Week 1: Redskins vs. Cowboys, Game-Day Thread

also...

As soon as we can pass the ball well... and run the ball well... we'll have a good offense! lol

Agreed, it just struck me how McNabb was able to make things happen when the roof was caving in. He obviously is not the complete answer for success, but I sure as hell like what he can do over his predecessor.

Oh most definitely. I think DMc will def improve as he gets more reps with the WRs. Although, I'd like to see another WR step up. Armstrong could still be it...I just don't think he was the best choice for for those back-to-back play. I hope DT has played his way into the lineup with those good returns.

Still, we're having offensive problems that haven not gone away overnight and somewhat similar to last year. The offense has a lot of work to do, and making a switch at QB is not the only remedy.


I think the offensive line problem is well on its way of being fixed. The big problem that is going to take a season or two more is the WR problem we have. DT did well on returns, but we simply don't have anyone that can catch the ball other than Moss and Cooley. What happened with Seller's hands? Armstrong sucked tonight. We also need to start thinking about really replacing CP in a couple years.

Thanks tryfuuhl... Hmmm... So not playing a player helps "prevent injuries"? Guess I missed the postgame.

basically extended time was causing Brown to strain his hip in the pre-season, etc...

Shanahan also said that Lichtensteiger and Dock was a close competition in preseason, not sure what he saw that I missed, but he was there more..

dude was laid out in the air.. could've lost it in the lights

if he misses on jumping the route then we have more of an issue

sucks that we allowed 2 open passes into the end zone, but Barron had been holding blatantly the whole night

Have you been watching any Redskins games for the past 5 years? If you have you've seen him drop MULTIPLE INTS.

My point wasn't to say Rogers sucks... point was it wasn't all luck... we should have won it long before the hold.

Why don't we turn Davis into a possession receiver? I know he's not a deep threat, but he could be that move the chains guy.

Yeah CP is not the same, he had some good runs...but we gotta think about the future as well. I mean I hope Williams breaks out, but right now we don't have a back of the future.

I agree ... it was definitely more COWBOYS LOSE than REDSKINS WIN... but...

don't forget people....

Game would have been won fair and square if CARLOS ROGERS COULD CATCH!!

Does he need contacts?? Seriously!

On the replay the ball hit his wrist!! It didn't even hit his hands??

So yes... we got lucky on the two plays at the end of the halves... but a cornerback has to catch that INT and the game is over.

Not so sure about the "lucky" part at the end of the game. No question that Romo would have been smeared by Orakpo had he not been held...

Both Rogers and Landry could have ended the game. It's more on Rogers, 'cause he was going up for that ball. Landry was caught of guard, but Romo threw the ball right to his hands.

Rogers officially has the worst hands in NFL history. That ball was gift wrapped and you could see him close his hands before it even hit him. Dude just can't catch for shit.

There is no such thing as the "back of the future" anymore guys.. Backs dont last long, and it's all about NOW...


At ebst a good back lasts 5 years no adays, and Portis is the best back we have, and he's good one.. Anyone could see tonight that Dallas was crushing us up front when it came to the run game, most of our runs they had a blitz called, and Portis had NO room to run...
