Week 8 MNF: Washington Redskins (2-5) @ Dallas Cowboys (6-1)

There's smoke around this game in the media that Robert Griffin III is going to start, not Colt McCoy.

Not sure how likely that is, but something to watch for.

They pointed at this game when he first got hurt, and again said it was a strong possibility before last week. He seems to be moving around well in practice but Gruden said he's not playing unless he's 100%, and considering recent past he'd be a fool to not stick to that. And with that said, I don't think he can be 100% by Monday.

They were highlighting his chance of a full practice today as a big sign on the decision so we should know more by tomorrow.

I don't think it'd be too much of a difference if RGIII played after seeing how the D did against Wilson.

Seattle doesn't have the weapons around the QB that Washington does (as strange as that may sound). That offense really needs the line to block and Lynch to hulk out for everything else to fall into place. Simplifying but my point is RG3 wouldn't need to do as much as Wilson was asked to do against Dallas if he does play.

But most importantly, RG3 >>> Colt McCoy anyway.

RGIII is still questionable. The last I heard.

Definitely. I'd actually be surprised if he played. But if he did, it'd make a difference (despite the Boys job they did on Wilson).

Without him I'd say the Boys win by 14. With him, I'd say they win by 7. I'd say that makes a difference. Dallas still has to prove that they are a winning team in December. They've still got November to worry about. Upcoming, they have Arizona, Eagles, and Colts. Very tough opponents there. I'd say they go 14-2. If not that then, 12-4.

Take it one game at a time. Do not get too far ahead of yourself. This is what every Cowboys fan should be thinking right now.
