Honestly? I'd rather our team be in Skins pre-season position right now. They have A LOT of tape to look over and mistakes to take into account before the beginning of the regular season. And most of their losses came as a result of playing playoff contender teams. The weaknesses that were exposed against them in those preseason games could very well be areas that we could have exploited in week 2. The Jets, Bengals, and Patriots -- coincidentally all AFC teams -- essentially showed them what was wrong with their ball club. For them, that's a good thing. On the other hand, we've played nothing but rival NFC teams and they've shown us nothing...am I the only one who sees this?

I want to see mistakes from our Cowboys, because it is likely that we don't have a team that is reflective of our preseason results. I want something, anything, to come up now rather than later when it counts.

I definitely wouldn't want to be coming off a 41-0 blowout loss after having looked ragged the first two games.

While, I don't think the Commanders are as bad as they've looked so far, I wouldn't want to be in their position right now.

Here is something to remember guys, before the two long TD passes to Moss against us last season, the Commanders were playing very badly, and people were starting to question if the game had passed Gibbs by. Then, we were shutting them out through around 58 minutes of that game, when all h@ll broke loose. They rode the momentum from that victory to several wins to follow, and turned their entire season around, until they came back down to Earth towards the end.

My point is, how do we know they simply are not just a bad team, like they started last year, who happened to ride the momentum of the victory over us, into the playoffs. Now, they have come back down to Earth, and are playing like, well, what they really are, bad.

Who is to say, that if we don't give up those passes, and beat the Commanders, that the Skins would have finished below .500, Gibbs would have retired, and everyone would be predicting them to be in the bottom of the NFC East division.

Maybe, the real Skins are shining through.

So the Commanders rode the momentum into the playoffs from a Week 2 win? Sorry, I don't buy it. Especially when they had a losing streak after that and before winning 5 in a row.

Bottomline, the team has made some changes on offense and defense and the adjustment period has taken longer than everyone expected. To say winning 5 games in a row was a fluke, aganist every division rival, is pretty outlandish.

I've thought that a few times that maybe they were just riding the momentum. Didn't they start the season with a bad record and then knocked off a bunch of consecutive wins to make the playoffs?

That's absurd! Nobody really gameplans in the preseason. What has been exposed is that straight up, their team (especially their depth) is not playing very well. They have lots of tape to show they have no depth and are playing mediocre. They don't have lots of tape to show formations, wiggles, and tricks...You're just wrong Boysathelm...

And people keep forgetting the argument about depth and the modern free agency period. People winning in the season and mailing in the preseason could happen when you stockpiled superstars. Not anymore...it's why Parcells take ps so seriously for the young guys, making sure they get tons of snaps.
