Redskins vs. Cowboys Gameday thread

Why is every pass that's down field off a play action? Can't we go deep without always slowing the play down and giving more time for the pass rush?

I just hope we have a winning record at the end of the season. Playoffs are slipping away, and we're in a 3-way tie for the 6th spot in the playoffs (just like last year). I don't see this happening the way we're playing.

I don't think we're out of the playoff picture yet, but we're not going to win too many games scoring 10 points and going 3 and out half the time we have the ball. People are hating on the Def tonite but in all seriousness when you let a team like Dallas control TOP your defense is going to become exhausted pretty quickly. Story would have been different if the offense established consistently long drives that kept Dallas' offense and our defense off the field.

Kudos to Portis playing hurt. The guy wants to win and is not afraid to go out there and try to carry the team on his back. IMHO, he's the best get we've had in the past 5 years not just from a standpoint of being a great running back, but also being a positive influence on the field and in the locker room.

I feel for Jason Campbell. It must suck being him because it seems like every time he drops back to pass he's walking on a mine field in a war zone. The passing game will never develop without protection. It's gotta start with the line.

Can't do much with the line until the end of the year, but for now sit down Jansen and put Heyer back out on the field. I seriously think Jansen has a better future as a commentator than a RT. The O-line is in serious need of a youth movement.

you guys got jobbed by the officials on the last meaningful play of the game. 4th and 2, Crayton comes in motion and is clearly moving forward towards the line of scrimmage at the snap of the ball. Should have been flagged for illegal motion but inexplicably wasn't. It was really obvious watching on TV that should have been a penalty. I am not even a Redskins fan(I live in buffalo and am a Bills fan), but that was a horrendous no call by the official...

Sadly, even if the bad calls had gone our way, our defense would have found a way to waste those opportunities.

Yeah he just seems really out of sorts.

He's playing out of position. They have Horton playing in his natural position.

We got jobbed all game. But it's good to see someone who's not even a fan of the team, see that we were getting hosed all game. Makes us seem less crazy.

You're joking right. Bruce Smith was terrible on the Redskins.

He did have a 10 sack season... but yes, when Bruce Smith is the last thing you can point at -- that is a joke.

I guess he wasn't terrible just terribly one dimensional once he got to the Skins.

On the bright side we have a really good secondary.

We got jobbed by the o-line. LOL.

they also refused to call holding and many facemasks at the line

That's for sure. You'd think the refs and the o-line were conspiring.
