Dallas and Washington are very much alike...

she's not saying our offense is bad (even though it is) she is saying that the Dallas D and the Washington O aren't playing to the talent level they have and what we expected in the start of the season

Especially if you put it that way, I disagree. The Dallas D is playing precisely to its talent level: poor. Many folks expected the Cowboys to struggle on defense this year.

As for the Redskins O, they are underperforming as a unit. But there is talent there which could produce differently.

Summary: moving forward, there is more upside to the Redskins O than there is for the Dallas D

Agreed there. I just don't think that the Dallas D is as BAD as everyone thinks or how they are playing now. I think they are better than that.

Dallas' front 7 is pretty nice, the defensive backfield sucks! Ware is a beast, and I like Spears, Ratliff, and James. Newman is an overrated Probowl POS!

^^Wow thanks Jsarno, I love my team but I am not blind to what is wrong with them. I could have a conversation with you because every point you made I would make a smiliar reply to Buster's post. Who knows had Campbell been able to have the time to groom like Romo he may be better. Romo hit his celing already, he ain't getting better.

Newman is overrated and he never deserved that extension he signed. He will be gone after next year. Backfield is horrible and has been horrible since Darren Woodson retired. When Hamliln got paid he just don't care about playing hard anymore. I enjoyed Carnell Williams trucking him week 1.
Ratliff & Ware are the only ones who ever brings fire. I have mixxed feelings on the front 4. Canty jetting off to the NYG hurts.

You have it right. That is exactly what I was trying to say. Sorry for the confusion, maybe I should get some sleep before I post. Redskins do have talent on offense but I just don't know if they prefer to run or pass.
