WT - Victory doesn't change anything

[Defensewins]

I am all for clebrating the Dallas win, but let's be realistic.
We are not playing very well, our defense is weak (3rd worst in NFL) , our offense is inconsistant (Brunell),and people are talking playoffs?
Are we talking about the Washington Redskins or another team?

I watched the Dallas game for a second time on DVR last night thinking I would enjoy it. It was awful.
I hate to say it and it will piss some people off, but we did not deserve to win that game. Luckily we were playing a team that is as bad as we are right now. The Terrel Owens drop of a sure TD pass would have sealed the game for Dallas. It was dumb luck that we won that game. Romo's pass was perfect and the ball was in TO's hand, it was an easy catch. Plus add the two would be dropped inteceptions that bounced off the chest and head of the Dallas DB's. It was an ugly win.

Why not? I've said this a zillion times. There were a bunch of plays WE could have made too that would have won the game for us, like a landslide.

Very true. Both teams had their chances to pull away.

That holding call gets called on Witten, they may not have gotten the TD. If Cooley hauls in that deep pass, maybe we go up by another TD. Say Fauria doesn't get called for that BS holding penalty, Lloyd gets us deep into their territory, maybe ANOTHER TD. MAYBE we punch it in on the one yard line.

That missed holding on Witten really amazed me, he basically dragged down the guy and you could see him expecting to get flagged as he looked back at the ref after the play.

That was seriously a piss poor officiated game.

Damn straight. We "should have" have punched it into the endzone with 7 tries in the redzone just like TO "should have" caught that TD pass.

Whoever ends up with the most points is the team that "should have" won. Shooting yourself in the foot is unfortunate, and we all know the Skins have done that on a regular basis, but it's part of the game.

Plain and simple we currently not playing play off caliber football.
We are currently not a very good football team. We have talent but we suck at certain key positions right now.
I know short term memory comes into play after the Cowboys win, but remember we were crushed by Colts, 1st Dallas games, Giants game and the Titans loss was a really bad sign.
Unless the defense comes together and the offense plays up to it's talent level, what good would making the playoffs be if we get crushed by a good team in the first round on national TV.
We need to learn how to walk before we can run. The priorities need to be:
1) Become a good all around team
2) Make the PLayoffs
3) win a super bowl.

So in my opionion Playoff talk is kind of pointless at this stage.
We are not even at #1

Good point! At this point, one win is a freak (although deserved). Two is the beginning of a trend! Hail to the Redskins!!!!!!!

The win is terrific, especially within the rivalry aspect. which is of course very very important, but takes a back seat to making the playoffs, which is still quite a stretch. So I love the win, means a lot to beat dallas, but doesnt change much about the looks of the season. However, there is still hope. Dallas sucks, skins rule.

Sunday night on NBC TV Sterling Sharpe refered to the Skin Cowboys game as being "MESS" TO wanting to apologize for the dropped passes, unsportsmanlike conduct penalties and a host of other failures was no excuse. TO wanted to say how much he felt he let the team down. However, Sharp maintained that instead of TO apologizing, the whole team should be apologizing for us to have to watch that "MESS". Just think, our games have been reduced to an afterthought by some in the media, more commonly known as "MESS".

Yeah, that game was one of the best "messes" I've seen in a while. Still watching some of the replay.

Chyea.

Yeah, I mean I know it's shitty of me to bitch after a WIN, but honestly, we could have straight blown them out. I mean Griffin got held BAD on a 3rd and long where they drove down and got a FG.

Thank God we won, or losing that way would have left a VERY bad taste in our mouths. I was pissed off too. If Dallas beat us fairly, that's one thing, but to win because of a poorly officiated game?? Man oh man, that would have SUCKED.

THANK GOD WE WON!

Or maybe Randle El takes that punt return to the house if he doesn't get tripped?

For some reason I didn't catch that during the game, guess I was busy typing on here or something, but when I saw the highlight I was like holy shit how in the hell did they miss that trip?? It was so freaking obvious.
