I really hope we ****ing demolish them. The bench thing is hilarious hubris, this locker room needs to be revved up but play smart football…a fine line to balance with this many injuries 

Saw a tweet from Todd Archer that the Cowboys reportedly flew in their benches because the heated ones provided for the Seahawks on MNF kept going out.

Its weird because on the ESPN NFL Countdown they said the Cowboys got word that the seats weren't heated last week.  WFT didn't have a home game last week?

Cowboys are soft if they need heated benches in 50 degree weather.

IMO, an underrated factor/concern with McKissick out is losing his pass pro.

Absolutely true. I bet Bates plays at least 80% of offensive snaps today.

Seahawks apparently complained about their benches when they played here on MNF

Heated benches? I thought that's what the bottom of the roster players were for.

They probably meant our last home game which was against Seattle on MNF. 
 

however that’s such a BS excuse 😂

Yeah, that’s going to be an interesting one with RSJ back.  With the need to run the ball, utilize PA, and TH excelling at/relying more on short stuff and the middle of the field, I could see a heavy dose of 2 TE sets.

Should’ve complained about their inability to get two points to tie the game

Yeah I mean nobody here will be surprised that it’s all really about something at FedEx Field not working correctly lol, but it’s still spitting in our general direction. I hope the players take casual notice during warmups and just add it to the list.

Would love to see this be his breakout game. He’s never going to be any sort of athletic dynamo at the position, but short passes around the sticks and PA chunks down the seam? He can do that and grow into an excellent #2 TE who not only blocks well but has to be accounted for in the passing game.

NFL Countdown just said Pollard is inactive now

 The only advantage that Dallass has is the WFT secondary.

They will prob load the field with 4 WR sets most of the game to keep the heat off Dak.  WFT DC has to drill into the secondarys' minds to just do their job, don't look to be a hero.

 

If that happens, all should be ok.

[RichmondRedskin88]

If we win spray paint those benches with the score and ship them to Dallas

When: Sunday December 12th High Noon

Where: FedEx Field

 

For you yung-uns out there, this is what rivalry football is all about.

This Sunday the WFT welcomes in the Dallas Cowboys for a renewed rivalry game, a game that will be the strongest test this year, for a few reasons.

1. A victory would prove to all that the WFT is for real. A loss will not be the end-all but will do some emotional damage in this chess game called division winner.

2. A potent offense as well as a pretty good defense will be a challenge to the WFT secondary. Can they handle it?

 

The Cowboys are 8-4 and the WFT is 6-6.

Dallas leads the all time head-to-head 73-47-2. The 2 ties actually happened way back in 61 & 62, and I doubt there will be a tie in this game. The Redskins own the Cowboys in playoff games, and one never knows what may transpire at the end of the season, they coyuld very well end up playing each other once more. 

 WFT is 2-3 in the last 5, the 2 wins coming off a sweep last year against Dallas.

 

The Cowboys are coming off an extended time off after beating the Saints in New Orleans 27-17, not a dominating game by Dallas and the Saints were injury-riddled, but hey a game is a game.

The Cowboys are ranked 3rd in total offense and 10th in total defense. I guess it helps to play against beat up teams not going anywhere, but make no

bones about it, Dak Prescott, Ezekiel Elliott, Lamb, Gallup and the rest of the receiving corp are a formidable group but Pollard is the one that makes me a little nervous.

The Saints held their own for the first half but just couldn't keep up the pace in the 2nd half, as the Dallas defense clamped down on the Saints.

 

The Cowboys are well rested and i'm sure every one of them watched the WFT/Raiders game, and scratched their heads in disbelief at how McCain got away with the no-call late in the game which all but sealed it up for Washington.

 

So, this past Sunday the WFT traveled out to VEGAS BABY, and pulled off a win against a scrappy Raiders team.

Taylor Heinicke keeps on doing it week after week, making some spectacular plays and a head scratcher or 2, but thats his modus operandi. { M.O. }, but once again leading a drive with little time left to get into FG range for our 4th kicker to nail the eventual game winner.

Seeing Logan Thomas back, making a spectacular one-handed snag in the endzone for the first WFT score, but later in the game he ended up suffering a season-ending ACL/MCL tear, which is a huge blow to the offense.

Being without McKissic, it was Gibson providing the most on the ground, going 23-88 and protecting the ball, which he's been doing a good job of lately.

Defensively, it may not look pretty but they get the job done. Ioannidis, Allen and James smith Williams all getting to the Raiders QB.

The secondary did a pretty good job, but as it seems in every game, there's always a WR so wide open it makes me wonder how this can still be happening. Late in the game, McCain got away with an almost sure DPI or holding call but the ref kept the flag in his pocket, as I sat there waiting for the ref to make up his mind to throw it super late, but it never did happen. Whew! 

 

So, this is what the best rivalry in pro football looks like. both teams doing ok, fighting for postseason play and/or playoff position.

Washington vs Dallas.  It doesn't get any better than this. Both teams hate each other, and they both seem to bring their game up a notch when playing each other, and i'm sure it will be the Fox Game of the Week, so we all get to be blessed with the cowboy fanboys Troy Aikman and Joe Buck { barf }. A WFT win against the Cowboys with these 2 asshats announcing the game makes a victory that much sweeter.

A WFT win will not put them in the NFC East lead but it will bring them within a game with a handful of games left to go, and with the NFL anything can happen.

 

Look for a hard fought game, look for some big plays on both sides by both teams, they never seem to disappoint. 

Will the Cowboy offense be too much for the DC to handle?

Will Heinicke continue his 'never give up' mentality?

Will the Dallas defense shut down the WFT offense?

Will the WFT defense be too much for Dak to manage?

All of these questions and more will be answered by 3 p.m. this Sunday.

 

When the dust settles and the spurs fall to the ground,

this might be the game where the WFT comes up short. { i've been going against them for a few weeks now and they keep winning, so }

Final Score:

 WFT 19

Cowboys 27

 

First correct score prediction wins a nice Riggins or Cooley fan jersey.

Good luck, and lets get this thing done!

 

 

Hope you deliver to the UK buddy 😁

I think for our Redskins to win this week we will have to run the ball a lot and get close to 200 yards. Dallas will probably score at least 24 points, I'm hoping we can win but can't see us scoring more than 24 points. 

 

Us 20

Them 27

 

Gotta pay this man. Good job!

Pains me to say it, but I think Dallas just has too much for us.  

 

Cowboys - 27

WFT - 20

 

Can't get enough pressure on Dak.  Lamb has a good day, Parsons wrecks house.  

 

 Well well well, FINALLY somebody nailed the score!!!

Too bad it turned out this way, but you had a point, one team came out to play today.
