Dallas Score Predictions

RedskinRat, they scored 21 points in the last Monday night game with Vinny Testaverde at QB. And that was with our vaunted D, which included Fred Smoot and Antonio Pierce.

Don't overestimate our defense based on their performance against the Bears. I'll agree they're the saving grace for our team this year, but Bledsoe is hot and not nearly as immobile as everyone has said, Jones is a good running back (though I do believe we will stuff their running game), and Witten, Crayton, Johnson and Glenn will prove to be too much to handle. Plus, as good as our D is, we have trouble pressuring the QB without a blitz. Trust me, Bledsoe has seen every blitz package imaginable, and he will adjust to it perfectly.

None of this even accounts for the fact that Parcells has always had Gibbs' number, and the Cowboys have always had the Redskins' number -- no matter how good Washington is or how bad Dallas is.

I hope I'm wrong, but they're going to clobber the Redskins Monday night.

I also hope you're wrong

Our D only has to make one Blitz work and Bledsoe will be done. Their back-up is Romo, who I expect to see him early in the 3rd.

As we're in our second season of the same scheme of D so I look for an increase, not a plateau or decrease. Taylor isn't a rookie anymore, our corners, far from being worse for the loss of Bailey and Smoot seem to have gotten better. Our D line are overachievers of the highest calibre and I hope soon that people start treating them like stars. The LB corps.....Ooooooh, Lordy!

As for them having our number, I see it like the passing of the Ice Age (although I'm not actually old enough to talk from experience) in that we are due our turn of dominance. I think that the team is entering its warming phase, soon to be tropical.

Let's all enjoy the balmy days ahead.

I wish I was more confident in the score, but I would pick the skins to win if they were facing anyone...

Redskins 18
Dallas 16

[TheMalcolmConnection]

Skins 17, Dallas 10

[TheMalcolmConnection]

And if we lose, the score will be flipflopped.

I can't believe some are picking against the Skins already. I usually save that for later in the season.

i believe that's saying dallas is a 6 point favorite and the over/under is at 36... take the under, and take the over with oakland, all year long.

Actually that means they have Dallas by 6 with and over/under of 36. Pretty damn low over/under.

Slinging Sammy, I think you have misread the line, they are not predicting a Redskins victory of 36-6. That 36 is the over under, basically the odds makers are saying it will be a low to moderate scoring game, if you look at Oakland vs. KC the over under is 53. All of the favorite teams have the smaller of the two number, so for the line you posted they have the Cowboys as a six point favorite. I hope you are not making bets, if misunderstood the line to be a 36-6 Redskins victory, please do not take this as a personal attack either.

I think this game will prove how good our defense is because I dont think we deserve the 1# defense title until we show it against a worthy offense.

[DirtBagZ]

I think this is going to be a low scoring game, for the Redskins to win, Dallas will have to be held to two touchdowns or less. I cannot get a good feel for this game and I think that the Skins are going to have to play flawlessly to win, which is going to make it difficult for them to win.

Until we see consitent performance and scoring from the offense it is hard to say otherwise, our current track record on offense has been one of low scoring and scoring less than 21 pts a game. I think it is a lot to ask of the Skins to play flawlessly, but until the offense gets its act together that is going to be the case. The Redskins, cannot have turnovers, big penalities, or mistakes in the kicking game/special teams, also the running game will have to effective and Washington will have to control time of possesion. The Defence is going to have to shoulder the heavy burden, of not giving up any big plays down field, or committing penalties to give the Cowboys second chances. My big fear is that the defence will get worn down from being on the field and give up the one big play to the Cowboys.

I am going to be an fan, though, cannot pick the Cowboys

Redskins 16 3 FG, Portis breaks one for a TD
Cowboys 14 Bledsoe 1 TD 3 INTS, Dallas D returns Brunell pick for TD

The kid from Maryland becomes a hometown hero, which could prove lucrative look at what Jess Atkins parlayed his Redskins job into being a sports caster.

I don't know about you, but this game is the beginning of a new era in Redskins football. Mark (Brunell) my words. The Redskins win this game easily 31-13. The tide has turned. The Gibbs pass offense will be in the house. We throw at Terrance Newman and burn his ass. By the way, the Redskins defense is ranked #2 in the NFL and offense #16 in the NFL. Ahead of Dallas, Giants and Eagles in both statistics.

SUNRA I suspect you posted what you posted because Beemnseven predicted a Cowboy victory. However I don't think you follow your own advice about demonstrating logic in your own post. You post does not have much logic to support the opinion that you state that the offense will be much improved and put up 31 points on the Cowboys. I think it is mostly wishful thinking on your part.

STPainmaker, gives a logical explanation of how Beemnseven could arrive at his prediction.

<SNIP>.

Given the recent history of the Redskins versus the Cowboys and Gibbs versus Parcells, it is easy to see why many fans do not feel confident about the Redskins winning, this does not make them anyless of fans. Nor does it make their posts not logical. Logically speaking, my thinking regarding this game is more along the lines of Beemsnseven. Being a fan though, I predicted a low scoring Redskins victory, and the logic behind it.

There have been calls for unity amongst those of us who form Redskin Nation, and I agree. I even made an effort to honor the original poster's request to not mention the QB issue. I know I have posted some inflammatory remarks in other threads becuase I was angry with the choice for I thought, here we go again, last years ugly offense all over again. I am probably skirting the line with that last comment and my prediction of a Brunell INT returned for a Dallas TD. With that said I am not going to post anything more about Brunell in this thread.
