I'd like to see Romo have a good game and the Boys make the playoffs.

Not only that, but I need Dez Bryant to have a big game for Fantasy Championship, and I am playing against RGIII, Alfred Morris, and Pierre Garcon, so hopefully the Cowboy Defense can help me bring home the money this weekend.

I think it is going to be a great game. Biggest game in DC in years. I am in the ATL visiting in laws, so glad they moved the game to Sunday night I feared I was going to be stuck watching the Falcons. Tickets are selling in the upper hundreds and thousands of dollars. Been a Skins fan all my life. Riggins, Monk, Green, Clark, Jacoby, Mosely, Theisman Williams, Rypien etc. Got my boys RG3 jerseys for Christmas. Washington has to stop the pass and Dallas needs to stop the run. Whoever does that...will win. Fed ex will be a rockin' HTTR!!!

I'd like to see Dallas work their way into the playoffs...

I'm just not on the RGIII bandwagon and since the Saints beat the Cowboys last weekend, I don't care how they finish. I want to see Garrett do well enough to keep his job for a few years (which I think he will do).

I'm disappointed in myself for not doing fantasy football this year...

I am a cows fan

We usually don't play good in big games (lately). I actually think playing on the road helps here. Romo has been playing good, and not turning the ball over. We have to be able to run it with Murray, and get pressure on rg3. We have a better wr corp I think. Dez has become a monster. Our oline needs to play well, and we CANNOT fall behind early like the last 6 games. If we do then we won't be able to come back against WS. D ware got nicked last week, and I have not checked on his status. We are gonna have to have him to win.

'Boys choke again. RG is the real deal and that home crowd in Landover will be crazy.

Jason Garret pack your bags.

I don't think jerrah will fire him even if we miss the playoffs. I would love to make the change to Payton. Won't happen. Garrett has done just barely enough.

I'm not optimistic.

I'd say our only chance is that RGIII isn't back at full strength, and he makes a few mistakes. the 'Boys can't afford a slow start.

RG III is a class act and great player. Unfortunately for the Skins he showed last week that he has definitely lost some of his elite speed and elusiveness.

He is renting a house in our neighborhood in Northern Virginia. At Halloween he handed out Redskins Elite socks, arm sleeves, and T-shirts to the kids in neighborhood. Let's just say the kids (and parents) were impressed.

Neither one of these teams has much experience or success in do or die games, but I'm pulling for the Skins. I'll have to find a place to watch it in Jacksonville since MSU takes priority over the NFL.

While I'd love to see the Cowboys win, I'm afraid that Romo is the anti-Montana

...and uses these games to choke in the clutch. The problem is that there's no sense of urgency on the team, no fear in the players. That's because if a player gets pushed by a coach, they can go complain to Jerruh and Jerruh, being the GM and no wanting to show he's incapable of making a good personnel decision, will back the player.

The Washington Foreskins had this problem too...but at least Dan Snyder has enough sense to leave the coaching of the team to Mike Shanahan, a probable Hall of Famer.

What Jerruh needs to do is hire a Mickey Loomis at GM, Sean Payton at Head Coach, then retire to a desert Island.

Lifelong Cowboys fan. I'm 43 so I've seen the good bad and ugly. This team as in the last few years will more than likely do some things to shoot themselves in the foot. False starts, defense jumping offsides, roughing the passer. You name it, we will find a way to do it. Oh and at least one or two or three delay of games on Romo because he runs the play clock down to a 1/2 second every play. And a few time outs lost due to above.

That being said, Romo has been playing well, Dez has been on fire, Murray is getting his legs back and the offense has been clicking. The D is beat up bad. We may as well not even play linebackers. Add another dlineman and 2 more safeties and just not play with any. How many catches did the saints running backs have last week?

I think RGIII is still hobbled and won't be as mobile and Ware and Spencer will wreak havoc on the passing game. We have to stop the run and put pressure on him when he throws we do that we have a chance.
