Joe,why were you so sure dallas was gonna lose? up till tonight,they were the league's hottest team. i was convinced the skins had zero chance of winning tonight.
1- They were due 2- Rivalry games like this tend to play out like this 3- I liked Grudens desision to keep the QB a game time desision. RG3 and McCoy are both very different and the Cowboys had to gameplan for both
1. Who was due? Cowboys a loss or Redskins a win on a Monday Night? 2. Agreed 3. IT was kind of obvious wasn't it though? I can't imagine them having prepared for RG3
Cowboys were due. No one gives a shirt about Monday night. If there is a chance he may play, you need to prep for him
That being said, Im not taking anything away from the Skins. We got ouplayed this game. And fact of the matter we got outplayed the most on the offensive side of the ball
I have to give an A to the play of rookie Bashaud Breeland. He was Fantastic. 8 games into the season and he is emerging as one of the gems in this draft
i see the "tough divisonal" game excuse has already been used. sorry, that doesnt fly here. this ia afterall the skins we're talking about and that was colt mccoy - yes colt mccoy out there playing qb for them.
The Redskins beat the Cowboys at their own game. In the second half, the Redskins had a 21 minutes to 9 minutes edge in TOP.
This was the best redskins/cowboys game i have seen since the 1978 game in dallas at the end of the season. john riggins had 160 yards rushing,the skins were up by 17 points 2 times,and staubach threw a td pass to drew pearson to win the game,35-34.
Oh, yeah. How about 1974 when Clint Longley came in for Staubach when Roger got hurt on Thanksgiving Day?
I still can't believe they let Romo return to the game. Weeden was playing ok, and a shaky, nervous, and scared Romo is never EVER a good thing...
i was more mystified they did not run the ball after the 50 yard run by murray down to the 8 yard line.instead,they threw 2 slants to bryant which he dropped 1 and got the other smacked away.on that last drive after an 8 yard run,they threw 3 straight incomplete passes to end the game. they would have scored a td the 1st time and would have easily gotten the 1st down and kept the game going that last series.
