We do play you guys in November and December, and that will undoubtedly be to our advantage


I seriously doubt you can count on the Cowboys having a December like we did last year. The coaches on this team now are known for making adjustments when teams find something to exploit... unlike Parcells who was just too stubborn to change.

Plus, like most teams with new staffs, we should be getting better towards the end of the year as the players get more and more used to the schemes. Heck, even though the Commanders only won 5 games last year, they still did improve *some* towards the end of the year on offense as they got used to Saunder's system.

Plus, like other's have said, your roster is precariously thin and just a couple of injuries at the right positions and you'll be staggering down the stretch.

I doubt the timing of these two games are anything close to an advantage for the Commanders.

you must not read Extremeskins. The majority of their members must be 12 year old kids because that's the kind of ridiculous stuff they write, although I admit it's good for a laugh. It's even funnier to read when their season comes crashing down again.:laugh2:

He is nowhere near the caliber of Chris Samuels.

Samuals 3rd overall pick in the draft, $47 million and a signing bonus of about $16 million. 4 pro bowls

Adams 2nd round pick 38th overall ..... 3 pro bowls

:laugh2:

You cannot even keep up with how many games your team has won and you want to "talk football"?

as far as "keeping up" ..... thats what your team has tried to do since the Cowboys came into the league .....

They have failed.

The original poster didn't put the author of the article in his post.

Of course the writer is none other than Mark Steven or one Om on Extremeskins. He's a longtime Mod on extremeskins, and while he is a terrific writer (one of the best anywhere on the internet, IMO), he is far, far, far away from unbiased.
Thank you for clearing that up.

To the OP, you should really include links and at least write the name of the writer. Looking at the ES website it seems you actually deleted the author's name in posting this. Probably OK for a fan blog, but it's very unethical and would be a large no no if this was an article from a larger news source.

It was a Commanders blog article about a preseason game that started out 'Don't look now, the swagger may be back....'

He was doing the author a favor by omitting that byline.

wow, what a homer, Samuels is only above-average

I have proven time and time again I am not a homer. Ask BigDFan5 he looked up my post history over at ES. I have given credit where credit is due to the cowboys many times. However, you on the other hand let your Commanders hate delude your thinking. This is the only possible explanation for thinking that Chris Samuels is only "above-average" He may not be the best LT in the NFL but he is certainly top five and I would bet most on this site would agree with me.

Samuels is a good tackle, but he's not great, so Flozell Adams is very much in his league, or unless you're saying Flozell sucks, is that what you're saying? if so, you are a homer

Your right. The guy was graded by KC Joyner has one of the best tackles in the league for no reason. Widely considered by many of the league scouts as the best run blocking tackle in the league must mean hes only above average right? Its hilarious your putting him in the same category as Flozell Adams. Theres homerism and theres insanity. You might belond to the latter.

Wow-this could very much be a FOUR team NFC East race. All of them have looked impressive from both sides of the ball.

Too bad though that the winner, b/c they're all beating up on each other, may not have a good enough record to have a first round bye.

This points up the incredible lack of depth on the Skins, and should tell you that the only chance they have at seeing .500 is if they stay really, really healthy all year long...

One or two injuries to your starters, and things will start to go downhill pretty freakin' quick... the only exception to that rule is at running back, where Betts ensures the Skins won't miss a beat if Portis goes down...

It's funny, you Skins fans think the injuries excuse the poor play by your offense, and that all you need is to get those injured starters back and you're gonna be ready to ROLL, bay-bee... but it doesn't seem to occur to you that injuries happen to most every team, most every year, and for sure you haven't bothered to contemplate what happens if the injury bug bites you...

Short sighted aren't we? Remmember two seasons ago when Flozell went down? Where was the Cowboy depth back then? Your entire offense took a complete nosedive after Adams injury.

There are certain players you can't replace despite the depth you have. LT is probably the hardest one. Good LT's are incredibly hard to find, getting backups even more.

No-not really. Our kicking game, quite frankly, was our undoing in that second half. And if any decently mobile QB had played instead of Led-Slow, we would have been OK.

Hardly anyone here, except for a few posters in this thread, ever said Samuels sux. To me, he's a pretty darn good LT, and a key to that Wash O.

It wasn't just Flo.

We lost Crayton, Julius Jones, Flo, and Rivera. Rivera played that whole year hurt until his season-ending injury vs you all. He hurt his back a couple of days after we signed him. Jacob Rogers was playing well in camp and was slated to start, but he was injured too.

That being said, our depth this year appears to be much better than two years ago. The Skins depth?

On Samuels.

If you gave me the choice between a healthy Samuels and a healthy Flo, I'd take Samuels. But Flo isn't far behind. I like how one person said that Flo is definitely in Samuels' league.

One thing I always see Cowboy fans cry about:

DeAngelo Hall: 3 Pro Bowls

Terrence Newman: 0 Pro Bowls despite being in the league for a longer period of time.

Damn look at ZERO Pro Bowls. Newman must suck :)
