Definitely the icing on the cake for me is the no top draft pick for sucking. This place would meltdown over that.

The great thing about that game is that it will be another home game for the Cowboys. Commanders fans are deserting in droves and Cowboy fans in the area will only be too willing to pick up their tickets, especially if we can go there on a roll.

I'll be there with 4 others!

Many thanks to the Commanders and Giants for making life as a Cowboys fan in the northeast much more enjoyable this season.

Right...the elite Eli? Oh how the great one as shown his true colors without a defense behind him.

And, Oh how the future QB play in football, RGKnee, might be picking splinters out of his butt since his team has not helped him.

But, the QB touches the football on every play! He is the most important person on the field! If that is true, then why are those two QB's stuck in the cellar?

BECAUSE IT IS A TEAM SPORT! (except when it comes to the QB of the Cowboys...of course)

Gotta love Shanahan, he carries a grudge better than most. LOL.

Don't worry about it. If that 45-10 drubbing this past weekend told you one thing, it's that the Commanders have officially called it a season.

Until they play us....................it will be like a freaking playoff game to them...............nobody every lays down for us.

Shanahan could also end up losing his job. Skins made a big investment on RGIII so if they bench him Shanahan better be right.

Normally, I would agree with you. But this isn't your normal situation. When your head coach is the biggest poison pill in the locker room, you've got issues. Shanahan is going to make sure he steals the silverware before he steps off that sinking ship. LOL.

no matter what the problems are with the skins the game against the cowboys in two weeks is there superbowl. for one game they will forget all of there problems and show up and play the game of year for them. they would love nothing more then to ruin our playoff chances no matter how slim they are right now.

Given the reports about a rift between himself and RGIII I don't think anyone is buying it. You bench a guy like that when the team gave up a lot to get him and Cousins does not fair any better then he is putting his butt on the line. By the way in cousins limited action he has 0TD and 2 ints

You really need to read between the lines. This is all about sticking it to Snyder and RGIII, this has NOTHING to do with RGIII's health, what's best for the team, etc.

Shanahan is already gone, buddy.

If Snyder felt that Shanahan was sticking it too him he would already be fired. I do think the odds are Shanahan will be gone given the high expectation they entered the season with

Cousins will play well and he'll leave the next coach with a QB controversy.

Hmmm...I'm only about 5 hours away.

Okay, so you really think Shanahan is benching RGIII to protect him from getting injured? You honestly think that?

Rumor has it that Shanny wants the Houston job. Snyder will be doing him a favor to fire him before the season's done.

Would the want him considering Kubiak is essentially a Shanny disciple... And would Shanny take the job of his buddy? Kyle woul be back as OC probably..

Shanny has like $15 million still left on his contract..........he is not going to just walk away from that kind of money...........he is going to jerk around with RG3 and Snyder until he gets fired.........then he takes his $15 million as severance pay and go to Houston.

Shanny aint quiting and forfeiting $15 million..................if he has to start throwing games to get fired he will..........and there are ways to do it without being obvious, like start going for it on 4th down, start kicking onside kicks after scores, calling running plays on 3rd and long, playing backup players over vets....................stuff like that to lose games without it being obvious.

No I think he has issues with RGIII but I don't' think he is so call sticking it to Snyder and if Snyder felt that was the intent then I think he would fire him. Danny Boy is not opposed to firing a coach even during the season, he has done it before. I think Snyder will let it play out and see how Cousins does. All I'm saying is when a HC makes a move like this with a player the franchise gave up a lot for you better be right about making the change

Why had he better be right? He is going to get fired and he is going to get paid, which is exactly what he wants. He is not trying to salvage this season. C'mon man!
