And beating the one loss 49ers on the road, and simply thrashing the Bills who I believe held the 'Skins scoreless.

There's a difference between overconfidence and swagger. I just hope Dallas has not crossed that particular line.

Re: Its Dallas Week
 

I don't care what the record is between both teams even when we had the I believe 10 game streak against you guys I always look forward to our matches they're almost always exiting and go to the final second.

Heck even in our 1-15 year our only win was against you guys a Win up to this date it rub you guys in the wrong way. So this game matters and it will be good

Re: Its Dallas Week
 

[quote=Chico23231;860053]Me too. It really not that bad of a conflict of interest. I usually chose not to have Redskins on my team, cause ill get too pissed at the team.

Now i have a friend who will gamble and actually gamble agaisnt his team which I think is blasphemy. His rationale "If they win or lose, ill feel good either way" I think that is bullshit...i never feel good when the skins lose, meaning i feel bad alot[/quote]

I think there is a fundamental difference between rooting as a fan and gambling.

Rooting is done with your heart and your emotions.

Betting is done with your brain and your wallet.

I have exactly ZERO difficulty in separating those two activities...

I completely Agree I do it all the time.

In fact when I bet against Dallas because I feel the line favors me it becomes some what a win, Win for me... If Dallas loses well at least I made so money and if Dallas win I don't care if I lost the bet because my team won!!!

Re: Its Dallas Week
 

[quote=skinsfaninok;860311]We all saw that coming, Buffalo was a pretender all year just like we were[/quote]

I think the Bills had some key injuries that affected them. Honestly, they've overachieved given the talent they had coming into the season. I think they need a good offseason to shore up both of their lines and add another offensive weapon. But they are not too far away from being a playoff contender.

Re: Its Dallas Week
 

[quote=skinsfaninok;860311]We all saw that coming, Buffalo was a pretender all year just like we were[/quote]

I'd say we were the pretender in 1st week of the season.

[quote=Big C;859884]intersting stat that grant paulsen posted on twitter.

"Brian Orakpo has registered 0.5 sacks in 15 career games against NFC East opponents. In 25 non-division games he's got 24.5 sacks. "

wow. hope he can turn that around a little bit this sunday. we need to generate a ton of pressure on romo to win this game.[/quote]

Orakpo will get a sack from time to time but his sacks thus far are not game changiing plays. I think Kerrigan's sacks are just the kind of sacks I'm talking about because he can force the turnover as well. Orakpo needs to step it up.

I can't respect Orakpo anymore after that horrific Geico commercial. Worst...Commercial...Ever

Re: Its Dallas Week
 

Call me old school. But this is the last time these two teams meet until the fall of 2012. We only get to enjoy this rivalry for 6 hours a year.

Regardless of what is happening, or has happened, in each camp, I still get psyched up for these 2 games. If I am not attending the game in Dallas, I am anchored in front of my television and glued. Totally into the every single snap.

Hell, if I had a catheter I'd have no reason to get up from my chair.

I hear you. I don't know which would be more painful. Having that tube jammed up your unit, or watching the Redskins offense trying to score a TD.

Agreed Sandtrap. And this is especially true since often (but not always) the standings can be thrown out. Otherwise strong teams can struggle and otherwise miserable teams can rise to the occasion.

word, I've seen it live twice & both were incredible games. At Texas Stadium in 07 a knowledgeable Cowboy fan said to me; "never know what will happen when these two teams play." Very cliche, but quite true.

That said, the fans have to make this a rivarly this week, there just ain't much to excite anyone on a national level. If your cowpokers can't take advantage of this lowly Skins team, they might have some bigger issues goin forward.

Re: Its Dallas Week
 

Ah rembering Thanksgiving week games of times past. Got this from Redskins.com.

The two teams engaged in wild battles resembling shootouts at the OK Corral: 34-31 Redskins, 31-30 Cowboys, 34-31 Redskins, 17-14 Cowboys, 27-20 Redskins. In four of those five games, the winning points came in the final two minutes.

Such was the case at D.C. Stadium (now RFK) on Nov. 28, 1965. The Cowboys jumped out to a 21-0 lead, and chants of “WE WANT SHINER” resonated through the stadium from fans who wanted the ineffective Jurgensen benched for backup [B][U][B][U]Dick Shiner[/U][/B][/U][/B].

Im sure that name caused a few locker room jabs!!:eek:

Brown and Locklear are questionable at RT, I hope Willie Smith plays I'm intrigued with this guy.

Re: Its Dallas Week
 

Cowboys will be without Tony Fiametta on Sunday. Not a household name by any means, but he has been the key blocker in DeMarco Murrays success at breaking those runs over 10 yards. Don't underestimate his absence. This is a blow to the Cowboys new found running game.

First month of the season, without Fiametta, Cowboys averaged only 86 yards per game on the ground. This past month, with Fiametta blocking for Murray, the Cowboys averaged 176 yards per game running the ball.

No one will miss him more on Sunday then DeMarco Murray.

Re: Its Dallas Week
 

I hate Dallas. And I just hope they leave DC with a loss, and the funk we're carrying and spread it back to their organization(kinda like an STD). Im sure an epic embarrasment is coming but theres always a chance. See yal after the break!!!!! HTTR

well said

Re: Its Dallas Week
 

this is BY FAR the worst Dallas week I can remember in recent years .. nothing like rolling up to our biggest rival while they are red hot and we are on a losing streak with our whole team out for the year, no QB, etc ... I was in Dallas for work this week ... they straight up think we are a joke, like a 2-14 Lions team joke .. it sucks to have no ammo back .. uhhhh yeah we are rebuilding (which I do believe) it just blows because usually the moment the game ends one week prior to Dallas i'm amped up ALL WEEK READY TO ROCK and this time I can barely muster up the ability to watch this game.

Re: Its Dallas Week
 

If anyone thinks that we are going to get within 10 points of the cowboys this week, they are truly deceiving themselves.

Cowboys - 44

Redskins - 17

Re: Its Dallas Week
 

Well....I'm not much for giving up....without a fight.
