Week 15: Redskins vs Cowboys Gameday thread

Haha yeah its tough being a football fan sometimes. As a giants fan you have very little to complain about though.

I lived through 1 "miracle in the Meadowlands"....no need to christen the new place.


Take your bitch tears somewhere else, I am sure there is a Giant fan site crying the blues this morning that will hold you until you can get your skirt back on and dry your tears.

Redskins won that game in every facet but the scoreboard. Cowboys did not deserve a "W" with that second half performance yesterday.

I know the Cowboys have struggled in the red zone offensively all year. But the Redskins defense did a great job in the first half holding the Cowboys to only one TD and field goals when the Cowboys starting field position was INSIDE that Redskins 30.

Dallas should not have won that game. They got lucky. I am disgusted.

I get pure joy in watching Tom Coughlin looks so bitter. He must be one miserable SOB to be around.

Well the way the Skins played in the 1st half was a JOKE also, both teams are what they are, not very good lol :food-smil

Sorry I must correct you,they played well for ....53 mins.....but as they are learning this morning the game is 60 mins long.

Was it really that the Giants caved or that MV just decided to run more? This game reminds me of our Dallas game (Brunell to Moss twice game) except this game was early and everyone was still up to see the ending.

My 100th post (obviously not significant for anyone but me!) was trying to console a giants fan. Another reason to hate the Gmen.

I have my doubts about Locker. However as Tripp pointed out to me earlier in the week Locker is very similar to Jay Cutler coming out of Vanderbilt. A physically talented signal caller with a terrible supporting cast, only real difference is that Locker has great straight line speed. Personally I think this is the guy they're targeting. Shanahan liked him a lot last year (almost as much as Bradford) and this was when Locker would have been all but guaranteed to be the top pick in the draft.

Mallet to me seems like a safer pick and reminds me a lot of Matt Schuab which given Kyle Shanahan's experience in Houston can only be a good thing. However that lack of mobility in an offense where bootlegs are a staple kind of worries me. My other concern is that with Luck all but certain to stay another year that he could get picked before we go on the clock. It's not that I'm dead set on having Mallet but I would like to have options. Either way I'm impressed. He did a good job of continuing his development as a passer

Newton is my least favorite as he comes from a spread option offense. I've personally described him as Tim Tebow with a smooth delivery. He also doesn't seem to have the best head on his shoulders. The guy was kicked out of Florida for steeling laptops and the only thing I know about his support structure is he has a father that put his sons eligibility and college education on the line by asking schools for money. I mean if thats the father then what does the rest of his support group look like? Basically he's the last person I want to give millions of dollars to.

On top of that he runs to much for my liking. His passing numbers are efficent but when you rely on your legs to the tune of a 1,000 yards rushing I'm inclined to doubt how well you can throw the ball at the next level.

My only real stake in Newton is having him as a buffer that helps insure the Skins get to pick between Mallet and Locker.

Luck is a pipe dream whenever he comes out. The best we can hope for as it relates to Luck is that he ends up in the AFC because come playoff time he's one of the last QB's I want to see.

Good points, but lets not forget that Newton was the nations number one rated passer. He also threw for 29 touchdowns. Doing that against the competition he faced week in and week out is quite impressive.

Goodcall, I forgot the meltdown started with about 7 minutes left. And for some reason players forgetting the game is 60 minutes is a recurring theme over the years, I remember a certain Cowboys team playing a dominating game for 55 minutes back in 2005, and then two Santana Moss bombs later they lost the game, and that game turned into a catalyst for our season lol. Sucks for you guys but as Redskins fans we know all about historic days against the Redskins in recent seasons.

He really looks unstoppable, I look forward to the nat'l championship game. If he has a big game his stock may rise like V. Young when they beat USC. At the same time, I'm sure some teams will remember the V. Young hype & proceed w/caution.

Newton has the form & touch of an nfl passer, much more so than Young did in college. If he didn't have the personal issues, I think at this point he would be in the discussion for best player in the draft.
