The rivalry has become kind of a token rivalry at this point. It certainly doesn't have the same feeling that it did in the '70s and '80s when these teams truly didn't like each other.
Still, the game brings about a little extra attention. It should be an interesting game since it appears no one really wants to step out and win the NFC East.
The Cowboys suffered a significant loss to the Packers last week and the Skins are coming off of their best game of the year against the Broncos. The Skins have looked rejuvenated over the last 6 quarters of football and put up some very good numbers.
As I have mentioned, I do not think the Skins are going to run the table and would almost prefer a solid defeat so that we can pray for needed change in the offseason. However, I actually think the team has a shot in this game. Dallas has given up 22 sacks this year and their O line is beat up so I expect us to get to Romo. Our O line played much better last game. The addition of Levi Jones was a big surprise but he did a number on Dumervil. What does he get as his reward? A good helping of Demarcus Ware. Samuels would always have a problem with Ware so it will be an interesting matchup to watch.
I like that Betts will get the nod again and hopefully he and Cartwright can continue their strong running attack. I like JC and I like that we are mixing in some of the younger guys finally.
Defensively we are solid. The big question will be can we finally stop the big play. Also, who will be lining up at right CB? Rogers consistently bites on the double move and if he is out there, no question the Cowboys run that on him.
The funny thing is that even after all the shenanigans of this season, if the Skins were somehow able to pull out the win, they would find themselves right back in the playoff picture.
Should be fun.
