Cowboys-Redskins rivalry WE'RE BACK!

If the Redskins take care of business against Minnesota, it will bring back to life the greatest rivalry in the NFL.

With Dallas losing to Philly, they will have to win out to secure home field, so look for all the starters to play in the final regular season game.

And if the Skins beat Minnesota, there is a wildcard spot on the line for them.

Just like the good old days. 'Boys-'Skins final game of the season with playoff implications on both sides of the ball.

Shaping up to be the game of the year in the NFC East!

Re: Cowboys-Redskins rivalry WE'RE BACK!

All of this is mute if the Saints beat the Eagles this Sunday... I said it in another post, there is NO WAY that the Saints lose to the Bears in Week 17. The Bears are just Horrible!!! If the Saints win out the Skins are done.

Teams to cheer for in Week 16.
1st:Cowboys to beat the Panthers on Saturday, result, they have nothing to play for in Week 17 and rest starters.

2nd: Eagles beat the Saints at 1pm on Sunday, result, Redskins have hope Sunday night.

3rd, Giants get beat by the Bills, result, Giants will lose to the Pats in Week 17, Redskins control their own destiny.

I agree with all but the last. If the Cowboys rest their starters so be it, but what is the point of backing into the playoffs? If you can't beat the Cowboys at FedEx with everything on the line in December then what are you proving by making the Playoffs? If we can manage to beat the Vikings at their place then I say WE WANT DALLAS (and I'll be there is Sec. 434 )

This is what I was hoping for. I wouldn't have it any other way than for both starters to meet each other. It would have been lame for the Cowboys to be resting their starters and the Redskins to beat their "second team" just to eek into the playoffs.

Re: Cowboys-Redskins rivalry WE'RE BACK!

Does anyone know if the Skins-Cowboys game can be switched to Sunday night (sorry if this has already been asked). I saw that there are some restrictions to how many prime-time games a team can play and the Cowboys have already been on a bunch of primetime games.

Yeah, I agree with the previous sentiment. I want Dallas week 17 at home with their starters on the field. I'm getting goose bumps just thinking about the atmosphere in the city the week before that game.

You make the Saints sound unbeatable. They most certainly are beatable and have been beaten 7 times by the likes of the Rams, Panthers, and Texans.

Let's not get ahead of ourselves here. Beating Minn on the road with all the people we have out is going to a real tough thing to do. All I'm thinking about is Minn.

Nope, cannot happen because Dallas has already been scheduled or moved into 7 national market spots this season. That is the maximum allowed. So the Flex Scheduling cannot apply to the Cowboys the rest of the year.

Re: Cowboys-Redskins rivalry WE'RE BACK!

Dallas' problem is that they have a celebrity QB. Remember Parcells' admonition in his "QB Commandments"? We don't need celebrity QB's, we need generals. They're going nowhere. Wade Phillips is a joke. The Rdskins will crush them in the finale. They will fail to make the SB. TO will throw a fit. You could already see him coming unglued against Philly. What a piece of shit he is.

We shouldnt be thinking about this game yet. We still have Minnesota. Their good and its at their place. They have Petersen and the number 1 ranked rushing defense. One game at a time people.

Cowboys will not play starters against the Redskins. (unfortunately) They will not risk injury when they are already in the playoffs.

Re: Cowboys-Redskins rivalry WE'RE BACK!

while i would love to have the Dallas game in December that actually means something, the redskins playoffs actually start this week against Minn. one loss from here on in and its over. but a playoff game against the cowboys at home gives me wood
