What is it going to take for Dallas to win? Here are my thoughts:

  1. Defense - The Dallas defense must have a monumental performance from all 11 starters as well as backups for 60 minutes. Anything less and this game is a loss.
  2. Offense - Stop placing the game on Tony and his arm. He is not an elite QB and never has been. Expecting him to win a game constantly with his arm is unrealistic and unfair; it has to be a team effort.
  3. Special Teams - Special Teams needs to win the battle of field position and score at least ten points -- whether by field goals or returns for TDs.
  4. Coaching - The coordinators have to be creative on defense and balanced (between run and pass) on offense. Garrett must not allow himself to become the spectator he seems to be all the time. He needs to take control of his team and set the tempo.
Thoughts?

Asking a lot from this dysfunctional team. I'll settle for limiting the Skins to <5 big plays (over >20 yards) and not turning it over more than once.

I would suggest we do whatever's necessary to score more points than the 'Skins. Simple enough? You betcha.

If we need #1, it's over. That said, we need good performances, but not monumental. WAS had a good offense, not great. And they're defense and ST's aren't any good either.

Per Calvin Watkins, Bailey has made FG's from 51 yards in warm up. In that weather; WOW
