It Is Dallas Week, Isn't It?

[D'BOYZ]

Well it has helped that your Defensive Coodrinator has decide to use Orakpo more as a Downlineman than LB which was a stupid,stupid idea

[CRedskinsRule]

As much as I want us to win, if Garrett gets it right the mix of Miles Austin and their running game scares me. My guess is Romo goes out, but instead of us winning, Kitna leads them to a victory. If Romo stays in, we get a turnover that gives us the victory.

[RobH4413]

I tell you, If we put up some numbers in the running game... That could put a ray of hope on this season.

I've all but given up on the Skins this year, But I certainly like the idea of sweeping Dallas. Will is happen? No. But I will pray that it does.

LETS GO SKINS!!!

dallas sucks.

Would love to see a win.

What I believe is the Cowboys are thier own worst enemy. They beat themselves, more often than not and really dont get beat on the field.

Loss to the Giants. Giants did not win the game so much as Dallas lost it. Dallas turns the ball over 4 times, and still lost by only 2 points. Take away one or 2 turnovers, the outcome is much different.

Loss to Denver.....Romo fumbles inside his own 20 giving the Broncos a short field. Broncos score their only TD on that drive. Romo does not fumble....different outcome.

Loss to Green Bay. Other than Roy Williams having bacon grease on his hands all day and Romo's fumble, I blame that loss strictly on the coaching staff. When you have one of the leagues top rated rushing attacks, with 3 solid running backs that could be starters any where else on the league, then why in the hell do you run the ball only 11 damn times for the whole game and throw it 49? Especially on the road in Green Bay.

During that 4 game winning streak this season, the penalties were reduced and the team did not turn the ball over even once in 4 games. And they ran a very balanced offensive attack. As a result they won 4 straight.

So to answer your question, I like to think that if Dallas can play semi-mistake free football, they can compete with any team in the league.

Could it be they can't play well against top defenses? I mean, Giants, Packers, and Broncos are defensively ranked #1, #4, #6 respectively.

Possibly, but they still rang up a 30 spot on the Giants defense even after they turned the ball over 4 times.

ANd like I said earlier, take away one or two of those turnovers, there could be more points on that board too.

But if "IF's" were fifth's, we would all be drunk right now.

Redskins ranked 5th.

What about B. Marshall's game winner?

Also, we could say we could've beat philly if you take away the turnovers, but why doesn't the defense get credit for forcing them? In the dallas - nyg game Pierce makes a great call & perhaps confused romo into a bad throw for a pick 6. Turnovers are also forced, not just given up.

Here's hoping Dallas gives up more than we do.

No arguement there. That play Pierce made was simply a great player making a great play. Indeed, he did force the turnover.

My problem is with the other 3 (all on Romo) were stupid turnovers. Mishandling and fumbling on the Dallas side of the 50. Throwing deep balls into double and even triple coverage. Those are the silly mistakes he did NOT make in that 4 game winning streak.

But you see my point, yes, defenses do force turnovers. But it is the silly ones that are well within the control of the offense to avoid that will kill them.

Well....when summary sentences carry IF, it usually means can't and won't. AND if every team had the oppurtunity to erase....one or two of those pesky turnovers, every team would look like the Pats?
