I agree ... it was definitely more COWBOYS LOSE than REDSKINS WIN... but...

don't forget people....

Game would have been won fair and square if CARLOS ROGERS COULD CATCH!!

Does he need contacts?? Seriously!

On the replay the ball hit his wrist!! It didn't even hit his hands??

So yes... we got lucky on the two plays at the end of the halves... but a cornerback has to catch that INT and the game is over.

dude was laid out in the air.. could've lost it in the lights

if he misses on jumping the route then we have more of an issue

sucks that we allowed 2 open passes into the end zone, but Barron had been holding blatantly the whole night

Have you been watching any Redskins games for the past 5 years? If you have you've seen him drop MULTIPLE INTS.

My point wasn't to say Rogers sucks... point was it wasn't all luck... we should have won it long before the hold.

Both Rogers and Landry could have ended the game. It's more on Rogers, 'cause he was going up for that ball. Landry was caught of guard, but Romo threw the ball right to his hands.

As soon as we can pass the ball well... and run the ball well... we'll have a good offense! lol

Not so sure about the "lucky" part at the end of the game. No question that Romo would have been smeared by Orakpo had he not been held...

Wow. What a great way to start the season. It's always such a pleasure to say, in taunting fashion, f*** the Cowboys!

Again, not sure if you guys know -- why was Heyer in there instead of our starting RT, Brown?? Didn't look like Brown was hurt..

same reason I quoted

[DCtoAZ]

I don't consider it lucky that #71 choke slammed Orakpo .. if he doesn't hold like that Romo is SackPo'd

Thanks tryfuuhl... Hmmm... So not playing a player helps "prevent injuries"? Guess I missed the postgame.

basically extended time was causing Brown to strain his hip in the pre-season, etc...

Shanahan also said that Lichtensteiger and Dock was a close competition in preseason, not sure what he saw that I missed, but he was there more..
