A few takes...

Felix Jones: This does boggle the mind and nothing that I've read from Wade et al really makes much sense as to why he didn't get any touches...Moreover, how is it possible that the screen hasn't been made a part of the playbook, particularly with Felix in the mix?...Just bizarre.

Blueprint to beat Dallas: Almost a carbon copy of the game last year at Texas Stadium in that they shortened the game by keeping the Cowboys off the field and 'forcing' them to either take chances or give up on the running game...They did both...No patience from Garrett et al and perhaps having too many weapons or choices on offense ends up for a predictable response when facing a team like the Skins yesterday...You want to give yourself a chance to beat Dallas?...You keep them off the field by forcing them to abandon the run and shut down T.O. & then run riot through a porous D.

Pass Defense: Does this fall on Stewart, Wade or some combination of both?...All this talent and talk early in week about how this secondary is destined for great things and the one player that always gives them headaches, did it again, in Moss...How is that possible?...Moreover, failure to give consistent pass pressure remains a constant for the D.

Run Defense: Commanders looked like the offensive juggernaut rather than Dallas as they pretty much got to do what they wanted to do, especially run the ball...This was not an area I was concerned about too much going into the game...Where's the brightspot on defense?

Physical advantage: Seems like another aspect to the 'Blueprint' for playing Dallas is to 'punch them in the mouth'...They seemed to do that yesterday winning the battle of line of scrimmage on both sides of the ball...Been awhile since that's something you could've said about this team...Where's the physical nature of this team?...Is soft going to be the new label?

I guess the Jason Campbell haters are now trying to figure out a spin on how he orchestrated the win yesterday :rolleyes:

The Commanders will face a defensive team and they will get beat. Their offense just isn't that good. It just appears as though the Cowboys just don't know how to game plan for the Commanders.

The DB scheme is not working plain and simple. This playing 15 yards off is killing us on 3rd downs.
