Washington has NO pass rush

Man, everyone was saying this before the last game against them. Don't underestimate them. Their defense will keep them in it til the end. Hopefully we'll be the ones to make the plays needed for the win this time.

exactly! When we played them, they just dropped everyone into coverage and stuffed our weak running game with 3 and 4 down lineman. The other 7 and 8 players blanketed the secondary and stymied our offense quite well.
Hopefully, we'll be able to run the ball a little better this time and keep Moss bottled up.
Ellis should get his 9th and 10th sack this game btw.

I predict that Dallas has its largest win by points. Dallas will win 42-13. Drew already has a 90 rating, 20 TDs and 3000 yards - he has nothing to prove and he's going to sling it.
I sure hope so. Dallas dominated the last meeting but Bill played conservative ball and it cost us in the end. That missed Cortez field goal was huge too, of course.

This is an NFC East game, in December, on the road. And, afterall, these are the Cardiac Cowboys. I expect a close, hard fought game to the bitter end. But I'm hoping that I am wrong and you are right. :)
 
Umm...cant disagree with this thread. I seriously think our LB's and Secondary have more sacks than our D-lineman.
 
Rivalty game with revenge on our minds. It won't be easy. Regardless of their pass rush abilities, they do pose a threat. Another must win for us.
 
Not sure why this is in the opinion zone. We don't get a push from our front four. That's a fact. Everyone knows that.

Still, we do ok defensively. We held AZ to fewer points than they usually score. And St. Louis. And San Diego. And Oakland. And Philly. And Denver. And Seattle. And You guys. And Chicago. That's 9 out of 13 teams that scored less than they usually do when they played us. (10 if you count San Fran who scored two garbage-time TDs on our backups.)

Clearly we make up for our lack of pass rushing lineman elsewhere. Just as you all make up for the fact that you average 3.4 yards per rushing play on offense, which is absolutely abysmal. You still manage to find ways to score, don't you? Or should I just chalk up a Commander win right now. :)
 
Funny how HH failed completely to mention Griffin. Look at our sack numbers with him playing (and healthy) and compare those to when he's not in there.


This Sunday he's playing and healthy :)


Besides, this is a Commanders vs. Cowboys game. You can throw all stats, trends, etc. out the window. You all had 5 sacks last game and lost. Conventional wisdom has never had a hand in this rivalry....
