I think we'll probably lead going into the half but will lose with the backups in there being that the skins are playing for playoffs.
Does anyone else have a feeling about this week?

Ditto! But I imagine that Brad Johnson, even though he's a backup, will be playing with a chip on his shoulder, wanting to prove his worth to not only the Dallas Cowboys franchise, but to all Cowboy fans.
Brad could potentially have a nice game.

I say it will take 24 points to win that game.
We can 14 in the 1st half if our starters are ready to go which I have a feeling they will be.
Plus inserting Terry Glenn into the lineup should be excellent to watch in itself.

I think we're going to have a hard time scoring points in this game.
We'll be fortunate to have 10-13 at the half, imo.
Someone unexpected will have to have a huge game on offense for us to score a lot of points...that's what I'm hoping for.

If Romo playes entire first half, I could see us scoring 17 points at half. I would love seening TGenn getting his first TD of the season against the skins. Romo will be throwing lot of passes at Witten to help him to get an NFL record for receptions by TE. We don't have anything to lose so I don't believe there will be any pressure on the players and they will be loose.CATCH17;1862823 said:

I think Collins will have a chip on his shoulder too. Hasn't it been said that when Wade took over as HC at Buffalo, they let Collins go?Fletch;1862821 said:

I'm just not sure how we'll approach the game. If we rest tons of starters, we could lose by a lot. But I really don't think Wade will let that happen. These guys are all competitors, it's been a great season so far, and I don't think they want to just go out there and get crushed on national TV, "meaningless game" or not. Wade already said that getting the most regular season wins in franchise history meant something to him, and I bet it means something to the players, too.
Besides, I think we do have pretty good depth. Look at it this way: If the Patriots sat a few starters, would anyone expect them to get rolled? No, they'd expect the backups to step up. I think we're almost to that point, where we have so much confidence that we just expect to do well.
And one factor that I do think is huge is that the Skins are such heavy favorites with the pressure on them. The last few weeks they could kind of lay in the weeds with no pressure... Now for the first time, everyone expects them to win, and they know they have to beat us to get in the playoffs. If we get a fast start and doubts creep in their heads, we could be in good shape.

Fair enough, we scored 13 points, though. 6 if you discount the Barber TD after he left. I think we will be better this week now that we have a gameplan without TO and of course the return of Glenn.YoMick;1863273 said:Ok here is a post with no if's or but's

I have a strong feeling the Cowboys will lose.

Just because...
It's always hard to lose to the skins, but getting out of this game injury free means a hell of a lot more to me than a win.
