MNF - Let's not overlook the Skins

[Eddie]

The Skins are pumped. 121 rushing yards by Clinton Portis. He's going to be a monster we have to contain.

We have a huge match-up next week against the Skins. Let's forget our record against them. They have an axe to grind, and as you can see from all the games this weekend ... nothing is on paper is for certain.

Granted, the Skins barely beat a horrible Bears team, but I guarantee, they will give us their all.

Let's start from scratch ... play mistake free football, grind it out with Julius and the other RB's, contain Clinton Portis, and force whichever Skins QB to win the game for them.

But damm it ... get that Special Teams in order!!!

The Commanders didn't even score a TD today. We do have to worry about looking past them though, we get the 49ers in two weeks.

Cowboys are still a team that can't afford to look past anyone and as far as the win streak aginst the Commanders does not mean a thing come next monday we have to go out there and perform. During the upcoming week many around here will talk about having the skins number but all of that is in the past and has nothing to do with the upcoming game itself

This is a team wehave beaten 14 out of 15 times we've played them. They havent beaten us in Dallas IN A DECADE!!!!! We won a SB more recently than they've won here. We have beaten them with the likes of Chutch, Quincy, Wright and Vinny T. Campo was 5-1 against them. Gailey never lost to them.

Forgive me for not being scared. I do think it will be close though.....

 

[CanadianCowboysFan]

If the game were at FedEx, then I would worry but it is at home. I think we will do fine.

 

[calico]

I am not overlooking them. They have a better D than San Diego. They will pressure Bledsoe more. I am not afraid of their offense, but it should be a good game.

 

[The30YardSlant]

Let me put it this way:

SD >>> racial slurs

Game in Dallas

Triplets going into the ROH

Crowd will be as pumped up as they have been in a decade

If we lose, this will be a long season

 

[Scotman]

I hope we don't look past them either. We aren't there yet. I agree we have simply owned them in recent years. I just want to make sure we own them again.

 

[Badattitude]

The Skins have a Superb D this will be a knock em down Football game....I expect a tight one that could come down to our kicker...

LT >>>>>>>>>> Portis

LT >>>>>>>>>> Portis

Bingo

 

[StarMan2112]

Dallas can't look past anyone. The Commanders have a very good defense.

 

[The30YardSlant]

Their defense was just as good last year (actually, better) and we beat them twice with Intercepteverde and a TERRIBLE defense.

 

[Dale]

Granted they have Portis, but we held a better running back in LaDainian Tomlinson to 72 yards and a sub-4.0 yard average. Our run defense, to me, was actually surprisingly impressive today. If I'm not mistaken, Tomlinson got about 30 of those 72 yards on just the opening drive. Also, they have a far inferior quarterback, and two that are far more sack friendly.

I think the biggest key will be establishing the run against them, which will be difficult. They're gonna be after Bledsoe, and Gregg Williams knows his weaknesses having coached him. If we can back them off a bit with Julius, it'll help Bledsoe's cause. But, then, that'll be the story for this team all season long.

Owned.

Does that mean you give us a chance?

 

[The30YardSlant]

Does that mean you give us a chance?

No, it means he's covering his arse so he doesnt look like a complete fool like he did today should Dallas win

 

[Boy's fan in Giant land]

I agree 100% that we can't afford to look past them (or anyone) but then again, it's not like it's the Eagles comming to town next week.

And to add to the growing list, Brees>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Ramsey/Brunnel.

Don't ever make the mistake of linking one week to another in the NFL....today is already in the past....this is the NFL of today - on any given Sunday...any mediocre team can beat any slightly above mediocre team and there's only 1 Great Team....*sigh* ....Parity

 

[Cowboy from New York]

Goes without saying u have to respect the skins D. But their offense couldnt score a TD against a team that punted 7 times and turned it over 2 more times.
I would think BP will playing it a little conservative and pound JJ at them but I also believe that we will see the continuation of the pattern started this week, Bledsoe making teams pay for stacking against JJ.
