It's DALLASS WEEK 2013 (Part 1)!!!

[skinsfaninok]

if u look at our schedule really the hardest games left are DENVER , KC AND SF. Other than those 3 it's not that hard

I have no doubt RG will improve as the season goes on (barring injury of course), but that's my worry with this game. Not sure a two week break is what RG needed, isn't it harder to shake the rust off with another break from live action?

I think it's just the opposite. It's like the 4th preseason game. The players have a chance to reset before the season. My expectation is that Griffin wasn't thrilled with his play the first 4 weeks, and took time outside of the pressure of week to week football to self scout his play. And the extra week puts him on par now for the later dates of when he would have come back.

I think he was making small strides each week, and the national stage will set up nicely for him and the Skins as a whole.

^^^ this would be right in line with RGs work ethic and talent. Just not sure he can get there as quickly with that knee still in the back of his mind. If he does tho it's a big testament to his will and drive.

I don't really think we'll win this game, especially if Romo plays as well as he did against Denver. But if we do win, I will be very happy. Our record will be 2-3, with Chicago coming next. After that is Denver, but then comes a string of three straight winnable games: San Diego, Minnesota, and Philadelphia. So, if we win this game, 6-4 isn't impossible when we play San Francisco. After SF, is the Giants, Chiefs, Falcons, Cowboys, and Giants. At least one of the last five will be a loss. So if it plays out like I hope it will, our record will be 10-6; most likely good enough to win the division. If we lose to both the Chiefs and Falcons, we need to win the rest of our division games so if it comes down to the divisional tiebreaker, we still have a shot. This is all speculation, though, as any of these games could turn out differently.

This is a very important game. If we lose, the playoffs are all but out of reach. If we do lose, how many of you think the playoffs are a possibility?

What makes you think this team can beat Philly in Philly? I don't see any guarenteed wins on our schedule. We barely beat Oakland with Flynn as the QB and an injured McFadden.

Well, I mean, the Giants.

There are no guaranteed wins if the Redskins don't show up, but the Giants aren't going to pull away from anyone this season. You can play three crappy quarters against them and still win.

True, but we could easily get beat by NY, just as we could easily beat them. It's not like we could just show up and beat them.

Well, we'll be at full strength. That means this team talent wise will be at its best, this Sunday.

I'm actually gonna go out to The Greene Turtle to watch this one. I love going to the sports bar to watch a Skins game, even if it's in Ravens country.

I am a little concerned that the Boys DID drop 48 points on Denver. But I think this is a must win for us, at least division wise, I'd love to see a tight game with another miracle outcome win on the last play like a few years ago.

Our defense can handle those cowgirls. We are the beasts of the East.

Screw them, we will go down there and smoke those fools out. Just like last year, but more like game 2 at FedEx then the thanksgiving day beat down.

That's what 12 year old me would say.

Of course I am now 35 so I have a little different view on football.

I am hoping to see a more polished team coming out of the gate after the bye. If they can win the turnover battle and run the ball well, there is a good chance for a W. Wouldn't hurt for Romo to have a bad game too; hopefully our D-Line can influence that. I look for Haslett to bring it from all angles and for Alfred Morris to have a big game.

Skins win a close one...
