Dallas and Washington are very much alike...

[FRPLG]

I think your analysis of our issues is pretty off.

[EARTHQUAKE2689]

she's not saying our offense is bad (even though it is) she is saying that the Dallas D and the Washington O aren't playing to the talent level they have and what we expected in the start of the season

Especially if you put it that way, I disagree. The Dallas D is playing precisely to its talent level: poor. Many folks expected the Cowboys to struggle on defense this year.

As for the Redskins O, they are underperforming as a unit. But there is talent there which could produce differently.

Summary: moving forward, there is more upside to the Redskins O than there is for the Dallas D

Agreed there. I just don't think that the Dallas D is as BAD as everyone thinks or how they are playing now. I think they are better than that.

Dallas' front 7 is pretty nice, the defensive backfield sucks! Ware is a beast, and I like Spears, Ratliff, and James. Newman is an overrated Probowl POS!

^^Wow thanks Jsarno, I love my team but I am not blind to what is wrong with them. I could have a conversation with you because every point you made I would make a smiliar reply to Buster's post. Who knows had Campbell been able to have the time to groom like Romo he may be better. Romo hit his celing already, he ain't getting better.

Newman is overrated and he never deserved that extension he signed. He will be gone after next year. Backfield is horrible and has been horrible since Darren Woodson retired. When Hamliln got paid he just don't care about playing hard anymore. I enjoyed Carnell Williams trucking him week 1.
Ratliff & Ware are the only ones who ever brings fire. I have mixxed feelings on the front 4. Canty jetting off to the NYG hurts.

You have it right. That is exactly what I was trying to say. Sorry for the confusion, maybe I should get some sleep before I post. Redskins do have talent on offense but I just don't know if they prefer to run or pass.

Dallas offense has lots of talent and the Redskins Defense has a lot of talent but they often take themselves out of position to be the elite group in the NFL. For Dallas, Romo is the problem more often than not. Romo has had his chances same broken record no new tunes.
Redskins defense I would say pass rushers and LaRon Landry is not the same guy he was 2 years ago. He takes bad angles and trys to superman the ball-carrier. Haynesworth is a great pickup. How these two sides take that next step?

Dallas defense can't get a sack, turnover, or stop players from getting wideopen in the middle of the field.
The Redskins can't find the endzone because the offense has no identity.
QB Campbell needs to stop telling people they need to play harder when he is fing up. No pocket awareness. In his defense the marry go round of coaches hurts him.

Campbell > R(h)omo.
Portis > Dallas RRBC
Skins WRs > Dallas busts/scrubs lined up at WR
Skins D >>>>>>>>> Dallas d
Skins owner > Dallas egomaniac
Every NFL owner except maybe Al Davis > Jerry Jones
Hunter the Punter > Dallas punter forced to kick line drives so the stadium won't block his kick

Nope...Romo is better, just cause you don't like him doesn't all of sudden mean he is worse.

Portis > Dallas RRBC

nope. Portis is good (obviously), but Barber and Felix Jones are better...unless you're counting the barber quad injury.

Skins WRs > Dallas busts/scrubs lined up at WR

Not sure...I think Williams, Crayton, and Miles are better than Moss, Kelly, and Randel El...albeit slightly. Although I am excited about Kelly for the future.

Skins D >>>>>>>>> Dallas d

YUP...no brainer.

Skins owner > Dallas egomaniac

Nope. Jones has rings, Snyder wins at fantasy football. Jones has a more lucrative team, and brings attention to his team like no other. I would still prefer Snyder though, but that does not mean he's a better owner.

Every NFL owner except maybe Al Davis > Jerry Jones

I would certainly take a few of the owners over Jones, however, that is a NOPE statement. You'd take the Lions / Rams / Jags / Browns / Bengals owners over Jones? You're smoking something, or lying to yourself.

Hunter the Punter > Dallas punter forced to kick line drives so the stadium won't block his kick

Nice research on the dallas punter's name. haha

Love the enthusiasm, but being a homer doesn't have to mean you are blind.

Dallas can score points. They just ran over a very good Giants defense. Just mauled them in the run game. However the secondary is a real problem. We may be alike cause one side of the ball is better than the other but that's the case with a lot of teams. But Dallas is probably better simply cause they can score.

Well their defense gives up a lot of points. How is that different from a team that doesn't score much but has a defense that doesn't allow that many points?

not that much different. but their defense hasn't been bad for several years and our offense has been.

They have to try to keep up with all of the points their defense gives up.

[SkinDogg]

Dallas has a jumbotron. We have Lite-Bright.

jsarno and VRG, you guys don't know how nice it is to hear from both sides A: dallas fan that doesn't think they are going to go undefeated the rest of the year and SB bound and B:skins fan who realizes that it is only week 2 and there is still ALOT of fubball left!

[Dirtbag59]

This thread is so wrong.
