It's Dallas Week!

[Bucket]

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.

Redskins 120
Dallas 3

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

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.

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!

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?

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.

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 Redskins 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.

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.

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

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!!!!
