It has been too long since Washington has won this type of game. It's time. It should be a playoff atmosphere against a heated and hated foe. Shanahan needs to get this team to play their best football, and pull this win out period. This is a gauntlet game, a gut check, no doubt about it. Dallas is very beatable, no excuses. Find a way to win this game! Go Skins!

Yeppers. Getting a win Thursday almost certainly requires a total team effort i.e. the play-calling/coaching has to be at the same high level of player performance. If Mike makes it happen I'll eat that crow with a glass of scotch and a smile
