Dallas Cowboys at Washington Redskins Preview

The Dallas Cowboys won in December and we are all back on the bandwagon (myself included) after holding on to beat the New Orleans Saints. The game would have been a lock, but Nick Folk missed another chip shot that would have put the Cowboys up by 10. So instead we all had to bite are nails while Drew Brees and the Saints tried to tie the game up, but the Dallas defense was up to the task. This week the Cowboys told Nick to Folk off and have replaced him with Shaun Suisham who was cut from the Washington Redskins after missing a kick against the Saints in week 13. Have no fear though he is 18 of 21 on the season unlike Folk who is 18 of 28. And all of you Romo haters out there, you must realize that the jedi powers have returned, seriously would you want to even play real money poker with him right now? I think not.

This Week
The Cowboys will play the hated Washington Redskins at FedEx Field, and it will be interesting to see which Redskins team shows up on Sunday. Will it be the team that was blown out by the Giants or the team that lost to New Orleans by only 3? The Dallas Cowboys need to win regardless, because if they lose the win over New Orleans will be meaningless. Hopefully the Cowboys can play the way they did last week, which is the best I have witnessed for a long time.
