Is The Redskins Victory a Reason To Be Worried?
The Redskins and Cowboys have feuded with each other just like the real settlers and indians of the 1800s.
Also, like their predecessors, they have been strong and have won major victories. The Redskins have three Super Bowls to go along with their two NFL Championships and Dallas’ five Super Bowls.
However, to my great delight *wink wink*, the Redskins have struggled greatly due to an owner who makes Al Davis look not half bad and a general manager that neglects key positions along the team.
The Redskins have had a repugnant offense this season. Before the Cowboys game, they had 140 points over nine games. That’s 15.55555 (endless 5) points per game.
Dallas however, had one of the best offenses, averaging 24.88888(endless 8) points per game.
The Redskins offense also did not have Chris Samuels, Clinton Portis, or Chris Cooley.
They were supposed to, what’s the word, fail this game, and they did.
However, what appauled this writer more was the fact that the Dallas offense, for the second week in a row, had only one touchdown.
7-6 was the final. The Dallas defense saved the day after Tony Romo made a clutch touchdown throw to Patrick Crayton.
Regardless of the fact Dallas won that game, they should be utterly disgusted with themselves for not sending the Redskins on their own Trail of Tears.
Why is it that Dallas was losing for three and a half quarters before they pulled out a win? They can get away with this against the Redskins, but what about other teams like the Eagles or the Giants?
What’s wrong with this offense?
The football player in me says they all failed, but the analyst in me is able to point a couple fingers and criticize a few guys who need to do their jobs.
Roy Williams is still not a bust, but he is ticking me and a lot of my friends off. He missed multiple opportunities for big plays in that game. Tony Romo may not had the best pass at times, but those balls were certainly catchable, and Roy Williams did not catch them.
In fact, no wide receiver caught a pass until well into the second half of the game, and that is unacceptable.
I can possibly give Miles Austin a break. I understand he was double covered a large amount of the time, and there was one play where the defensive back almost decapitated Austin as he went for the ball.
I’m still confused as to why a penalty was not called there.
Austin came through in the end with four catches for 47 yards.
Roy Williams had nothing, and he is really frustrating me. I still believe he has the ability to get on the same page with Romo and make these plays like he did in Detroit. The question is when will the chemistry click?
Could it be that the Skins were just pumped for this game because of the rivalry? Yeah, but I still think Dallas is better.
Dallas should have been pumped for this game. If I’m Jason Garrett, I want to run up the score and make the Skins realize that they belong at the bottom of the NFC East.
It didn’t happen though.
I don’t understand what happened, but it has to change. Maybe it is the playcalling, maybe Romo needs to go overtime in practice with Williams, or maybe they need someone to do is, “break my foot in your John Brown hindparts,” to quote Denzel Washington in the movie, “Remember The Titans”
Dallas won that game by a nose, and they have the Raiders, who now are coming a big win against the Bengals, on Thanksgiving.
I don’t want my turkey messed up by an anemic offensive attack.
This team has got to do better. They need to diagnose this problem and get an aggressive treatment for it before it bites them in the heel in two days.
Two days. That’s all the Cowboys have.
Should I be this worried? It is the Raiders right? Sorry, I don’t underestimate the Raiders, and the fact is they have benched Dallas’ best weapon known as JaMarcus Russell.
If Tubby the QB was playing, I’d be a little less worried, but they are going up against Bruce Gradkowski, who isn’t the best, but he’s definitely an upgrade over Russell at the quarterback position.
Also, count on Austin to struggle because the Raiders have the best cornerback in the league, in my opinion, in Nnamdi Asomugha.
The guy is a textbook shutdown corner and he’ll be on Austin for sure.
Which means our main target will be Roy Williams. Uh Oh!
Should Dallas fans be worried? Absolutely. My advice is for the religious one to start praying, because they’ll need all the help they can get.
Ugly game
not one worthy of entry into the long list of great battles
but typically close
as it should have been
It was an ugly win, but keep in mind, when bad teams play ugly games, they lose. It’s the good teams that find ways to win even when they’re not playing well. I think Dallas can be thankful for coming out of their little slump 1-1, and 7-3 overall.
