What does everyone think of Miles Austin's long term future with our team? I think he's a solid #2 receiver, but maybe slightly overpaid.

if miles austin doesn't restructure his contract he will be gone next season

Tomorrow is my birthday and I'm going to the game. The Cowboys have to win, right??

That's good luck man, I went on my birthday and we beat the Steelers so I am sensing a win here too! Honestly I think if Murray has a big game we'll win. He has to be involved heavily and be ready for a workhorse type of game. Let's not get into a total shootout and try to control the clock, every time we are running the ball well our play-action plays always result in big points.


I feel like this is a big game for the division going forward. RGIII is already going to be hell to face, but if we let him win the division as a rookie it'll be a very long next 10 years as they start to get some of their picks back. Romo, Murray, Dez all probably have to play huge games and be prepared to score 30 points.


31-27 is where I'm leaning towards now. I think everyone saying how we fold in week 17 games all week will due us some good in this game.

Another stat I love is Dan Bailey has only missed 2 kicks this year at 28/30, both were over 53 yards. If we line him up anywhere inside of 50 yards it's automatic. I love knowing that in a close game he is so reliable, I just hope it sustains and he's not a flash like Nick Folk.

While I agree that if Murray is involved heavily, the numbers don't lie that we win more often than not. Some announcer mentioned this the other day and made me think. They said why not spread it out like we did in the 2nd half of the first meeting. I'm not saying that we should do that, but it made me think that it's not a bad idea either.

Defensively, last meeting we were able to get pressure on Bob and we need to again. I do believe they'll run on us pretty easily though. We just have to contain them in key downs.

The one he missed in Baltimore was 51 yards....had the distance, wide left.


Just pull out a win today Cowboys...please?

haha, I usually enjoy watching other teams play but when we have the Primetime slot in a game like this time just seems to crawl.

Happy Birthday btw, should be an awesome environment at the game.

[E-Man]

I'm really hyped up for the game tonight. I wish it was at 3 instead. I hate waiting so long for night games.

[LonghornsLegend]

I feel strangely confident we win. Maybe this team has really fooled me, but I haven't had this type of confidence in a win in a very long time. This doesn't seem like a mentally weak team, and even with who the defense has lost I'm feeling like the O picks it up.


What a season if we could win the division, get a home game, then beat the team nobody wants to play now in Seattle. Those 2 wins could go a long way toward making a serious run next year.

I hope your right but I'm feeling pretty pessimistic about it. Cant see how we are going to stop the run and with D Ware being VERY limited, I just cant see it. I know we will score some points but at the end of the day I see us losing unfortunatly. Man I hope Im wrong!!!

[D-Unit]

I think we lose in horrible fashion actually. 42-17 or something like that.

[leroyisgod]

GO AWAY!!!! No negative Nancy's allowed around here!!!

Why is Romo and Oggs always on the wrong page???

2 INTs for Romo... We can't be having this kind of game... Hopefully, the Romocoaster still has some highs in him left in this game. So far it's been a downer.

[pocketaces]

Yup we don't need tony turnover. Fortunately it's still 0-0

[D-Unit]

Thank goodness our walking dead defense has bailed out both of Romo's interceptions.

[pocketaces]

Miles hurt. What else is new

[LonghornsLegend]

Dwayne Harris can play the #2 role just fine so I hope we go with him here. He played that most of the Redskins game with Beasley in the slot and we moved the ball well. I just don't want to see Ogletree out there anymore.

[E-Man]

They got away with one there. lol

[pocketaces]

There is the D I was afraid of. Need to go answer and we get the ball first after the half

[LonghornsLegend]

If we can get a TD here and at least 3 coming out of the half we could give ourselves a chance to run the ball and shorten up the possessions. With our D we just can't get into a shootout.
