Not many people like the Cowboys' chances on Monday against the Redskins. But so what?
For Cowboys fans, there is one positive thing about playing on Monday Night, ten days after the Thanksgiving game: It allows you more time to get your hopes up about the Cowboys again.
After all the woe-is-us chanting following Tony Romo's injury and the loss against the Panthers last week, talk among many Cowboys fans quickly turned towards the woesome state of the NFC East and the fact that the Cowboys are just two games out of the division lead - and have a chance to close that lead to just one game with a win in Washington and a Jets win over the Giants.
