Redskins vs. Cowboys 11/18/07 game thread

Well, it wasn't as bad as I was expecting it to be. Major props to Campbell for keeping us in this one, he has had a nice couple of weeks so far even though they've both been losses.

What this really goes to show is how important Taylor is to our defense. Our safeties looked completely lost out there. I really wish he'll be back for next week but that is looking unlikely.

I don't know about that. Even during the first half, I thought Troy made an effort to make the broadcast balanced. Buck was the one that annoyed me. I thought he exhibited excessive homerism throughout the whole game. I was expecting more of that from Aikman honestly.

I agree with that.

Oh well...this is the NFL, and every team needs depth. Obviously we don't have much when it comes to safeties.

I predicted Dallas 28, Skins 20. We settle for field goals, we lose. Like I said earlier, it's the definition of insanity. Doing the same things over and over again and expecting different results.

I don't know about you, but I saw a different team out there. Sure we lost, and that is an all too familiar result right now, but that team opened up more than any other game this year.

I hear you on the field goals issue though. I really think on that 4th and 1 that turned out to be the 50 yard attempt, we could have and should have gone for it. Now we know what Suisham's range is though.

We opened up, yet we didn't score enough, again. We threw it well, but Portis had 36 rushing yards, we settled for field goals, and the big play killed us. It's the settling for field goals over and over again that drives me nuts.

I love seeing JC develop. He's rapidly developing into a fabulous QB. But that pick was AWFUL. We have to put more TDs on the board.

Well, only one play should we not have settled for a FG though.

Well he did play QB for the Boy's for many years... I mean come on It's amazing he could even come close to being fair.... He is human... I thought he did good....

I'm not defending our safeties play today, it was abysmal, but what did we expect?

ANY teams backup safeties vs TO and the #3 passing game in the NFL is going to be a mismatch.

I'm shocked we didn't get lit up MORE. I think it's actually an accomplishment that we held them to 28 points on the game, and only 14 going into the 4th quarter. That's actually a pretty damn good job on the defensive side, considering the injuries and who we were playing.

Yep, second week in a row we can say if Taylor was on the field, we would have won.

I'm proud of the guys though, we are alive and will make the playoffs.

Campbell was incredible. Moss is back. The only complaint I have is that Portis was not involved enough, but now we have a passing game the defenses have to respect.

No one expected the Skins to play this week and for the game to be so close. They were all proven wrong.

Here's hoping for a good game

Dallas week! We need to review our comments from the first encounter to see how we are going to overcome!

It seems ST was out, Santana was having a bad game, we lost Wade, we got some really bad calls from the refs, and we settled for FGs when a TD would have been best.

Did anything else stand out from that game that you remember, or have on the DVR/Tivo?

Come on, where is the refresh button?

Gmanc711 · 12-28-2007, 01:52 AM

Actually I thought Santana had a pretty good game vs Dallas originally if I can remember correctly...It was TO that beat us and obviously Sean being out for that one hurt alot because he always did such a good job against him.
