He was throwing the ball about 35 times a game with KC.

Right, but the point is he's not a drop back and beat you from the pocket consistently type of QB. He's best when the running game is clicking and he can work off play action or RPO's, screen game, boot game, etc.

He also had Kelce and Hill on the offense who are both better than anyone we have. My only gripe is Jordan Reed not getting more looks. He's our best pass catcher get him the ball. As matty said we are 4-2 and really should be 5-1 if it wasn't for that fluke Loss to iNdy

To be fair a vast majority of QB's in the NFL need those things as well. There are only a few passers I can think of, such as P. Manning, who can do it all on their own without a solid run game, good defense, etc.

I just checked. The Skins are still leading in the NFC East.

The word of the day is "DOINK" its also the sound of Dallas loosing.

SFREDSKIN · 10-22-2018, 02:23 PM

Wow!! The sideline pisser Kowitca was responsible for this penalty being called, great job!!

Controversial penalty on #Cowboys LP Ladouceur was result of #Redskins ST coach Ben Kotwica noticing what he considered illegal movement of ball during prep and bringing to Jay Gruden’s attention. Gruden alerted game officials and encouraged them to watch for it.

How great would it have been if Justin Tucker's kick had bounced off the upright?

DOINK would have been great to say to a Ravens fan as one describes our win, knowing that it also described their loss.

Ahhh opportunities lost

Then, just before the kickoff of our game, I was joined by a french Redskins fan, and a Redskins fan from Virginia enters the bar... followed by a Cowboys fan from Dallas.

Man that was back and forth during the whole game, a LOT of fun !
First time in my life I can make fun of a Cowboys fan face to face, that shit feels great!

I had to miss the game due to a very dire family situation, but this board and this post in particular are allowing me to experience it vicariously with great enjoyment. Thanks FrenchSkin and everyone!

Hope all is well with your family, that always comes first

BTW right now our yes our Washington Redskins are the 3rd seed in the playoffs and 3rd in the NFC standing (4-1) conf record. That is pretty damn good folks

KI Skins Fan · 10-22-2018, 02:52 PM

Any win against Dallas is a great win. They are still our biggest rival and there has been so much crazy stuff that has happened in this series that I am thrilled to get a win over Dallas under any circumstances. Compared to other finishes in this series, that missed field goal barely registers on the dagger in the heart scale of games contested by these two teams.

We obviously had a conservative game plan on offense and a defensive game plan to stop the run and then throw everything but the kitchen sink at Dak in passing situations. I fully endorse this game plan which was essentially forced upon us (especially on offense). The results speak for themselves. We had no turnovers on offense and our defense forced the Cowboys to turn the ball over multiple times, one of which resulted in our game-winning touchdown.

It seems to me that we Redskins fans might need to get used to the idea that our defense can now lead us and even score touchdowns. I'm starting to believe in our D and I think it can only get better. We haven't had that in a long time. With a dominant D, it might be a good thing for us to have a QB who doesn't take a lot of chances and doesn't turn the ball over, even if he misses some throws. It has been said that more NFL games have been lost than won. If that is true, then let our opponents lose to us by turning the ball over more than we do.

Great game played by your team yesterday. I cannot help but admire and appreciate the way Washington controlled the field position battle throughout the first half. Playing offense and defense on Dallas's side of the 50. Well played indeed.

I have always said the best way to beat the Dallas offense is to take away 21 and make Dak beat you with his arm. Which everyone (except Prescott and Garret) knows will not happen. Your defense did well at this Sunday.

I take back what I said about Alex Smith. His quick release and rapid check-downs kept the pass rushers at bay.

Adrian Peterson - who knew?

Kudos to showing up after taking the L, sandtrap. Many others wouldn't have.

AD has been the biggest surprise story of the league , I don't count Mahomes because the hype around him all off season.
