For those who watched the DAL/GB game, is GB that much better or is Dallas just playing bad?? How do you like our chances next week?

It looks like a lot of both. Green Bay's offense is really clicking, while Dallas's offense is one-dimensional (Testaverde's arm) and Dallas's defense is not what it was last year.

Green Bay's pass defense is still suspect, though. Testaverde threw for over 300 on them. If the Skins can get their passing game going, they should be able to keep it close.

The Redskins defense has a real test ahead of them, though. Green Bay has 3 solid receivers, a good tight end, a very good runningback (when he's not fumbling), and of course, Brett Favre.

Let's put it this way, the Redskins offense will have to score more than one touchdown to have a chance against the Pack.

Well if our offense does more of the same next week, I dont see how we cant turn to Ramsey. I really hope Brunell starts to click next week, I REALLY do. The way the NFL went today, a win by the Skins next week will get us right back into things. I think next weeks game will be the hardest test for us to date, and really is the game that can make or break our season. If we beat GB, we are right back into the thick of things. If we fall.... god help me.

GB has their running game cranking again and that's the key to their offense.

If we can keep Green in check I think we can force Favre into a pick or two, but if Green runs wild like he did yesterday forget about it.

I think the Cowboys are seriously slipping. They can't run, they in fact don't even try anymore, and their D is looking very soft.

The Cowboys are looking bad. Plus, the Packers don't have a good run defense, and Parcells (or I guess Payton?) refused to try to get the running game going....they only rushed like 15 times...
Portis should have a good game, and there is no way they will run or put up points like that against our D. That said, we still will have to put some points up to beat them....PLEASE!!!
It's funny how Collinsworth rags on everybody.....he just couldn't get over how the Cowboys D sucked compared to last year. Quite entertaining when it's the Cowbitches and not us!
