You should hear the Deadskins fans

[Charles]

Our defense has been playing much better since Griffin came back a few weeks ago. I think where you may run into trouble offensively is that we won't have to stack the line to stop your suspect running game. This will allow us to commit more defenders to pass defense, which is how we handled you last time. I know Dallas fans like to talk about how you all 'dominated' us for 55 minutes last time out, but 3-0 at the half is not domination. 13 points is not domination. Defensively, we played you very well and I see no reason to think we won't again, especially given your OL problems of late.

Offensively, teams have started taking away Moss. However, this has opening things up for Portis. He's averaging 101 yards per game over the past six (since the Giants game when Moss's production started to drop) and has scored 5 TDs over that span. Conversely, the Dallas run D is started to falter down the stretch, so while you may shut down our less than stellar passing game, defending the run may be a problem for you. You may, of coure, elect to stack the line, which would be very nice for Moss.

I see a chess match ahead, and we've got two of the grandmasters leading our teams. Should be a good game.

You can take all that stuff and throw it out the window.

You never know whats going to happen when these 2 teams meet, especially with something on the line. I gurantee you this though...........There will be some serious hittin in both secondaries atleast I know Roy and Davis have been itching for this return match.

What part of 'your team has one more win' was unclear?

Probably the part where you said things look pretty even.

Crazy me. By the way, Vegas currently has us a 3-point favorite:

I figure this will tighten up as the week progresses. In any case, since we get 3 points for home field advantage, the people who set the lines seem to think things look pretty even. One of you guys should head over and tell them 8 is more than 7 or something.

 

[Reality]

No arguement there. We stink on the road and we stink against the AFC. That's pretty much all we've played the past six games.

However, we play better at home than we do away. And so do you. While I wouldn't be suprised to see Dallas favored by a point or two, I don't see Dallas as a heavy favorite in this game.

I agree about the slim favorites .. really, home field advantage means everything. The Cowboys gave away their home game which means their backs are against the wall now.

With the NFC being really tough, I don't think the winner of this game is guaranteed anything but the loser of this game is most likely out of the playoff race barring a miracle.

The talent level is like night and day, Washington has 4 players who would start on the Cowboys.

 

[kingwhicker]

Let them sneak in the playoffs, they'll sneak right out- just like us.

 

[BigDFan5]

Ah, so instead trolling, you come over here and bash us BEHIND our back. How much more classy of you.



We've played pretty much the same schedule, guy. Both teams have their share of ugly wins. Your team has one more win and my team beat your team on the road. I'd say things look pretty even.

To be fair Henry why would he say something on extremeskins? If you don't follow the extremeskins "logic" you get attacked and then have your account locked. All you have to do is speak truth (and provide evidence) and when they can't beat you down verbally they lock you out even when you didnt break any rules. I know this from experience. OM unlocked my account after me showing him the thread.

One thing you wont find over here is threads like "SKINS SUCK" and meaningless garbage like that.

You can say that again.

I cannot even bear that site during Commander week, with all the "cowboys SUCK" drivel. Imbeciles.

:laugh2: at 'Boys and 'Skins fans alike.

Both fan bases are vastly overrating themselves. Who here thought that the Cowboys were not deserving of a playoff spot when we were down 14-3? Or even when we gave the Chiefs a chance to tie it at the end?

This team isn't worldbeaters... they play from behind much of the time and are incapable of building a double-digit lead. The running game is stagnant and the passing game will either be awesome or dispicable dependent on the game. The defense is the same way. Most of the time they are great but then they'll give up four touchdowns and need the offense to bail them out.

The Skins shouldn't laugh either. Their offense was pitiful last game but their defense shined through. Throw records out the window because they are meaningless.

No one doubts that this is a huge game, but predicting a slaughter on either side isn't exactly something each team has in common. How many blowouts have been amassed by these teams this year? Not many.

So which Brunell shows up? What Bledsoe?

That will be the ultimate question on Sunday.

Chris Samuels - Yes (face it, Tucker and Rob ain't great)
Jon Jansen - No (good player, but injury prone)
Randy Thomas - No (not a bad player, but not any better than Rivera/Allen at this point)
Clinton Portis - Yes (Capable running back)
Santana Moss - Yes (Best receiver on either side)
Mike Sellers - No (not much of an upgrade)
Sean Taylor - Yes (not over RW, but definitely at FS)
LaVar Arrington - No (only because if he's getting benched there, why here?)
Marcus Washington - Yes (solid LB)
Shawn Springs - No (not better than Newman/Henry)
Cornelius Griffin - No (I actually do like him, but isn't an upgrade over our DT rotation)

 

[hermitkid]

Just curious, where does the Jansen injury prone madness come from? Jansen has never missed a game whether highschool, college or pros prior to rupturing his achilles tendon last year. He hasn't missed a game since then.

 

[demdcowboys#1]

Dude I live here in the DC area and on all the talk radio shows, fans are pissed cause the Foreskins are playing so POORLY.

I live here as well, and i know whats up, Im in high school so when the skins lose and DEM BOYS win, hahahhaha im all over dat. They can get enough of me!!!!!!

reppin dem boys all da way down here in Gtown MD BABY!!!!!!!!!!

 

[SkinsandTerps]

Jon Jansen

The guy had never missed a game in his career until his injury last season. And hasnt missed any this season despite breaking both thumbs.

Better than either Tucker or Rob P.

The man hasnt played a game at 100% since he entered the league. He's like the Steve McNair of offensive lineman, only not that great.

You're sadly mistaken, that's about as politely as I can put it. Jansen is the polar opposite to being injury prone.

 

[The Curly One]

Can anyone post that "Article" about Joe Gibbs and the Foreskins being cheated by the referees and after further review by the league have determined that the foreskins are undefeated this year and apologised for ever doubting the great Joe Gibbs? That was halarious because that is seriously the way the foreskins fans think.
I know it was posted on this forum several weeks ago but I can not find it now. Curly

 

[trickblue]

From Fortdick:

NFL officials have reviewed all the tapes sent by Commander Head coach Joe Gibbs and have determined that the Commanders are actually undefeated this year. As compensation for the obvious cheating on the part of on field officials, the NFL has declared the Commanders are 16-0 this season and receive an automatic berth in the Super Bowl. The Commanders now become the second team to go undefeated for a seaon and the first to do so because of biased officiating.

Coach Gibbs, however, is not satisfied with this solution to the obvious conspiracy to deny the Commanders their rightful place in NFL history. Gibbs has submitted a proposal to the team owners that would require all touchdowns, fumbles, and controversial calls be reviewed by him on the instant replay screen and his decision will override the referee on the field. He will be allowed to use Defense Department satellites to obtain the angle that will best show his point of view and he will have two weeks to complete the review instead of the now existing 90 second rule.

Sports commentator Joe Theismann stated in an interview with Daniel Snyder that, "This is only fair because Joe Gibbs is God's gift to football and even if his team loses, he should not have that kind of mark on his record. If we do not do something about this officials cheating, Joe will return to NASCAR and then the NFL will have to fold because of lack of interest."

A hearing is scheduled for Friday during which an arbitrator will decide if the proposed rule should go into effect. The hereto unnamed arbitrator has promised to review all the evidence and come out with a decision by Tuesday next.​
