Hi there  :) from the newly named AT&T Stadium, where you'll never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy. 

 

Playing the role of Murf tonight will be HOF44 aka Babbs to those of you that actually show up at tailgates at FedEx. Babbs don't twitter, so for ingame commentary you can simply follow me @TKextremeskins.  

 

Best quote of the night from last night happened as we were chillin outside with Doc. An idjit boys fan tried talking trash. Doc's response "You've had one significant victory in the last 17 years. ONE." 

 

This is it. Bright lights. Big city. Sunday Night Football. Primetime. The only game on. Feeling the pressure yet? Nervous with anticipation? The NFC East which has been looking like the NFC Least, is up for grabs. The Cowboys enter tonight's game at 2-3 while your Washington REDSKINS (see what I did there Wise?  :) ) are coming off their early Bye at 1-3. Sure the Boys put up points last week against Denver. Romo sits to pee even threw for over 500 yards. Doesn't matter. Dallas did some of those stupid Cowboy things that Dallas loves to do. Romo sits to pee choked again in the 4th and they didn't come away with the win. 

 

On  the flip side, the REDSKINS left Oakland with a win. I expect them to leave here the same way. After all, this is RG3's annual homecoming game. With the stage set for Prime Time and his four game "in season PreSeason" out of the way, don't be surprised if he puts on a show tonight. 

 

REDSKINS keys to the game:

 

1) Establish the run. Morris or Helu, Jr. Whoever gets hot. Because the run will

 

2) Open up the PA pass/boot game.

 

3) OL has got to play disciplined. No more stupid mistakes like the first four games.

 

4) Pressure Romo sits to pee. Do this, he'll take the INT record from Eli.  :)

FIRST QUARTER

 

Redskins kick off. Boys start at the 20. Dallas driving. Three plays & its 3rd & 1. Chain gang is out & they convert for a 1st down. Romo sits to pee to Murray over the vacated middle for a gain of 16. Defense needs to make a play here. Flag on Amerson for holding. Wrong play there rookie. Ball at the Redskins 38. Romo sits to pee throws incomplete to Witten. Murray to the right for 4 stopped by Riley. Fletcher changes the D. Kerrigan almost gets to Romo sits to pee who completes to Witten for a 1st down. Romo sits to pee complete to William who had to come back for it. Gain of 12 1st & goal at the 8. Murray up the middle, stopped by Fletcher. Flag for hands to the face on Rob Jackson. Grrrrrr. TD Murray. 

 

Dallas gets first blood here on the opening drive. However, you never heard heard Dez Bryant's name called once because Hall is taking him out of the game. So there's that. For now.

 

Redskins Opening Drive

 

Morgan back to return. Touchback. Redskins ball at the 20. 

 

ALf & DY in the backfield. RG3 passes complete to Hank, gain of 19. Griff on a scramble. GAME ON ****ES! Two plays & we're at midfield. Griff hands off to Morris for 3. Morris tests the right side for no gain. 3rd & 7. Griff to Reed over the middle where TEs have been KILLING the Dallas D at all year. Screen to Moss for a loss of 3. 2nd Down. Skins line upp 3 WRs to the left Griff goes to Reed at the right. 1st down. Morris up the middle stopped by Lee. We're passing all over these clowns much like they did our Defense. Cue a shootout. Morris with a great cut picks up 8 yards. !st down at the 9. Fakes the handoff to Morris rolls out & passes to Morris. Incomplete. 2nd down & goal. Morris to the right stopped by Ware. No gain. 3rd & goal. Griffen scrambles, stopped by Lee. 7 yard gain, 4th & goal. Forbath in to kick it & its good. 

 

Redskins 13 plays 78 yards. 

 

Redskins 3

Dallas 7

 

 

Thoughts At The Half

 

Griffen is FOCUSED. He was right. that early Bye came at the right time for him. O Line/run game still isn't where it should be & needs some work. Hank is starting to FINALLY come into his own. Third down is still a problem for the Offense. The Defense is only going to do two things for you. 1) is give up yards. A lot of yards. And 2) get you a few picks. Knowing that, the Offense REALLY needed to capitalize on INTs the Defense gets them. In the 2nd Quarter, they failed to do that.

 

Fletcher - I keep hearing his named called on almost every play. Maybe the Bye Week helped him as well.  He still doesn't need to be in coverage, but he's having a good game against the run.

 

Stupid penalties are stupid. I wish this team would get that into their heads & cut out the silly ****. 

 

The Deep Ball - Where is it? We've barely seen it this year.

 

Special Teams - Yeah, they're "special" alight. Still, though that running into the official was a **** call. The official is part of the field & guys get coached to play through them. 

 

Bottom line is, RG3 can do this, but he's still going to need help from the Defense like a pick six. I'd also like to see them come back out running their Turbo O. And better clock management  Geez.

 

Oh & to why they burned timeouts on 3rd Down, they started doing this on those drives:

 

Final Thoughts

 

The penalty right before the Morris TD may have been iffy, but I call it karma for the iffy ST call from the 1st half. Maybe one day we'll start scoring TDs again in the First Half. 

That said, the TD seemed to energize the Defense as Riley sacked Romo sits to pee on their 1st responding drive. Then continued to force a 3 & out.

 

The offense held the ball for 12:08 in the 3rd Qtr. They were rewarded with seven points for their efforts. ;They continued to get abused on the OL by Dallas street pickups. Ware didn't even play the 2nd half & they were STILL having issues. Offense started looking better in the second half, but they still look like they're all a bit off. Griffen showing us how to do Romoing with a pick in the endzone didn't help either. Threre's more then one problem with this team. It's not just a rookie secondary. It's not just bad Special Teams. Nor is it simply the knee. You see flashes, just not enough action on them to see them roll them together into moving forward, out of this funk they seem to have been in all year.

 

If they want to save this season, they'd better figure it out. And do it fastlike. Hell, they've already wasted the Bye.

This game is basically the season for us I think. Not to say it would be impossible for us to rebound if we lose, because there is a lot of season left, but just from a momentum and division standings perspective.

If we win, we're 2-3, with a 1-1 record in the NFC East. Dallas is 2-4 and suddenly struggling. You know how quickly that team folds at the first sign of adversity.

If we lose, we're 1-4 with a 0-2 record in the division. 2 games back of Dallas at 3-3. It's not impossible to overcome that, but I don't want to give Dallas any momentum at this point in the season, because we would really struggle to keep pace with them and make up that ground.

Season is on the line. Division arch-rival Dallas, in their building. Primetime, national audience. Time to bring the pain, make Romo sits to pee our **** on defense and have Griffin light up that puny Cowpukes secondary all night long.

For what it's worth, I saw Collinsworth in the Sports Club earlier. I've never seen a dude doing cardio & not break a sweat. Creepy.

 Chris seems to be pretty disliked here, but  I've always liked him as a player and usually he's fine with me as a talking head other than when he goes Cowboy homer.

Am I the only one that's a little upset that the game is on late with season premier of The Walking Dead?

HTTR

 No, I am like you on this and admit that TV has become too large in my life.  :lol:

Honestly he just seems creepy. I will give him credit that he has changed alot from his days on HBO's football program(1st and 10 think that was the name) years ago. He was a total ass on that program. He seems to have to become alot more humble with his opinions.

So Babs' camera worked fine last night until he pulled the memory card out. We're at a BestBuy where we just found out the new card isn't reading either. Babs went to buy a new camera body. Turns out they won't sell just the body so we're off to Fries.

The first turning point of this season.  In RG3's early career, he has proven to show up in these type of do or die games.  

 

Yeah I'm hoping the bye worked wonders for him, and he built on the week to week improvement that we were seeing. The offense is going to have to show up big in the first half tonight.

 

BTW, I really hate late starts, especially after we didn't play last week, and had a 4pm start the week before that.

This feels like Week One 2012 & I bet the team comes out with that same mindset. We played a team with a beast of an Offense but a horrible Defense (2012 Saints/2013 Cowboys) We just out pointed them. Add to that,

 

1. RGIII has gotten his 4 'preseason' games of work in and is healthier than he was in week one, of this season

2. No current injuries and we're 100% finally (Jarvis Jenkins/Rob "Action" Jackson)

 

I think we see that exact score again

 

Skins 40 

Cowboys 32
