he's looked very gimpy out there to me but I haven't watched every snap. I feel like he has great arm but it has been protected.. I think he'll grow into a really good QB but right now, he's vick lite.

Fair assessment, his throwing mechanics are still off because of the knee if he wants to admit it or not. His accuracy on the deep ball is sketchy right now and I just haven't seen our receivers get enough separation for the deep ball to even be an option.

I feel more confident as well. We will beat Washington even though they're coming off a bye. We can exploit their secondary and turn their offense one dimensional.

A division opponent coming off their bye. Hmmm....I expected a tough game anyway. Now it's going to be very tough with them having two weeks to prepare.

Different QB this week, doesnt stay in pocket, like the KC game, although this QB is not a bus driver. This game is at home and i believe is as close to a MUST win as we have this year. Because after the Commanders 4 of the next 5 are on the road.

It'll be tough. I feel more confident with the personnel and play calling we had yesterday. Our play calling made it virtually impossible to stop us. I see us winning a close one.

Hopefully this is a turning point in our season

I hope it's a turning point for our offense. We attacked down the field instead of in the flats, and we made big play after big play. Sure, Denver's pass defense is bad, but so is almost every single opponent we have remaining -- the Commanders, Eagles, Lions, Vikings, Giants, Raiders, Bears and Packers are ALL ranked 20th or worse in passing yards allowed. The ONLY opponent we have left that is ranked higher than 20th and allowing fewer than 268 passing yards per game is the Saints, and they're only 13th at 221.8 ypg.

Believe it or not, I feel better about the Deadskins game because we lost. This team tend not to handle success well.

I think we beat them at home without any problems .

I expect them blitz a lot like they did in the last game last year. If we handle it this time we have a good chance, if not I'm not as confident.

Oh there will be problems. Kiffen is pretty clueless against athletic QB's and the read option schemes.

I wouldn't say RG3 is 1 dimensional, he's only average now...but even an average QB can run enough to keep your LB's honest

Honest from what ? Running? Hell, I hope RG3 runs all day and not pass against our defense. I'll take RG3 running around for 12 plays to score than having him throw 3 passes for a score.

We have to forget todays game and move on.


How does the subject of my focus effect the effectiveness of the Cowboys' players' preparation?

Why do we have to "Move on"? My thoughts and opinions have ZERO effect on what the cowboys do next game. Same goes for everyone else's opinions that don't play for or coach the cowboys.

This is what I expect also from their d.
Dallas/ skins usually close and hard fought games.
They will try to establish Morris and then burn us with play action .
I'm thinking about a 31-28 game. Us on top

I wouldn't think you would want to have RG3's confidence built up that he can run on your defense. In case you haven't noticed, that's been the difference with the whole offense this year as opposed to last. Nothing in the offense has changed other than his running, and when he does, the entire offense opens up, we all saw it last year and this year he hasn't run much and it's no coincidence the offense stinks...therefore, stop him from running amuck, the offense sputters.

Have you seen our defense play against the pass?

I want Romo and company to get big play quick scores and then have your offense run out the clock for us.

RG 3 will be the spokesman for the ninja blender, "It slices , it dices, it cuts its way through anything just like i did the Cowboys defense"

Might as well go 4 wide shotgun cause we need to score, a lot.

The best gift Cowboys can give Commanders fans is to knock out RG3 for the season. He is not playing at his high level from last year and Skins are better off playing Cousins right now until Griffen is physically and mentally right. Playing RG3 in his present condition is going to ****** his development, never mind his confidence.

Thanks for all the insight there. I meant we as in the cowboys. They need to move on to the skins. If you're gonna be an ***, plz do it elsewhere.
