2/12 for 19 yards. Add a pick and a fumble and you might have the worst half of football from a Washington QB in history. 

How fast we forget Tim Hasselbeck.

One of the saddest things about us no-showing for big games like the one today is that this makes it ten times harder to turn the page on fans being fed-up and no-showing themselves.  

 

You simply cannot instill fan confidence and turn around an organization with good intentions - you have to show up and back up those intentions with action. 

 

The only thing accomplished today (if the team doesn't turn things around in the second half) is the organization digging the hole that much deeper in terms of the on-field relationship with fans.  Trust has to be earned by doing the right thing again and again, etc.  

 

This game right here only serves to reinforce 1. the lack of faith that the majority of the fanbase has in the team.   2. The apathy that has set in.

 

I was born in 1975.  Been a Skins fan for 40 years.  Seen a lot of games in RFK, grew up during the GIBBS I era, etc.  I remember what Camelot was like.  It is possible to get that back.  It is.  But, honestly, tragically, there's not a bone in my body or fiber in my entire being that believes we will ever even get so much as a glimpse of it while Dan is the owner.

Scott Turner did a really poor job with the play calling.  I understand he feels the need to keep his RB in to block but there should be some block and release plays in there. Expecting Heinicke to sit in the pocket and thread balls in 20 yards downfield is stupid. Need more screens, misdirections, etc.

I would put in Allen in if Heinicke doesn't have a good series coming out of the half, just something to get a spark.  Getting beat is one thing but getting embarrassed in front of a full house of fans is another, would hate to see the team lose its confidence and fall apart in these last 4 games.

 

 

allen is going to do anything. We have no receivers who can get open one on one. We have to keep guys in to protect and the Dallas d is just feasting on the predictability.

people talk about how you can't talk about the officials being to blame, but as far as I'm concerned whenever we have a bad game they always goout of their way to make it worse.  "Oh, Washington is sucking today, so that means that good play couldn't have happened.  Time to call it back"

 

yeah, we've playedd bad.  They're making it worse

lol. I can’t with this stuff. Do you think part of playing badly is being undisciplined maybe? You don’t get benefit of the doubt when you’re bad and sloppy and getting frustrated and more sloppy bc you’re getting killed. Plenty of bad calls across the league. Yes, including against us.

WTF do you even tell your players with a half like that?

You give the David and Goliath speech, again.  They must have not been paying attention last time.

McLaurin deserves better than this mess of an offense 

How can we stop being a mess if we get rid of or lose the parts of the offense that's not a mess?

 

We will and need to keep adding, keep learning and gain a whole lot of some health luck.

Tell me again how this defense has played well today? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

 

They've been pretty up and down, though they have managed to hold Dallas to FGs on 3 drives when they were in the red zone. Dallas offense has 3 FGs and 1 TD. That along with Dallas dropping 2 additonal interceptions means this game could have been even worse than it is now. Which is really pathetic.

Cowboys are bad.

 

If WFT was playing a good team, they'd be behind 40-0.

We played 3 good teams, and I don't include Seattle in that.  And we won. But we won by controlling the LOS on both sides of the ball.  The O line is getting killed. Antonio Gibson is getting swallowed up.  Heinike does not play well without a run game and without decent protection. It is all lacking. You can see that the Dallas cowboys plan is shut down the run game, force him to throw, and put massive pressure on him and we win.

 

The sad part is that Dak is not playing that great. He has thrown 1 INT and two others that should have been picked. But their D is dominating our O line.

Hell, Brunell vs. Tampa was almost as bad. But at least he was gimpy by the 2005 playoffs (and Gibbs mistakenly went with him.  To the tune of 41 yards passing, a pick and under 50 percent completion percentage)

[Chump Bailey]

Listening to the game on 980. Damn, did not see such a beatdown and the team folding like this. This is bad, bad, bad. Take out TH and perhaps give the O a spark.

TH is 2 for 12. I know it's not ALL on him, but maybe give Allen a shot in the 2nd half. TH is going to try forcing things to make a comeback. He's already made enough questionable throws.  

He's made some really awful decisions and throws into double n triple coverage.

The Raiders at least have 3 points...

Looks like we broke the Raiders.

Heard a bit of boos, but not enough

It was the Cowboys fans who wanted Dak to go for it on 4th and 15 instead of kick that FG

Totally agree. I am not a fan of Turner. I think he’s at best mediocre. Today is getting completely outclassed and will have no answers in the second half. 

[Est.1974]

Well that was ugly. Probably could have been much worse.

Why would you expect boos in a Cowboys crowd?

 

Too true.  Need a smaller stadium, and stop jacking up prices for game like this.

Pretend it’s 0-0 and just play ball.

Yeah I'm putting most of this on our offense.  We're atrocious there.

Agree.  I put most of it on our gameplan coming in.  Dallas has clearly planned on stacking the line to shut the run down and blitz a lot.  Perfect against our line.  They can't hold up against the pressure.  Would have hoped that Turner would have come in with a better plan instead of the same plan he has had for weeks.  Dallas game planned against our strengths the last few weeks and we did nothing to change it up.  Now it may be too late to do anything about it.

At least John Beck helped Roy Helu set a team record.
