Even Theisman going against us.

Dallas also got breaks on penalties which turned a punting situation into a first down, not once, not twice, but 3 times.............that helped. And bad play calling in the red zone....they didn't give the ball to LT and Gates wasn't in the lineup. SD is weak up front no pressure on Bledsoe........

dallas can win but they can't score over 18 points

I am looking at a score of 13-6 redskins.

Sunra - we put up tons of yards against the Bears, we won with 3 FG's. It's been our problem last year and so far this year. We're not aggressive enough to punch it in so far. Week 2 is always so important in defining a team, by then the flukes of week 1 can be exposed or get another solid win and make people realize.

We are aggressive enough to punch it in the endzone. Cooley's TD was called back because of his push off. Our offensive line played much better than last year and I do not expect alot of penalties to hurt their drives. As long as I've been watching football, week 4 is considered the time to see a teams prospect for that season. As far as I've seen from our offense, they have moved the ball affectively. The problem has lied on turnovers from our QB. I don't think anyone could have predicted the Colts to score only 10 points until the third or fourth quarter against the Jaguars. And Philly only scored 10 points as well. How about the great Brett Favre, not able to punch it in and his team settling with only 3 points for a loss. It can only get better for this offense as far as I'm concerned.

just a thought, Joe (T.) made that predicton before all the recent turmoil. maybe he doesn't like Brunell, or just the effect of a sudden switch will have during the week.

[Sheriff Gonna Getcha]

Good point SUNRA about Williams knowing Bledsoe, I didn't even think of that.

[skins009]

Dude i'd pick the cowboys too. Do you realize that Mark Brunnel is our qb. Our only hope is that Demarcus Ware comes around the outside on the first play of the game and breaks brunnels leg and Ramsey comes back in.

[djnemo65]

based on what Chicago's offense is doing today (31 at half) we can accurately calculate that Dallas will score -12 points against us Monday.

[skinsguy]

If people are going to judge tomorrow night's game by what happened last week, then you also have to consider what's happening today...at least with the Bears.

The Bears only had one score against us....by us giving them the ball deep in our own territory. Today, the Bears score over 30 points in one half. So, the excuse that the Bears' had a rookie QB, and their offense isn't capable of scoring doesn't fly with me.

The Redskins are alot better than what some of you people are giving them credit for. Sure, I know, they'll have to prove it.

skinsguy - It certainly makes our defense look better, but has that ever really been the question with the Washington Redskins last and this year?

I dunno...with some of the 27-6 predictions that people are giving tomorrow night's game against Dallas, I could see how that might be considered questioning our defense.

Maybe they're thinking in terms of our offense not holding onto the ball long enough to give the D a rest. However, again, our offense held the ball quite a long time against the tough Bears defense.

I think that's the question... But if Gibbs is preaching turnover free ball all week, maybe we'll slug out a win...

I think that's exactly what we need to be concerned about. Turnovers often lead to losses. Even if our offense isn't lighting it up, as long as we don't turn the ball over and play smart football, I see no reason why we wouldn't have a chance. I think Dallas is a good team, but they're not the freakin' world champs!

Hence Brunell starting. We would have lost against the bears with Ramsey in there the whole game.
I am starting to understand brunell in there, I give him one game before i go against this decision. tommorrow is a big night for us
