It's officially Dallas week!

[hesscl34]

I'm sick with nerves!!!!!! I want the Skins to step up and off on the right foot after their time off. This is really our last shot to set things right... ugh.... makes me sick just thinking about it!!!!!!!!!!!!

[RedskinRat]

Red, I think we all do.

Unfortunately with the way the current roster (OK, Brunell) is there's nothing to suggest that will happen.

This could be either the most heartening or sickening game I've ever seen. Please, let it be a Redskins romp over the Cow-Whores, I can't take too many more shitty games.

I don't believe this is JUST about Brunell. It's about a lot of problems that contribute to Brunell not playing well. We'll see how it all shakes out... and I'll be throwing up the entire time....

If we can put together just one two game winning streak this season i pray its with these two coming up. Since playoffs are unrealistic this game is the super bowl for me. On the flip side a two game winning streak means i have to watch #8 that much longer.

[TheMalcolmConnection]

Yup, and the blocked punt that SHOULD have been. Romo looked good, but don't put them in the Super Bowl just yet.

Does it really feel like Dallas week? What is there to get excited about? The Redskins flat out stink. I know that we are not better than Indy but look at how Denver pushed around Indy's d-fense? How come our high priced offense can't do that to Indy a week ago? Denver has their best linemen out for the year! Could the Redskins go on the road and beat a good team like Carolina on the road? No way in hell. Dallas has the better team and they should win the game.

I hate to admit it, but I feel the same way, it is a sense of foreboding that the Skins will lose the game. Like all fans I'll tune in and watch the game, I swear though if the Skins are listless and showing no signs of life I will be seriously ticked off. It will also prove that the team is fundamentally flawed, as discussed in the article from the past Sunday's Washington Post. The article is titled, "Redskins Pay the Price for Moves", a link is posted in the forum, for anyone interested in reading it.

By all means, please tell us how Gibbs will right the ship and they'll be a completely different team after the bye.

But seriously, this game could be ugly. I have a feeling that this game will make Dallas fans think that Romo is the second coming of Troy Aikman...

It would be a lot esier to have a conversation with you if you weren't such a smart ass, and didn't attack my posts every f-ing time I defend the SKINS! All is NOT lost. And if you think so, then you don't know Joe Gibbs. You are way too young to even understand the kind of faith people have in that man.

That's just a dumb comment. I may have been young, but I clearly remember the Broncos and Bills superbowls. I know how great of a coach Joe Gibbs is, and I give him all the credit he derserves for the win streak at the end of the season, last year. I also know that he is not God, and he is making a mistake by leaving Brunell as the starter.

And as far as "attacking your posts", I generally only do that when you try to tell someone they're not a fan because they don't think everything is fine.

You are cracking me up! You can be a fan and still criticize where the Redskins are at. Those who think that things are great and the ship will be righted next week (or the week after, or the week after) are not the only fans.

You can have all the faith in Gibbs that you want...show me the money!

This game will be ugly, and I see the Skins releasing their frustrations on the Cowboys, kinda like a sailor with his first shore leave after a 10 month sea voyage.

The Skins have seen plenty of tape on Romo now, and we won't have a rookie corner for them to pick on, we have a 2nd year guy who couldn't catch before he broke his thumb. We don't have the d-line the Panthers do, but we do have better linebackers.

My prediction for this game, a whole lotta pain for Dallas. I've been to two games thus far, Jax and TN, and haven't booed the Skins once. But I've thought it. I thought, "Booooooo" after every three and out, after every throw that skidded to an open receiver.

Stranger things have happened.

The Giants came out of their bye a new team.

I heard Lenny P. the other day make a good point. The NFL is so unpredictable that you almost have to analyze the season in 2 game increments, the league basically flip flops every 2 weeks or so.

Think about some of what we saw yesterday:

The Jags were on the ropes and they somehow beat Philly who has slid after a hot start.

The Ravens who were struggling mightily offensively drop 35 on New Orleans.

After a beatdown to NY, the Falcons have rebounded with two of their best games of the season back to back and are now 5-2.

Dallas hit rock bottom after looking horrible against NY to beat the Panthers.

[hail_2_da_skins]

I'm rooting for the Redskins all the way but I would be shocked if they beat the Girls. They have done nothing thus far this season to even make me think they can pull this one off. It would have to be a totally different level of intensity and effort that I haven't seen thus far. The defense can't stop anyone and the offensive is flat ugly. On offense, their best chance is to pound the ball with Portis, Betts and Duckett. Send the kitchen sink after Romo and hit everything moving on defense.
