Don't know about the 'no problem' part.

But most mediots did say we will lose at least one of those games.

The steelers won 3 division games in a row then went to the Jets and got shocked. Lets not let that happen to us.

The difference is the Jets have to come to us on a short week.

This Thanksgiving I'm thankful we don't have to go across the country in a short week.

I thought 2-1 would be the best we could hope for. These guys proved they are the class of the NFC.

You young guys ........... enjoy this and savor every snap. Most of us have been waiting years for this feeling to come back around.

I thought that was messed up. Its tradition. Do you think its fair for us to play 3 games in 13 days. No. Do you think its fair to have 3 division games in a row. Hes such a reverse homer its sickening.

Yeah, I bet he felt that way when he was a Cowboy.

The thing that sucks is we don't get the 10 day layoff, we have to go again on Thursday after Thanksgiving.

I thought that Dallas would lose one out of these three division games.

This is the best start in the Cowboys history and the Cowboys played a determined team with their backs to the wall. And while a lot of these younger fans think Joe Gibbs is a joke he is a great coach who will always have his team ready for the Cowboys.

The Cowboy showed their heart and drive today and this was a great win which will make this team stronger.

I really thought this would be the time when we buried the Skins, just as much as I thought we would finally beat the Eagles and did. But you knew from the first stalled drive and the first Skins TD that this was gonna be another one of those nailbiters. And it was.

Campbell actually showed some ability, tho he threw behind his receivers more times than I can count, and it finally bit him in the arse. We contained Portis and made them beat us with a whittled-down WR corps and a young QB, and it worked.

They brought their A game and we brought our B game (a C but for TO) and we still won. I'll give them their dues this time - they fought tooth and nail and that must have been their best effort of the season - but it still wasn't good enough. Gibbs is a goner...

Franchise record 10-1 start is what's for dinner on Turkey Day - enjoy!

I really thought this would be our "easiest" game.

I wonder how much of our "sleepwalking" today had to do with us having two tough road games?

It just goes to show that you can't take anyone lightly in the NFL.

His point was that the game preceding the Turkey Day Game shouldn't be at home, not that Dallas shouldn't have the Thanksgiving game. It is a lot tougher on the opposing teams to have both the short week and then have to travel to meet a team that's been at home for the last 11 days waiting for them.
