No more messing around...

Actually, you cant lose to a 2-5 Commanders team and think we are playoff bound.

The boys will have to win this one big, upset the Colts and then hammer the bucs on Turkey day before anyone should be thinking playoffs.

Yep. Totally agree. I'm holding out to see where we stand after the Bucs game.

You act like Washington is the Texans or something. They're exactly the type of team that can, playing their best football, bite you in the butt. I thought you were a little smarter than to have an emtional reaction like this (i.e., to throw the team under the bus because we lost to a talented team).

"We can't beat the Commanders, so we don't deserve to get to the playoffs." That sounds like something those 16 year old kids that show up here after a loss would say. It's football. You lose close games. You live to play the next game and you're not eliminated until you're eliminated.

I think what he's saying is win the games your supposed to win and don't play down to the level of your competition. They did a good job of this earlier in the season vs. Tennessee and Houston but even in those games Dallas was shaky in the first half. I'm sorry but Washington is not that much bettr than Houston. As I said to start this thread, the time is NOW to show what kind of team they are.

I'm not sure you're aware of this, but I feel like I should at least attempt to get this across to you. Better teams don't blow out their opponents consistently anymore. There are no clear cut better teams in the NFL that can guarantee a win. Any given Sunday. Washington isn't some college team that we should have gone in an blown out by 50 points. This is the NFL, buddy, and you better get used to close games cause they're here to stay.

Not looking for a blowout. Just competence from the Cowboys. That alone would have gotten them maybe 2 extra wins this season. I'm well aware of the close nature of NFL games.

With just seconds left, the Cowboys drove down the field and were in a position to kick a game sealing FG. If they're in that position every single week then I'm happy. I don't need a blowout. Are they nice? Yes, but if they're in a position to win every week that's all I can ask for. Occasionally a fluke play will happen but if they're in a position to kick the game winning FG every single game, I'll take it.

look theo...the point is we played like garbage against a bad team...this was supposed to be a team capable of contending...we've played 3 good teams this yr (Jax,Philly & NYG) and looked pathetic in everyone of them...we go on the road and beat a decent team (not good, but ok) and what do we do the next week? lose to a horrible Commander team and looked like crap doing it...what are the Skins doing today? answer- what they did for almost all the rest of the season before we played them last week S U C K I N G

this is the same crap every year with Parcells...the time for excuses are over and have been for some time
