Dallas Post-Game Thread

[KI Skins Fan]

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.
