Any fire left for Commanders week

[ChooChoo73]

They are still my most hated after Philly. Our defense may not be able to crack an eggshell but we have enough to stomp a mudhole. I want Deangela Hall to be posterized by Austin in the worst way.

Ah now if there is ever a game for me where I want to see Garrett set a new standard as the Dalals Cowboys Head Coach it's this game where as Head Caoch he faces the Commanders for the first time.

Thats because, if you remember where the Garrett hate as OC started around here long ago, one iconic game was against the Commanders in Felix Jones rookie season (I beleive). That was the year/game when we played the skins early in the season and they kept setting up their defense to force Dallas to audible away from the Felix Jones run. In weeks before it was virtually unstoppable.

Because Dallas ran such a passive read-and-react offense back then, the Skins effectively outcoached Garrett and dictated the game to him. Simply by his way of audibleing, they Resdkins outcahched Garrett out of using Dallas's big running threat.

As Head Coach now, Garrett MUST set a new standard for these riavlary matchups. He's done it so far, but against the Commanders it's imperrative. Tecmo Bowl muxt die with the very team it firsrt resurrected its ugly head.

Garrett simply MUST beat the Commanders in his first meeting with them as Dallas' Head Coach.

We seriously could have a whole second half with Rex Grossman if we can shut McNadd out in the first half.

It's Dallas, they'll have fire.

And then the non-kneeldown this year...

The old saying around here is that as a Cowboys fan we would be happy with just 2 wins a year as long as both were over the Dead skins LOL !

I live in the DC area as well. Lot of crap talk about Orakpo never getting a holding call. Makes me sick to my stomach to hear it. They conveniently forget about having 5 downs yesterday to score a TD against Tampa. I never thought I'd say it but we have the better kicker in this game.

They had only four downs. Fox had the yellow line wrong on the catch that put the Skins inside the 5, then never noticed that it was first-and-goal instead of second-and-1.

 

[LittleBoyBlue]

The fire is burning stronger than ever.

Guys are tackling. When they miss a tackle they get up and start pursuit again.

Went from getting 1 turnover every other game with Wade to averaging 2 turnovers per game with Garrett.

Plenty

 

[ZeroClub]

My fire has about gone out ....

I'm tired of this mediocrity. I'm looking forward to the end of the season. The NFL draft will be more interesting than watching Jerry's team finish yet another disappointing season.

How could we all--fans, players, coaches--not be fired up? Third place in the NFC East is on the line!
