I couldn't disagree more...it was desperation time...he took a gamble and crapped out...good game for Campbell...our future is set at QB!!!!
Twilbert07 11-18-2007, 09:30 PM Will someone remind me why we didn't pursue TO. Was it because
1) He'd tear the team apart (Cowboys look pretty tight.)?
2) Because he's lost a step. (Ask Shawn Springs about that)?
3) Because we only bring in character players (such as Brandon Lloyd.)?

If one of our moderators banned this sad and ignorant so-called Redskins fan there would be a loud cheer from those who love this team. Great contribution STEVEO395. Go and learn what an adverb is and how to spell "until."
Vulta121 11-18-2007, 09:50 PM Jesus Christ guys there is no such thing as a moral victory in this league. We lost against a top tier team. We shouldn't be happy or proud with losing. I've love this team and i can't take the losing anymore.
GusFrerotte 11-18-2007, 09:50 PM As weird as it sounds, this loss feels WAY better than the loss to Philly last week.
That's saying a lot, given that we played Dallas.
We deserved to win that game today. Too bad JC didn't just take off with the ball instead of forcing the bad throw at the end. He kicked ass and looked very cool back there. Only really bad things I got from the game was now I question the quality and depth of our secondary. No ST certainly hurt, but that 52 yarder TD by TO made Springs look really bad. I mean Prioleau should have done a better job at having Springs' back on that, but Shawn just let him blow by him. We need to draft more CBs I think next year. Nice job by Rocky with that almost INT also. I thought he had it. With the exception of the Giants I t hink we will win the rest of the games. Dallas is going to sit guys out for the 2nd round against us if they beat GB and run the table. They will have secured homefield advantage even if they lose to us.

In a 2 deep zone, the CBs guard the sidelines for short to intermediate routes. Springs is supposed to release the WR after 15 yards or so. Each Safety is responsible for one half of the field beyond 15 yards or so, and the MLB drops to guard the deep middle. My only knock on Springs on that play is that he stopped running back the help Prioleau when nobody else was in his short zone for him to defend.
You make a great point about the 2nd Dallas game - if they have home field wrapped up, I can't imagine that they'll bring the same intensity that the Skins will if we're playing for a wild card.

Total agreement here. Having been a Skins fan since the early 80s, it amazes me how jaded Skins fans nowadays are. Mediocrity and losing "close games" are now acceptable?
This is Dallas...the ultimate enemy of any Redskin fan. Losing to them is NEVER a good loss...NEVER a moral victory. There's no such thing. This team has now lost two straight games in disappointing finishes to two hated rivals...and people are pleased??? Throw in the NYG loss from earlier this season and you're looking at 3 games the Redskins should have won. They're also 5-5 now in the WC game with difficult games ahead. Losing playoff position is ok too??
Yes there were injuries and other factors...yes they went into Dallas and lost a close game. But they still lost a very winnable game. I guess you all loved seeing Romo's silly, &%$@-eating grin over and over splashed on Fox. I guess it's ok to see TO running wild and mugging it up for the crowd at our expense since it's a MORAL victory...
Man...times have changed...I'm so mad I want to go throw a brick...no, a wheelbarrow full of bricks at anything with a Dallas star on it...and some folks here are ok with losing. Didn't used to be that way.
GMScud 11-18-2007, 10:09 PM I'm proud of the coaching staff for letting Jason use his abilities.
I'm proud of Santana Moss for finally showing up. I know this season has been hard on him (and us), and I'm glad he turned in a nice game.
I'm proud of a lot of the overall offensive execution.
I'm also pissed at a few things:
Did we really only run the ball 4 times in the second half? I heard Ray Brown say that stat after the game. We were throwing well, and I'm glad, but we should have used some of that throwing success to set up a few more runs. I'm not suggesting we should have run it 25 times in the second half, but maybe 10-12 would have helped our pace.
We still struggle like crazy to get it in the endzone. Despite 400+ yards of offense on the road, we had numerous drives stall out. Field goals don't win games, and we're seeing it over and over.

Exactly. Great post.
It's okay to look at a loss and say, hey, we did a few things really well. I think everyone was happy to see JC pick apart a very good team on the road. But there are no "moral" victories when playing the Cowboys. You win or you lose. Unfortunately we were on the latter end of that equation today.

I knew it wouldn't be long before someone would try to spin this angle.
Personally I'm not "ok with losing".
But overall, I feel that there were a lot of positives to take away from this game. We don't need to walk away from this game with our heads down, the team went all out, played a damn good game, and lost. Sometimes you can put forth a great effort and still lose.
I'm not ok with losing, I'm simply proud of the overall effort I saw today. They are two completely separate things, don't confuse the two.
