Let's all hope Dak can give us something in 5 days we haven't had in 3 years

Steelers have been good at home and horrible on the road. Im glad the skins looked good vs the packers, who suck btw. We are much better than the pack. I'm not scared of seattle either, at home or in their house. we are a match up nightmare for them.

Daks still a rookie, I'm sure nerves are part of his shaky starts at times ...

How many thought we'd be 9-1 after Romo went down? Not me, I was hoping we would have a shot at a playoff spot when Romo came back...

Cousins' performances and the 'Skins have been on the upswing lately but I'm confident that Dak and Zeke should outplay their offense. I'm hoping our pass rush will be at its best and do enough to hurry Cousins sufficiently to make him falter now and again. We shall see. I'm expecting our Cowboys to outscore them by about 10 points or thereabouts.

Their defense is solid but they haven't had to cope with what our offense will throw at them. They'd better be ready for what we can do. Dak might get off to a slow start but by the time the game gets well underway, he'll have them wishing they were playing another team. In the meantime, Zeke will likely attend to making his job much easier, just as he has all along.

This will undoubtedly be a 4th quarter game. One of those "last team with the ball wins" type.

Disagree. We are 7 point favorites for a reason.
We have already beat them on their house earlier in the season. Another beat down is coming. 10-1 here we come.

I am interested to see how Zeke runs on 3 days rest after 25 carries against the Ravens.

Not only was it 25 carries, it was 25 carries mostly to the inside into the teeth of that defense. I really though that was a poor decision in calling the game. Too many inside runs. That sort of thing could cause unnecessary wear and tear on Zeke.

One thing I've learned (by losing a lot of money betting) is you cannot judge what a team is going to do based on their previous game with another opponent. In other words, just because the Skins had their way at home offensively with Green Bay doesn't mean a thing on the road in Dallas.

I wonder if Staubach had the same problem when he replaced Morton? lol
Staubach won 10 in a row including playoffs/SB, I believe, after being named starter in 71. Got hurt preseason in 72 but came back for playoff win against Niners (epic comeback). But in 1973 there was a little controversy of who should start, Morton or Staubach, Staubach finally started and had one of his best statistical seasons ever, the next year Morton was traded to the Giants.

So long answer to your question, yes.
