Cowboys vs Skins: Pre-Game thread

[skinsfan69]

We're not winning this game. With or without RG3. Keep him on the bench until after the bye.

Colt McCoy will start Monday night's game at Dallas, as expected.

The Redskins tried to keep everyone guessing by listing Robert Griffin III (ankle) as questionable, but he was never a realistic bet to suit up. It will be the McCoy show on a national stage, leaving the Cowboys defense to lick its chops. In 21 career NFL starts, McCoy has thrown 20 interceptions, fumbled 12 times and taken 55 sacks. Griffin will either be back for Week 9 against the Vikings or immediately following the Week 10 bye.

for those who were holding out any hope per rotoworld

I have very little confidence that McCoy is going to play well tonight. We're going to see a very conservative game plan.

A conservative game plan against Dallas would be a mistake. Dallas is better than we are. I don't think we can beat them with a vanilla game plan.

Our only advantage is that they have something to lose and we don't. If they play cautiously while we let it all hang out, we might get lucky and steal the game. If we don't win, at least it might be an entertaining game to watch.

It'd be nice if we had a defense and special teams that could pick it up enough to make up for having a reasonably decent backup QB in the game.

It'd probably help if said backup could get a first down every now and then. Instead of 3-and-outs.

ernest byner, a great redskin. very cool NC.

really pumped up for tonight.

perfect time to knock the boys off on MNF at their house.

im torn on the approach we should take - gamble or play tight?

i would like to stop the run as our first priority but i am very afraid to leave our secondary exposed bc we are prone to mis-communication and letting guys get behind coverage.

im interested to see how our coaching staff approaches this must-win game.

It would be awesome if Gruden puts a good game together tonight, his first as our HC. I like Gruden and think he could develop into a great HC, but so far it's been pretty bad. The plays come in too slow, his play design isn't impressive and he doesn't have the team playing their guts out.

Like said earlier a conservative gameplan on offense would be a mistake. Whip the oline and put it on them to open lanes for Morris to pound the rock, but then take big shots downfield.

I think Gruden has some ways to go as a HC BUT I think, generally, his game planning has been pretty damn good. He clearly plans to attack defenses at their weak points, however, the execution between interceptions, dropped balls and missed blocking assignments has been less than good. Throw in penalties and turnovers, and you just can't game plan around that.

As to "playing their guts out," maybe. Maybe not. Several players play injured, other than the NYG game, I haven't seen any "quit" on the field.

Don't get me wrong, the buck stops at the coaching and he needs to turn around the mistakes and execution errors or, alternatively, he needs to sit folks down - if only for a series or two - just to send a message.

Just found a penny on heads. Take that Cowboys!
