Last season and plus their loss against the Cardinals should be enough for Cowboys players not to go into this game taking the Commanders lightly. Verbally they are saying the right things about knowing how the Commanders might treat this as a playoff game. We'll see if that translates to them being prepared for the Commanders to come out attempting to win over the first couple of quarters.

Why would the players want a draft pick. Year to year many of them won’t stay on the team. Front office, yes. But players? They want to win.
I’m saying they as in front office. They have the power to sit guys to practically ensure they’re gonna lose

That game last year was a snowball that turned into an avalanche.

Anger fumbles the punt and they get the ball on the 20

Turpin muffs a punt.

It was 13-6 at half.

Our second half drives were 3,1,-2,0,30,0, 6 and 13 yards

You comparing the 2017 8-8 non playoff Cowboys to our team this season :huh: You do know that Eagles team we played was the Number 1 seed in the NFC not the lowly Commanders trying to secure the second pick in the draft. That game was an exhibition.
Yet again…. Point lost on you :facepalm::huh::lmao2:

We better be ready to play. I don’t think they are sitting many guys. I also think Rivera wants to go out with a big win.

It would smart for the them to sit guys with minor injuries, so they have a better chance of getting the 2nd pick.

Commies are tanking for the number 2 pick. We might be resting starters by halftime. :muttley:
I mean, you don't want to lose a game but if they win, how many spots do the potentially drop? That's a bigger hit then beating their hated foe.

They are beyond stupid if they pass up on Williams/Maye/Daniels

The only thing I’ll say is the eagles did exactly this one year and the cowboys barely limped out with a win
Have to play the game and dominate early enough to rest our starters if/when we can
This and as far as I remember there was a game not too long ago where the Washington third stringer QB gave us a good run for our money lol. Pretty embarrassing.

Not that I believe it will happen this time, as we know it's about the Division crown. But the Cowboys have a way to beat themselves even if (or especially when) the other team is rather bad.

According to weather.com, the weather should not be an issue. It's rain all day today. Tomorrow, at kickoff, 47 degrees and partly cloudy, 2% chance of rain.
