It's Dallas Week!

[jdc65]

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
