Many people are going to come in this thread and laugh at me and point to tonights game and I fully understand your stance. However, the Skins always play well against us. Dallas is also coming off a very emotional win, many times a letdown fellows. After watching this Skins game tonight, this is probably the worst thing we could have hoped for.

I am not sitting here saying a letdown is a certainty by any means. I am just saying it is a possibility. It just seems like everything is adding up that way. A Skins win tonight would have made me feel much better about next week. Are the Skins really going to play this horrendously again? Again, I am not suggesting a letdown is going to happen, I am just saying I am scared it may.

The team has to realize that the win last week would mean nothing if they don't win the next two games........
This is not the time for letdowns, it is time to kick some #$% and win the division:starspin

It's easy to feel scared and nervous after seeing this team play like they did against them a few weeks ago plus the 5 losses.. but I really believe the game Saturday VS the Saints will spring board us to where we want to go :) not worried at all, just when we get them down a couple down TD's put the hammer down which we should be able to do, they don't have that offense the Saints do

The Skins have it all set up now - their season is a complete bust and tonight they have lost their dignity and manhood on national TV. The only way they can ever hold their heads up again is to beat the Cowboys next week.

Of course I am.



This team has looked like it's turned the corner numerous times just to fall flat on it's face. I'll be rooting very cautiously.

I think that the Cowboys have turned a "mental" corner. So no I'm not worried about a let down. The Commanders should be dismantled next week.

+1000!!! If this team doesn't realize the importance of stompin' the Deadskins next week they don't deserve to be in the playoffs!! Every game played for the rest of this season should be approached with the desperation they played with this past Sat. They have no time to underestimate anyone...especially a NFCE opponent who very well could've beaten them last month!!

Yeah, but I'm always nervous these days.....

If they could string together several games like they played against the Saints, I don't think I'd be worried...I'm still not sure what to expect from them, but I think it's safe to say this team will fight and not quit, they've been in every game this year and no one has blown them out plus Romo is playing fantastic and the D has really been impressive for the vast majority of the year. If the O can continue to start fast and get some leads on teams, I think that will help the defense even more.

We can and should win this game.

it's like Zorn said "forget putting together a game plan for the giants. Let's just focus on beating the Cowboys next Sunday." LOL!

While I dont believe it will happen... I am very nervous about Roy and our kicking situation.


Roy could have iced the game with that catch - he didnt
Folk could have iced the game with the easy FG - he didnt

Both issues are EXTREMELY "mental".. we all know Roy can catch and he isnt. We all know Folk can nail FG's and he isnt. Suisham is a heartbreaker.

I take no game for granted. Especially divisional games. Records me jack. It's the hate level.

Question: Did the Crapskins play bad enough that NBC wants to flex the Dallas Wash game OUT?

I personally wouldn't mind getting out of that spot

With this team's history of consistency, I'm not booking any game as a lock. Especially the Commanders.

We beat the 11-2 Giants last year to get our hopes up, then our hearts got crushed by Baltimore and Philly.

I dont go into any games "confident" because it makes the losses so much harder. However if we play with the focus and execution that we did against NO, we can go a long way, no doubt.
