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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

Problem? Problem? 12 wins to 2 losses, Clinched the division, Clinched a first round bye. A win this week clinches home field. The HC is 12-2 in his first season. 11 players selected to the Pro Bowl. Highest rated QB in the conference. Highest ranked offense in the conference.

Sorry I just do not see a problem.

And you can forget about that T.O. crap. Everybody everywhere has been saying for 2 years that same thing. But all evidence to the contrary, Owens has stepped up as a leader on this team. He has been a model team mate, he is extremely active in the charitable arena in the Dallas area, but you are not allowed to see those things on Sportscenter.

Yes, and he led the NFL in dropped passes last year.

And leads the NFC in reception yards, yards per catch, yards per game and, oh yeah....receiving touchdowns.

THIS YEAR!
