****, he's outplaying the guy wearing #11 as well.

Its not even close either. Crayton has done more for this team this year than Roy has and that is truly pathetic.

Exactly what I said.

I'm having a hard time believing that 81, in our offense, wouldn't be easily outperforming Roy Williams.

By no means am I advocating that keeping Owens would've been a good move, but at 36 he's just as good if not better than 27 year old Roy Williams.

Uh, yeah except after a game like tonight he would burn the building down.

Roy actually said after the game he would rather have his usual 2 for 27 yards and a win than big numbers and a loss because losing sucks.

The reason this team has a chance after losses like this to still be a good team with a shot at something is because guys like 81 are gone.

To be fair. Had Owens made the comments that Roy has made this year. Regarding balls being thrown better to other receivers. Pointing to the lights. That fumble. He would've been crucified.

As much as Roy has gotten ripped apart, he's gotten a pass - especially considering how much we gave up, how much he's getting paid, and his general attitude since he got here. Excuses, finger pointing, defensive bull**** interviews - easily my least favorite player on this team.

Garrett's playcalling is to offensive football as paint-by-numbers is to Picasso. Garrett may may be Princeton smart, but he's football DUMB!

This is a ridiculous statement. Garrett's play calling has been fantastic. But Garrett doesn't miss one-on-one blocks on the offensive line, he doesn't catch balls over the middle, he doesn't run the patterns.

The play calling was not THE problem or even A problem today. The problem was poor offensive line play, and the play of one enigma of a talented but undisciplined wide receiver.

We better not run Garrett out of town, he's a young bright offensive mind and highly respected in this league. If he goes elsewhere, he'll be haunting us for years to come.

I may be in the minority, but I consider the loss of Columbo and Jenkins to be far bigger than losing the game. I will be watching for news of them all week and wondering. We had been sort of blessed with no big injuries and just like that, two in one game. That hurts.

Look, I said last week we would lose again and there wouldn't be any need to over react. It still holds true. It is hard in the NFL to win back to back game on the road in big situations. On the positive side (yes, there is one) the Eagles also lost so we maintain our lead in the Division. That is the big picture at this point.

Turnovers and time of possession. We lost these key indicator stats. Three turnovers to zero and a nearly 12 minute deficit in the Offense holding the ball. You can't win in the NFL with those kinds of stats unless you get stupid lucky. When you add double digit penalties to the mix, you might as well look to next week's games because this week is gonna suck.

It sucks to lose. No one who is a fan likes it. But if we had to lose one of these two games, I will choose this one over the Eagles to lose every day of the week and every year.

It is hard to come up with anything positive from this game. About the only thing I can say positive is that DeMarcus Ware got two more sacks and is in top form going into the stretch run. We're going to need him.

I've grown accustomed to the over reactions to losses. I don't know whether that is good or bad. This week there are reasons to be upset because for the first time all year the team truly did not do anything that put them in position to win the game.

Like I said, we're still atop the NFC East. The big picture should still outweigh a bad week, but it won't.

I'm with you, if I could only win one of the two games, I'd much rather beat Philly.

I'm also VERY concerned about the loss of Columbo and the injury to Jenkins. Everyone keeps saying the Commanders suck and it's going to be an easy sweep, but I've never felt that way. Even if we had won the game and came away with no imjuries. It would make their year to take us down a notch and now their coming in with confidence after beating Denver.

The Skins have a good D and can pressure the QB and I am really worried about this game and believe we could easily lose it if the O continues to wobble and we can't run or stop their pass rush.

And if we don't get up on the Raiders early and motivate them to start Thanksgiving early, we could be looking at a 3 game losing streak.

Things change fast in this league, we're gonna find out what this team is made of real quick.

Dallas had been pretty hot. They come in for their second straight road game, after an emotional win last week, against a team that typically has a strong home field advantage and has their backs against the wall.

It wasn't a reach for this Dallas team to look flat today.

Its going to happen in a long season.

My sentiments on this game too. I was worried about this game on the road against a not so bad team. Dallas won at Philly in a tough game last week and they were just pitifully flat today. The real problem from today was the injuries.

Kind of how I get sick to my stomach every time I see Sean Payton.

I'm going to have to put most of the blame on Roy Williams for his fumble on a nice pass from Romo which could have extended a scoring drive. The next bad play was on a 3rd and long, Romo zipped a nice pass over a defender, towards the sidelines and Williams let it go right through his hands. Another drive killer. Those two key plays could have turned into possible points and gave our offense some momentum.

Woodson made a good play in hitting Williams' arm to jog the ball loose. I can't fault Roy Williams for attempting to make something happen and trying to make a hustle play.

Mutants here refuse to believe it, but sometimes the other team just makes a play. That was one of those times.

The dropped pass later was inexcusable, however. I think he needs to just lose the visor. Also, I might be crazy, but I don't think that dropped pass killed that drive...if I recall correctly, Patrick Crayton still picked up the first down a play or two later.
