It is simple for the Redskins if they win they are in. They have to beat their dreaded rival the Cowboys. Lets look at it from Dallas side, they don't have TO and they have already clinched home field advantage. It just plays into the Skins favor. With that being said I will go ahead and say that the Redskins will win and be the 6th seed in the NFC.


Do you really believe that that Cowboys want to crawl in to the playoffs on three bad game streak? Especially a two game losing streak against their two biggest rivalries? Not to mention, laying down and allowing their biggest rival a free pass in to the playoffs? I'm really not too sure you understand the NFL at all if this is what you believe.

Dallas has played two poor games in a row now, and they need to do something heading into the playoffs to boost themselves. And what better to do than to roll in to Washington and knock them out of the playoff.

I can see you are from the DC area, and you really want the Cowboys to just lay down and let you walk in...but if you've lived there more than 10 months, you MUST know this just isn't going to happen.


Did u watch the first game at all? TO dominated with 4 TD catches and burned the Redskins deep all day. WIthout him who is their deep threat. I don't really see anyone except Witten over the middle. Plus with Romo and his problems with his thumb I would believe that since they have nothing to play for that they would rest him up.


The Cowboys are a deep team. TO is certainly not their only receiver. Patrick Crayton only had like 2 catches in the first game, since TO was the target. And he does average 15 yards per catch, and is certainly can be considered a deep threat. But in the end, Washington isn't just open to deep passes, they're open to ALL passes. Their pass defense is 17th in the league. Meanwhile, Dallas has a top 5 defense against the rush, which eliminates the big threat of Washigton.

Look for Whitten to have a great day over the middle against Washington, and when they tighten up against him, look for Crayton to have at least 2 scores over 30 yards.

You may think they have NOTHING to play for, but that means you are probably new to the DC area. When its Dallas against Washington, on a nationally televised game...there's ALWAYS something to play for. If it was any other team in the NFL, I wouldn't argue with you. But this game is always a great game.


Forfeited Turn


Hopefully Fannation agrees that you can't win an argument you don't finish :-)

Vote to Gruden.The last thing the Cowboys want is there two biggest rivals in the playoffs meaning the skins and giants.They wont play T.O obviously but Dallas will not lay down.

A lot of it depends on how much the Dallas starters are rested....but don't forget, Washington went on the road and played pretty well against Dallas a couple weeks ago. Take away TO, and I think it'll be a pretty interesting game.

Anderson you went a tid bit to far.Have you realized that when T.O came out of the game the offense struggled?Or that 2 weeks ago whenT.O had one catch Romo had his worst game of the year.How bout when T.O comes out that offense goes from scary to decent.No one is scared of Crayton or hurd.Witten would be the only weapon left and with out double coverage on T.O you can take him out.They may beat the Redskins this week but if hes not healthy the boys are in trouble.

well momentum is big, but i dont know since the cowboys have everything locked up including the numba one spot in the NFC i think they might rest some starters. but this is a big rivalry, but big enough to risk a potential super bowl run? i'm not a fan of either of these teams, so maybe it is. I just don't think they will go into DC at full force, and the redskins probably find a way to win. both arguments are good for the td i guess, but im followin the gut and i'm going with jasonbash ONLY because i believe the boys will want to rest up and the redskins win.

The Giants will face Tampa in the playoffs, not Washington.

Note to SpankS: I defy you to show me where you got the quote "do you really think Dallas wants to lose". You made it up, then voted against me because of it. Brilliant.
