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.
