This is Dallas...the ultimate enemy of any Redskin fan. Losing to them is NEVER a good loss...NEVER a moral victory. There's no such thing. This team has now lost two straight games in disappointing finishes to two hated rivals...and people are pleased??? Throw in the NYG loss from earlier this season and you're looking at 3 games the Redskins should have won. They're also 5-5 now in the WC game with difficult games ahead. Losing playoff position is ok too??
Yes there were injuries and other factors...yes they went into Dallas and lost a close game. But they still lost a very winnable game. I guess you all loved seeing Romo's silly, &%$@-eating grin over and over splashed on Fox. I guess it's ok to see TO running wild and mugging it up for the crowd at our expense since it's a MORAL victory...
Man...times have changed...I'm so mad I want to go throw a brick...no, a wheelbarrow full of bricks at anything with a Dallas star on it...and some folks here are ok with losing. Didn't used to be that way.

I knew it wouldn't be long before someone would try to spin this angle.
Personally I'm not "ok with losing".
But overall, I feel that there were a lot of positives to take away from this game. We don't need to walk away from this game with our heads down, the team went all out, played a damn good game, and lost. Sometimes you can put forth a great effort and still lose.
I'm not ok with losing, I'm simply proud of the overall effort I saw today. They are two completely separate things, don't confuse the two.
