Redskins vs Cowboys Gameday Thread

[GusFrerotte]

The handwriting was on the wall when we couldn't punch it in from the get go, then the offense sputtered. You just knew all it would take was Dallas getting the ball last. Note to Skins players. Please keep your mouth shut for Dallas week. Walk the walk before you talk the talk. Why were any of you that surprised by Grossman sucking? And that is what really gets me! The media figured this was going to happen and the 2-0 start got most of us on the Kool Aid again. Rex is going to have good games then some stinkers. I sure hope we draft a solid QB next year. Actually we need 2. Maybe keep Rex to help the rooks along. Beck has no future as a starting NFL QB, let him go.

Oh well.. It's not like we were going 16-0 this year.. Let's bounce back with a win next week...

Did we watch different games?

Probably wouldnt have all out blitzed that third time when romo scrambled and threw it to dez but its all hinesight... Rex needs to be smarter he knew spencer was coming.

Defense gets an A... rex not so much. rest of the offense was good.

The inevitable late defense collapse. Depth.. Depth.. Depth.. We need to use it.

Why is it Grossmans fault? If the OL would give him better protection or had receivers ran routes that would give Grossman a man to throw to when under pressure.

On the last drive you could blame Banks for not simply downing the ball in the endzone to give them a few more seconds plus the ball at the 20. Blame Brown for false starting.

Blame K.Shanahan for not using more roll outs to give Grossman more time. Not calling more screen plays to beat the rush. I don't think I saw one slant. which would have gotten the ball beyond the LB's and DL.

But instead it's easier to blame Grossman. Beck would not have been better. McNabb would have walked up to the LOS everytime eating up the clock or he would have wanted to huddle.

I'm not saying Grossman is Dan Morino I'm just saying he's our best option right now. This game was a piss poor game plan from the start. They should have used screens everytime the defense rushed to slow them down and or used slants to Moss. Did they ever say what happened to Armstrong? after the half he came out with out pads and stayed out of the game.

yeah, you guys clearly have a great team. btw, i think your center just snapped it right into Romo's nuts again.

I'm not going to rip anyone for this loss. I think all out blitz on 3rd and 21 is generally not a smart thing to do, but that doesn't mean it was a horrible idea against the opponent. Gotta get a hit on the QB.

The offense was thoroughly dominated tonight, but its not any one person's fault. Rob Ryan called a really good game. Trent Williams played really well. Jammal Brown and Chris Chester, not so much. Fred Davis was quiet. Jabar Gaffney had some mental errors. We lost our deep threat to injury in the first quarter. A rookie kicker hit six FGs. Our MVP (Most Valuable Punter) cold dropped a snap.

Dallas' offense kept us in the game in the second half with a litany of mistakes, but for the most part, they came out at half and dominated us on both sides of the football. Again, it's not any one persons fault.

Based on this game, I think we know what kind of team we are. At full health, we're a decent team. We can hang with the Cowboys, and perhaps any other team on our schedule minus the Patriots. If we play .500 ball from here on out, that's 9-7.

O-line has to get called out on this one -- they couldn't open up a running lane for jack sh*t.

Thanks for the memo. Good thing you didn't waste any time showing up to make that important declaration.

[Big C]

another key stat: dallas fumbled 7 times, we recovered 1. 1 out of 7.

[Gtothearry]

I have never seen a game where a team had 4 bad snaps and recovered everyone of them. Plus, a fumble where the guy is tackled and has no clue where the ball is but falls directly on top of it.

[IRISHSKIN24]

that hurts...only 2 & 1, but yet again Skins fail on the Big Stage. honestly can't believe that retarded blitz or giving up on the run, but hey at least Romo, can still smile like a jackass!

I don't think it was a collapse as much as it was the play call.

[CapitalDefense]

We are a QB from being a good football team, hopefully Shanny can get us one next offseason.
