drkewl Posted September 13, 2005 Share Posted September 13, 2005 I'm confused.... Dallas certainly showed some grit in their win... and they did actually score (no doubt they did better than us there). HOWEVER, overall offensively, we had more yards and had better defense. It looked like Dallas' improved D can be run on. I think so many years of futility have clouded some people's minds. I think it will be a very GOOD close game. PS - i know we didn't score much on sunday.... but this offense is MILES ahead of last year. In addition, offense always takes a few weeks to catch up and play with the defenses of the league every year... so while the verdict is still out, I see definite improvement, receivers heading downfield much more, and some *gasp* creative plays on offense. Our receivers are playmakers and they looked Good Sunday.... Chicago consistantly was playing a deep cover 2 ( i was at the game) which prevented the ball from going deep... so instead we ran on them and did it successfully. The deep ball will come. If Dalllas decides to stack the line, watch out. This team is going to raise a few eyebrows on monday. Just wait. PPS - I know we started off the season with a victory the last few years and that didn't really mean anything long term. So what? would you rather us lost on Sunday? Bottom line, we won... every victory in the parity football league is critical. PPPS - Philly's dominance in the NFC is in danger... their offense has problems. TO is their ONLY Wide receiver. EVery critical throw in the Falcon's game went to him. G Lewis was just the other guy opposite of him. I think the NFC East will actually have a battle for first place this year as well.

Guest sith lord Posted September 13, 2005 Share Posted September 13, 2005 Because you're only as good as your last game and they looked better than we did. But I think Brunnell will get the job done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TD_washingtonredskins Posted September 13, 2005 Share Posted September 13, 2005 I would love to be optimistic, but I just think we always find a way to lose to them. I think we have a slightly better chance with Brunell than we did with Ramsey. Anyway, if we win, I'll be thrilled, but I don't see how anyone can realistically expect it given the past 7 or 8 years.

Please explain to me how Brunell and his 70 passing yards gives more of a chance to win? Honestly, I don't see it at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevinthePRF Posted September 13, 2005 Share Posted September 13, 2005 1. Our present record against them 2. Our present record in primetime 3. Unlike us, they do not have any huge glaring gaping holes like we apparently do at QB. Hopefully Brunnell will prove us all wrong and that last year's bad stretch was actually due to his injury. I hope it's this Monday. If we win, Skins fans expectations will shoot through the roof, so I'm looking forward to the game none the less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tass Posted September 13, 2005 Share Posted September 13, 2005 Series history notwithstanding, a number of factors point to a Dallas victory. 1) Dallas held LT, arguably the best runner in the NFL, to 72 yards. Portis is good but I think he's not quite as good as Tomlinson. The Chargers have a great offensive line, too. 2) Jansen will be a turnstile with no thumbs. 3) Brunell is awful. He showed that last year. Do aging QBs get better as they age? 4) The Dallas CBs match up very well against the Skins receivers. 5) Dallas has 4 very good receivers. Look for Crayton to burn the Skins again. The only hope Washington has is for Bledsoe to have a very off day or for the Dallas special teams to remain awful. If Washington plays like they did against Chicago, they WILL get blown out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhigh44 Posted September 13, 2005 Share Posted September 13, 2005 Do aging QBs get better as they age Other than Doug Williams? BTW, you fail to mention anything about the skins defense. Ya think they may have something to do with the final outcome? Skins will win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoCommiesGo Posted September 13, 2005 Share Posted September 13, 2005 Series history. Complete lack of downfield passing ability. The fact that once again they'll stack 8-9 guys in the box and dare are dominating air attack to beat them. I can't believe I've lost all faith. Man this is depressing.

cuchip703 Posted September 13, 2005 Share Posted September 13, 2005 Please explain to me how Brunell and his 70 passing yards gives more of a chance to win? Honestly, I don't see it at all. It was the playcalling. We were having great success running the ball. While Ramsey had 11 pass attempts in a little more than a qtr....brunell only had 14 in the last 3 qtrs. (actually Ramsey was sacked twice...so there were two more passing plays called for him) Gibbs saw a weakness in the Bears defense and exploited it with Portis and Betts...I don't think we are going to see 10 WR Screens on Monday...hopefully we wont Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sashae Posted September 13, 2005 Share Posted September 13, 2005 1. We have been awful against Dallas for years. 2. We've been awful on MNF for years. 3. Mark Brunell. 4. Our offense in general. 5. Profit? -s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nneece Posted September 13, 2005 Share Posted September 13, 2005 Because with Brunell as starting QB, we suck. We are incapable of scoring TD's. Dallas (and Bledsoe) proved that they can score points against a very good Charger's team. Mark my words, we will get killed unless the defense comes up really big.

If Washington plays like they did against Chicago, they WILL get blown out. Nobody blew out Washington with that defense last year. And if we play like we did against Chicago against you...(i.e. opponent 160 total yards...Washington 170 yards rushing...you won't blow us out this year either... Now I am not predicting a washington win at all, as history has proven that Dallas just has the Skins number, but realistically, a blowout is just not possible IMHO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeownU Posted September 13, 2005 Share Posted September 13, 2005 I have to admit, I'd rather play against Ramsey than Brunell, although I haven't watched brunell much in the last couple of years, I've always enjoyed playing against Ramsey. He always makes the bad play, throws a pick, holds on to the ball too long. I think you have a better chance with Brunell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myzhi Posted September 13, 2005 Share Posted September 13, 2005 How about we barely beat a **** team while they beat playoff team. Not to mention other stuff going against since 1-15 Cowgirls beat us. I am still embarass about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KevinthePRF Posted September 13, 2005 Share Posted September 13, 2005 Touche'. However, It sure looks like Bledsoe has more left (and better weapons) than Brunell. Just throwing it out there. On PAPER (where have I heard that before) you guys have what it takes to beat us again. But I disagree Bledsoe has better weapons or a better offensive line for that matter. I consider those tangibles even at best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drkewl Posted September 13, 2005 Author Share Posted September 13, 2005 I just watched the replay of PR's pass to moss.... another ugly pass... he FLOATED it AGAIN. Yea it was complete, but this guy is a moron, he litterally took all the offseason coaching to heart and doesn't put heat on ANY pass at ANY time. Brunnell managed the game and did exactly what gibbs wanted him to do. More importantly, we were able to RUN out the clock when the whole world knew we were going to just run run run on the Bears that last drive.. and the vaunted Bears D couldn't stop us.
