Cowboys vs Skins: Pre-Game thread

I would take their defense over the skins defense, especially their defensive coordinator. I think the skins keep it close for a half and the Cowboys pull away in the third quarter.

Ehhh... that defense looks okay right now, but it's because of the offense. They're just facing fewer plays this year. Remember how bad they were last year? Check out these stats:


They're allowing the same number of yards-per-play as last year: 6.1.

They don't have a good pass rush, with 6 sacks on the year. Considerably worse than last year, when they finished with 34.

They're on pace for 1 more turnover than last year, with a team turnover ration of -1(granted, quite a bit better than us).

Their opposing team's 3rd down conversion percentage(42%)is the same as our opponent's, and only slightly lower than theirs last year(43%).


Sorry, not impressed. Although I would say Marinelli is doing a solid job considering the kind of talent they have.

The only thing that has me holding out hope is that the Skins would have had a chance at least for another win or two if it weren't for all the turnovers by Cousins. If Colt can come in and manage the game, let DJax and Garcon make some big plays, our D shows up like they should for a rival, we minimize the penalties, and not give up anything big on ST, well we might stand a chance. Those are a lot of ifs . . .

Another big day for Cobra Kai!

Redskins - 26
Cowboys - 24

Classic Redskins vs. Cowboys game. They are not going to run on us. Redskins win.

Skins prime times record has been abysmal. I don't have a good feeling about this one.

lets hope its this close..

For sure. The Skins can beat the JV but this week they are playing the Varsity. You wont have to stay up late Monday Night.

They are tackling better. Doesnt show up in the stat lines. They are being coached above and beyond their talent level. Haslett doesnt even know what that means, and he never has.

They can beat the freshman. Not the JV.

Zorn and Spurrier beat the Cowboys?

I hope our guys have more.....chutzpah than many of our posters who have already thrown in the towel before the first snap. These guys are good but....any given day.
AND......as long as there is breath in my lungs I would never give up on the B & G against the boys. Skins get their Sierra together and deliver an upset
Skins 31
Boys. 21

If the majority of the start of the season is any sign of their chutzpah than no,.....they do not.
In no way giving up on them. Will certainly not be wearing Dallas colors or rooting for them on Monday but EVERYTHING about this game point to an absolute disaster. Anyway- lets go Any Given Monday.
