With or without Portis, if we can't beat you guys we are not going anywhere anyway.

Let´s face the facts here, Portis is one of the best running backs in the NFL and him not playing increases our chances on winning, and that is the truth.
And besides, him being out 2-4 weeks increases the chance of the skins losing some other games, so you may not be happy but you should if you want the cowboys to go to the playoffs.

I really could. If we squeak by just because Portis did not play then I don't hold out too much hope.

OK, you got me on their chances of losing other games. That I would like!!!!!!

Well I hate to hear he's possibly really hurt. For one I wanted us to beat them with him in there but also because I like Portis. Plus I just dont like to see anyone get hurt, but yeah.

The Giants pretty much squeaked by and we all know what happened there. Just gotta peak at the right time is all.

Would you rather lose by having a great game??? A W is a W, we really need this one if we get it by winning ugly I`ll take it and maybe we´ll figure out the winning playing great part later on.

I did not say I would rather lose - I just said I would not hold out too much hope.

I am always an optimist, but for some reason over the last 10 days my pessimistic side has taken control.

I don't know how to stop it - I may need therapy!!!

Don't read message boards, they will just depress you more.

Awful. I had a bad feeling this injury was going to pretty serious. My only hope is that Betts plays even if hes at around 85%. Be happy Cowboy fans.

For you its about beating the Cowboys... for me and some others... a win any way we can get it regardless of who we play and/or who is playing.

I would have no problem being happy with a win over a team that was missing 20 starters. All I want is the W... nothing else matters... who played, who didnt.

I say let´s just win this one and take it game by game.

NoLuv4Jerry · Nov 11, 2008

again...I disagree with EVERYONE who thinks his presence is going to make a major difference in winning or losing...we have not played to our potential...if we do I don't care who is running the football...let's not act like Portis is the 2nd coming of Jim Brown...just because we have struggled at times this year...let's not act like we have not been a dominant run defense for the majority of the last few years. If Dallas plans on making the playoffs we need to win 5, probably 6 more games. To do that we need to play like we are capable...if we play like we are capable....we will beat the Skins. With or Without Portis.

Well, I think a win will bring my optimism back - thats for sure. Seeing Romo play well is good therapy for me.

Yep, that is kinda what I was saying. This should be a playoff game intensity for the Cowboys. If they can't win this one with or without Portis........

Unfortuntely it sounds like a legit injury. One that could possibly linger for the rest of the season. I think I remember LT having a 2nd degree knee sprain last year or 2 years ago and he looked awful when he tried to play through the pain. I mean if he does somehow play i bet he will not be effective and that will be the story of the game.

I still won't believe it until I see the inactive list.

But if he doesn't play, at least the game's on NBC. I'd hate for Troy to miss his favorite player in the league.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion but let me ask you this. You can´t disagree that not having Portis for a couple of weeks really affects the skins? or can you?
