Predictions: Redskins @ Cowboys

[Schneed10]

Slugfest. This will come down to who can outmuscle the opponent for most of the game.

Then I think TO gets one big play on us, and the Cowboys' deep secondary limits our receivers from getting any big plays. That ends up being the difference.

I think Cowboys take this one, but we'll see about the matchup later at FedEx.

Just want to say..>I am a cowboys fan.....and I read here time to time and just wanted to say how refreshing it is to read a thread like this...just great fans...intelligent conversation...people that can discuss a rivalry with a lot of passion. So salute...good luck this week....been so many injuries everywhere this year just hoping for an clean, injury free game. Enjoy your week..your team. Also wanted you guys to know....just made a post on my own board...that we haven't forgotten Sean either.

Redskins 27 - Cowgirls 24

Ball control is key for us. Blache must be at the top of his game and win the chess-match with Garrett.

Portis must have a HUGE game for the Skins to stay in this one. Dallas will score some points as they have one of the best offenses in the league. Unfortunately I think the 3-4 defense of the Cowboys will be a little much for our continually improving offense.

Dallas 28
Skins 20

I've been close on my scores and right about my outcomes thus far this season.

Moss is on fire and so is cooley. Devin thomas is poised to have his breakout game. Campbell will throw his first pick and TO will score one TD. Dallas will rush for one (felix jones cuts outside and breaks a long one due to overpersuit). Witten may see the endzone but they won't post over 26pts on us.

We will drop our first 30burger of the season. They'll probably start overcommitting to a short zone, not concerned about out long game, which has a dimension no one has seen yet in thomas. Once they adjust we'll have them.

31-24 skins is my official prediction. Were getting better and I'm not seeing improvement in them.

Btw @ the dallas fan: thanks for the classy showing! Almost makes me feel bad our men have to go put a hurtin' on your boys this weekend. Almost

The name of the game is time of possession. If we sustain long demoralizing drives against their D, and get a couple of turnovers we WILL win this game. I dont care if TO burns us at some point, as long as we march back down the field the game will be ours. If we do these things:

30-28 Redskins

But If we allow their Defense to stall us, and turnover the ball at all this game is a blow out:

42-21 Dallas

[BleedBurgundy]

28 - 24 Skins win baby. Suck it cowboys fans! (with all due respect...)

[firstdown]

We win by one point thats all I care about. I know this sounds simple but its what I posted when Moss burned them with to late TD'd to win by one point so this is what I've been sticking with since that game.

You know what kinda sucks? Even if the Skins win this game, the stories on Monday will all be about how Dallas lost... not how the Redskins won. Oh well, I would take it either way.

Well even if its about how Dallas lost it will also be about how the Skins beat them so it really does not matter.

Yup. Much of the media is stating the cards beat themselves with turnovers and penalties. were the Rodney Dangerfield of the NFC east

[Monkeydad]

This is the one matchup that a true Skins fan can never pick against their team.

Look at the history of this rivalry...even when one of the teams has a HORRIBLE record (remember the 1-15 Cowboys of '89?), both teams have a chance to win this game no matter how they're played the rest of the league. It's almost always a good game and brings out the best in players from both teams, as well as the worst in the fans.

So I will not make myself nauseas and even give the Cowboys a chance.

Skins all the way. We win 34-20.




Vote to ban any Skins fan picking Dallas.

Does someone want to second the motion?

Not a problem LOL There are no guarantees and no easy games in the NFC East, I love this division. For me...depends on what Dallas team shows up. They can be one of the best teams out there or they can play sloppy. I was reading an article this morning in the Dallas News ....saying people were praising Phillips for having the Dallas team ready for the short week with the Eagles and all I could think is............isn't that his job? I think we have the talent, but we're also not always prepared and penalties are still killing us. That eagles game was a nail biter and i think this one will be too

[InsanePianist]

That's ridiculous. The Cards didn't beat themselves with that INT. Torrence made a great play, and Rogers made an even better play.

And since when did the Skins get credit for anything? 2005 vs Dallas? We'd have to have a game like that to really get some attention. What annoys me even more is that all the boys fans say last December was a meaningless game that their starters didn't even play in. I remember that most of their starters played the entire first half, and Romo stayed into the 3rd quarter just for the Cowboys completions record (I think). When Romo was pulled, the score was 20-3. Cowboys fans are in for a surprise if they think the boys will blow us out.
