Skins vs. Cowboys Part II

So any thoughts on the Skins - Cowboys game on Sunday ? Will the Cowboys sit starters and go through the motions, or will they want to knock their longtime rival out of the playoff picture ? I don't expect to see much of Tony Romo, but Brad Johnson is certainly capable of playing well enough to lead Dallas to a win. I just think that the Redskins are going to take this one and head out to Seattle for a 1st Round Playoff game next weekend.

 

Boys are going to rest their big players...Skins win....

 

I realize no playoff implications are at stake for the Cowboys and they want to rest their players but I still want to see them play a great game and beat the Redskins. As a fan who doesn't get to see all the Cowboys games I want to make it count when I do!

 

I always hate when the teams have locked up their playoff spot and give a null effort in their final games or not use their starters. I realize there is good reason for such but it really sucks when other teams are depending on their help. Three years ago the Saints were in the playoffs with a Philly win but since Philly had locked up all they could for the postseason, the starters didn't play and they lost what should have been a cake game (they lost their final 2 after going 13-1). This year of course despite my hatred for the Cowboys, my Saints need their win (and a few other things too, but a Redskins loss being key). Of course if I were a Redskins fan then I'd might be saying just the opposite in that the Skins need Cowboys help too

 

I'm hoping the Skins pull out a victory. I'll be there today, rain or no. The Cowboys are saying they have something to play for: a 14-win season would be a franchise record. And even if they sit Romo, Brad Johnson certainly has motivation whenever he plays the Skins.

 

Well, that turned out well.
