Dallas Post-Game Thread

BTW right now our yes our Washington Redskins are the 3rd seed in the playoffs and 3rd in the NFC standing (4-1) conf record. That is pretty damn good folks

Any win against Dallas is a great win. They are still our biggest rival and there has been so much crazy stuff that has happened in this series that I am thrilled to get a win over Dallas under any circumstances. Compared to other finishes in this series, that missed field goal barely registers on the dagger in the heart scale of games contested by these two teams.

We obviously had a conservative game plan on offense and a defensive game plan to stop the run and then throw everything but the kitchen sink at Dak in passing situations. I fully endorse this game plan which was essentially forced upon us (especially on offense). The results speak for themselves. We had no turnovers on offense and our defense forced the Cowboys to turn the ball over multiple times, one of which resulted in our game-winning touchdown.

It seems to me that we Redskins fans might need to get used to the idea that our defense can now lead us and even score touchdowns. I'm starting to believe in our D and I think it can only get better. We haven't had that in a long time. With a dominant D, it might be a good thing for us to have a QB who doesn't take a lot of chances and doesn't turn the ball over, even if he misses some throws. It has been said that more NFL games have been lost than won. If that is true, then let our opponents lose to us by turning the ball over more than we do.

Great game played by your team yesterday. I cannot help but admire and appreciate the way Washington controlled the field position battle throughout the first half. Playing offense and defense on Dallas's side of the 50. Well played indeed.

I have always said the best way to beat the Dallas offense is to take away 21 and make Dak beat you with his arm. Which everyone (except Prescott and Garret) knows will not happen. Your defense did well at this Sunday.

I take back what I said about Alex Smith. His quick release and rapid check-downs kept the pass rushers at bay.

Adrian Peterson - who knew?

AD has been the biggest surprise story of the league , I don't count Mahomes because the hype around him all off season.

we got lucky on the sack / td. Greg Stroman got beat so bad on a double move that it could have been a 90 yard TD

It's not really lucky. That's why they say a good DL helps the DB's and good DB's help the DLine.

It was because Dak is inept at reading a coverage

I don't think this has been posted, if so sorry for the duplicate.

Sounds like Kotwica was really studying film, the article puts it this way:

Stories of NFL coaches working 80 or 100 hours in a week are common. But they work that long to try to find the one small thing that could change a game.

This particular situation seems very rare. Coaches might find a tendency for an opponent to not to as well if he’s forced to move right or left, but how many times do they find a habit that could produce a potential penalty in all that film study?

Kotwica had to spot Ladouceur adjusting the ball on film, and think about how intently you’d need to watch film to find that. He had to know it was a potential penalty. Then Washington presumably taught its players what to watch for and how to react to it if they saw it, and which situation to execute it.

Good going coaches!
