Happy Skins Fans are pretty SAD

[PacoReloaded]

I think the 'Skins D was great. And a win is a win. If you ask me WE were sucked in. Dominate for 55 minutes and then get the snot knocked out of you with 2 punches. Gibbs has this thing figured a lot better than Parcells. The 'Skins desereved to win. Think what Gibbs could do w/ the talent on our team and then make snotty remarks....

The Skins D was great because we made them look great. We didn't take our chances. We got too damn conservative. And we let them stick around.

SultanofSix, I've been a Cowboys fan since the year they opened for business. I ws at the '66 Championship game in the Coton Bowl and the '81 game at Candlestick. BP is running this team except when things go bad, like tonight, and then he blames his players and coaches. You could see the tide turning in the 3rd Q. BTW think about this: BP won the SB w/ the Giants; wnet to, but lost the SB w/ the Pats; wnet to but lost the championship w/ the Jets; and has already lost in the 1st round of the POs w/ the Cowboys. Can you see a pattern developing here....

 

[MikMak]

yeah, you scored 13 points. Total domination...........................


oh, brother

Any skins fan that is happy after the way they were dominated should be embarrassed.

Were you embarassed after Crayton's winning TD last year? By your standards we shoudl have been.

A win is a win. They showed more heart down the stretch and won the game. Period.

Well, it's difficult for me to believe you. I've looked at about 10 of your most recent posts. They just don't fit me as a Cowboys fan.

BP always takes the blame. He took it last year. He takes it whenever bad things happen because of him.

Kind of like a 9-7 domination of the Bears, right? Do you know how many times I've heard that from Commanders fans (I live in DC)?

 

[random Cs]

You're right. Talent and being the better team meant absolutely nothing tonight. Finally something I can agree with.

any given sunday...

Who said the Patriots would beat the Rams.. Pats had no WR's, no Rbs, and a no name defense.

The interesting stat of the week is the Skins have managed to get to 2-0 when losing the turnover margian each week. Thats almost mind boggling in this NFL.

While we take next weekend off we will watch the Niners beat you. Actually I cannot see that happening since the Niners are pathetic. Have fun in the Bay area for two weeks while we groom a new QB and play the AFC west.

If i ran my mouth about us winning the game then yes... i would have been embarassed. When a team controls you like that and you win on a 4th and 15 prayer with much help from the refs. And we had S. Moss, Brunell and Patten as our passing game who could not sustain a single drive for 3.80 quarters and then stole a win and i still ran my mouth about my team... then yes i would be embarassed...
..... Maybe you are one of those load mouth fans that i am reffering to... Your reference to last years game makes me believe that you are.
Shooting off at the mouth is only justified when you dominate a team or it's a playoff game. Not when you basically suck and may not win 3 more games all season... But i guess by your standards. Any time you win we should beat our chest about how great we are.


I hope you keep your feet clean because with this atitude they spend alot of time in your mouth............Period

Hey, we were only 5 inches to the left from 16


And only 5 inches to the left of winning the game

Did I say the Commanders totally dominated the Bears????

I was commenting on the ridiculous post saying the Cowboys had dominated the Commanders all game long. Well if they had than they would have had more than 13 points.

Dominating a team is what the Eagles did to the 49'ers.

Skins have to take what they can get, but I agree. Calling them paper tigers is a complement. Some team is going to go into a game vs the Skins, not respect their D, and destroy them.

some team is going to go into a game vs the skins, not respect their d, and get destroyed. Sure our playcalling was conservative, but what game were you watching. Their defensive playcalling was just as conservative. They rushed 4 most of the game and relied on keeping our WR in front of them, which they did for the most part except for the flea flicker. They have a good defense, they proved that last year, its just their god awful offense that costs them a lot of games

 

[halter91]

Even with all that, you still only scored 1 TD. Or maybe your offense can't come through in the Red Zone?

I can admit our offense sucks, but our D came through when it counted and your didn't. RW got toasted not once but twice. 14-13. Ugly win, but I'll take it. and so would all of you.

super, you started out in this thread saying any skins fan that was 'happy' should be embarrassed. first, i find it hard to believe that you werent 'happy' about crayton and vinnys last second heroics last season in DC. dallas wasnt exactly lighting it up on O til that last pass. and if you were not only happy, but gloating, more power to you- dallas won the game, didnt they? no harm, no foul. vinny and crayton beat springs and taylor. no need to hold back.

much like that dallas win, washington wasnt doing anything on offense monday night. am i happy we won? of course. i'm certainly not beating my chest saying how great the skins are. but i am happy we won.

you also said they won 'with much help from the refs'- this sounds like sour grapes. homerism aside, their were touchy calls on both sides. skins fans were pissed that craytons drop- at least by the letter of the NFL rule book- should have been a catch and fumble- 2 feet down, turning upfield which is a 'football move'. sounds like a fumble to me. and there was another fumble by dallas that wasnt called. there were also holding penalties that skins fans are saying werent called- including thompsons return in the final minute. there were 2 horse collar tackles that could have been called against dallas that werent. bad calls? sure there were.

for the record, i'm not sure the hit to the head on brunell in the end zone was a hit to the head.

i give credit to dallas D for playing the way they did. i think, as football henry said in another thread, that dallas has the best team they've had in years. i also dont think that roy williams was as bad as dallas fans are saying- on both long balls, he was literally inches away from touching the ball and breaking up both passes. no, he didnt make the play, but he was as close as you can get without actually making it.

am i happy with our O? no. but i also realize that both the bears and the cowboys have very good- if not great- defenses. your guys got to brunell 5 times monday night. portis didnt have any room to run. that worries me.

but, if you expect the skins fans to not be 'happy' about the game monday because the offense didnt make a play for most of the game, then you should apply that logic to yourself- not only as it applies to last years win in DC- but your own offenses performance monday night. at least the skins beat your stout D on 2 straight up passes- and very good ones at that- as opposed to having to resort to a gadget play. by your own logic, you ought to be embarrassed about your teams only TD.

you mentioned the skins might only win 3 more games all year and ranted about how bad they suck. the skins are #10 in total offense (against 2 very good D's) and #4 in total D. where do the 'boys rank? 18th in total offense, 20th in total defense. and this after playing one of your two games against our horrible team.

its almost poetic justice- crayton beating taylor in the last half minute for the winning TD last year, then taylor breaking up a pass to crayton that would have almost certainly gotten dallas a first down close to FG range, on a monday night, where the skins hadnt won in 10 years, when the triplets get inducted into the ring of fame, when dallas had the game won moments earlier.

yeah- i'm happy.
