[quote=MTK;1203976]Even if Smith improves he's never going to be a guy who can drop back 40 times and win a shoot out. He's never been that guy. If we can't run and stop the run we're probably not going to win. But we've won 4 out of 6 so far with that formula so that's not a bad thing.[/quote]

He was throwing the ball about 35 times a game with KC.

Right, but the point is he's not a drop back and beat you from the pocket consistently type of QB. He's best when the running game is clicking and he can work off play action or RPO's, screen game, boot game, etc.

Re: Dallas Post-Game Thread
 

He also had Kelce and Hill on the offense who are both better than anyone we have. My only gripe is Jordan Reed not getting more looks. He's our best pass catcher get him the ball. As matty said we are 4-2 and really should be 5-1 if it wasn't for that fluke Loss to iNdy

To be fair a vast majority of QB's in the NFL need those things as well. There are only a few passers I can think of, such as P. Manning, who can do it all on their own without a solid run game, good defense, etc.

Re: Dallas Post-Game Thread
 

I just checked. The Skins are still leading in the NFC East.

The word of the day is "DOINK" its also the sound of Dallas loosing.

Re: Dallas Post-Game Thread
 

Wow!! The sideline pisser Kowitca was responsible for this penalty being called, great job!!

Controversial penalty on #Cowboys LP Ladouceur was result of #Redskins ST coach Ben Kotwica noticing what he considered illegal movement of ball during prep and bringing to Jay Gruden’s attention. Gruden alerted game officials and encouraged them to watch for it.

How great would it have been if Justin Tucker's kick had bounced off the upright?

DOINK would have been great to say to a Ravens fan as one describes our win, knowing that it also described their loss.

Ahhh opportunities lost :(

[QUOTE=FrenchSkin;1203905]Awesome night to be a Redskins fan !

Watched the game in a Packers bar in Paris, joked with an american Eagles fan on a trip in Europe to go to the game in London next week, kept it down a little when they lost but was so happy.

Then, just before the kickoff of our game, I was joined by a french Redskins fan, and a Redskins fan from Virginia enters the bar... followed by a Cowboys fan from Dallas.

Man that was back and forth during the whole game, a LOT of fun !
First time in my life I can make fun of a Cowboys fan face to face, that shit feels great!

Re: Dallas Post-Game Thread
 

BTW right now our yes our Washington Redskins are the 3rd seed in the playoffs and 3rd in the NFC standing (4-1) conf record. That is pretty damn good folks

Re: Dallas Post-Game Thread
 

Any win against Dallas is a great win. They are still our biggest rival and there has been so much crazy stuff that has happened in this series that I am thrilled to get a win over Dallas under any circumstances. Compared to other finishes in this series, that missed field goal barely registers on the dagger in the heart scale of games contested by these two teams.

We obviously had a conservative game plan on offense and a defensive game plan to stop the run and then throw everything but the kitchen sink at Dak in passing situations. I fully endorse this game plan which was essentially forced upon us (especially on offense). The results speak for themselves. We had no turnovers on offense and our defense forced the Cowboys to turn the ball over multiple times, one of which resulted in our game-winning touchdown.

It seems to me that we Redskins fans might need to get used to the idea that our defense can now lead us and even score touchdowns. I'm starting to believe in our D and I think it can only get better. We haven't had that in a long time. With a dominant D, it might be a good thing for us to have a QB who doesn't take a lot of chances and doesn't turn the ball over, even if he misses some throws. It has been said that more NFL games have been lost than won. If that is true, then let our opponents lose to us by turning the ball over more than we do.

Re: Dallas Post-Game Thread
 

Great game played by your team yesterday. I cannot help but admire and appreciate the way Washington controlled the field position battle throughout the first half. Playing offense and defense on Dallas's side of the 50. Well played indeed.

I have always said the best way to beat the Dallas offense is to take away 21 and make Dak beat you with his arm. Which everyone (except Prescott and Garret) knows will not happen. Your defense did well at this Sunday.

I take back what I said about Alex Smith. His quick release and rapid check-downs kept the pass rushers at bay.

Adrian Peterson - who knew?

Yeah there wasn't anything fluky about it. We weren't prepared, and it showed.

Re: Dallas Post-Game Thread
 

That is back to back games where the Skins were up double digits in the 4th quarter and yet the game came down to the final seconds. I think I am going to have to double up on my blood pressure medications on game days.

we got lucky on the sack / td. Greg Stroman got beat so bad on a double move that it could have been a 90 yard TD

smith had 7 pressures kerrigan had 6

It's not really lucky. That's why they say a good DL helps the DB's and good DB's help the DLine.

I don't think this has been posted, if so sorry for the duplicate.

Sounds like Kotwica was really studying film, the article puts it this way:
[QUOTE]Stories of NFL coaches working 80 or 100 hours in a week are common. But they work that long to try to find the one small thing that could change a game.

This particular situation seems very rare. Coaches might find a tendency for an opponent to not to as well if he’s forced to move right or left, but how many times do they find a habit that could produce a potential penalty in all that film study?

Kotwica had to spot Ladouceur adjusting the ball on film, and think about how intently you’d need to watch film to find that. He had to know it was a potential penalty. Then Washington presumably taught its players what to watch for and how to react to it if they saw it, and which situation to execute it.[/QUOTE]

Good going coaches!

Re: Dallas Post-Game Thread
 

After re-watching the game, I voted Kerrigan in the game ball poll, because I can be one to expect more of him than what he does, but he's having a solid season and he had a great game. On top of the strip sack, he made and contributed to make many plays both in the passing and the running game. Loved it!

Couple things...first check out Zach brown read/react and then dominate transitioning to a pop on pig boy.

Dallas should have walked out on the field and cut #71 Collins for that piss poor effort. He just got dominated

Yeah Collins got schooled all day long

Amen, Brother! I thought of George Allen and his formula for success while watching the game. Namely, tough defense. solid special teams, play for field position, and don't turn the ball over to the other team. A team can win a lot of games playing like that.

When you mentioned that I pictured Billy Kilmer with a single bar face mask. Crazy to think Allen started coaching the Redskins over 45 years ago. I think it would be interesting to watch a game of that era and note how many personal foul penalties would be called by today's rules. Often after a game a QB was as bloody, dirty and battered looking as a linebacker.
