(Mega Merged Thread) Redskins-Dallas Game

We all know it'll be a stomach-turning, last minute nailbiter, in a 4 o'clock game in December at FedEx, Cowboys vs Redskins, Gibbs vs Parcells, with playoff implications. I just hope we have enough gas in the tank to come up big in the 4th quarter, when this game will be decided.

yeah we can't get tired in the fourth. I view this as an even matchup, and i feel like the difference will be the fans. if we can get loud, we can disrupt their offense, and motivate our defense.

thanks for the memo. unfortunately, if you focus on just stopping portis, you'll end up getting hurt by moss. you can't key in on both, because we all know how good roy williams is in coverage. we might even use the ol' flea flicker on you, see how well the cowgirls respond to it.

I seem to remember something like that happening the last game. Hmm

Injuries or not I'll be at the game screaming my head off everytime Dallas has the ball. 12th man will be in attendance! Dallas should be favored and on paper should win this game, but I'll go out on a limb and pick the Washington Redskins to keep their slim playoff hopes alive! GO SKINS and let's get REAL loud Sunday!!!

Ramseyfan, I'm with you man. If we had all starting corners I would REALLY like our chances. But with the possibility of ALL of them being out, I don't feel as optimistic.

The again, barring EXTREME pain, I wouldn't think you could KEEP them out of this game.

Considering the team is not looking at additional secondary, I have to believe at least a couple of the corners will be available. This game will come down to turnovers and a big play. Whichever team gets no turnovers and that one big play will take this game. I do think they are going to try and get someone we don't expect to be a big contributor who will be our Patrick Crayton from last year, hopefully jacobs does step up and can get over the top and becomes our surprise big play man. I think the players realize the importance of the game and will play through injuries unless they are hurting the team.

I want the Redskins to come out throwing. We need to put that defense on it's heels quick and change their gameplan.

Defense is where this gets tricky! Do we drop lots of people back to cover those receivers, or do we go after Bledsoe likes he's a 30 year old statue QB? Personally I'd bring pressure and hope to force mistakes rather than let our defensive line get pressure.

Brunell has got to take advantage of Roy William's tendencies this week and abuse him. If he plays the run, check to a pass and if he blitzes, throw the quick hitter to Moss or Cooley. Anyone know if Thrash will be availabe to play? We really need him. He was big in Week 2.

I think Rogers will play, just sounds like a muscle strain. Springs I'm very worried about, though.

I think this is the week Gibbs bust out a trick play or two. Remember the 1992 playoffs, fake punt on a direct snap to Brian Mitchell? When it's a must-win game, that's when Gibbs starts pulling out the tricks. I think we're going to need to hit a big play like that to take this game.

I think we'll have a mediocre running day. I think our O-Line will be really fired up, but so will the Dallas D. It's going to take a contribution from Taylor Jacobs, a trick play or a big special teams play, and solid play from Jimoh (we're going to need him, whether as a starter or as a nickel).

Or we could just dominate the turnover battle. Let's go Sean Taylor, time to step up big boy!

Taylor has definitely been laying the wood on some people. I agree about Rogers, I think he'll be able to play. I'll be on pins and needles until tomorrow when we see the injury report.
