You B-A-R-E-L-Y won that game. I watched it. Had the vikings been quarterbacked by a legit NFL qb, your defense was toast.

Seriously?? This is coming from someone whose team barely won against the Cardinals and got dominated in every aspect of the game. Let's see, other than the Lions' game, tell me which game the offense looked solid? Even the game Dallas lost they scored 27. The Skins offense could not put away and 0-6 team AT HOME and had to wait for their kicker to save them in OT.

I am not pointing out anything and I am not insulting anyone. But you quoted what I said. Isaid in my post that Dallas barely won, and you wanted me to "admit" to what I have already said.

I know you are frustrated, but instead of ranting about how barely Dallas won, you should be more concerned about how your team will do next weekend.

I am not talking about us, I can freely freaking admit that we barely won. I'm a realist. Focus on the issue at hand. The point of everything I said is that if you look around the league this week, including but not limited to the Dallas Fucking Cowboys, you will see that a lot of solid teams struggled with not so solid teams. If this offends your delicate sensibilities, too bad.

What the hell is the point of your posts? What are you arguing about? I'm saying we barely won, I'm just saying we shouldn't get too down about it since other good teams (hey, that's a friggin' compliment) i.e. the Cowboys also played poorly...

I am not offended, mad or even bothered by your comments. You are the one who responded to my post after I pointed out the differences. Both teams barely won, but Dallas looked good barely winning where as the Skins, well looked like the 2nd half Skins they have been this season.

Look at the yards gained and yards allowed for the Skins, Dallas and each of their respective opponents. Look at the margin of victory of the two games. How are those the same is just beyond me. Plus, the bright spot on the Skins team, before Sundays game, was the D. They didn't look good in the second half either.

Your sig suggests that we "Breath.think.Post"
Here is mine for you
Breath.Breath.Breath.Think.Post.

You are mad, and rightly so, but at the wrong person.

I don't know who said it, but the saying goes something like "I believe in luck, and the harder I work the more I have" it might've been TJ.

You say the Redskins weren't lucky, are you kidding? If the Cardinals didn't miss the PAT or Boldin throws it just a foot or two higher for the 2 point conversion, or Racker doesn't miss, you would be screaming how inept this offense is and rightly so.

The only thing I liked about the game is how Gibbs didn't do that BS timeout to make Racker redo it. It is about time coaches act like men and take defeat like men too.

That's just silly. If the Redskins hadn't missed that field goal in the 2nd half, Rackers' field goal attempt would not have meant anything. If the refs hadn't given the Cardinals two BS penalties on two 3rd downs in a TD drive, Rackers field goal attempt would not have meant a thing. If the Cardinals had not gotten a funky bounce on the onside kick, Rackers' field goal attempt would have meant nothing.

Ifs are stupid. All that matters is whether you got a "W" or a "L."

I responded because your posts were pointless. They were simply making excuses for why you're team was barely able to beat a weak opponent. I'm done with this conversation.

Maybe, but the Vikes really do not have a legit #1 WR to complement a QB either. They have a very good 2 headed running attack, and a stout run defense.

Now I am unclear as to the definition of "barely won" is it a 10 point spread? 14? 21? I would not say Dallas barely won, they beat a lesser opponent they were supposed to beat. (BTW the spread at gametime was 9.5, and Dallas covered, I am not so sure that Washington even covered.) "Barely" is such a relative term. But one would have to classify a 2 point difference as barely, expecially since it was very close to a Cardinals upset.

Not to mention after this week the Redskins will be 4-3 and Dallas 6-1 and a 2 game lead in the division with 9 games to go.

If you don't believe me just ask Joe Gibbs. And I quote:

The Washington Redskins had barely enough offense to beat the Arizona Cardinals. That kind of output won't do next week against the juggernaut otherwise known as the New England Patriots.
"We'll probably be the biggest underdog in the history of sports," coach Joe Gibbs said Monday. "Has anything held up against them? Do you have a game plan that will work against them? If you do, leave it here. Because I don't think anybody else has got one right now. We're going to struggle hard."

We didn't lose yet, Jack.
