Well last year the Cowboys had a Monday night home game against us and on top of that it was supposed to be a special night for them with their Ring of Honor celebrating the careers of Aikman, Smith, and Irvin. Things turned out ok for us

I along with a few others have said it's only one game, and still early in the season. However, I think what many are trying to point out here is the obvious. We have some problems, the competition continues to get better, and we don't know about time or personell to fix the problems. We can't get a kicker, or cover corner, or pass rush in five days before we go to Dallas. We all want to remain optomistic, but we also have to admit that what we've seen so far in 06 has not been exactly a thing of beauty. We also know we have lost six straight games which has to be mentally depressing. We couldn't cover those guys last night, and we all know Dallas's receivers are better than they are, so I think that while we must keep the faith, based on what we've seen there is a little cause for concern.

It was hard to tell if Carter was even on the field. No pressure from his side at all. At least you could see Archuletta - about 5 yards behind the play. Carter needs to step and show his 1st round class - I want to see Bledsoe eat dirt.

I'm not ready to crucify anyone at this point. We've had just one friggin game. I am disappointed, but it's not the end of the world.

Exactly.

Losing the opener sucks, but there's alot of football to go.

Sheriff, you speak with wisdom. A win against Dallas would certainly set the world right side up again. A poor effort against an average Viking team can be be rectified with a step up this week. I still believe...

I, unfortunately, see us losing to the Cowboys if Springs is injured. I have faith and think they'll improve with time. I just don't see us winning next week. I'd say the Boys win 21-17.

It will be a different game next week. Dallas offensive line doesn't have near the talent Minnesota has. We will pressure Bledsoe. Our D Line just plain got beat by their O Line last night. It happens. Normally we can blitz more, but GW probably didn't feel he could take the chance without Shawn Springs. He will probably take more chances next week regardless if Springs is healthy or not.

The Redskins will win this game by a TD.

You know we talk about the lack of turnovers all the time, but I wish Sean Taylor would go for the INT more than the "Jacked-up" highlight hit. When I see the ball going to the opposing team's WR, I see Taylor with his head down ready to lay the guy out, not looking up, trying to pick it off. Has anyone else notice that? I appreceate his hard hits, but the INT would be better, and just as disruptive. Plus it would definitley avoid the 15 yard Personal Foul. No Ref is going to throw a flag for pass interference or personal fouls, if you are going for the ball.

MTK · 09-12-2006, 03:36 PM

We had a chance for a couple of picks last night but our guys kept running into each other going for the ball. Taylor went up for one along the sideline and ran into someone, then there was that one down the middle of the field where Rogers and Taylor collided. Shit luck.

Yup, it just so happens that Luck smiles on us sometimes and sometimes it doesn't. Like early last season, Luck didn't smile on us with regard to turnovers.

Just need to stay the course. Have faith in Gibbs and what he does and hope like hell they can get it rolling. Don't give up hope!!!! I am as dissappointed as anyone, but we can't dwell on the loss. I can bet the players after today's film study have already forgotten and moving toward next week. It's time for us to the same.

BMF21 · 09-12-2006, 04:56 PM

WTF,...where was A. Carter at and Adam Archeleta, well, all I can say if he's the highest paid Saftey in the leauge we got F**ked, this defense is going to be sad, if they cant get to a 38 yr old QB, Randle El looked good, and Moss was Moss, but what happen to Highlight reel Brandon Lloyd, I watched this game, thinking we were going to drag the Vikings....and we couldnt be the snot out of a sick kid,....I think its time to pull the plug on Brunell, he's arm seems like a noodle, and those throwing passes to the side, that was so last year...........I was going to spend 250 bucks to get good seat and go see them play the Texans,.........Not yet

Carlos Rogers covering either Owens or Glenn after his performance against the Vikings has me worried. I don't see our secondary shutting down both of those guys on every play, so the only solution is to get a hell of a rush on Bledsoe and make him screw up.
