Dallas Post-Game Thread
 

[QUOTE=Ruhskins;1203841]To all the people bitching about the QB play:



With our D, I'll take average QB play that doesn't create game killing situations and can give us a chance to win. I think there is room for improvement, which I feel can happen with time.



You can have good QB play and gaudy numbers, but if that doesn't translate to W's, it doesn't mean shit. It's plain and simple.



I think everyone on the offense needs to improve, the drop off in WR talent after PRich and Crowder, is ridiculous. Alex, needs to get off whatever funk he's been. And I think Gruden needs to just call better plays.[/QUOTE]



Obviously a knock on Cousins. Lol. If Cousins had a defense like this than game killing situations would have been few and far between. This offense needs to improve and improve fast.

Re: Dallas Post-Game Thread
 

I'm done arguing Kirk V Alex, we are 4-2 and should go to 5-2 after this week, The defense is sick, DJ is playing like a mad man, Bama boys are killing it. Zach Brown is awesome, Corners are solid (one bad play yesterday). The offense stinks because its not what we are used to the last 4 years, airing it out all game for 350 yards, but I'll take this old school run first and grind the clock if it amounts to winning the division.

Agreed.

It's frustrating when Smith misses wide-open throws and the offense can't generate ANYTHING in the second half of a game BUT, as long as we keep winning it doesn't matter.

Last year? No this offense would not have been good enough because the Defense was allowing way more scoring. This year though, it has been enough. I don't think it will BE enough if we want to contend post season, but they still have a while to figure it out, so we'll see.

Either way, we're 4-2 and a game and a half ahead in the NFCE. I'll take it!

Smith really just needs to add 1 or 2 more scores a game (I know, easier said than done) and we could make some serious noise.

For sure, and we have to remember he was missing crowder and pr / Ct so 3 starters out hurts. I think 26 Ppg wins a playoff game or 2 with this defense

Re: Dallas Post-Game Thread
 

Great win.
The ending took 10 years off my life but still a great win knowing cowboys fans woke up heart broken.

Thank you RK , DJ, And AP!

No negatives today; They beat Dallas!

Re: Dallas Post-Game Thread
 

I gave my game ball to Kerrigan. We can't say he doesn't show up in big games because he showed up big time yesterday. That strip sack was a thing of beauty how he wraps him up with one arm and punches out the ball with the other.

If that wasn't typical Dal vs Wsh dont know what is. Ugly game but the ending was exciting.

Basically that play had a huge role in winning the game. If the d does not score a td there we probably lose

Re: Dallas Post-Game Thread
 

What a glorious day to be a Redskin fan! There's a little more spring in my step and more smiles on my face. And I take great joy in reading posts on Cowboy blogs moaning that their world is coming to an end. For example, and forgive lack of a link as I'm technologically challenged but it was on bloggingtheboys.com...

"8-8. The kiss of death and the mantra of the Red Headed Clapper.
I’m so disgusted and at a loss for words. If I were GM, JG, SL and Paul Alexander would be on my official chopping block. The Penalties killed us along with all the other mistakes. Our team is poorly coached. Some will blame their failure on poor evacuation but they are coached so poorly that execution is an oxymoron with this offensive unit. The D gave up 13 points and we couldn’t reward them with a win.

Sounds like one of our rants but today, who cares?!

Re: Dallas Post-Game Thread
 

My concern as Keim stated in his observations point #6.
If the running is not present and have to rely on the passing game and Smith struggles, then what? Our 2 losses were because of that, run was stopped, passing game struggles=losses. Smith needs to improve fast.

If the roles were reversed, I would be calling for Gruden's head with these type comments.

Dallas had 52 seconds to move the ball, and thanks to AS, still had a timeout, dumb head coach right there. Glad Jerry loves him.

Re: Dallas Post-Game Thread
 

Garrett has to be fired after this yr but in all fairness he doesn't handle Player personnel so he is dealt with what JJ gives him.

[quote=SFREDSKIN;1203895]yeah, Romo and Nance.[/quote]

I'm getting really tired of Romo. He's such an annoying bitch. At least Aikman is totally or sounds totally biased during the games. Romo is like fingernails on a chalkboard. Nantz must want to slap the shit out of him.

Re: Dallas Post-Game Thread
 

It was good game for Redskins defense, especially Dline's performance! I'm absolutely impressed by AP and his determination - playing through injuries and pain at his age.

I noticed several of you guys are bashing Alex. There are more factors to offense issues, other than Alex.. Gruden's conservative playcalling, weak Oline performance (season overall, not this game), and injured receivers/RBs. Beside missed open receivers, I like what I see from Alex as he showed he can throw further than 10 yards unlike last few games. Also, I noticed almost every time offense gets off from the field, Gruden and Alex gathered to discuss about recent plays - I believe this shows how much Alex and Gruden are still learning about each other. I hope with time, we will see offense improving later in the season.

We also must remember that we all knew Alex's limitations when we traded for him; we knew that Alex isn't likely to carry team to wins, and we knew Alex isn't playmaker. I'm little bit surprised how some people are upset about Alex's performance, it is as if we are expecting Alex to play like Aaron Rodgers. Alex is a good QB when he has good players around him, we are almost there. If we had good reliable WRs, I think our offense would be playing much better.

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.
