The Indigenous Racists gonna have to play Baker Jr who throws more picks than even his daddy

It's fun when your team is already in and we're just seeing how it all plays out. I would not be watching GB/MN with any interest if we sucked.... but things being as they are, it will be a good watch.

It certainly beats the CFB bowls... what a disaster that's becoming!

Rams, Seahawks, Vikings, Packers, Saints, Bucs all still in play for the 7 seed. Ideal scenario would be the winner tonight also wins next week, and the Rams beat a SF team that will be resting starters, then we play the winner of tonight's game which will be the weakest possible opponent. Especially if it's the Vikings, give me a playoff game against Nick Mullins all day.

Then have LA upset Detroit and TB beat Philly and you get Baker Mayfield in the divisional round.

Yall need to calm down, we still need to beat Washington ON THE ROAD where we don't play well.

I'm happy to have the opportunity to win the division but let's secure it first

I bet you're fun at parties

I mean…he's got a point. If you've been a Cowboys fan your whole life, you know this is exactly the type of game they go out and lose to an inferior opponent when so much is on the line. Obviously not what I'm cheering for, but it certainly wouldn't be the first time it's happened.

I'm Hella nervous about the game AT Washington. History is history. The better team loses quite a bit in that matchup.

We'll kick the Redskins ass, don't worry.
Cowboys are winning the East.

We've lost like three times against them in the last 8 years with a healthy Dak

I really....

Really really really want to play GB or MN in round 1!

Early line is Cowboys - 13.5 so yeah we're big favorites.

Problem is IDK if I should take Was with the points or not, that is a BIG spread.

We seem to play well there. It's basically a home game as there will be more Cowboys fans there than Redskins fans.

Crazy stuff would happen at old RFK but not so much anymore. If you can't win this game against a sht Washington team with it all on the line just fold up the tents now.

It's effectively a neutral site game these days.

Wash is completely done this year. It should be a gimme win.

Both our game and the Eagles/Giants game got flexed to 4:30 EST Sunday

EDIT- sorry 3:30 CST

Tyler Smith has a full tear of the plantar fasciitis in his foot. Apparently he could have returned to the Lions game but was held out and may still not play against Washington. Supposedly a full tear is better than a partial tear due to lingering pain with a partial.

I don't like our depth at IOL or LB heading into the playoffs.

My brother in-law, who grew up in Virgina and is a Redskin fan, told me that there are a ton of Cowboy fans up there.

Sorry I missed it, but why was Dallas wearing their blue jerseys vs the Lions?

Special occasion? Ring of Honor induction is my guess

I was watching a breakdown of the cowboys o line (I can't find the link, sorry), and on a not insignificant number of running plays, the LG pulls to the left. I'm definitely not an O line guru, but I have never seen a guard pull to his side of the line. Why not just…. block left? Every time they did it, it left a hole and pollard got hit at the LOS

Yeah. It seemed like there was something that was tipping it

To me, it felt like the Lions knew we were running it and knew which side we were running to about 80% of the time.

Not only did their LBs and safeties crash down, but their front 4 all slanted towards the direction we were running it.

Dallas has very predictable run tendencies under MM with respect to game situation, down/distance and location on the field.

For example, on 2nd and 5 or less inside their own 35 Dallas runs inside zone or counter to the left almost 50% of the time. So effectively 2 plays (albeit from different formations) account for HALF of all plays they run in the most common 2nd down situation in football (given you get the ball on your own 25 after a touchback and the average 2nd down distance is just over 5 yards).

Now to be fair the Cowboys passing scheme is far less predictable and more complex under him this year. They really mix it up especially with respect to where Ceedee lines up and what routes he runs. But the running game no working this year has a lot less to do with Pollard, and even somewhat less to do with blocking, than most think. Teams are really able to get a feel for what Dallas wants to do and stop it.

I should have just fired up the Googletoobs on this one.

No special occasion, Jerruh has simply decided they're going to start wearing the blue jerseys at home more often.

Corum to Dallas in 2nd round if he's there?

I like Edwards better.

I'd like Corum.

Seems like a great everydown back. Good vision, good toughness… let's go!

3rd round though

DT/LB for 1st/2nd… Kris Jenkins son.. he is Michigan but he's also Kris Jenkins son

He has a nose for the end zone. Unlike Pollard in Miami

I don't think Corum is bad btw. He's great and I would take him on my team. I just like Edwards as a pro back more. That's all.

Good. Blue and silver looks way better than white and seafoam

Corum screams Mike Hart to me. I freaking loved Mike Hart. His pro career was bad… I think bc of injuries mainly, but I still believe in Corum.
