I'm sure I'm in the minority, but I think the Cowboys are going to surprise some people Monday night. Their defense has been playing better the last few games. They're getting some key players back and the Skins are not all that. Plus, this a huge rivalry. Throw out the records. Cassel has a few more weeks with the playbook and I think there's 52 other players who want to prove something.

The pressure is on Washington. And for crying out loud, with all do respect to Cousins, what has he done? They have not beaten a team over .500 all year.

I think they're getting a little too much credit and I see a Dallas win. 27-21

I'm not excited at all.

The game will probably just end up being background noise for me while I surf the web.

Not having anything to play for in sports really kills my interest.

Watch every play until the bitter end is my way of doing it.
I have done that every game all my life. Do not know any other way, nor will I change.
Even the 1-15 season, when they were on TV where I lived at, I watched.

I think hope our Defense comes out and plays with urgency and knowing they need to stop those game ending long plays they given up. Stop the open players for long gains. Get some sacks that count, create turnovers.
Can the offense find the end zone, several times or more to get a lead, instead of a garbage end of game TD.

I do not really know what to expect, but I will watch until the end.

These are 2 evenly matched teams. I give Washington the slight advantage but both are mediocre squads. It's funny how folks consider the game a walkover W for Washington because they happen to hold the top spot in the division at the moment. The game will be decided by 4 points or less, either way.

A 3-8 team beating a 5-6 team isnt a surprise. This is a matchup between two crappy teams.

If I was Romo, I would be a little pissed if the team won without me at this point. I mean, when it actually mattered the team dropped 7 consecutive games and now when it means jack, they are going to step up and win?

Just saying that if I was Romo, I would be thinking "where the hell was this during those 7 weeks".

The hatred for the Skins is practically dead for me. It's more like pity. Just another game on the schedule as far as I am concerned.

I was extremeskins earlier today just to see what they are saying.
They still seem to thing Landry and Allen are still coaching. And disco is all the rage.

The 2015 version of this team has really alienated me too. A sloppy uninspired mess of a team and coaches.

Me either. I might be spending the night watching the voice with wife and checking the score on my phone. It's as exciting as a preseason game.

Great comparison.. This is preseason football minus them optimism for an upcoming season.
