You're complicating things man. We lose the turnover battle and we lose the game...it's that simple!

You're probably right since, inferentially, that means that Brunell plays a solid game. He doesn't need to throw for 300 yards for us to win. Although, with that Dallass secondary, he very well might!

so much crying... everyone has injuries and monday wasn't a miracle, the roids just royally stunk it up. Maybe you can play 60 minutes this time around, maybe you can't, but weak smack and lame excuses certainly aren't going to win this game.

Ok, you entire starting CB corp are hurt probably will not play on Sunday, Gibbs is moving a practice squad guy up to play, and another who has never made a start in the NFL, Sean Taylor will probably be lining up in coverage as well.

With all that, and our starting and releif CB's and safeties are all healthy, and you want to talk smack about the DALLAS SECONDARY?

I won't pretend that I'm optimistic about winning, but if Dallas loses, then you'll have to admit that the Cowgirls are one sorry ass team. With all of the injuries in Washington, there's no excuse for Dallas losing. Looking forward to a big upset and kicking your ass! :dallas:

Are Glenn and Henry playing? I thought they were questionable. Without them, you've got FIVE interceptions from the rest of the secondary. Plus you're giving up 200 yards a game.

Like I said - could be a big day for Brunell.

Re: (Mega Merged Thread) Redskins-Dallas Game
 
Ok there has been a lot of smack flying all over the place.

But with all smack aside I would like to hear from Redskins fans, and intelligent assesment as to why the Redskins will win on Sunday. What are the factors in place that place the odds clearly in favor of Washington. Besides the home field advantage of course.


I think Dallas will win because of the following reasons:
1. With the exception of LT, they are healthy on both sides of the ball.
2. Dallas leads the league in TOP and controlling the clock.
3. They have better depth at key positions, DE, DT, LB and RB.
4. With thier depth they are able to rotate players in and out of the game, keeping them fresh and rested for the later quarters when the opposition is showing signs of fatigue.
5. Injuries to the Redksins make them very vulnerable. Thier top 3 CB's probably will not play, they are moving a practice sqaud guy up to play and another that has never started a game in the NFL. Thrash and Moss both have tended hamstrings.
6. Dallas has the better QB.

Re: (Mega Merged Thread) Redskins-Dallas Game
 
I think this is a case of two pretty evenly matched teams and it's going to come down to the usual X factor, turnovers.

I think the home crowd is going to be a big advantage as FedEx has finally arrived as a true homefield for the Skins this year. I think the place will be nuts and could cause some problems for the Cowboys on offense.

I wouldn't count on our top 3 corners being out for Sunday. They know what's on the line, guys will suck it up and play.

You list injuries like 3 times on your list (#1, 4, and 5). Moss tweaked his hammy, but is fine. Our CBs will hurt us, but in a team defense like the Skins, we can survive a couple of injuries.

This is what I've heard from various sources. Rogers will be sore, but good enough to play. Harris is vastly improving from his injury and should be ready to go this weekend. Springs is hurt bad, but according to him, he'd have to be dead to miss this one.

What does the CB (Cornerback) have to do with Portis? Portis is a stud, no doubt. But with the depth that Dallas has a RB you could see one HB for 2 1/2 quarters of play, then when the Redskins defense is playing tired in the 4th, in comes the other HB with fresh and rested legs and a full tank of gas. That is a distinct advantage.

By the way in his career with Washington, Clinton Portis has never ever eclipsed 100 yards against Dallas.

Concur on the abilities of Arrington and Washington, both extremely talented players. But that is why the depth of the Dallas defense will come into play in the later quarters. You have two outstanding LB's, no argurment. But when it comes to the LB corp as a whole and what they bring to the table.

Whether or not the beat-up CB's for the Redskins play or not we will have to find out on Thursday. But they are certainly not 100% and will be playing hurt even if they suit up. And if those "scrub" DB's play in place of Rogers, Springs and Harris they will be exploited and Bledsoe will pick them apart. Bledsoe was sacked 4 times last Sunday but still put up HUGE numbers.

You picked apart my list farily well, but you still failed to point out facts that put the odds in favor of the Redskins. You attempted to discredit my points but you did not point out facts that make a case for your team and why the Redskins will win?

TheMalcolmConnection 12-14-2005 01:04 PM

Re: (Mega Merged Thread) Redskins-Dallas Game
 
If he won't then I will...

1.) Provided they are healthy, Washington's CBs are far superior to Dallas's WRs. Taylor normally covers Keyshawn and has owned him in previous meetings. The CBs being healthy are a HUGE reason I believe the Skins will win. If we are down to our second or third string corners, I truly am worried about the outcome of the game.

2.) Home field advantage. There truly is one now at FedEx. Being that this is also the most important game ever played there is going to be make it a VERY hostile place to play.

3.) Dallas's defense cannot match up with EVERYONE the Skins have, while I feel that the Redskins match up very well against Dallas's offense.

All of this being said, I don't feel that Dallas has any true advantage, running game or otherwise on the Skins. It's not like you have two all-pro backs that have your "full tank of gas". It's Jones who, in his short history, has done jack nor shit against the Redskins and Marion Barber III, who I agree, is coming into his own, but is definitely not on the level of Portis. As far as backup RBs are concerned, Ladell Betts AND Rock Cartwright are both more talented than Barber. Both spell Portis when he needs a breather and have done an excellent job. Your main point seems to be the depth you say the Cowboys have. I don't think that alone is going to be enough because if I remember correctly, most Cowboys games are coming down to the last quarter. It'll be a shootout, no doubt, but the X-factors are turnovers and whether the Skins will have their starting cornerbacks playing.

There you go, I knew there would be one who would bring up the last game. That was your "one", does not take away from the fact that Dallas has won 14 of the last 16 meetings and have beaten the Redskins in Maryland MORE than the Redskins have beaten Dallas in Maryland.

Congrats on the win in week 2, but last time I checked there was a game THIS Sunday that we were discussing.

Well I will disagree with you about the Dallas defense being able to matchup with everyone, I think they can and they will. Secondary is healthy across the board, Keith Davis was one of the DB's that Moss burned in week 2, but for the last month oor so he has been playing LIGHTS OUT.

I also do not think it will be a "shootout". These are 2 "old school" coaches that will rely heavily on the ground game. Both defenses are pretty even across the board and it will be a defensive struggle until late in the game. I think that Dallas will win, but unlike some of my fellow Cowboy fans, no way do I think it is a blow out. It will be decided in the 4th quarter.

By the way how is Ladell Betts doing? Last I saw he was listed as questionable with a knee injury a couple weeks ago.

TheMalcolmConnection 12-14-2005 01:27 PM

Re: (Mega Merged Thread) Redskins-Dallas Game
 
He's back and playing fine actually. Even if he aggrivates it in practice, Rock has an insane average per carry and is more than capable of spelling Portis.

You can't seriously buy that argument, can you? You would take two decent backs over one top 5 back?

[QUOTE=sandtrapjack]By the way in his career with Washington, Clinton Portis has never ever eclipsed 100 yards against Dallas.[/quote]
He doesn't need 100. I'll take 80 and the win. Point is, he will grind it out, get decent yards, pick up the blitz, and be an option on the screen when Brunell needs him. That's what he brings to the position that none of your RBs do.

[QUOTE=sandtrapjack]Concur on the abilities of Arrington and Washington, both extremely talented players. But that is why the depth of the Dallas defense will come into play in the later quarters. You have two outstanding LB's, no argurment. But when it comes to the LB corp as a whole and what they bring to the table.[/quote]
Again, the Skins' team defense doesn't need 4 Pro Bowl LBs to do the job. The only area where we have basically nothing is on the D line. If we can't get to Bledsoe, we are going to be in trouble.

[QUOTE=sandtrapjack]Whether or not the beat-up CB's for the Redskins play or not we will have to find out on Thursday. But they are certainly not 100% and will be playing hurt even if they suit up.

I agree, except that I don't think Bledsoe will get the huge numbers if the Skins pressure him. We don't need 5 sacks, but we can't give him time to check down 3 receivers every passing down.

TMC beat me to the punch (stupid lunch breaks!), but I'll add superior running game and superior run defense to the list. It's going to come down to TOP and turnovers, and I think the Skins will win TOP based on this. I can't predict turnovers.

Re: (Mega Merged Thread) Redskins-Dallas Game
 
Everyone is saying how the Skins won't be able to run against Dallas. That's nuts if we can run well against the #1 run defense in San Diego and basically tear apart Tampa Bay's. That's not to say Portis won't get shut down, but we're just NOW figuring out how to use him at this point in the season. Our offensive line is fairly dominant and it's all about pounding Portis at them and then using him outside of Dallas's slow DEs.

Whatever it is, I agree since he has been back we have been getting more pressure and push. If we can get Salave back beside him, it will help greatly. The defense has stepped up to the plate a great deal since the Tampa game. We have seen pressure and turnovers and I expect the same to happen this week barring we have a huge turnover in personnel due to injuries. The past few weeks the sacks are coming from the line and the backers and secondary and in turn we are getting turnovers and few deep pass plays. Defense will step up to the plate this week and also not bite on that infamous trick play that has gotten us the past twp games with the Cowboys.

TheMalcolmConnection 12-14-2005 03:10 PM

It will be close it will be a battle both teams want this game so much both teams want to take the other out of the playoffs and both team players have personal vendetas againts the others.

So this will be a low scoring smashmout game and the team that commits the fewer mistakes including blown coverage will take it home

You are right, I can't bring myself to spellcheck a word I should know how to spell so I figure it will click in sooner or later. Then I just go and spell it wrong again.

I did worry about your dump passes to your TE and FB. I know those guys - Cooley esp - can get first downs. I have seen Cooley put it on the ground a few times though. If Portis get that HB option to work I think I will turn the television off. I thought Sellers had been injured.

Seriously, the DB's better be watching when Portis lopes out toward the sideline without seriously looking for a hole inside.

Dallas needs the Washington offense - offence? g*dd*Mn!! - to sputter and give up a couple of turnovers.

Our offensive line is on high gear right now and will crush the Dat-less CGirls D all day. Not to mention Sean Taylor is playing as well as anyone in the NFL right now and our D line is almost completely healthy. Did anyone see the Chiefs completely have their way with Dallas at the line of scrimmage? It was ridiculous.

I really feel like Dallas fans are reaching on this one, talking about how their healthy secondary is going to be the difference in a game that will obviously be won in the trenches and hinge on the run, which the Redskins D is very prepared to SHUT DOWN.

Welllll.......I wouldn't exactly say our o-line is in high-gear right now. We had a couple of good games against very average defensive lines. On a couple of occasions we couldn't punch it in from the goal line or third and very short. I think how they stand up against Dallas will be the best test we've had since, oh perhaps the San Diego game.

And please don't take this as me trying to counter everything in your post, but our defensive line is a little hobbled right now. Everyone will suit up, but I doubt everyone is completey healthy...then again no one in the NFL is completely healthy at this time of the year.

I feel you on Taylor's play, though. He's playing really good ball right now. He's playing the run very well, and we know what he can do when the ball's in the air. I think he should be a Pro-Bowler this year, but we'll see how the chips fall.

Re: (Mega Merged Thread) Redskins-Dallas Game
 
No offense to either side, but anyone calling for this to be a crushing win/loss in either direction is pretty much talking out their ass. These teams are dead even in stats and talent if you ask me. Dallas has a slightly better passing offense, we have a slightly better running offense, and so on.

I love the smack talk and team spirit as much as the next guy, but anyone seriously arguing for a blowout one way or another is just going a little too far.

My prediction: 17-14 Redskins. Skins get an early lead, play back and forth all game, take the lead late in the fourth and the D comes up with a big stand in the last few minutes.

I love the smack talk and team spirit as much as the next guy, but anyone seriously arguing for a blowout one way or another is just going a little too far.

My prediction: 17-14 Redskins. Skins get an early lead, play back and forth all game, take the lead late in the fourth and the D comes up with a big stand in the last few minutes.[/QUOTE]

Sounds 'bout right.

You my friend, get the Phil Simms Iron Man award! Oh, I forgot they give that out on Thanksgiving....

speaking of the iron man award, did anyone notice the reaction of ron dayne's face while eating that pie? it looked like he was trying real hard to be polite to simms... he even had an extra bite towards the end of the interview, but it looked like he didn't enjoy it!
