If we're going to win it's because they have esentially the same team that we beat LAST year. How have they truly improved from last year to this year? I think that aside from our injuries, we match up pretty well AGAIN this year.

Last year we didn't really "match up" that well with them. They beat us in Dallas, and we needed a series of pretty spectacular and improbable special teams plays to beat them in FedEx. This Dallas team is quite a bit better than last years...

I think their D this year is a little better, Romo is better, and I think good health and Parcells NOT being there is helping that team more than anything. It is essentially the same group of players, but they're having fun and playing more loose this year. Maybe Parcells was too tough on them???

Yup. I can't believe I am giving props to Dallas, but they've improved on the field even if they haven't on paper. They are likely going to go deep on us. With Taylor in the game, we can play the deep ball and limit screens and runs to limited gains. With Taylor out, I fear that we are going to have to either surrender the deep ball or allow Marion Barber and Witten to eat us up with big gains on screens and runs.

It's going to be a shoot-out and, thus, Dallas gets the edge.

I agree- a shootout indeed. I think their passing game is gonna be too much for our banged up secondary, but if we let 'er rip we can score 4 TDs.

I have no reason other than my heart beating to Hail to the Redskins to really believe the Skins are going to win tomorrow, and yet I do. I hear Coach Parcells ranting in the background "You are what your record says" but aren't the Skins about more than just blown opportunities and close calls? They are also bringing in a running game, or did I not just see Clinton Portis go for a buck thuddy-seven on the Eagles? And I'll take my chances with JC, I agree if he gets a couple more opportunities to hit the deep ball he'll start completing a few.

But now that Lloyd's out, who will Campbell overthrow the deep ball to now? Give me that cup, I mean we're not going to let an injury to James Thrash throw us off our game, are we? And I think Doughty and Prioleau can do good with a week of being, to borrow a phrase "coached up." I mean I think Gibbs should institute yoga or pilates, c'mon five starters with hamstring injuries? Wait, Kool Aid kicking in, GW is going to actually coach this week, and Landry is coming along. I think we will bring a sense of urgency, since we've played better, occasionally, than a 5-4 team.

F it all, HTTR!
