year. This isn't tanking 101 here... This is one game with one outcome that has already been determined.

For once coaches, go with a winning strategy.

You're cruising for a ban with this blasphemy

You have players playing for a job next season on our side and unproven players wanting to prove themselves in hopes of more playing time come playoffs. I seriously doubt anyone mails it in. I expect a 9-6 type of outcome.

I don't get the loser mentality stuff. We have lost 11 games this year when we were supposed to be trying to win. Treating this as a chance to learn what the young guys on the roster can do isn't any different than what the Commanders are doing which is holding out players so they are ready for the playoffs. It's not like we mailed it in 6 games ago to manipulate the draft order. Not that if we had that you could have told the difference :)

Nah, we are going to go all out against the Skin's scrub backups since they are sitting everybody and their momma.

Then when we win, we will all talk about what a great victory it was and Garrett might even cry in the postgame presser because he is so proud of this team.

The Commanders are going to mail it in also.

Dunno about that. Just won the division, confidence at an all time high and probably don't want to be swept by a rival. While I don't expect them to go 110%, I think they will definitely try to win Sunday
