Had a few last night so I thought I'd wait until I came down to post. Always the best feeling beating the Skins hands down. The whole pregame show was about the Skins and taking the division blah blah. Show me a fan who can watch that game and root for the Cowboys to lose for draft positioning and I'll show you a true wagoner. I don't pretend to believe the Cowboys are going anywhere but Damn, that's an awesome feeling.

Good:
Having every ESPN expert pick Washington. I could drop my bet fast enough. It's a sure guarantee.
:espn:

Sean Lee, what a beast, hoping for good health. This guy really deserves it.

DLawrence, showed some real flashes, good for him. He gets there fast if you don't get a body on him.

Byron Jones, looks like they finally found a true cover/free safety. Darren Woodson would be proud.

Rob Marinelli, way to shake it up Rob, looks like Callahan didn't know what hit'em. I swear I could see Callahan mouthing that SOB on the sideline several times. :D

Dallas defense, stout against the run and the pass. So much for how Callahan was going to destroy this defense. Held Skins to 2.8 yards a rush. Washington's first home loss of the year. What a difference Claiborne's return and letting Jones move to safety to cover the TE makes.

Bad:
Doug Free, really has issues with speed rushers. His feet are too slow. He wiffed bad on the LB on the goal line and made it worse by chasing him which let the DE follow him right to McFadden.

Wilcox, my personal pet peeve. Even when they scheme to keep him off the field he finds a way to screw up. His facemask penalty on Washington's kick return with a minute left was almost as crucial a screw up as his wiff on Matthews OT catch to end the Eagles game. Twice he met the Washington rookie RB in the hole and missed a sure tackle. Those two guys are high on my replacement list for 2016.

Offensive PI on Witten. What the heck is that? He pushes the guy pressing him off the line and that's a penalty?

Washington's cheerleaders. tacky cheap outfits. Super short shorts in 40 degree weather? What do they even call them? the squaws?

Whoever picked 2nd picked Dallas and then Ditka did also. How about Berman?

The arse clown Berman will never pick Dallas.
I think he cried, a lot, back in the 90's, as we beat his beloved SF and Buffalo teams. He still not over it.

When we play Buffalo in a few weeks, i wonder how he will be. i bet they won't show highlights of the SB's over and over like they will on GB plays coming up this week against us.
The ice bowl and the cheated catch will be played over and over. but us beating Favre, will not be played.

Berman needs to retire already.....as well as Meshawn and Tom Jackson...I try and avoid ESPN at all costs but had no choice last night leading up to the game because had friends over.

Apparently 7 million people have the same thought. At this point, I don't think I would miss ESPN if it was not around anymore.

Seems to me that this Dallas offense should be operating more efficiently, even without Romo at the helm. The extent to which it is so chronically anemic is alarming and doesn't speak well of our offensive schemes and coaching. Their insistence on clinging to ultra-conservative and overly predictable play calling isn't doing much to produce extended drives. It desperately needs to improve.

I think it was actually a hands to the face call (or should have been). And this team gets more hands to the face calls on them than any team I've ever seen.

The offensive PI on Garcon was far worse of a call.
