It always feels good to beat the Redskins!...lol. I'm not going to analyze the game, I'm just going to enjoy the win. I certainly hope that Murray and Ware heal up ASAP.
The game last night was almost a must win for the Cowboys. Had they lost, the season would have soon followed. Dwayne Harris really made the difference on his special team kick returns. The offense seemed to struggle after Murray went out of the game but the 2 big special teams plays and the one defensive turnover inside the 5 kept the pressure off the offense to do anything other than convert on short fields and don't make any stupid mistakes.
Hopefully they can continue the solid defense and special teams play next week because I don't expect to see Murray or Ware for a month!
I find it interesting that they haven't officially said anything yet. A report said ware is out 3-4 weeks but nothing official from the team. Murray's status hasn't be known at all. Jay Glazer said Ware should be out 1-2 weeks but Murray should play this Sunday and Glazer is usually on the money.
IMO, Murray is more important than Ware. I think the mantle has been passed from Ware to Lee on the Cowboys defense. Lee is the most important player on the defense now. Ware will get his QB pressures and sacks but Lee is the motor of the defense.
Now without Murray, the offense becomes very 1 dimensional if it is NOT already. The Cowboys need Murray and a real good ground game vs the Eagles more than any other team to control the ball and clock and keep the Eagles offense on the sidelines..
To all those Eagle fans who were bragging about "leading" the division (when in actuality, they were just TIED for first) for the last couple weeks... you can shut up now.
The Lions lost today to the Bengals by 3. Hopefully we will go to Detroit next week and handle business. I hope.
NFL.com saying its an ugly win today but its a win regardless.
Ugly for the Eagles maybe..
When your defense holds the other team to only 3 points.. yea, that's UGLY for them NOT the Cowboys!
Besides, its a divisional game which is even more important. I would rather win a 17-3 ugly game than loose a 51-48 game for the ages!
I've got a friend who's a die hard Broncos fan, and she says they're headed for the SB - I said, "Fine, we'll take a rematch; 51-48 would be the most exciting SB ever!"

I agree. I don't care if the final score is 3-2, it's always good to beat the Eagles...lol.
