We are going to get punched in the mouth Sunday Night

I don't think any team is playing better than the Skins right now. Except maybe Seattle. But PG-13's gimpy knee might slow him down a little.And even though the Boys lost to the Saints, they are at least offensively playing lights-out. Romo and Dez are carrying this team. And Murray is starting to resemble his usual quick,powerful self. Should be a good match-up.

I like it. Good vision.

Don't know why we have to have our backs to the wall before we turn the offense loose. it's almost like "get out of the way and let the team play ball"


Really though: win the turnover battle and keep the big (30+ yard) plays to a minumim and we will win. Easier said than done.

Completely Agree!! That won't be enough to win us the game however. But I DO BELIEVE this TEAM of COWBOYS Will WIN THE GAME!

[REDVOLUTION]

We have talked about:

"the time is now"

"have to turn the corner"

"taking it to the next level"



IT REALLY IS TIME.

"TIME" is running out for some players.




Sorry Tony, we would have loved to get you some better players BUT YOU have to make "YOUR RUN.... NOW!!!"

It's not the defense I worry about. I know what I'm going to get from that side of the ball. It's the offense and the HC/OC that worries me. Shanahan is going to find a way to expose this D even with a gimpy QB; they're going to score. Garrett needs to find a way to expose the Skins and put points on the board. He needs to come out up tempo, no huddle, attack and dictate. But I know he won't. I have a feeling he's going to get schooled.

Just got done re-watching that T'giving loss. Explosive plays by their offense (the blazer who caught the long TD, the long catch & run by Garcon.) along with TO's by Dez (fumble), and then Romo (2 picks) turned that into a very unorthodox game. Even then a couple of razor thin margin plays helped them hold us off. We put some big shots on RG3 - Hatcher & Ware.

It'll be a different kind of game this time I suspect. Tyron & DeMarco are back while Carter & Brent are gone. Might not play McCray again either I suspect given how he sat a lot last week and got burned deep on T'giving.

I expect a lower scoring game this week. I also expect us to take better care of the ball than last time. I am hopeful.

In reality, they could have beaten us by 35 points.

I'm trying to wrap my head around your logic here.

I was referring to the Saints.

That was a nice little "succinct" read. Thank you

I think you're vastly overrating how good the Redskins are playing right now. They've had a creampuff schedule the last few weeks and are having to fight tooth and nail like we are. Meanwhile Seattle's absolutely destroying everybody they play. Denver's just making it look easy with a 10 game winning streak. The Falcons have clearly earned the top seed in the NFC. The Packers are playing their best football. The Patriots have been over the last month.

Any of those teams would beat the Redskins right now on a neutral field by double digits.

RGIII is approaching Sainthood. I'm not sure he couldn't part the Red Sea with one wave of his hand and perhaps stop global warming. That said, he's banged up and doesn't have the mobility he had last time. That will reduce his ability by a tad because his scrambling buys him time to hit his secondary receiver.

Also, he's not Drew Breez and he doesn't have the Graham (Saints Tight End) playing for them and he sure doesn't have Darrrel Sproles in the backfield either. If we can keep Alfred Morris from destroying us and make RGIII have to throw the ball we should be ok. While he has been playing lights out, he generally is only reading one side of the field and he tends to stare down his receivers. I think our CB's should be able to make a few plays if we can get even a moderate amount of pressure on RGIII. If we can get him in third and long we should be able to do a few things.

Should be a fun gut-wrenching game. I'll be taking my Maloxx before kickoff no doubt.

[Arkyvarminter]

Santana Moss worries me. He always plays good against us. He could beat us deep. He and Morris we have to slow down.

Yep.

As for the OP....both teams ahead of schedule?
