Look out Commanders!!!

[Bizwah]

unlike every other skins fan, for some reason, I think we will actually have a good game next weekend.

two weeks to get all of our players healthy, and two weeks to try and figure out why we are so inept.

For some reason, I just think we are going to come out with a fire to us.

But then again, we could just come out like the regular Commanders that we have all gotten to know

I agee.

It's going to be a typical Skins/Cowboys game.

Unpredictable.

We SHOULD win.

But, the Skins and Cowboys seem to defy all convention.

You might wind up beating us by 30....we might do the same to you....Or it might be a tight, hotly played game.

That's why our rivalry is the best in the NFL.

You'll be at your best next week.

We can count on it.

 

[Bizwah]

Yeah, you both had your mistakes, but the cowboys just made the most of their takeaways.

True....

I'm not saying that the Panthers melted down.

But I've read on ES that they gave us the game.

That statement can't be further from the truth.

They had just as many opportunities to kill us....but they didn't.

it's the same stupid, foolish optimism

but at least noone on ES is making fun of our future QB situation, too much hand-wringing going on about their's LOL

well, I missed the game from about 13 minutes left in the 4th(or maybe it was 3rd), to about 3 minutes left in the 4th.

So I didnt see the part when dallas actually took the lead, so I cant comment on stuff that happened in between there.

But there were some things like the steve smith muffed punt that pushed them back deep into their territory, and the delhomme int that are really inexcusable.

Biz- i'm not sure if we're saying the same thing here, but here is the panthers 4th quarter- a quarter which they began with a 14-10 lead-

4th Quarter
Time/ Poss Drive/ Began # of/ Plays Yards/ Gained Result
9:37 0:28 CAR 26 ...3 0 Punt
5:31 0:51 CAR 2 ....2 4 Int
2:14 0:20 CAR 23.. 2 -4 Fumble
1:03 1:03 CAR 26.. 6 9 End Reg

a 3 and out, followed by 2 plays- resulting in an INT, and another 2 plays that resulted in a fumble. that's 7 offensive plays they ran while the boys made them pay with 21 offensive points which the cowboys drove 14, 34 and 19 yards for.

thats a meltdown of monumental proportions. if paranoid fans like mansta think thats taking something away from the boys, i am sorry. it is what it is.

But again, how come their mistakes are them "giving the game away", but ours are glossed over?

The fact is, we made our share of mistakes, but overcame them. You said it correctly when you said we "took advantage".

I don't know if you're trying to say it, but we EARNED that victory. We didn't give up despite being down 14-0.

We doubled their yardage...we dominated TOP. We outclassed them in every single statistical category.

That was a legit win.

They GAVE us nothing.

I'm not sure you watched, or charted the game correctly, we were up 21-14 in the 3rd quarter

 

[big dog cowboy]

If the Skins put Campbell in, they are as good as done.

funny stuff, so I guess we're the only team in the league to force more TOs than the other team and win

But you ignore the first quarter.

A quarter where we missed a FG that led to their first TD.

A quarter where Romo gave them a gift INT.

We GAVE them 14 points.

What's the difference in the mistakes?

I'll tell you.

We overcame them.

They didn't.

We drove the field on them almost at will. So, it's not like they were beating us up.

 

[Phrozen Phil]

Romom clearly was the difference in this game. I'm sure Greg Williams will be creative in trying to get a pass rush on Tony. The big question for me is who will start at QB for the Commanders? The other question will be Which Commanders team will show up, the one that plays up to potential or the one with limited team chemistry?

 

[Bizwah]

No, he's right.

We started the quarter down 14-10.

But we were driving at the end of the third.

We kicked a FG to come within one....then we got the ball on the ensuing KO.

We scored a TD on the next play to take a 21-14 lead.

I've never said the Panthers didn't meltdown. They did.

But we had a "meltdown" of our own in the first Q. The fact is, we didn't let it kill us. We continued to play hard.

The better team won.

 

[Concord]

Guys, let's not get too cocky. Like TO said, we have to take it one game at a time. You know Commanders will come out to play, and they have a bye week.

Exactly...No game is in the bag...Ever!
