I must have missed yesterday's game...

[skinsfan69]

I have a feeling that if we had scored some more points then so would the Cowboys. Garrett called a very conservative game and when got desperate and really needed to score they did. The defense played very well but left plays on the field. Same old same old.

Jimmy Johnson said the same thing on the radio this morning.

Oh so now its not that our D didn't play well it was how Garrett called the plays and while your at it just add "same old same old" to your sig it will save you from typing it over and over again.

Nobody can deny that the D has given up it's share of late leads over the last couple years, but again, the offense hasn't exactly pulled it's weight over that time and given the D much margin for error.

^^^Essentially explains being 3-7.

Things were different at 6-2, and even at 8-8.

if the offense can't score one f-ing touchdown you can't blame the d, yeah we aren't the best, but we are pretty damn good, both sides of the ball have to do their part, the d can't play both sides of the ball, yeah it woulda been nice if they got those other picks, and d hall ran into the endzone instead of getting tackled by homo, but they still held dallas to one td, if out o coulda scored one touchdown game over

bottom line no way it's the d's fault

I think if the Defense allowed teams to score on every drive whether it was a TD or FG then yes the Defense would not be doing it's job.

I'll agree the Defense has allowed teams to score late in the 4th quarter. You either have a Defense that paces itself and plays conservitively and throws in a few rushes now and then so it doesn't tire out or you have an attacking Defense that by the 4th quarter will tire out, especially if it's on the field more then the Offense.

Basically we have the latter and we need an Offense that can put up some points. If the Offense can put up points and eat the clock the Defense will not tire out so quickly and the 4th quarter won't be an issue. Unfortunatly we have no offense to compliment the attacking Defense.

The defense got beat once the whole day and they cost us the game? LOL at that. Yeah, I guess if you accept the premise that our offense is so repugnant that the defense's job is to shut out every opponent. But Dallas's offensive players are pros too and they get paid to try and score. Did you see any of the other games this week? Or this year? Teams score in the fourth quarter as they adjust to the defensive looks they are getting. I guess Chicago's defense cost them their game too, not their bumbling quarterback who missed three wide open guys.

Can I revisit this. So the Offense scored 24 points this week, do they get to say if we score 24points we ought to win the game?

The Redskins team does not know how to win. The offense had several opportunities today to get a blowout going, the D had a chance to play with a lead from the gitgo, and neither side held it up. I didn't watch the game, just spot checked in on it, so I can't make too many specific comments, but the bottom line is that until someone can show this team "how to win" they will be losers.
