[quote=SBXVII;837787]The Skins didn't play outstanding ball, heck one could say they didn't play outstanding ball in week one. The positive is the team found a way to win both games. In past years the Skins have found a way to shoot themselves in the foot and lose games. Now it appears the Skins are finding ways to win those.

I'd like to add that we have won two games I expected us to win but man they were tough games. I totally expected us to suprise the Giants and win big especially with their injuries, and the Cards I expected a huge win but again it turned out to be a close game. I'm looking at all the teams I thought we could beat easily and have been seeing them play tough; Rams, Panthers, Bills, 49ers, Dolphins, Bucs. I still think we can win them but their gunna be closer then I thought. Colts, Vikes, and Seahawks might be the easiest games on our list now.[/quote]

I think what we are seeing is a great team that is finding themselves. When they are backed into a corner they are coming out swinging and proving themselves. As the confidence level continues to rise, so will the level of play.

I think it's a lot of nerves and excitement that has caused some of the missed opportunities in the redzone. Grossman needs to keep his composure, settle down and not force any throws in the redzone. I love the read he made to Moss in the endzone.

I also like how our D is disrupting and causing turnovers.

I'm looking forward to playing high caliber teams and seeing us turn it up!

[quote=Longtimefan;837771]

After a come from behind win of the Cardinals, our fans started chanting we want dallas. Dallas barely got by San Fran today. Romo broke a rib.

A 40 yr. old chant gains momentum after two straight wins at home. Whatever bad happens for the Boys is not good enough. I don't feel for their injuries and I'm equally sure they don't feel for ours.[/quote]

This reminds me of when Red Sox fans would start the Yankees Sucks chants at odd times, like during the patriots victory parade or while they were playing Baltimore or something. It's a good thing to have a rival, but sometimes it gets ridiculous. I hate Dallas but its not like we have been battling them for the NFC East crown much in the last ten years.

4 wins, 4 losses

In those games, he completes 63% of his passes, 1887 yards, 13 TDs and 7 INTs, and he's been sacked 8 times.

Skins have not had a 100-yard rusher against the Cowboys since September 28, 2008.

Re: We Want Dallas! 2011 Thread
 

I imagine Dez Bryant will play, he nearly played this week. I am reminded of Star Trek II when Kahn says of the Enterprise, "Not nearly as wounded as we were led to believe"

This is a division game, division rivalry and their home opener. Any player that can go will, and they will not let this game get away from them. I fear that TR's playing injured will spark something that they haven't had in a long time, which is gutsy gritty play.

We will have to see if the Skins deserve to be 3-0, or are just putting on a good act.

[quote=mooby;837576]I hope to see an Orakpo/Kerrigan sandwich with Romo in the middle come gametime.

I mean honestly it makes us look a little obsessive. Can't we even give us until the end of the day to enjoy the win before we already start talking about beating Dallas?

With all that said, I'm with Lotus in saying Duck Fallas.

dude they were chanting that s last week after we beat nyg, there will always be the koolaid drinkers there that start that chant up after almost every win. and as big of a skins fan as i am i find it insanely annoying, the only time i think the we want dallas chant is merited is the game leading up to a home dallas game. in that case we the fans are calling out dallas to come to our house and deal with our fanbase, but thats just me.

ether way #uck dallas, i can't wait to see romo sitting on the bench pissed off he lost another game

We started chanting it after/during a win the week before we play them. Not really out of place, although premature imo since there were still a few minutes left in the game.

I don't think we come across as obsessed as much as 'games over, enjoy it, but now it's time to whoop some ass.'

just my opinion.


Edit: after the Giants game, yes that's way too much.

Re: We Want Dallas! 2011 Thread
 

No way Romo plays [I]and[/I] is effective. If he plays, great! He get even more hurt and won't help his team. If he has any sense he'll sit and let Kitna get molested by our blitz.

This is a game primed for excuse-athon from the Cowboy fans as 'Yeah, but Romo, Jones, etc weren't playing'. A win is a win but I'll be happier when we can beat them when they are 100%.

Skins will win and we get to see another cameo of a Boys fan with her hands on her head looking like the world just ended. Remember '05? Madden commentating said something like "Parcells is 73-0 when leading by 13 points or more in the 4th quarter". Two long bombs and a few brutal Sean Taylor hits later and we win! That's my favorite Skins game ever right there.

Carlos also had an INT hit him right in the head and he was looking right at it, he could have had a pick six! lmao some things never change.

regarding 2005's Monday Night Miracle:

I had my brother who's a cowboys fan, my cousin who is the reason my brothers a cowboys fan and my other cousin who is also a cowboys fan over to watch that game.

At some point they were pretty confident it was over and they started to poke fun, talking about their dominance in the series, etc.

The second ST laid on that brutal hit, I tell you I stuck up both middle fingers in each of their faces, and ran up the stairs and by the end of it I dont think there was a single inch of the house that I didnt cover. I'll never forget it.

By the time the ball was in the air for the second TD the weasles had all either left or taken their jerseys off.

Possibly why I enjoy that game the most, after all the abuse that was the sweetest 00:00 ever.

Reports on ESPN right now that Romo not only broke a rib, but punctured his lung, too. And yet he came back in and led them to an OT victory to avoid an 0-2 start. I don't like Tony Romo or the Cowboys, but I respect him a lot more because of this.

As much as I hate to say it Romo deserves a lot more respect for playing through Sunday's game with a punctured lung. That's a gutsy performance. It also probably means we'll be playing against Kitna on Monday night.

Could be a ploy by Garrett to make us prepare for Romo. If Romo plays on Monday night, it'll definitely be a gutsy call for him, but a punctured lung? I'm not sure how much that hurts or whether he'll be able to play with it, but it definitely sounds serious.

Having worked in the medical field for 14 yrs, I'm telling had the team or doctors knew he had a punctured lung they would not have let him back out on the field. Broken rib is one thing.... tape it up, put on a padded vest and play, punctured lung is a totally different story. They definitly won't want the puncture to get bigger or worse. He takes another hit in the same spot making it bigger and it could be his life, especially if his lung collapses due to the punctured lung.

No, see, the way I see it -- Karma owes us one. One of our star defensive players has been out because of a hammy, so Karma naturally keeps one of their star offensive players is out because of a hammy.

Re: We Want Dallas! 2011 Thread
 

All I'm saying is the Cowboys would be stupid to take a chance and let him play when they could let him heal and then come back and hopefully play in the later part of the year. He obviously didin't have a lung collapse but this is what I'm talking about....

[QUOTE]Normally, the pressure in the lungs is greater than the pressure in the pleural space surrounding the lungs. However, if air enters the pleural space, the pressure in the pleura then becomes greater than the pressure in the lungs, causing the lung to collapse partially or completely. Pneumothorax can be either spontaneous or due to trauma.[/QUOTE]

One good hit could cause his lung to collapse. Two types of pneumothorax's, Spontaneous which is usually from scuba diving, or sky diving, or lung disease. Tension pneumothorax occurs usually from being stabbed or rib fracture. The latter (if the lung collapses) takes about 2 weeks to recover from. But that is usually from someong who had a broken rib puncture the lung and the lung collapses. The rib itself takes longer to heal and god forbid he takes the chance and ends up constantly reinjuring either his rib or lung.

[QUOTE] Tension pneumothorax may be the immediate result of an injury; the delayed complication of a hidden injury, such as a fractured rib, that punctures the lung[/QUOTE]

Again he didn't have a pneumothorax but they will not want to chance it with his broken rib having already punctured it once. The doctors will want the lung and rib to heal up a little possibly a week or two. Just my personal guess. They would be stupid to let him play.

This was the HC telling the media that Romo would play. Nothing was mentioned about the punctured lung. I'll be the first to say I'm wrong. and I will come Mon. when he steps on the field, but I'm telling you they would be crazy to let him play knowing he could get seriously hurt if hit in the same spot or tackled hard. Because if it gets worse he will be out longer. They would be smart to let him sit for a week and re-evaluate him, maybe let him sit 2 weeks then pad him up well. Having him ready to play the Skins in the latter part of the season would be best for them instead of chancing playing him now and losing him for the season.

Re: We Want Dallas! 2011 Thread
 

If Romo does manage to play, you know where on his body our defenders will try to hit him. Bring barbeque sauce; Rak likes it on his ribs.
