but why oh why did Gibbs with a little over 2 minutes to go and Redskins driving hand Betts the ball for 3 consecutive times with little gain and then punted. And after the interception were down at the Bears 17 and Brunell took a kneel......why not give Hall a FG try at least....??????

HHhhmmmm, you can take a knee and not have to give the ball back to the Bears, or you could kick a field goal, give the ball back to the Bears and risk the Bears running it all the way back for a TD. Seemed like the right call to me.

I think this was a slug fest between two excellent defenses. Ultimately, our team just played better, although it would have been nice to see them get one in the endzone.

Boy, Antonio Brown isn't really doing himself any favors - last week he had about five drops in the preseason finale and this week he fumbles away a kickoff return.

If there is one thing Gibbs doesn't tolerate it is turnovers. I'd be worried if I were Brown. Maybe they should try to work Taylor Jacobs in on punt returns.

Last year Brown cost us the Dallas game with 1:34 left with his fumble....
he continues to fumble and I'm losing my patience.......Gibbs should too.........

That was a great game from the D. Orton looks pretty poised and we made many mistakes. If not for the D we easily could have lost. Great job by Brunell. He played smart and we seem to have recievers that are sort of feared. Go skins!

Anybody hear anymore about Ramsey's injury?

BleedBurgundy · 09-11-2005, 04:38 PM

Chargers are running all over the Cowgirls...

We are going to be horrible this year. Brunell, Ramsey, or Campbell.....doesn't matter. I have been a fan for a long time and have no confidence in our offense. We made the Bears look like the best defense in the league. Everyone act blind and make excuses....because we do that best! I accept reality and look for a worse season than last year. We had everything in our favor in this game and still only won by 2 points. HORRIBLE. We are going to get pounded by KC, Denver, Philly....must I go on. Anyway....all these positive posts make me want to ask if anyone watched the game??'

cause the vikings and philly really destroyed us last year? they were close games, we're good against the run. KC will score regardless, but i think we can at least compete with denver and philly at least once.

Are you wanting to live in the past or the now....last year is last year. And we don't play Minnesota this year....did you see what Tampa did to them?? I hate this sh**. You guys prove me wrong somewhere down the road and we'll talk. We CAN"T SCORE POINTS. And this is no different than last year. Did you also see what KC did to the Jets offense.......oh yeah.....shut them out. If there is any way to make negative points, we would be able to do it.

uh, you said we couldn't hang with them, i answer by saying "well, judging by last year we can" and then you bring up some BS about living in the past?

Either you're not paying attention or you're being an a-hole.

Not sure I care what you are saying? We suck....bottom line. And you keep coming up with excuses as to why we are going to be good and keep getting disappointed......don't call me an a hole again.

You are right that we looked bad on offense. BUT.........
We actually ran the ball well and had a good chance to score a couple of TDs.

The game was not as close as the score made it seem. We dominated the entire game. The bears offense could only score off of a terrible KO fumble. Those turnovers have to stop.

Our running game looked good against a good run defense. The problem is simply that we have one QB that seems to have no feel for the pass rush and another one that is scared to attack a defense. If we can put Ramsey on the move more or convince Brunnel that he should push harder for the TD then we may be alright.

Regardless, it should be obvious that our defense will allow us to be in games all the way until the 4th quarter and our running game should really wear out opposing defenses.

We may have another season of not scoring much, but I think we can still win more than 6 games.

Win more than 6 games....................?? Ok....then 7.

Cowboys so far playing quite sloppy!

That Guy · 09-11-2005, 04:47 PM

theres ssome hate to brunell (i think) because he throws shorter passes and (even in preseason) iss less willing to go deep.

He doesn't make mistakes, but he makes less big plays too. Either way, he was fine, but I would have liked at least 1 TD. Moss 4 for 96, 24ypc avg, that' not a bad start. patten was a bit quiet, hopefully we'll see him and jacobs go for gold on monday.

ST on offense

would've been nice to see him catch one, but if you guys wanted a big receiver, he's 232 f**king pounds.
