The Dallas Cowboys take on the Washington Redskins tonight in Washington. To me, this is a must win game due to what is on the line ,and the momentum they are carrying off of their big win at the hands of the unbeaten New Orleans Saints 24-17 last Saturday. A loss would be devastating to both their playoff hopes and their psyche.
Tony Romo and the Cowboys hope to be smiling after tonight in Washington.
Dallas is 9-5 and right in the thick of both a wildcard spot and they even have a good shot at winning the NFC East. But they need to beat their division rival tonight in Washington. If the Boys win and the Giants lose to Carolina, Dallas would be in the playoffs. Dallas can pull off the NFC East if they win out and beat the Eagles in the final week. So there is a lot on the line for the Dallas Cowboys tonight.
Dallas looked great in their victory over the Saints and got great play from their quarterback Tony Romo. They add no turnovers and held the vaunted New Orleans Saints offense to their lowest output of the season. This is the momentum that you want to carry into the final weeks of the regular season and into the playoffs if you are fortunate to be there. Add this to the fact that their opponent the Redskins looked about as awful as you could look last Monday in their defeat at the hands of the Giants 45-12. The boys must win and carry their momentum.
I think the Cowboys will take out the Redskins and put themselves in a great position for the playoffs and set up a potential big game next week at home against the Eagles for the NFC East. Momentum will be carried tonight in Washington.
The New York Giants will be taking on the Washington Redskins tonight and is a must win if they want any chance of playing playoff football in January. If they were to lose tonight, they would need to win their last two games, need a lot of help, pull out some tiebreakers to get in. The Giants hope this is one of three straight victories they need to end the season to give them the best chance for the playoffs. The Giants would face Carolina next week and finish up in Minnesota. They have their work cut out for them to say the least.
The Giants and Tom Coughlin are in a must win tonight in Washington if they want to see the playoffs.
The Giants are currently 7-6 after starting off 5-0. They never thought they would be in a must win situation after week 13. There was a lot of talk about the GMEN being invincible after that start and now they find themselves fighting their playoff lives. It is a long season in the NFL ,and there are so many factors that can turn a promising season into a failure in a drop of a dime.
Last week the Giants dropped a shootout to their division rival Philadelphia Eagles 45-38. The Giants out gained the Eagles, but it was the big plays by the Eagles on offense and special teams that did the Giants in. One bright spot for the Giants was the play of their quarterback Eli Manning. Manning was 27-38 with 391 yards and three touchdowns. Maybe Eli can bring that momentum into Washington and make the Giants winners tonight.
To add to the Giants worries, the Redskins are playing good football right now and are coming off a impressive 34-13 victory in Oakland last week. Their playoff chances have been over for awhile, but they have been still playing with pride and passion. The Skins would love to win their last three games. This would not only give them momentum for next season but might save the job of their head coach Jim Zorn. Zorn needs these last three victories to give him a shot to be around next season. This game should be a old fashion knockout between to rivals in the NFC East on a Monday night in the Nation’s Capital.
The New Orleans Saints will hope to stay unbeaten and make it to 14-0 as they take on the Dallas Cowboys in front of their home crowd tonight. The Saints will hope fortune continues to shine down on them as they tempt fate and try to stay perfect. Last week, they held off a pesky Atlanta Falcons team and pulled out a 26-23 victory. The Saints will need to play better if they are poing to stay perfect, because the Boys have a lot on the line tonight.
Dallas is currently 8-5 and one game behind the Philadelphia Eagles in the NFC East and this victory would not only vastly increase their playoff chances but could give them the confidence they would need to make a serious playoff run. The Saints will need to play inspired as the Cowboys have just as much to play for tonight in New Orleans.
Drew Brees and the Saints hope to go to 14-0 tonight against Dallas.
The Saints have a legitimate shot at pulling off the next three victories thanks to their great quarterback Drew Brees. Brees knows that this opportunity does not come often and is a chance to make NFL history. He will pull out all the stops and will certainly hold nothing back in hopes of keeping the streak alive and hampering the playoff chances of the Dallas Cowboys. I love his attitude as you should always play to win no matter what. If you are a true competitor, you can’t just shut down the drive to win. Brees has passed for 3832 yards with 32 touchdowns and has a incredible passer rating of 112.3. He will bring his A game tonight. Dallas Beware!
After tonight the Saints have Tampa Bay at home and finish their season in Carolina. If they get a victory tonight, I think the Saints will Brees in the last two to make it a perfect 16-0 regular season. I am routing for Saints so the city of New Orleans can truly celebrate something special in the Big Easy.
The Saints pulled off a remarkable victory over the Washington Redskins yesterday to keep their hopes alive for a perfect season. They trailed the entire game and by ten in the fourth quarter. They tied the game and eventually won it in overtime. They had no business winning the game, but you have to be lucky to be 12-0 at this stage in the NFL season. One question comes to mind; Can they win their next four games and be perfect.
Their next game is at Atlanta. Atlanta has injuries to Matt Ryan and Michael Turner; so they will be hard pressed to beat a good and fortunate team like the Saints. From there it is Dallas at home. The home cookin’ will be something to see as they go for 14-0 against America’s team on a Saturday night. It they win that one, they have Tampa Bay at home and that should produce another victory that could put them one victory from perfection. Their last game is at Carolina. This is a game that intrigues me to say the least. How much will the Saints have left in their tank if they are still unbeaten?
I think the Saints have a better than average shot to pull off a undefeated season. They have a great quarterback in Drew Brees and seem to have lady luck on their side. It would make for a great story in the land of Mardi Gras. Imagine the partying that will go on in the Big Easy if the Saints pull off a perfect season. The Miami Dolphins could have company in that respect. It makes the NFL season that much more interesting down the stretch.
