Re: Who's Dallas Going to Play on Sunday?
Honestly I'm not sure it would matter who Dallas plays and for how long, if only because of the way the Cowboys will prepare for this game and the mindset of the players coming in to it.
The players know this is basically a preseason game for them and they're just not going to come in to this game hungry and ready to go for a full 4 quarters. Meanwhile for the Redskins the entire season is on the line.
At this time of year the team that needs the game more typically wins. And I think a lot of that is due to the mental aspect of the game. If a team doesn't need the game, they just don't approach the game in the same manner.
The Skins should be fired up and ready to rock in this one, and Dallas could come out flat. That's no fault to them though, they've earned the right to rest their starters.
If the Skins were in the same situation, I would fully expect Gibbs to maybe play the starters for a series or two and then pull them out. No need to risk any key injuries.
