1. Home Field

3. Cold Weather advantage. We practice in it and are used to it. Its December.

4. Better Veteran presence on our team, for a playoff caliber game.

5. SEAN TAYLOR

6. Our team has only been out of 1 game the enitre year, NYG. Check all of our games, as we have been leading or have been driving for the last score.

7. Your O-line with Concrete feet.

8. Your Kickers.

9. Your O-coordinator. LEts not forget why you guys lost last time and his histroy for directing such chaos.

10. Your prevent defense, if needed does only one thing. Prevents your team from winning. Unbelivable to me that we even won last game, but the KC game you guys did it again with that stellar prevent.

1. Home Field - Dallas has beaten the Redskins in Maryland more times than the Redskins have beaten them there.

2. Offense has finally gelled with the running game - For the first time since joining the Redskins, Portis finally put up back-to-back 100 yard performances. But that was agianst the Cardinals who rank in the bottom half of the league in rushing defense, and against the Rams who ranked third from last in the league in rushing defense.

3. Cold Weather advantage - Should be listed as part of home field advantage, but the Cowboys were able to stay in the game in New York in the snow ice and wind. And the weather forecast for Sundays game is not as bad as what was in New York.

4. Better veteran presence for play-off caliber team - Where? On defense yes, but in order to have play-off experience, you had to have made the play-offs in years past. When was the last time that happened in DC? How many players do you have with play-off experience? Dallas made the play-offs 2 years ago and have many of the same players.

5. Sean Taylor- 1 man out of 11, can't cover the entire field alone. Especially with the injuries to your secondary. Sure they may all play on Sunday, but there is no way they are playing at 100%.

6. Our team has only been out of 1 game the enitre year, NYG. Check all of our games, as we have been leading or have been driving for the last score - Same here, of the 5 Cowboy losses it has been by a combined score of 20 points, or 4 points per game.

7. Your O-line with Concrete feet - Thats one for you, I am concerned about the O-line at LT and RT. A rookie to the right and a backup on the left, but they have done pretty good so far, with the exception of one game. If they were that bad and if "Concrete Feet Bledsoe" was that bad, then why is he the 4th highest rated passer in the conference and leading in votes for the Pro Bowl for the NFC. Not to mention he has more completions with less attempts than Mark Brunnel. More yardage too. If he is having a potential pro-bowl season with "Concrete feet", I do not see a problem.

8. Your Kickers - You should do some more homework. If our kicking is that bad then yours is in the toilet. Dallas kicking game is ranked #15 in the NFL and Washingtons is ranked #26. Although just barely, at least we are ranked in the top half of the league. I can't make that arguement for Washington though.

9. Your O-coordinator. Lets not forget why you guys lost last time and his histroy for directing such chaos - Nothing wrong with the O-coordinator, just following the philosphy of the head coach. He has shown he can shoot it out with the best in the league, as eveident on week 1 and week 13. If he was that bad, his name would not be one being mentioned as a probable head coach next year somewhere. Our "D" coordinator is being recruited too.

10. Your prevent defense, if needed does only one thing. Prevents your team from winning. Unbelivable to me that we even won last game, but the KC game you guys did it again with that stellar prevent - Dallas has not run a prevent all year, 3-4, 4-3 and nickel, but not the prevent. When you have as many close games as Dallas (see point #6) a prevent is suicide. That catch by Hall in the closing seconds to set up that last minute field goal I credit to great coaching by Vermiel. He knew with 10 seconds left that our defense would be flooding the sidelines and leave the middle of the field open. He took a chance and it paid off. His kicker let him down. Who can forget that 4th and 24 that the Eagles faced in the play-offs 2 years ago against Green Bay and they converted on the same call and won the game.
