Cowboys vs Redskins ***Official Game Thread***

[DallasEast]

Had Cortez hit his FG in the first half we wouldn't be in this position.If it comes down to a field goal attempt, Cortez will either keep his job by nailing it or he's outta here.

[Jimz31]

2nd and like 4 and you pass???? Wasted down.

[ghst187]

not a good feeling thinking that its going to be up to cortez

[montgod]

Madden Fact of the Day: Parcells is 77-0 when leading into the 4th quarter.

.............

Yeah...Parcells ain't leading anymore.

[Wiggie McGee]

Still think we got screwed at the end of the first half with the clock. We should have had a shot for a fg then

[Tass]

I can hear my pulse pounding in my ears...

[k19]

I need a Beer . If I hadnt quit smoking I'd need one of those too

[smashmouth]

We need a first! We can't lose this game on Cortez!

[montgod]

Crap!!!

[Mr Cowboy]

Down to this play..........

[smashmouth]

DAMN! oFFSIDE!

[PatsWin2002]

whoa!

[dragon_mikal]

There's the game.

Thank you Payton. You suck.

[Gaede]

[Mr Cowboy]

amazing.........we lose

[Jimz31]

Idiot Playcalling!

[Mr Cowboy]

This one is on BP...........

[JonJon]

Up 13-0 in the 4th and lose. Way to go.

[BlueStar22]

we lose when Emmitt breaks the all time record, now when the triplets go into the Ring....

[smashmouth]

We lose!

[heavyg]

Abosolutley sick to my stomache. Someone needs a serious arse chewing after this game. I think we took the skins to lightley

[BigD]

I'm going to friggen cry. We dominated for 55 minutes and yet just stopped for the last 5.

[blindzebra]

Idiot throw, Witten's man fell down, Witten would have walked into the endzone.

[zagnut]

2 flippin' plays. That's it. That's all they did. Garbage.

[PatsWin2002]

This is it, kids.

[Mr Cowboy]

reminds me of the Campo years

[k19]

so glad we WASTED that time out around 6 minutes or so

[smashmouth]

This one is on BP...........I said it from the start.
If you play conservative on offense, you might lose. Guess what happened?

The only reason the deadskins opened it up, was because they had too. I wish we were the ones behind.

[PatsWin2002]

Still do-able!

[BigD]

Light is peeking through the clouds now...

[heavyg]

We get the ball back.......but what can we do? We have the WR's but havent set anything up all night

[kojak]

Still have life left in us.

[k19]

Never fear Jerrah's here :rolleyes: We're saved

[Mr Cowboy]

I said it from the start.
If you play conservative on offense, you might lose. Guess what happened?

The only reason the deadskins opened it up, was because they had too. I wish we were the ones behind.

Instead of palaying to win, he was playing not ot lose

[BlueStar22]

We could blame Cortez, but he was only a small part of the problem.

[smashmouth]

We need Newman to return this one.

[DefendeR]

Swim the pacific ocean to drown in the shores of Cali...that sums up tonights effort.
Roy needs to learn coverage. :bang2:

[BigD]

TT should be returning this punt!

[JohnsKey19]

well at least we have another chance

[mrecktid]

Sigh this sucks, when's the next time we play the Redskins? it'll be a long season til then :(

[PatsWin2002]

Time for Keyshawn to get open.

[k19]

I'd love to see Crayton take it to the house

[JonJon]

:eek: good...just let the clock tick away

[smashmouth]

Why didn't we field it?

[Draegerman]

Allowed too much time off the clock during that punt

[k19]

we need what 70 yards?

[smashmouth]

Arm is worn out!

[heavyg]

Whats with the short hops all of a sudden

[BlueStar22]

where's Price when we need him?

[PatsWin2002]

That was a lame duck. Damn.

[mrecktid]

how long does it take to run up and spike the ball? At least 10 seconds right? that gives us like 2 long plays :(

[Draegerman]

C'mon Drew!

[JohnsKey19]

bledsoe's arm is looking shaky under pressure. could be wearing down

[Mr Cowboy]

That's it.......

[smashmouth]

WHere is Romo! lol J/K

[mrecktid]

Spike That Sh1t

[smashmouth]

We need an out play!

[dragon_mikal]

.

...


Nice play I guess.

[smashmouth]

Hailmary!

[mrecktid]

sigh hail mary

[Draegerman]

Time for one last play

[heavyg]

This is just the worst!!!!!!!!

[JonJon]

mannnn..guys this sucks

[PatsWin2002]

Throw it to the house if you can Drew!

He looks weak.

[smashmouth]

We lose!

[dragon_mikal]

We suck...

Payton has to call a play like that even at the end. :lmao2:

[Draegerman]

How sick is this?

[Mr Cowboy]

I'm sick..............I need to throw up

[big dog cowboy]

This simply sucks.

[PatsWin2002]

sigh hail mary

Not exactly.:eek:

[Rack Bauer]

I don't care about the 5 sacks. Our pass rush, or lack thereof, lost this game.

[heavyg]

Gonna be a looooooooooooooong week. Lose a 13 point lead in the last qtr? Unaceptable!!

[zagnut]

Another game enters the Cowboys-Redskins history books.

[ghst187]

what gift that was...

[DefendeR]

Nice tribute to the triplets....lose to the 'skins....nice boys..
I hate you.

[Cbz40]

Well...we blew that one

[big dog cowboy]

I put this on Payton. He called a horrible game IMHO.

[DoomsDayD]

I cant wait to hear the excuses about this one.

[marchetta]

I'm Frikin' Sick!!! The 1st thing I'm going to do is erase my tape, and not watch ESPN all week. Maybe by next Sunday I'll be able to watch football again!!! DAMN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[heavyg]

With the weapons we have on offense why is Payton so darn conservative?

[Draegerman]

Everyone of them should be apologizing to the triplets for blowing this game on the day that we honored them!

[big dog cowboy]

I don't care about the 5 sacks. Our pass rush, or lack thereof, lost this game.
You are correct.

BTW, weren't you a little nervous about this one? Good call.

[JonJon]

uh oh...here come the "I told you so trolls"

[chicago JK]

I don't care about the 5 sacks. Our pass rush, or lack thereof, lost this game.

I thought we had excellent pass rush tonight.

[Armbender]

I Feel Like A Rape Victim.....with No One To Call!!!!!!

[JonJon]

btw, my whole week is officially ruined.

[Gaede]

I place this loss on Payton for calling to preserve a lead and not to score points, on Bledsoe for hopping important passes into the ground, and Roy and Glenn for not realizing that Santana Moss is fast

[PatsWin2002]

I really wanted to see Drew and BP pull that out. I can never really hate those guys, ya know.

Drew looked weak and needed to throw to guys that were past the markers....or the WRs get the blame for not getting there.

It's not like there was blitzing and the WRs had to come back to help Drew out.

I don't get it.

[ArmchairRedskin]

I'm not here to troll. Just to say heckuva game. I thought it was over in the third the way we played offense all night. This game was huge for us.

[kojak]

I blame Cortez. His missed field goal came back to haunt us. :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead:

[BlueStar22]

I blame Cortez. His missed field goal came back to haunt us. :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead:
again, that FG didn't lose the game.

[marchetta]

I blame Cortez. His missed field goal came back to haunt us. :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead:

Now you know why BP has been trying to replace him since preseason!

[Novacek84]

I'm sorry, I know we all love Roy Williams around here, but he can't cover a WR to save his life. This game is on him. You can't let the same guy beat you on the same play TWICE!!!

[Armbender]

Our 4th Down Defense Call .... Lost The Game

[Viper]

I'm not here to troll. Just to say heckuva game. I thought it was over in the third the way we played offense all night. This game was huge for us.

congrats

[Armbender]

Where Was The Rush

[big dog cowboy]

I thought we had excellent pass rush tonight.
What game did you watch? Brunell wasn't under pressure when it counted.

[Cbz40]

What game did you watch? Brunell wasn't under pressure when it counted.


Exactly

[rickwil61]

Ouch! This one hurts but you've gotta admit there's nothing like NFL football!

[big dog cowboy]

Exactly
This one hurts deep doesn't it. I don't know what to say.

[Cogan]

There was none...it's called the "Prevent". It "Prevents" you from winning.

[Cbz40]

This one hurts deep doesn't it. I don't know what to say.


I'm in shock.......Merry Christmas skins

[Rack Bauer]

The only time we got pressure was when we blitzed. Why, when it's 4th and long, did we NOT blitz? The WORST thing you can do on 4th and long is give the QB and WRs time to throw and time to get open. Our DL shows ZERO relentlessness when they rush the passer. Ware looked worse then Shante Carver out there. He kept jogging up to Samuels and then just locking up with him. No explosion out of him at all. You don't react to the OT, you FORCE the OT to react to YOU.

Roy also could of iced the game if he didn't drop that INT.

[Armbender]

Im Not Gonna Sleep Tonight....this Really Sux

[DoomsDayD]

This one hurts deep doesn't it. I don't know what to say.

Its easy to understand and know what to say. When you cant put points on the board you arent going to win many football games. This is what happens when you have an inept offense and an inept O-coordinator playing not to lose.
I could care less right now what they do the rest of the season. I figures just maybe we had a shot of making the playoffs this year and after the SD game i really got my hopes up high. But in reality it will be another year of looking forward to the draft and asking ADAM how the cap situation is.
And to actually think i was looking forward to the EAGLES GAME!!!

[Cogan]

On the next to last series, we run for 6-7 yds. on first down, then pass the next three downs for 2-3 yds. & turn it over on downs. Where is the run when the game is on the line?

[PatsWin2002]

It's always worse when you do the hard stuff and screw up the easy stuff.

[marchetta]

No one play lost us the game. It was a culmination of conservative offensive play calling, mental lapses in our secondary, and just plain old bad luck. For example, we were all over Brunell during his 3rd and long scramble, that should have been a sack. Then on 4th down he hits Moss for a TD. But, if Ellis gets to Brunell a split second sooner it's a sack. We just weren't suppose to win this one. I just hope they are young enough to put this loss behind them, and not let this create a snowball affect. After the first two games of the season, it's clear that our D is going to have trouble holding a team down for 4 quarters, and our O is not aggressive enough to put a team away when our D is playing well. So, lets just hope as the season progresses, both sides of the ball gain experience in how to put a team away early. BTW, I'm sure all of us saw this coming. With all the opportunities we had to end it early, we allowed them to remain in the game. When you do that, you deserve to lose.

[PatsWin2002]

Best quote I've seen on another board:

Ewwww. I just saw Daniel Snyder jumping in excitement. I feel sick.

[marchetta]

Damn, now I can't watch ESPN for a week. What am I to do?

[Draegerman]

Well, if there's any silver lining around this dark ugly cloud, perhaps tha Cowboys can learn from this and realize that you can't take some plays off just because you have a big lead.

I just hope that this mess will only help them to get better so that they can go for the juggler the next time and alleviate any hope of a comeback by their opponents.

[heavyg]

Damn, now I can't watch ESPN for a week. What am I to do?


Screw ESPN...lol......I never watch them anyway. Unless they are showing a Cowboys game. Then I do it with the sound off.

[Gaede]

Haha, the Cowboys have been blowing leads for a good five or six years now.

And uh, nope, still haven't learned!

[Cbz40]

Growing pains......Youg D played well for 3 1/2 quarters.

We have to move on.......learn from our mistakes and win Sunday.

[PatsWin2002]

This is the kind of game that will send BP back in to retirement.

[Silverstar]

I just started a thread and it's already on page 2.


:rolleyes:


Like I said in my thread, 13 points just won't get it done. We need to open up our offense and score more points, before we start playing games with the clock.

[BlueStar22]

well, now we see what kinda character this team has.

[StevenOtero]

Growing pains......Youg D played well for 3 1/2 quarters.

We have to move on.......learn from our mistakes and win Sunday.

One of the few people that posted something worth reading. Thanks Cbz! :)
I'VE BEEN SAYING MOVE ON ALL ALONG. LOL

[crazytown41]

13 points just won't cut it

Sit on a big lead? That's barely a lead. lol

I don't know what Payton was thinking.

[Cbz40]

One of the few people that posted something worth reading. Thanks Cbz! :)
I'VE BEEN SAYING MOVE ON ALL ALONG. LOL
This one is now history.....we as fans must put it behind us just like the team must. We still have 14 more games to play.

[marchetta]

Well...maybe we won't have to move up to get Leinart next year!

[skinsfan10]

thanks for a great game you guys. We hate your guts but people gotta respect the competition and how we take it to the last down. you guys have a good team but w/ this game " HAIL TO THE REDSKINS"

[Rack Bauer]

Sorry but the Offense was fine (other then Crayton dropping the ball at the end). When you play a team that supposedly has no passing game then you play offense the way we played offense today. PERIOD. The Defense lost the game. You give your defense a 13 point lead in going into the 4th quarter you should win the game.

Roy should have his star taken off his helmet for giving up 2 TDs on ONE play. The DL on those plays should also their stars removed as well. And Zimmer should have his ears ripped off his empty head since it seams his defenses tend to always choke with the game on the line.

The D showed no heart whatsoever when the game was on the line. No push up the middle and the outside rushers were pulling an Ebenezer Ekuban and just running behind the QB. Pathetic and they should be ashamed of themselves.

[JonJon]

Our 4th and long coverage MUST improve...no excuse for that at all...Dallas failed to make the stops when we needed to on Defense and failed to score big points when we could on offense.

OK A$$hole , I'm pretty sure that Roy is upset about it all. Just move on.
