I agree about not taking the redskins for granted.  This team has

come a long way and is still vulnerable to shooting themselves in

the foot.

Let's finish this thing.

GO COWBOYS!!!

The 'Skins pass D is #11 in the NFC. At least one Cowboy receiver is going to haul in some big catches. I think we'll see Witten back in the catching fold.

It will be important to dispatch with the 'Skins early and avoid any costly injuries.

Not to ever take a Gibbs team for granted but their overall package just doesn't match-up with a focused Romo-led Cowboy team.

Cowboys 34  Redskins 13

Wonder how many drops he has on thrid down and if he leads the league in those too.

Lets see... No Carlos Rogers.. i think thats the CB name, and No Sean Taylor.. Santana Moss aint doin much, I think we have a very good chance of beating this team.. Lets start this 3 game home stand with a W against our division rivals!

Just watching Romo you get a sense of his maturation process.  That 1st TD was unworldly!  Let me tell you something, if that pump fake, duck and toss was on purpose, he is pure genious!

on paper it's easy win, but don't take for granted 'til the time expires, i litterally pull off my hair on those loss (moss pair of Td's late in the game and that no-time field goal), so what will be the key for this game, concentration, execution, no penalties, I think it will be a low scoring game, and think too the boys would run the ball all day (of course i'm not a prophet)  so go for the nine COWBOYS!!!

The two big offensive weapons are santana moss and randle -el for the skins. Not so much worried about because reeves newman are looking pretty good right now,  however the guy we need to stop is cooley.  If henry is playing on the nickle or dime  who has cooley, roy williams?  Roy can bring the big hit, but last week he gave shockley to much space playing off. Final thought cowboys prevail, 21-10.  

Don't forget, hopefully sometime down the line we get Terry Glenn back into the lineup.  Everyone is talking about the numbers Romo is putting up and how great the offense has been thus far.  Reminder, Terry Glenn has been the DEEP threat on the other side.  No disrespect to Patrick Crayton who is having a great year for us, but I don't think he is a true #2 receiver, having Terry Glenn back in the lineup gives Romo another big time play maker and gives the team another leader for the playoffs.  Look out!  We could just be getting healthy at the right time of year...

Yep i agree  about not taking the  eye off the prize, we have to  focus and  cut out the penalties  for  sure. And the deadskins always play us  tough.

A couple weeks ago, SKip bayless said "Little" Tony ROmo and the Cowboys would lose 6 or 7 more games.....I guess that means we are going winless the rest of the way.

Now that the Giants have been swept by Dallas, anyone notice how the new fangled "they're better than Dallas" poster boys have been picked by the media. Green Bay, of course.

Well we fixing to play  cowboys and  indians again.....guess we'll be playing  cowboys n packers  before  long n just see who  comes out on top..lol ..makes ya  wonder  how skippy got his name

Romo is much improved from last year. He can be even better. That IS awesome to think about. And TO has become quite an asset both to Romo and the team.

The Redskins are usually a tough win. They really need this win too.They are still in the division so a win for the Cowboys is closer to the playoffs.

the deadskins don't match up well against us we just need to contain portis on D and we will be fine. Their secondary is hurtin' so Romo should have a huge day. and we all know Washington CAN'T BEAT US IN THE BIG D THAT GAME 2 YRS AGO WAS A DAMN FLUKE. ANYWAY MY PREDICTION:

BOYS:34

DEADSKINS:17

LIKE MY MAN R KELLY SAYS, WE BOUT TO DOUBLE UP!! GO COWBOYS SMASH THEM Redskins!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I always said,when the Redskins and Cowboys play each other,you can pretty much disregard the records and even which team is playing well,or playing poorly.It's part of what makes this a great rivalry.

i say cowboys 38  and the Redskins 20.. u knoe wat it iz! Barber goin to tear it up!

Our team has two strengths which will give the Redskins trouble. We can pressure the QB and we have proven we can contain the run. Therefore this week should no doubt be another win. Certainly Gibbs will have his team prepared with a good game plan.......but.......Cowboys will prevail............Da Boys: 34  Redskins: 10

Mick,

Romo's five interceptions against the bills hurt his qb rating but he is still #3 on the rankings list! He is an elite QB! There was an agent that compared Romo to Grossman before the season! I wonder where this agent is at now!

It doesn't get any better than redskins-cowboys! The best rivalry in football! You are right even though they are 5-4 they have a good defense and they will be ready to play on sunday!

If you can throw up 5 INT's in a game and still stay focused to keep your head in the game and still win at the end, it should speak volumes as to the type of player and the ability he has. Most QB's I have seen, kind of loose their composure after just one INT. Romo looks like he don't even give it a second thought (Romoteflon the Teflon QB). That playoff game at Seattle helped him with that. And another thing, I think that a lot of the offensive success they've enjoyed so far this season, can go to Garret. Other teams defense haven't been able to figure him out yet. The loss to the Pats I thought was a focus thing, the same thing will happen maybe against the Packers if they let it.

P.S. I would love to see what would happen if you put JJ and MB in the backfield together on a few plays, through out the game.

i cant wait to watch this game on Sunday..I hope the running game picks up against the skins.. i very well think we will contain the skins run game and get another 5 sack game for our D!

With the two top DBs out for the Redskins, how can they ever matchup with the WR firepower? Last year we were still a mediocre team, and just as last week a 15 yard personal foul isn't going to give them the game. They're going to need more than 22 points to win this time.

Also Randy Moss has been involved in 84 percent of the Pats play calling and TR has called many numbers in his passing game.

Plus most of Brady's passes come across the middle..

I will take TR over Brady any Day

Just keep underestimating  Tony Romo. Thats the way I like it.

I will have to see but to develop a true statistic you have to take out his worst and his best game and then average the rest

I've seen Jason Campbell throw some absolutely perfect passes.  The kid is legit, he is just young and green.

I am not so worried about the Red Skins this year, but in the next two to three years, they will have a nasty passing game.

Skip Bayless has zero credibility when discussing the Cowboys.  The Cowboys could go 19-0, win every game 72-0 and have every player donate their paychecks to charity, and Bayless would still rip them.  He cannot get past his relentless Cowboy bashing.  When I see him on TV or see his name in a byline, I just turn the channell or move on to the next story...

Cowboys-Redskins is always tough, but I am not too concerned this week.  I am more concerned about Week 17.  I expect the 'Boys to roll over them this week.  Hopefully, we will have home field wrapped up by the last week of the regular season, and the 'Skins might beat our back-ups then.  That's a loss I could take...

Skip Bayless is a joke.  I love how he jumps on the Giants and Lions bandwagon and can't be further away from the Cowboys'.  Then when the Cowboys stomp the Giants and the Lions get stomped by the lowly Cardinals, Skip Bayless decides to take the week off, what an ass.

In deed the Boys and Skins game is always going to be one that everyone has their eye on because they are such rivals. But are the Giants and Boys not huge rivals as well? Lets face it, Gibbs will have the Skins as prepared as they can be, but the overwhelming advantages the Boys have over the Skins on Sunday provides a recipe for disaster. The Boys are home, we stop the run very well, the Skins are missing key components of their secondary, Campbell will not have enough time to scope the field and Tony will shred the Skins secondary. In addition, the Boys have their heads on straight and will remember giving up a fourth quarter lead by giving up the deep ball just a few seasons ago, it wont happen again... For those Cowboy fans that are wishing and hoping for a thight, hard fouhgt battle please take the day off and go Sunday driving with your Grandma cause this will be a blow out...

Cowboys 45

Redskins 10

Portis is really the only threat they have in my opinion.  Last week was the first td pass caught by a wide reciever for the redskins.  Portis has been on key the last two weeks and we will need a good game to contain him.  Cooley could have a few grabs but he is not Shockey and that game he had a couple years ago was a fluke.  My pridiction is Dallas-38 Washington-17

blow out game, our offense and defense is to good. Romo mixed it up with passes to T.O.,Witten, Crayton, Hurd, and fasino. And once again my special play is a pass to Tony Curtis, he seem to get open unexpectively. Ratliff and Tank will have a big day. MBIII and JJ will rush for over 150 yards

go cowboys 34

pork skins   10

Rollboysroll and steve-y4, I think you are right.  The Cowboys have a little revenge factor going here after last year's debacle.  Plus, the 'Skins best threat (Portis-Betts) plays right into our strength (run defense).  Look for Romo's next 300+ yard game, and a score that is either not close, or a game where the score is closer than the game was, like the 1st Giants game.  Also, what are the national media going to do when Green Bay loses to either Carolina or Detroit before our big Nov. 29 match-up?

it's funny how he has to take his comments and hide, he does not like he cowboys since Troy's times, I read a story he wrote about how one day coming back from a game the offensive line almost kill him because he was writing bad stuff about Troy, that if it wasn't for Jimmy J. they would have kicked the hell out of him, I just think he was drunk in the flight back and all that was a dream, and if not, well good for the OLine to take care of his QB.

Y'up .... Romo is the man! ...and yes, I wouldn't be surprised if the Redskins play a good game, (tell me if you're with me now) but this year's Cowboys are different... They play with confidence and they have fun... They are winners. The only team that can beat them is them themselves.

I don't know if any of you watch NFL network.  But I am sick and damn tired of Rod Woodson.  He is the biggest damn homer I have ever seen.  Last year he bashed Romo by saying his vote to the Pro Bowl was not legit even though his stats through 10 starts justified it.  He said Romo was not a Pro Bowl QB.  Well low and behold, last night he took more jabs at Romo by saying in a sarcastic way that when he goes this year he will deserve it.  The good news is I am done defending Romo.  He does not need it.  People who have disparaging things to say about him are absolutely blind and ingnorant to boot.  His no longer has flashes of greatness.  His greatness finds its way out on a weekly basis.  I am sure glad he is a Cowboy.

Stop worrying about guys like that ! just enjoy what our Cowboys team is doing, people are trying to find ways to lesser Romo, they can't he keeps playing very well, sometimes he has some luck, but every winner needs a little of it, the best play in all NFL of last week was the first TD from Romo to Curtis, just was amazing !

I haven't seen anybody on here complaining about bradie james this year.  I remeber this offseason there were some doubters on here.  I tried to defend how good I thought he was and he is proving me right this year.  I think he deserves to get his first pro bowl nod this year, am I still one of the only ones?

Who in here doesn't have NFL network?

Mickey,

I love how you mentioned T.O. on 3rd downs.  Every game on 3rd down I am looking for the slant to Owens because he has so many big catches on 3rd down and the boys look SOO Much better on 3rd down this year.  In the first few games the big 3rd down plays were coming from Witten, but since teams have figured out Witten over the middle = 1st down, he has been doubled up almost every play in the past few weeks.

It's now mid season and I think all of the critics are going somewhere else for the story beside Romo and T.O.  They all know now that Tony is the real deal and they are getting tired of waiting on T.O. to blow up and lose his cool.  I can't recall ever watching an NFL quarterback on TV that has a smile on his face multiple times throughout the same game.  Even in the Buffalo game he managed to crack a smile after throwing his second INT, and I agree, his stats are overlooked when considering the one bad game.

I was at the Giants game this past Sun and when he threw that INT the home fans chanted "Tony Homo" multiple times, but he bounces back so well when he has to that I replied, "you wish you had him!!"  

On a side note I hope that Owens gets his Pro Bowl selection this year and lights it up with his own QB throwing the bombs to his bread basket!!  

Steve-4 Ya

I couldn't agree more.  With the talent on Defense, James has been overlooked for too long.  He makes big plays at big moments and there is soo much talent on defense that he does need to be given credit.  Watching for Ware to make the move inside, or come all the way across the line to make a tackle from behind on a run starting from his opposite side is an easy distraction for anyone, not to mention how well Ellis has bounced back from his injury.

I would love to see the NFC defense have Ware, James and Ellis in the mix.  this is coming from a big fan, but hey......it could happen!

I agree, Bradie James is having an excellent year.  He played at LSU and that is all I need to pull for him making it to his first Pro Bowl.

It is one game at a time and teh Cowboys can't look past the Skins. But, I as a fan can!  And, I can't help but think and wish and hope that Terry Glenn can come back to full form at least for the playoff run. And maybe a couple games before so he can work into the offense. I'm looking at the Patriots. I expect us to get there. I won't blame Wade Phillips if we don't get there because I am also a Bills fan and use to have season tickets. I KNOW what a great and under-rated coach he is. He got screwed over in Buffalo. I mean, what other coach in the NFL is capable of getting a team led by Doug Flutie and Rob Johnson a music city "mistake" away from the Super Bowl? I won't even mention the other scrubs he had to work with in Buffalo.

Anyhow, back to my point, I expect us to be in the Super Bowl. We need more fire power. We need our OL to get an attitude in the run game. Knock teh Patriots backwards! Glenn, TO, Witten...oh man...I like our chances. And what if...I say what if...Stanback is a real player? Someone capable of at least being used in key situations on key plays to add a spark...a new dimension? He doesn't need to learn how to run every route, just a couple of routes really well. Let the other WR run the other routes. Get Stanback open...get him the ball..watch him run.

Heck, I think teh Pats are old...I think they will wear down...I think we can take 'em

Though Dallas has the 2nd ranked offense, it would still be nice to get Terry Glenn back. I can't wait til he comes. I want to say in about two weeks. I truly believe we can get him back in two weeks. I think we need for the offensive line to get a little nastier in the run game. They need to really spring Jones and Barber to that second level. If we can get better in our pass defense, defensively we will be dominant. I don't get what is up with Roy Williams. That is my boy and all but he is getting beat a little to much. I'd still like to see him in the pro-bowl though. We need to get Terrance Newman in the pro-bowl because he deserves it. As well as Anthony Henry. Ken Hamlin has made some key plays as well.

I think that Tank Johnson will be fine in this defense. I can't say enough how I am missing Terry Glenn in that offense though. And lets not talk about SUPERBOWL yet guys. Lets get into that playoff picture and then talk, because anything can happen. So lets take it one game at a time. But I think we can win out the rest of the schedule.

T.G. we need you. Get better and we will see you in two weeks. Go Cowboys!!!!!

Talking about Romo's five 300+ yard passing games over Brady and Manning combined and trailing Favre by just one is a good look. However, I dont think Favre's six 300+ yard games is even a factor, I mean if we didnt have MB and JJ and couldnt move the ball on the ground and we had to through 50+ times per game Romo would have a lot more than six 300+ games too. I know that we have to take one game at a time, but I went venturing into the future with our match up coming against the Pack. And this is what i found, they have played, in my opinion, one solid team and that was the Giants; and we all know how solid they turned out to be... Looking forward, put Favre against Romo and we win, put the Pack offense against our D and Favre does not throw for 300, put our offense against the Pack D and we throw for 300. Favre is great no doubt, but we have a young talented superstar with amazing confidence and focus... In the end Romo will have more 300+ yard games than Favre and more importantly an NFC Championship.

I think that the Cowboys will roll over the Redskins.  We are the best team in the NFC, yet we are still underestimated.  When we play Green Bay in 3 weeks we will prove that we are the best in the NFC.
