Do not go out on Sunday and make any attempts to beat the Skins

[8FOR!3]

I can't believe I convinced my mother and grandmother to get us tickets to go to this game haha. I'm still very excited to go and I'll cheer us on against our biggest rival of all time, pumped to see us play them.

Garrett will have cookies and ice cream waiting for everybody in the locker room as he hands out participation trophies for the season.

It is going to be EPIC!!!!

Have you checked out the new forum?

 

[Doomsay]

Dictionary.

coherence?

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.

Dude. Both teams are going to be trying their mightiest to lose this game. Washington will want to stick it to us for a lower draft pick plus they have nothing to play for. The NFCE is sewn up. We, on the other hand, have plenty to play for... But I get Garrett finds a way to screw it up and we end up drafting 8th.

 

[Bleu Star]

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.

Dude. No one is rooting for the Skins. Really? Some of us. I tell ya... I'm rooting for a top 3 pick AKA a QB named Lynch or Goff.

 

[Bleu Star]

would be a hilarious game to watch if both sides were 100% committed to losing

Straight comedy (which is what I expect Sunday)

 

[Bleu Star]

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.

Anything is possible with Garrett & crew. For all we know, they could have already installed that winning game plan. It'll be interesting.

Enjoy the game.

 

[Bleu Star]

To those that call this a "loser" mentality... You've got it backwards! This is a winning formula for getting that top 3 pick!

And where did that get good old Herm? A gig on ESPN I guess.........

 

[Bleu Star]

Herm is barely hanging on to that gig.... lol

You don't always play to win the game. Sometime, losing is winning and this upcoming game is a perfect example. I hate tanking. I hate the thought of ever considering tanking over the course of several weeks. It rubs me wrong and goes completely against my own ideals. That said, when compartmentalized into the span of one game and considering the possibilities, I am not going all out to try to win this one last game. Hell will freeze over before I try to win this game and slot myself lower in the draft with two star prospect QBs sitting right there.

I just don't get the mindset. I can not and I will never hope for, root for, or like any loss by my team regardless of the circumstances. I would be ashamed of any player that doesn't give 100 % trying to win every game. I played this game for 14 years and coaches a few more and I have to much respect and love for the game not to give it all I have every chance i had. I think it's a disgrace how many fans want to lose. I really do. It makes me sad and is way more disappointing to me than this season has been.

 

[viman96]

IMO Skins will not want to be swept by Dallas and will play to win

I'm sorry that you're sad. You'll quickly be uplifted we we select our next franchise QB with a top 3 pick in a few months.

4 win season? We earned that franchise qb!

 

[iceberg]

The Commanders are going to mail it in also.

this has the potential to be the most boring game in the history of the NFL.

 

[TonyS]

With all of our collective focus on losing this game, there's no way we lose it. This is another opportunity for the Boys to let us down this season and we will rise to the occasion and win an ugly game that proves how inept and unintelligent our coaching staff really is. It won't be a satisfying victory on or off the field. Bank on it!

(Btw, my stomach turned posting this. How wretched a season this was.)

Gotta love the sub plot though. I hope they don't make my stomach turn on Sunday.

 

[FaSho]

With Kellen Moore at QB, I really don't think we'll have to try to lose. Should just happen on its own.

 

[CowboyRoy]

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.

This could turn out to be like the Philly game several years back. Washington has a bye locked up and not much to play for. Garrett will be going all out against 3rd stringers only to get us a meaningless win and drop us down to the 8th pick.

 

[CowboyRoy]

Yay, we beat the Commanders! We are winners!!!!!

LOL........why is it so difficult for some fans to see the difference between a fan at home rooting for the team to lose and a coach in the locker room trying to win the game?

As if were asking the coaches to walk into the locker room and try to lose? Too funny.
