Smoot Lays the Smack Down (Redskins at Cowboys)

After a nights sleep, I still don't know what to think about this game. The cowboys had way over 5 "fumbles" (if you count the bad snaps). Only one went to the redskins. The skins couldn't get anything going offensively, but they did put points on the board and the game's only touchdown. The 3rd and 22 play was unfortunate, but they did an all out bitz and didn't get any pressure: that's going to leave someone open. Defense did well otherwise. The one poor special teams play a game reared its head again, but then Gano hit FGs from all over the place -- even a 50 yarder. I would have felt comfortable getting him in position to win the game.

I'm not going to have a knee jerk reaction (the only one that I did was deleting every facebook friend who was a cowboy) about how this team will do this season. Ugly game, cowboys found a way to win. Redskins didn't capitalize on mistakes. Still plenty of football left.

Next week is a poor Rams team. I think that is more of a test for the 'Skins then tonight was. If they dominate, don't let it be a last second ordeal, I think it bodes well that they can officially take care of bad teams.

Im going to just try not to get fired today.

I might try to. I'm miserable going to my current job anyways. If it paid well enough I'd just go back to cleaning up at an amusement park like I did in high school

Ugh, just woke up, first post without reading anyone else's stuff.

Last night boiled down to 2 main areas for me, redzone offense, and the FG unit which once again found a way to screw up.

Dallas was begging for a loss last night, disappointed we couldn't deliver.

Look, shit happens. One bad play, one bad call. You can't win em all. Not the end of the world. This team will beat the Rams.

The Ravens, The Steelers...lots of really good defenses have been getting torched this year. I know this sounds crazy, but I think we're overreacting to one game.

What? People overreacting? NEVER :-) It was one game, granted it sucks because it is the Cowpukes but it is one game. We learn from it and move on. One thing that is very different about this team than teams the last three to four years is they really have a confidence that they can win. We are headed in the right direction, there will be some bumps along the way but that is part of the game.

We can overanalyze this to death, already are, but we aren't going to change the outcome. Time to drink some coffee and start thinking about St Louis.

Last night was a chance to make a statement and we didn't. Would rather have been 2-1 with the loss coming to Aruzona

This is the best advice i've heard all day. Time to start my day!

I see we're back to normal today. Looks like the usual suspects are out in full force. The bus is pretty crowded underneath it. lol

Agree completely.
If I were the Cowpukes I would be worried about the ineffectiveness of their Red Zone offense. Granted we were not great but neither was Dallas.
