I'm not sure what everyone expects, but we were playing

[Woods]

playing without our number 1 WR, without our number 2 WR, without our Pro Bowl Center, a RT still playing with a sprained ankle, and with a QB who is recovering from a thumb injury and didn't really know until Thursday last week he would be able to play . . . .

And we still win a tough away game.

I'm still positive on this team. We didn't "mail it in". We gutted it out and got the win.

Once we're all healed up, and we will be soon, we'll be a better team because we know we can win with adversity.

Well said....

The Panthers were playing for their playoff life......You had to know they would give their best shot.

I for one am certainly not down on the team. I am very concerned about the situation these injuries have put Dallas in. Dallas is just simply not going to be rolling into the playoffs and playing its best ball. This very much concerns me for the divisionals, not to mention the strong posibility of having to win @ Wash. w/out TO to secure homefield.

I feel pretty strongly that the home team would win a Dallas/GB re-match. But I am VERY worried about the divisional playoffs, provided injuries don't play a huge factor. The prospect of playing that game with a hobbled TO (we don't know what we're going to get from Glenn, if anything) scares me to death, especially with a team that really hasn't played its best since the first half of week 14. That means Dallas needs to flip a swith after 4 weeks of being just another good team-not an elite one like it was the first 13 games of the year.

This is not the 95 team that already knew how to win in Jan. This is a team that still needs to learn how to win playoff games. If TO is not near 100%, there is not a matchup in the divisionals that doesn't concern me (some more than others).

Again, I don't see any way to be down on a 13-2 team, but I am concerned with the current situation given the ultimate goal, which is to make it to AZ....

Fair enough.

But looking at our injuries, the only one that seems to be uncertain right now is TO's injury. We'll hopefully know something more in the next day or two.

But guys like Colombo, Gurode, Romo, Watkins, for example, should be fine by our 1st playoff game - if not before.

As for Glenn, let's see if he plays versus Washington. But it seems he is on the verge of giving it a go.

You want the honest to Pete truth? I think a lot of people put money on the games and when we don't cover the spread they are bitter and feel like they need to share that with us.

Good point I know from personal experience that can be the case. Back in the late 60's and into the 70's I would bet on the games, It got to where I didn't enjoy the games at all. I quit betting and have never looked back, I enjoy football too much to let my actions change the perceptions of the games.

I like gut it out wins every bit as much as I do blow out wins. A win is a win and I feel great when we win.

When we played the Skins, they were without 1/2 of their secondary.

Come on guys, who cares? We WON! Let's go into the holiday season VERY cheery! We're 13-2!:starspin

I do as well I've watched long enough to know that in the NFL every win is special. When I hear some people talk about how we should blow a certain team out especially when it is a division team or a team we play frequently I always wonder if they are watching the same NFL I am.

Hey IMO in games like against Detroit and Charlotte a gut check win is significant and character building, not something to be embarrassed about.

Yeah, I have never understood the "we should blow them out" crowd. Why? Because the Vegas line says so?
