Dallas Score Predictions

After 5 quarters of play:

Washington 9
Dallas 9

Sadly, Beemnseven, I think you're right on the money. :(

I don't think it will matter whether Ramsey or Brunell is the quarterback in this one. Ramsey would get eaten alive by their blitz, and Brunell's not aggressive enough to punish the Dallas D for clamping down on Portis like a pack of wild dogs.

I also watched the Chargers game last weekend, and Dallas impressed me-- particularly their offense. The Redskins defense is still good, but I don't like the offense's chances against the Dallas D. The offense won't be able to sustain drives or maintain possession long enough to keep the defense fresh, and Parcells will just start wearing them down with the running of Julius Jones.

Of course, the Skins could do the same thing to Bledsoe that the Cowboys would've done to Ramsey: ship him out of the stadium in a body bag. Both QBs are sitting ducks to a blitz-happy defense. If the Redskins decommission Bledsoe, they have a chance. Otherwise, I see Bledsoe making just enough big plays through the air to keep the defense honest and give Jones enough wiggle room on the ground to wear down the defensive front.

This game is in Dallas. It's Parcells knowing every move Gibbs is going to make. It's the recent history of Dallas dominance over Washington. It's the blind referees that always seem to follow Washington around to every crucial matchup. It's the one game that I dread every year, because the next day I inevitably have to face all those pompous, sneering Cowboy fans and hear "how 'bout them Cowboys?" hollered across the office building every time the game is brought up in conversation. It's not going to be any different this year.

Cowboys 27, Redskins 6.


What's interesting is that Bledsoe himself said he would be suprised if they get more than a few shots at a touchdown against the Redskins. I don't know if that was some of the "pre-game modesty stuff", but that's what he said.

13-10 skins

I think what a lot of people are overlooking is the fact Williams coached Bledsoe for two years in Buffalo, so it's the old story of pupil vs. teacher (http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/09/16/AR2005091601697.html).

This could definitely be a big advantage for our D.

Anyone who thinks Bledsoe is going to have a repeat performance of his week 1 showing is sadly mistaken in my opinion.

I'm hoping for one of those performances from our D much like John Gruden had the Bucs ready for his old team in the SB v. Raiders/QB Rich Gannon.

People have been saying how we didn't put much pressure on Orton, I don't think we really came after him until the second half.

we confused orton gave him so many looks that he couldn't make a good decision. That why as the game progressed his vision tunneled strickly to muhammed. it was a good strategy

Against a mid round rookie playing in his 1st NFL game along with Muhammed as their only legitimate receiving option, no TE or running game, its a solid strategy

This game for the Skins' is going to say a lot about how successful the Skins' are going to be this year. Beating Dallas in their house on MNF would not only be a big win but a huge confidence booster.
My prediction is the Skins' come out on top 13-7. I don't think we will get much offense but they will reach the end zone. The defense will pressure Bledsoe and contain Jones and force at least 2 turnovers.

Go Skins'!!!!!

Well, I dispute that Chicago has no running game: Jones rushed for 1000 yards last year despite not starting every game - much like his baby brother Julius - and I suspect their rookie RB Benson will garner some attention before the year is out.

whats up Blue Star here checking in from cowboysboard.com

Theres nothing with being honest with yourself. When the cowboys played the eagles monday night last season I knew they were gonna get killed and they did.

Final Cowboys 31 Skins 10
Welcome Blue Star.

If, as you say, there's "nothing with being honest with yourself", then 31-10 is a great pick.

I, however, believe there's nothing wrong with being honest with yourself. And if you think the Cowboys are rolling up 31 points on our defense, then save me some of what your smoking.
