Yeah this is the point where Stacey McGee would be eligible to come off PUP.

If we don't win this game, I'll just assume we will never beat them again. There is absolutely no reason to lose this game except for we're the Redskins. This is a code red game. Especially for Alex. He loses this one, and the criticism sky rockets. For Jay too.

I don't think it should be a given that we win this game, they are about the same as we are, I would argue they are better on Defense and they run the ball better so actually I'd be more surprised we win, we all know there will be half the stands full of Dallas fans as I found out last yr at this game. I think we win if we have zero To's and we can run the ball.

Coming off a big win against probable playoff team, rivlarly game, chance to get some separation, chance to start a overall streak, chance to win 3 straight at home, chance to say we are here all season, roughly equal to the other team.

This is a game that good teams win and expect to win.

We should absolutely come out fired up and ready to play.

Time for Gruden to prove he can lead this team. If we come out flat I'm going to go insane.

I'm not making a prediction tha we will win, but we should win this damn game, if that makes sense.

McGee could sub for Matty I on first down, goal line/short yard packages because he is stronger versus the run.

This is a win

Re: Dallas week Version 1
 

Keim hasn't seen McGee begin practicing yet. I wonder if this is a sign that McGee's getting closer to practicing, but also that they're more confident in Caleb Brantley now that they've had a good look at him for a bit.

Honestly forgot we even had him (Brantley). Looking forward to seeing if he's a rotational keeper.

I’m with you!! We lose Dallas 31 Skins 24 ... for the record until this team wins 2 games in a row I’m picking them to lose... IF we win this game I believe the skins could make a serious run at division ..

Re: Dallas week Version 1
 

I really think the outcome of this game lies in the first couple of offensive drives, if the Skins can get on top early like they have in their wins, they'll have a good chance of winning this one too. But if dallas gets on top early, and can just run zeke and dak scramble for first downs...no way they'll win this game.

Re: Dallas week Version 1
 

This game is about attitude. The trenches. Here's why I'm eager to see how the line performs this time around, and why I think it can be different from previous seasons.

Watch starting at 0:46.

Re: Dallas week Version 1
 

Looking at points per game Dallas defense is ranked #2 allowing only 17.2, we are 8th as we are allowing 20.8

Of course we had the Saints game as an outlier of 43.

This is going to be a defensive game, and I think key turnovers (in either team's redzone) will be the difference. Dallas has 6 takeaways in 6 games, we have 9 in 5 games.

Also Special teams will be highlighted. I don't really know if either team has an edge here, but it could come down to a great or terrible special teams play.

Bottomline, I trust this defense against a fairly one dimensional Dallas attack. With no Witten their TE's aren't nearly as much a factor.

I think Kerrigan gets a big play, possibly a pick six or fumble recovery.

My worry is our OL vs their DL, AS will need his best checkdown eyes as he isn't going to have the time to throw that long developing plays.
