- Well, even the harshest Tony Romo critic could see that he didn’t deserve what he got in this game. WR’s pathetically not knowing where to go. Doug Free was…borderline awful. And Costa was a disaster. All the while doing it with broken ribs. I think we are starting to make the turn, and a very important one, as a team. Romo is starting to be fiery. Sorry…this is football. That ‘silent leader’ stuff doesn’t work that well, particularly at QB. Too much emotion involved in this game. You don’t have to be a drill sergeant or be ‘whiney.’ But, you have to lead and you have to be vocal from time to time, and we are finally seeing that from Romo. Good for him.
- It would make sense that the Commanders, dirty cheaters and all who always have this major inferiority complex over the Cowboys….well, because they are massively inferior to Dallas…would resort to calling out the cadence to throw Costa off…which is illegal. There were times when Costa was snapping it so early that Witten wasn’t even done with running out his motion. I did see one play where it was pretty obvious the cheating slimeballs were calling out the cadence as one of the DE’s basically was jumping up in the air when the ball was snapped.
- This is what I feared though with the lockout. The refereeing in this league is abysmal. What is particularly bothersome is the refs that don’t know the rule. Nothing like Trent Williams *diving* to make a *shoe string tackle* on DeMarcus Ware and not getting called for holding. Or the other blatant holds that never got called.
- It was great to see that Ware was just ticked off and decided that he had enough and was going to blow Jammal Brown off the ball that Brown couldn’t even hold him.
- One thing I love about this win is that Skins fans were just about to praise Rex Grossman as their savior and as their franchise QB and how smart they were for picking him up and how he ‘just wins games.’ He’s really the same ole Rex. Turnover prone, inaccurate at times, shows some flashes, but I wouldn’t trust him as far as Brad Johnson can throw a football.
- I thought we did a great job with Fred Davis and I think that was a hidden key to the game. I think the Skins were looking for Cooley a bit more and that guy is done with…stick a fork in him. He’s now a blocking tight end at best.
- Sean Lee is everywhere and I can proudly say that I have been excited about him from day 1 and never gave up on him.
- I’m digging me some Abram Elam
- I also really dug Tony Fiametta and Laurent Robinson. Fiametta had some huge blocks, kinda like an ole Cowboys fullback who used to play at Syracuse. Robinson had some struggles to me, but he looked like he belonged from a talent perspective.
- I actually think the Landry hit should be legal because otherwise, you’re letting the WR catch the ball. But, how that is legal and how the Ball hit isn’t is beyond me. The Ball hit was bang-bang and Moss started to turn around. Landry had a lot more time to judge whether or not he wanted to hit Robinson who was mid-air.
- Gotta take Garrett to task with his playcalling. The shotgun play when we had the ball on the Commanders 2 yard line was dumb. They knew it was coming and Stephen Bowen (how’s it feel to sign with a loser, pal?) sure knew it was coming. I agree with the people talking about the play before the 2 minute warning, although I would’ve called a screen pass. Safer and would gain more yardage.
- I’m officially done with Tashard Choice. He provides nothing and simply continues to make boneheaded moves. I’m just waiting for DeMarco to get assimilated with the offense and pass protection and then to finally take over. His running out of bounds is indicative of his propensity to do stupid things.
- Nice to see DeAngelo Hall already calling out his coaches. Don’t worry Commanders fans, it will implode sooner or later.
- Congrats to Dan Bailey, I think Beuhler’s days are just about numbered. He might stick on as a kickoff specialist in order to help with preventing injuries, but I don’t see much more than that. Bailey kicks a nice ball. High and either straight or with a little fade. I like that.
- I would like to mention that technically…we are in first place in the NFC East.
- A win is a win and sometimes you have to just get those wins even if they are ugly. I think the team turned the corner as typically this is the type of game where the defense lets us down (coming back to Cowboys Stadium after good performances on the road) and they simply did anything but that. I think a lot of it has to do with our D-Coordinator, Elam and Sean Lee. I think the communication on defense is much better than it was in the past.
Anyway, I didn’t think this was a must win game, but I’m sure glad we won it here. I also think this has to break the spirits of the Commanders who came into the game talking a lot of trash and still couldn’t manage to beat the Cowboys JV squad. It could be real scary if we are able to get everybody healthy. And this team has a lot more fight in it than the opponents are used to. Guys like London Fletcher think they can just talk smack and we’ll wilt. Those days are over, loser.
