Talking Cowboys here.Is Tampa Bay mediocre?
Time for this team get back on track or just fade into the background. The Jeckyll and Hyde routine is old.

Just think if we were 5 and 6.To beat Washington, Dallas needs to put together an excellent game plan and execute it well. Don't let the 5 and 6 record fool you. Washington has some good talent. I've seen several of their games. This Taylor Heinicke has proven himself to be a capable quarterback. I've seen him make tight throws. I'm seen him improvise and make something out of a busted play. I'm not ready to anoint him the next Billy Killmer just yet, but Washington may have found their guy. If he keeps improving, he could be the QB they build their team around, and that's a team that has a chance to be a legitimate competitor. The other thing I noticed about Washington is they have a defense that can make stops. Yardage gained against them is yardage earned.
I'm not labeling them elite, but I wouldn't call Denver elite either, and look what they did to us. Washington, btw, gave Denver a way tougher game than we did. They'll be at home and fired up in front of their fans, and will have a high incentive to knock the Cowboys down a notch when we have a 3-game lead. Their goal will be to sweep us and then get help from one other team beating us, and that would give Washington the NFC East lead.
This game is about as far from an easy game as you can get. It's going to be tough, but this Cowboys team has a lot of talent. A great game plan, plus playing our best wins this one for us, which, of course, is easier said than done. I really hope they'll prep well and get fired up. I suspect we'll see a real dogfight.

Physical is what I want to see us do. This is something we have lost along the way. And why we aren’t running the ball. We are no longer punching teams in the mouth. Being a finesse team don’t work when teams play physical..For sure. All division games are tough. These teams know each other well and the WFT still has a decent shot at a WC playoff spot. I expect a tough, physical game.
And now we are scared of the red skins ......... jeebus.
Its the NFC East rival game so anything can happen ........ but I will be dammed if I am gonna be scared of the freaking red skins that we have owned for the past 30 years and Dak is 7-1 against.
So if we win two games, they have to win out and beat us twice to win the division. I’m assuming you think that will happen.Washington is a gritty team and the Cowboys are going to have their hands full. Despite losing their best defensive player Chase Young they’re playing their best football of the season. Instead of folding they’ve elevated their game. Washington has won three Super Bowls with three average QBs. I’m certainly not saying they’re going to win the Super Bowl this season, so don’t anyone try and twist my comment but Taylor Heinicke is in the mold of the type of QBs they’ve had some success with.
I don’t think he’s going to be their future but he has some grit to him. This is another critical game for the Cowboys because if they lose Washington will have the upper hand. They’ll be in full control of their destiny. There’s no easy game left on the Cowboys schedule. They’re going to have to be totally focused and prepared to play each week if they’re going to get back on track. Whatever has gone wrong with the offense they better figure it out quick!
Don't worry about PAPPYDOG and the other reasonable-minded Cowboys fans here.Pappydog and other pessimistic or negative Cowboys fans will call say that the WFT team is an amazingly strong, great opponent, if they beat the Cowboys.
But, if the Cowboys beat the Football team, then they'll either say that the Football team sucks or is really a bad team or will make some sort of other excuses for why Dak shouldn't get credit for beating them and why the Cowboys season still is in "trouble" or "turmoil."
Dak has a bad track record in D.C.
They beat the Raiders this will not be pretty for us in D.C.
This is why what you say I ignore.
Dak's record versus Washington is 7-1 in 8 games.
I understand you hate him. I can get that, if not truly comprehend why, since your posts are mostly vitriol with zero substance.
But to outright manufacture a comment like above just shows me not only are you dead wrong, but your unbridled hatred means you are rooting for Dak to fail, which makes the team you supposedly follow fail.
You would rather be right about Dak, which means the Cowboys lose, than for Dak to play well and the Cowboys win.
My opinion you are the worst fan on this site. I just wonder what team you truly admire, because it isn't this team.
Okay. Noted.
Washington is a great team and we’ll be lucky to win.
So once we kick their butts up and down the field next Sunday, I don’t want to hear ANY excuses about how “it was just Washington!” or “we’re lucky their QB was Heinicke!”
Remember how quickly the narrative changed about Philly after we demolished them on national TV? All of a sudden they weren’t a worthy opponent and Dallas merely did what was expected.
Don't worry about PAPPYDOG and the other reasonable-minded Cowboys fans here.
Worry about Dak-Friendly and how they can stop going 3 and out and start scoring TD......
