 Not that they aren't playing for anything BS, they played their starters for over a half and Romo's tantrum on the sideline wasn't faked, the cowboys are going to lose big

I see the ads between pages has returned...  :(

On topic: Tell me - precisely what motivation did ANY of the Cowboys have for that game? Besides the 'rivalry', what on earth would propell the top-seed to play 'all out' for a game like this? You want to know how meaningless this game was? I have DirecTv and the Sunday Ticket - get it every year. I've watched every Cowboy game this year (as well as every other game I could flip back-and-forth between)...     ...I realized at 8pm Sunday night that I missed the Cowboy/Redskin game - THAT ought to tell you something.

Big whoop - they played their starters for a little more than a half. How many times have the Cowboys come back from GREATER deficits this year??? Two touchdowns (by the time Romo came out)?!?!?!? LOL!!!!!! You're out of your mind if you're going to judge the entire playoff outcome over that game. And let's not forget that Terrance Newman, our best corner, didn't play one snap in that game. But, I'll humor you - let's analyze this 'streak':

The Skins eeked by a TERRIBLE Bears team in Washington (a team the Cowboys humiliated in Chicago)
You got a split with the Giants (a team the Cowboys beat twice)
The Vikings, probably the most 'impressive' win out of all (oh, and a team the Cowboys also beat)
And then this latest game (discussed above)

That's your streak? That's what you're going to base the Redskin success on???? Do we just ignore the 5-7 record (including a 4 game losing streak) that immediately preceeded this????

Oh my, looking at it this closely, perhaps even I've given them too much credit - they might not get past the Seahawks!!!!

 

 

The Cowboys had a chance to keep the 'Skins out of the playoffs (as long as the Vikings could win).  That's what they were playing for.  They only stopped trying once it was evident that Denver was handling the Vikings.

No one wants to play the Redskins, because it's not an easy win.  Anyone who has watched them play the last few weeks can tell you that they have been looking good on defense and offense.  They're an entirely different team.

But it's all moot.  The Giants own the NFC brackets this year :P
