Am I the only one that is not really into the game tonight? For me, this is going to be like a preseason game. Is there anything to play for besides trying to keep momentum going into the playoffs?

I understand that the team has to continue the winning ways that they are on, but, really...what is left to be done? For me, it would be exciting to see the backups play, otherwise, for me this is just another meaningless game. Help me understand why the game would help the Cowboys on their way to the playoffs.

I kind of agree with the OP. I feel like I prepare for games similar to the players. My pregame preparation and mental focus is critical. I'm always excited to see our guys go after it but feeling a little weird. A good problem I guess. There's some upside in establishing momentum, playing for excellence and records.

I think we need to punch Detroit in the face and make a statement

Why, bro? I think the statement has been made. But, I sort of agree with one thing...their QB needs a slap in the face for dogging the Cowboys with his "heroic" comeback bullcrap!

I have been pretty busy with all of the fam here and haven't had alot of time.

Have there been any indications from the team regarding playing time for the starters?

Is there any possibility that Lee could get some time off tonight?

I really want to see the Cowboys win these past two games and go 14-2 for the first time ever. But I don't want that to happen at the expense of having some starters hurt in a game that lacks any tangible meaning (for the Cowboys).

At least there will be no pressure to win; so it will be like a preseason game in that regard.

I don't care about the result really.

I just want 3 things.

1. No injuries.

2. Zeke to have a shot at Dickerson record next week.

3. Gregory and Irving to look like beasts off the edge.

I personally always enjoy a Cowboys game.

And comparing this to a preseason game? I don't see it. Rosters are at 53 and the other team will be very motivated to win.

I need no help getting it up for a 12 win team against a possible playoff opponent on a Monday night.

Disagree. Let's not repeat 2007.

The starters did play the finale against the Commanders in 2007; before Wade Phillips pulled them at halftime. The team came out flat anyway. I doubt Jason Garrett forgets that and will make sure this team maintains it's edge, no matter how much the regulars play these last two regular season games.

I love it! The next two games don't matter, so I can just sit back, relax, and not stress out about it.

If you're anything like me... by mid 1st quarter you're sucked and an invested like any other regular season game. Other than pre-season, when I see our colors, the star, our guys... I'm thinking WIN .... can't turn it off.

For sure. Don't get me wrong, I'll be invested in the game and hoping for a win, but if we happen to lose, I'm not going to stress out over the result of it. I just hope everyone gets out injury-free.
