It's Dallas Week!
 

Getting it started early since the game is early! We got a football life with John Riggins on Weds. Then, Dallas on Thursday! We win this week, and it'll be like the organization has been pumped full of lightning.

I'm so damn excited for Thursday that I took vacation for work.

Loved how our D played, and think meriweather being back with his playmaking and hitting ability really helps, but this would help alot as well if smith is out

Re: It's Dallas Week!
 

Throw out all the injuries, all the hype of certain players, all the stats, all the media snippets, this is a flat out rivalry. Both teams will play each other close and this game can go either way. We both know and hate each other so much so this will be great.
I'm so hyped for this game!

Oh and Dallas, I'd like you to meet my new franchise QB. Robert, this is Dallas. Dallas meet Robert.

come on bucket, at least try to be reasonable.

was 52, dal 7.

Re: It's Dallas Week!
 

This is the biggest game by far of the Shanahan tenure here in my honest opinion. This is a statement game, or Shanahan statement game if you will. A win in Dallas in late November on national tv would propel this team into legitimate playoff contention, start making believers of doubters, and serve notice that this team is indeed headed in the right direction. A loss means same old, same old.

It has been too long since Washington has won this type of game. It's time. It should be a playoff atmosphere against a heated and hated foe. Shanahan needs to get this team to play their best football, and pull this win out period. This is a gauntlet game, a gut check, no doubt about it. Dallas is very beatable, no excuses. Find a way to win this game! Go Skins!

This will be the greatest day of the year. The best holiday and a skins/boys game? Awesome. If anyone tries to disturb me during this game I'll throw a sweet potato at their face.

This is my first post here. Thank you Warpath for accepting me in this forum family. Now to the good stuff. This week can define this franchise going forward. If we win this game we will play the VaGiants in our house with the division lead on the line. If they lose to Packers of coarse. But man I'm hype for this game. This is a playoff game for both teams. So we should see the best out of both. Browns got to Romo alot but their secondary was banged up playing rookies and old man Sheldon Brown. I kinda of have confidence we will show up again on defense. I also believe RG3 will have a big day. I say this game he has a stat line of 250 yards passing 2 TDs rushing for 80 yards and another rushing TD. I'll say 27-21 our way. Hail!!!!

Re: It's Dallas Week!
 

All I need to become a true believer in the future of the Redskins franchise is for the Skins to bring it against Dallas on Thanksgiving.

Before the Eagles game, I said that my faith in Mike Shanahan was wavering and that I needed to see an all-out effort by the Skins against the Eagles and the Cowboys this week to regain my faith in him. As of now, the Skins delivered against the Eagles and I think they'll play a very determined game against the Cowboys, as well.

For me, the Skins don't need to have a winning record this season for Mike Shanahan to win me over. They never did. They just need to play hard nearly every week. That is what I need to see from Shanahan as a leader. Now, I'm looking forward to seeing the Skins play like men possessed against the Cowboys.

Go Redskins! Knock the dog snot out of the Cowboys!

Re: It's Dallas Week!
 

NC Skins, now that's funny. lol. Poor ole Charlie Brown. lol.

This game worries me. Beginning of the year I had us beating them twice, now they have looked better then what I thought. Please don't let the Eagles game fool you. Even the announcers said the Skins were having a hard time getting anything going on offense. I know the 31 points looks good but don't let it fool you.

We need to utilize the play action more and stop with the pitch to the RB. It didn't work all game until the 4th quarter when the Eagles were over playing their positions trying to make something happen. I could see a pitch to a RB and let the RB throw the ball to maybe the TE or something once all the defensive players have committed to stop the run.

We need this game to pull us even with Dallas and tied with 2nd in the division. The Skins need to hog the ball and not let Dallas offense get the ball much like we did with the Saints.

Skins 34

Re: It's Dallas Week!
 

Dallas OL is a mess, Tryon Smith will not play, hopefully Haslett will put pressure and not regress like he has before. RGIII will be our version of Clint Longley.

Re: It's Dallas Week!
 

Dallas struggled in beating the lowly Browns. I believe the Skins can pull this one out.

Re: It's Dallas Week!
 

I hate Dallas...and Kyle Shanahan really cannot be the very worst offensive coordinator the Redskins have ever had, but he's trying awfully hard!

boom, end thread.

This game will tell us everything imo. Can RG3 handle the national stage, away game, against one of the most heated rivalery in sports?

Re: It's Dallas Week!
 

I hate to say this, but I am kinda glad that Dallas won. I would have hated to deal with the media favoritism towards the Cowpukes in a "must win" game situation and whatnot.

Re: It's Dallas Week!
 

Usually on a Dallas week, Dallas fans already talking sh*t today in the office. They quiet as hell today. lololololololol. Not a single fan has pinged me or come to my desk...lolololol i love it when they have no confidence in their team.

Took a vacation to work? That's strange unless you work at a sports bar that's open on TG.

Re: It's Dallas Week!
 

So pumped for this game, ever since I was a kid, even before I became a football (or Skins) fan I hated the Cowboys. Not only that, I actually get to watch this game live instead of having to wait until midnight or so for GameRewind to put it up not to mention having to dodge people talking about the score all day (usually work Sundays and Mondays during game times). On top of all that I will be enjoying some amazing food and a few beers.

Just need a complete Skins blowout win and you can't ask for a better Thursday off than that.

Re: It's Dallas Week!
 

LETS GO SKINS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think we can pull this out but Romo is NOT Nick Foles and the dallas recievers are good like it or not.... this is gong to be a tough game from the o line to the secondary... crazy things i see happening... i'm praying we pull out the W

SKINS - 30
LOSERS - 24

What??? Based on the Eagles game? Or?

You gotta do better than this, don't give us that comment the day after we beat a division rival by the largest margin in 7 years. You redefine debi-downer...

Only one thing is certain, this game will not tell us everything about RG3.

It will be a growing experience for him, hopefully positive. There are a lot of RG3 fans in Texas, I suspect some of them will be at the game.

Re: It's Dallas Week!
 

Geez oh man I hope we smoke the Cowpukes Thursday!!!!!!!! Yesterday showed we clearly have the talent to compete, and the division is ripe for a run.

Plus I have a buddy - long time Cowpukes fan - headed down there and would love to give him sh!t rest of the season :)

Yeppers. Getting a win Thursday almost certainly requires a total team effort i.e. the play-calling/coaching has to be at the same high level of player performance. If Mike makes it happen I'll eat that crow with a glass of scotch and a smile :)

Re: It's Dallas Week!
 

Much as I hate them (and I do) ... this will be tough. While their O-line is comparable to the eagles, especially with Smith out, their D is much much better than the Eagles and they are not playing a rookie. Really depends on how Romo plays. Also, don't count on Witten to play the tip drill for us like Celek.

To be clear - I hate Dallas but am just worried b/c our Defense's issues.

A friend of mine, who happens to be a Cowboys fan (it's her only character flaw and she's a Texan, although she's very down on her team and has been for a few years) tells me that there are TONS of RGIII fans throughout Texas, such that at the Baylor bookstore, there's a RGIII [U]Redskins[/U] jersey section. She also tells me that there are a non-trivial number of Cowboys fans that are so frustrated with Romo and Garrett that they're actually feeling a little conflicted about this game.

Let's make this like Rocky IV, where by the end the Russians were cheering for Rocky Balboa. Let's get Dallas fans cheering "RGIII".

OK -- in reality, I would settle for a win.

I expect that there will be alot of his family at this game. When that happened in New Orleans well we all know....

Time to break the Thanksgiving day losing streak to the Cowboys and win the damn game.

Re: It's Dallas Week!
 

Not to get too far ahead of things here, but beating Dallas makes for a wonderful set-up for the second NYG game at home, where the NFC East could be on the line.

Merriweather looked very solid back there yesterday, by the way. I am worried about his health, but he had a few moster hits and a nice pick. Also, give credit where it is due -- Wilson had a pretty nice game too, as did DHall. It was a solid overall effort by our D, although I would still like to see more of a pass rush. But giving up only 6 points to a division rival is nothing to sneeze at, and the whole group gets credit.

I think the Redskins can do a great job on both sides of the ball in this game. Dallas is still a good team but the Redskins are better. I say we are capable of defeating them by 3 TDs.

Wow. I hope that's right. There is no question that the Redskins are capable of playing really well at times (Eagles, Saints), but they're also capable of the occasional stinker (Steelers, Panthers), and often times, one gets both in a single game (Bengals and Giants games this year). If they can put together a complete game -- a good 60 minutes on both sides of the ball and special teams, they can certainly beat Dallas, and by a considerable margin. It would help to cut down on the penalties too. I think ball control -- a healthy dose of Morris and some TE passes up the gut (Paulsen is showing some real grit -- great reach for the TD yesterday) will be key.

Re: It's Dallas Week!
 

I hope we can pull it out but this game is gonna be a flat out battle and will go dowwn to the last possession. I honestly think that both teams will bring their "A" games on both sides of the ball, not really expecting a stinker from either team. This, IMO, is going to be one of those back and forth classics that folks will talk about for a long time. With that said........I expect that we willl see the EXACT, mark my words, EXACT, same outcome as the Giants game a few weeks back. RG3 leads a stellar TD drive in thew 4th quarter which will leave about 1:25-1:20 for the Cowsissies...Romo hooks up with Miles Austin on a blown coverage on the final drive for the win. HOWEVER, I do believe the Skins will show up and a play a solid all-around game until, ultimately our biggest flaw will show. It is games like these that flaws get exposed and determine outcomes.

Skins: 28
Cowsissies: 31

Re: It's Dallas Week!
 

I see Miles Austin have a big game much like Danny Amendola did against us. I dont think we have a corner that can hang with him..... I hope like hell I am wrong.

Kerrigan gets two safeties and outscores the Cowboys kicker.

Re: It's Dallas Week!
 

Dallas is really no different than Philly. We already know what we can do offensively. Let's hope our defense has indeed changed for the better because they'll have their work cut out for them. They'll have to show that their performance against the Eagles yesterday was no fluke. Hopefully they will stifle the Cowboys offense.
