My prediction

Dallas 20 Washington 14. It will be slug fest in the first half, and the half time score will be 7-7. Dallas will get a touchdown and two-field goals and go up 20-7.

Washington will get a late TD and my blood pressure will hit the roof, but Dallas' Defense will hold up and Dallas wins 20-14.

Welcome perdogg

Always good to see new members, don't forget about adding your own Diary and comments are always open.

I can't believe Anthony Henry is back on the injury list as questionable. We need him going down the stretch. If he doesn't play my blood pressure will go up before the game even starts.

Two minute warning

Here we go again!!!!! Another week, another Division game, another nail biter.I'll be watching the Bolts at the Colts in the early game, should be a good one after the terrible performance the Bolts had against the Dolphins, and after the Chiefs lost yesterday, the Playoffs are in the Bolts site again.
And the Dallas game, why should I even bother watching this garbage, why??? I should just turn the game on when the two minute warning comes up, because we all know thats when the game will be decided anyway, the last two minutes...
But oh, thats right, I love the Cowboys and will be there from the beginning watching this game, every pain staking minute, blood pressure soaring through the roof as the game goes on watching the conservative play calling, which we all fear will happen, plenty of stiff Rum drinks, and will be ready to call 911 when I have a heart attack after I watch Billy Cundiff miss a last second field goal that would give us the win sails wide right.Oh, the stress!!!!!!lol

Deke's ready

Alright Deke, you are good to go for a rivalry game with playoff implications. I'm with ya, I already have that gameday feeling going, can't wait for this one to start.

For some reason, I'm thinking Barber is going to be the star of the game. That's my 'morning of gameday' prediction.

Bledsoe and Glenn

Did anyone see the piece on Bledsoe and Glenn this morning on ESPN? The chemistry between the two is really special, why would we want to mess something like that up by bringing in T.O. or Moss? Hopefully they'll hook up a few times today for some big plays. GO COWBOYS!!

I saw that piece...

Glenn was actually getting choked up when they told him the stuff Bledsoe had said about him. We could use a few big plays from Glenn today, no doubt. This game can't get here fast enough.

San Diego playing well

I dont know if alot of you guys are getting this game, but the Bolts are looking good against the Colts, up 10-0 at the end of the first quarter and are in Mannings face all the time, couple of sacks, lots of pressure and an INT so far. Actually nice to see great tackling after that dismal tackling display yesterday by the Chiefs.

Colts looking ordinary

SD defense is playing off the hook. Merriman is having a good game.

eight minute drive wasted

Sandiego at the half leads the Colts 13-0, but really the game isn't that close, the bolts have controlled the clock and the ball, but when you have over a eight minute drive to score a touchdown to put your team up by three scores and only come away with a field goal, that can come back to bite you in the Azz.That could be the turning point in this game, the second half will tell, The "72" Dolphins surely have the champagne on ice eagerly ready to toast the Bolts if they can hold on to beat the Colts.
