Redskins vs Cowboys Gameday Thread

[12thMan]

This game came down to about three plays.

The muffed field goal, the 3rd and 21, and Rex' fumble at the end. The better team didn't win tonight. As bitter as this lost was, there are a lot of positives to take away from this game.

What did we improve on this week? D played pretty well, but the Cowboys found a way to generate yds on the ground in the 2nd half which they hadn't done for 10 previous quarters. I'm pretty sure when I look at the game again, I'll see several one-on-one match-ups lost by the OL, QB play hasn't improved, O-playcalling was worse than last week. All this against a very banged up and inexperienced team that made several mistakes.

I'm not feeling good at all about this game.

I noticed Terrance Austin and Grossman weren't on the same page. Yet another reason preseason and regular season are two completely different seasons.

Somebody needs to teach Rex to throw the ball away when he is running for his life. He might have the worst acceleration I’ve ever seen out of a professional athlete. He felt the pressure. He just didn’t do anything about it. Its like he accepted the fact that he was about to lose the game and couldn’t consider any other options. He had two more downs…THROW THE BALL AWAY. At worst, take the freaking sack.

True, he can't run for shit.

Never got that.. why it takes till halftime if even then

In school we would quickly change them between drives... hell it is the NFL.. bring an extra pair with diff sets

If we stop them on that ****ing 3rd and 21, it's more than likely they punt or turn it over on downs. Instead, Haslett thinks that Dallas is more stupid than the Madden AI from 10 years ago and calls THREE STRAIGHT Cover-0 blitzes in a ****ing row. DUDE, remember last week? Hall got burnt on that Cover-0 to Fitz. Hall SUCKS in Cover-0. And the same playcall three times in a row? Hell, no one does that. NO ONE.

Let's talk about another special teams blunder. When is Danny Smith going to be fired? Play after play after play each week. It's always something.

Wait, I'm confused, what did Danny Smith screw up this week?

Another botched hold/block field goal. it's ALWAYS something. Holding flags negating TDs, blocked field goals (2 in 2 weeks) and it's not just THIS game. It's been horrible for a couple years now.

The bad hold wasn't Danny Smith's fault. He wasn't out there holding. Rocca just choked and messed up the hold. It happens. But it shouldn't.

The penalties on kick/punt returns though has been a glaring problem for the past 2 seasons though. I feel like every time we get a good return.. which is already few and far between.. it gets called back.
