hR Official Game Thread: Redskins @ Cowboys

[Lou2144]

Roy Helu anyone?

[jaylen]

come on get it in get it in get it in.

[Goskins11]

come on timmy

[yossarian]

why do redskins players keep slipping?

also, fred Davis is going to get a dumb-ass bone-headed penalty if he keeps talking too much crap with the dallas players--plus he just cost the skins a time out due to the play clock. ugh.

[Lavar703]

I would really like to see Helu get some carries.

[jaylen]

time to get Helu in there.

[BigCountry]

And there goes another RZ chance. This is how you lose games.

[jaylen]

Really we're gonna do this with the play calling seriously. again this week.

[Irish Redskin]

Sweet Jesus Rex...

[Patrick]

Come on - let's get creative.

[Goskins11]

time to get Helu in there.

i think so too. why aren't they doing any screens?

[Lou2144]

And there goes another RZ chance. This is how you lose games.

Yup

[yossarian]

i don't know whose fault it is but man we have issues in the red zone. we're not going to beat dallas in dallas with FGs.

Rexy was lucky that wasn't 6 the other way.

[Lavar703]

Kyle Shanahan has no creativity whatsoever in the red zone.

[jaylen]

Terrible play calling just terrible.

Ratliff owned Monty. once again a f up.

[shally]

huge missed opportunity

need td's

[cal_junior]

Really we're gonna do this with the play calling seriously. again this week.

Playcalling was the problem there?

[Goskins11]

6 to 3. that didn't hurt them much,

[BigCountry]

Come on - let's get creative.

Bootlegs or routes designed for the back of the endzone aren't creative. Just fundemental parts of redzone offense that everyone uses but us.

[DaveKShape]

we are so anemic in the RZ

[WinnpegSkinsFan]

God, the Skins have to get 7 with that kind of field position.

[Lou2144]

Not 1 finger has been laid on Romo!!

[The Rex Machine]

FG is good, but a touchdown would be better.

[jaylen]

Dallas will pop a couple big plays for scores we aren't even challenging the Cowboys downfield yet.

[DaveKShape]

we aren't going to win by playing this soft.

[VegasSkinsFan]

Gonna need the d to keep forcing turnovers.

[VegasSkinsFan]

Field must be wet, dallas rb just slipped

[KMDeMuth]

Glad to see pre-season Gano tonight. 2-2 and placing kicks where he wants them.

[shally]

end of quarter...

Cowboys cant run ball. +
Redskins arent much better -

[Goskins11]

Glad to see pre-season Gano tonight. 2-2 and placing kicks where he wants them.
agreed but this team needs tds

[jaylen]

I think like in the Gibbs era in the Redzone Mike gets involved in the play calling or something because the offense takes on a very protective turn down there.

[shally]

Gonna need the d to keep forcing turnovers.
yup.. pressure pressure pressure

[shally]

agreed but this team needs tds

+1 we could be one missed kick from losing

[jaylen]

Josh almost had it.

[VegasSkinsFan]

nice play by wilson

[RedskinsDave]

Carlos Rogers liked that play.

[Goskins11]

almost picked.

[shally]

almost a great pick by Wilson

[jaylen]

when Rak gets a te over him he's gotta bullrush not take it wide.

good pressure there.

[VegasSkinsFan]

a few hits on romo and he will start making mistakes

[Lavar703]

This is normally when the D gives up a long pass for a first down and gets the crowd and the Boys back in it.

[Goskins11]

come on defense. would love to get the ball back here.

[jaylen]

Carlos Rogers liked that play.

Carlos got a pick yesterday on a good catch lol incredible. our secondary has none so far this season.

[cal_junior]

Carlos Rogers liked that play.

If Carlos just dropped ones like that nobody would have had a problem . . .

[Goskins11]

This is normally when the D gives up a long pass for a first down and gets the crowd and the Boys back in it.

yeah that sounds about right... but hopefully they can stop them here.

[Emmanouel8]

Still no consistent redzon offense. I think the interior line is getting blown up.the LBs are free to run and attack. Definitely something to upgrade next season, we'll just have to deal with what we have no. Settling for FGs with field position like that is difficult to stomach

[jaylen]

great stop by Rocky.

[DaveKShape]

banks hasn't looked the same this season.

[BigCountry]

Banks has to cut his losses and get what he can there.

[jaylen]

wow great punt.

[cal_junior]

Jesus. I thought our punter was good

[Goskins11]

banks hasn't looked the same this season.

no he looked good in the arizona game but not tonight.

[DaveKShape]

bad rex is here.

[RedskinsDave]

There wasn't anyone near that pass in burgundy. You suck Rex.

[KMDeMuth]

seriously, we wanted no bad rex tonight...c'mon!

[jaylen]

Bad Rex horrible throw.

[VegasSkinsFan]

Bad rex

[Emmanouel8]

Bad Rex. 4 white jerseys where he threw.

[Goskins11]

bad rex.

[yossarian]

oh...hai crappy rex. i'm not happy you're here. this could get very unpleasent.

[WinnpegSkinsFan]

What were you seeing there Rexy????

[jaylen]

that was just a dumb dumb pass by rex just terrible

[Goskins11]

is this where the game turns and dallas controls us?

[VegasSkinsFan]

great stop right there !!!!

[Irish Redskin]

Wow GREAT defence.

[jaylen]

great push by the d line great great play.

[VegasSkinsFan]

Since halftime of game 1, Rocky has probably played his best football

[Goskins11]

damn the defense saved him there. i'm loving the d

[RedskinsDave]

If the offense can do something, the D is going to hold Dallas unless they put in Kitna.

[Lavar703]

The D bailed Rex out big time.

[shally]

big defensive stand after terrible throw by Rex

late down middle to Davis

[The Rex Machine]

HUGE from the defense there.

[Emmanouel8]

Give Haslett some credit, I thought they filled the roster with square pegs and it turns out the holes are square. Exceeding my expectations.

[BigCountry]

Kyle Shanahan has to get his head out of his rear end. That INT was on Rex but you're not doing him any favors by going empty backfield with two tight ends and one wide receiver. He had 3 targets and the Cowboys had about 6 or 7 guys in covarege. That's not putting your players in a position to be succesful.

[jaylen]

Rex I swear has blind spots in his vision because he throws some of the worst picks I have ever seen picks where he doesn't even see the defenders in his view.

not sure how a qb throws so many bad easy picks to opponents.

[Goskins11]

Since halftime of game 1, Rocky has probably played his best football

i agree. i was really down on him to when they signed him. I wanted riley to play but i'm digging rock right now.

[cal_junior]

Dallas' O-Line is in for a long night. As long as Sexy doesn't give the game away we might just win this thing.

[JRudy]

trying to listen to the game on Tunein radio app on ESPN980. They're a about a minute behind, you guys are killing me leaking the play results before I hear them, lol. :sfight:

[jaylen]

Kyle Shanahan has to get his head out of his rear end. That INT was on Rex but you're not doing him any favors by going empty backfield with two tight ends and one wide receiver. He had 3 targets and the Cowboys had about 6 or 7 guys in covarege. That's not putting your players in a position to be succesful.

+1 I think he's called this game so far with a fear of the Cowboys pass rush in his head.

[BigCountry]

Don't see how we move the ball here little Shanny has been outmatched so far.

[jaylen]

good play to Gaffney.

[VegasSkinsFan]

And then rex throws a decent one to gaffney

[VegasSkinsFan]

I feel that rex puts no body into the throw, its all arm action??

[jaylen]

why is the ground slippery.

[BigCountry]

Throw a screen

[SkinsfaninNJ]

Rex looks really uncomfortable jumping around in the pocket. The protection has been good.

I would consider trying to change the pace with no huddle to get Rex comfortable.

[cal_junior]

Apparently Tirico talked to Tim Hightower before the game. Cool.

[Goskins11]

shoot. i don't like third and long.

[DaveKShape]

great drive.

[BigCountry]

Bad route should have sold it upfield more.

[VegasSkinsFan]

Throw a screen

+1

[cal_junior]

why is the ground slippery.

Our RBs have been slipping all night. Not sure what's going on

[Goskins11]

why would you throw that short there though?

[WinnpegSkinsFan]

That was not PI on Jenkins. Rex has to choose his targets better.

[KMDeMuth]

why is rob ryan on the field talking crap after plays... those 2 brothers are tools

[shally]

absolutely no creativity in calls.. where are screens ?

[jaylen]

Jenkins jumped that route inside good defense there. Either gaffney gave away the route or Jenkins read the formation.

Our offense looks very stale. playing for protection not winning outside.

[Goskins11]

we are putting a lot of pressure on the defense.

[VegasSkinsFan]

why is rob ryan on the field talking crap after plays... those 2 brothers are tools

Keep his grizzly adams ass off the field, maybe LL can take him out :)

[Lavar703]

absolutely no creativity in calls.. where are screens ?

It's horrible. Give Rex a chance Kyle, damn!

[SkinsfaninNJ]

absolutely no creativity in calls.. where are screens ?

+1. Ryan is outcoaching Kyle so far.

[VegasSkinsFan]

wilson playing good

[jaylen]

Josh Wilson is playing tight coverage so far tonight.

[Emmanouel8]

What is up with the footing. Our RBs keep slipping

[jaylen]

Big 3rd down here.

[VegasSkinsFan]

repeat from earlier...i LOVE seeing LL !!!!!

[jaylen]

Dirty Dirty, Dirty.

[DaveKShape]

love that landry boom!

[SkinsfaninNJ]

Glad Landry is back.

But Doughty makes that play, right?

[yossarian]

holy DANG! Landry just brought the whole wood pile!

[jaylen]

Oh my Dirty.

Landry is back folks wow.

[WinnpegSkinsFan]

Landry just destroyed Robinson.

[Lavar703]

Sean Taylor-esque. Ouch!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[RedskinsDave]

I hope they have new shoes to change into at the half.

[VegasSkinsFan]

Dallas should be ashamed of the field condition...someone is gonna tear a knee or hamstring.

[DaveKShape]

But Doughty makes that play, right?

yeah, doughty could definitely make that play. we should trade landry for whatever we can get.

[Goskins11]

holy crap. doughty couldn't have done that.

[VegasSkinsFan]

yeah, doughty could definitely make that play. we should trade landry for whatever we can get.

RD would still be chasing him

[BigCountry]

Did the Redskins grease their own cleats?

[yossarian]

what is with this field?! helu slips at the end of a long run.

[jaylen]

slipping all over the place.

[KMDeMuth]

Dallas should be ashamed of the field condition...someone is gonna tear a knee or hamstring.
Did they wet the field down or something? WTF?

should they switch to grass cleats at half? seriously...

[VegasSkinsFan]

another damn slip

[SkinsfaninNJ]

I hope they have new shoes to change into at the half.

Absolutely. This is getting crazy.

[Goskins11]

first down. wow no one can keep from slipping

[jaylen]

Bout time we get to Fred.

great play there.

[Goskins11]

yes. touchdown here please.

[Lavar703]

I really like Rex for some reason but I can't wait til we get a QB who puts some zip on the ball. We should be getting our new QB this draft.

[VegasSkinsFan]

Bout time we get to Fred.

great play there.

Nice pass, FD didnt seem like he had to slow down for it.

[VegasSkinsFan]

I really like Rex for some reason but I can't wait til we get a QB who puts some zip on the ball. We should be getting our new QB this draft.

I like him too, i just wish he was better.

[cal_junior]

yes. touchdown here please.

We'd already have one if Jerruh's field wasn't such a POS

[Goskins11]

we have a top ten defense with landry back there. He totally changes the dynamic.

[jaylen]

I tell you who ain't slipping.

LL he's bringing the Heat.

[VegasSkinsFan]

With Jenkins out of the secondary...tear it apart rex

[SkinsfaninNJ]

Big third here.

[jaylen]

Helu has great hands.

[VegasSkinsFan]

So far, TW is holding his own with ware except for that last play

[Goskins11]

helu is nice. he almost broke that.

[cal_junior]

Aaand a WR slips

[Goskins11]

come on. another field goal attempt?

[cal_junior]

Gotta put that down, Keerist

[SkinsfaninNJ]

You've got to be kidding me.

[DaveKShape]

the field must be super-wet.

[jaylen]

wow the botched fg.

incredible.

[RedskinsDave]

This is what happens when the play calling gets so crappy that we have to try field goals with a horrible special teams.

[yossarian]

wow. great job there for the FG unit. That torrential downpoar in the dome there is really affecting footing and gripping of the ball.

yuck.

[Goskins11]

haha i could've called that.

[The Rex Machine]

Romo hasn't played all that well so far. Let's hope that doesn't give them momentum

[jaylen]

Just gave the cowboys all the momentum.

[VegasSkinsFan]

Hall with the slip

[sknz2856]

Here's where Dallas takes advantage and drives down the field...Why are Redskin games so predictable?

[RedskinsDave]

Change the goddam shoes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[jaylen]

slippery when wet. we slip again.

[KMDeMuth]

SERIOUSLY WTF?! every other damn play a Redskins player is sliding on this field....what the hell is going on!?

[yossarian]

seriously...they'd better be wearing some new GD cleats when they come out after the half.

[Goskins11]

games turning on them.

[DaveKShape]

this aint good.

[jaylen]

we are just giving the Cowboys the damn game.

[jaylen]

Whitten is gonna get us here I can feel it coming

[BigCountry]

Feels like the 2008 Steelers game.

[SkinsfaninNJ]

Come on now. Jump on this.

[Goskins11]

i'm worried

[RedskinsDave]

Two weeks in a row we dominate a team and the offense can't score and the special teams takes a dump.

[VegasSkinsFan]

great play LF

[yossarian]

hell yeah fletch! hell of a tackle on Dez.

[jaylen]

great play by Fletch.

[DaveKShape]

gotta love london fletcher's determination. why was orakpo hopping like that? he got caught off guard.

[SkinsfaninNJ]

Big play by London. Now make a stop.

[Goskins11]

good hit london.

[VegasSkinsFan]

i'm worried

I'll hold my worrying until 1 minute left in the game

[RedskinsDave]

Why is Kyle Shanahan calling plays for Dallas too?

[cal_junior]

Field conditions + Cowboys 9 - Redskins 6.

We should be up by 10 points right now.

[VegasSkinsFan]

Why is Kyle Shanahan calling plays for Dallas too?

hah

[Goskins11]

hell yeah rocky! Come on..it's our turn to block one

[WinnpegSkinsFan]

OK can we just stop with the "sky is falling" talk until the Skins actually FU. The defence did another fine job there.

[SkinsfaninNJ]

Rex in the two minute offense could be a good thing.

[sknz2856]

I wish we could kick FG's and make them.

[VegasSkinsFan]

Field conditions + Cowboys 9 - Redskins 6.

We should be up by 10 points right now.

Makes you think the wet the field and had cleats ready for it, but i did see a puke player or 2 slip

[jaylen]

forced the stop we are down 3.

just a crappy half of ball.

I think coaching has been an issue here and special teams is gonna drive me crazy with the bs up and down play.

[Goskins11]

come on banks!

[BigCountry]

How about Brandon Banks show up to the game here?

[VegasSkinsFan]

OK can we just stop with the "sky is falling" talk until the Skins actually FU. The defence did another fine job there.

AMEN !!!!!

[BigCountry]

Or not.

[VegasSkinsFan]

How about Brandon Banks show up to the game here?

maybe on the next one :smash:

[jaylen]

Rex is good in the 2 minute maybe this works for us.

[KMDeMuth]

when special teams sucks....special teams sucks... quit it!

[VegasSkinsFan]

liked that play

[cal_junior]

Another terrible play-call.

[BigCountry]

Should have called that screen in the redzone.

[SkinsfaninNJ]

Who was asking for the screen?

Nice call.

[Goskins11]

good play there.

[VegasSkinsFan]

Another terrible play-call.

??? looked like it gained 15 to me

[shally]

finally a screen

let's get something before half

[jaylen]

we gotta take our chances in the 2nd half Trent doesn't look overmatched against Ware we gotta start risking it and having muliple wr sets to open things up some.

[cal_junior]

??? looked like it gained 15 to me

Did we score a TD? Nope. Terrible

[Goskins11]

we need a touchdown. I do not trust our kicking game at all.

[JRudy]

I had a feeling we would smack the crap out of the turds tonight, guess I was wrong.

[VegasSkinsFan]

Did we score a TD? Nope. Terrible

well you are going to have a shitty season then

[SkinsfaninNJ]

I feel like Hightower is leaving yards on the field. Anyone else feel that way?

[CNYSkinFan]

this time management is joe gibbsesque lol

[Goskins11]

yuck

[RedskinsDave]

Nice play calls guys. Pure genius.

[cal_junior]

Sure glad we burned that TO on second down in the red zone. Sigh

[jaylen]

why not play Helu in the 2 minute he'd run those delays better than Hightower.

come on coach.

[Goskins11]

come on hightower.

[DaveKShape]

grossman looks so scared from the pass rush.

[VegasSkinsFan]

rex with the wheels haha

[Irish Redskin]

I feel like Hightower is leaving yards on the field. Anyone else feel that way?

Yeah I said that earlier. He doesn't seem to make anybody miss.

[jaylen]

if grossman just takes off he might have gotten more yards.

[CNYSkinFan]

ok i have never seen a qb looking behind on a run like that before

[Goskins11]

i almost pissed my pants there.

[Irish Redskin]

Good stuff from Rex and Moss to the sideline.

[yossarian]

wow. great throw from rexy to moss there. really nice.

[jaylen]

Good Rex there. great play to Moss.

[VegasSkinsFan]

ok i have never seen a qb looking behind on a run like that before

that what makes him unique...nice toss to moss though

[VegasSkinsFan]

i feel a play to austin coming up

[DaveKShape]

their hurry up offense is so slow.

[CNYSkinFan]

here we go...fg range!

[cal_junior]

ok i have never seen a qb looking behind on a run like that before

You should have watched last night's game. Big Ben did the exact same thing looking for Freeney. He ended up getting drilled in the chest because of it

[Irish Redskin]

if grossman just takes off he might have gotten more yards.

He had to get out of bounds though.

[yossarian]

perfect. take the sack. nicely done.

[CNYSkinFan]

here we go...fg range!
ooops nevermind

[SkinsfaninNJ]

That was a terrible exchange. Who went out of the game?

[WinnpegSkinsFan]

Grossman you can't take a sack there!!!!

[jaylen]

this was very sloppy.

[cal_junior]

Gano. Money

[VegasSkinsFan]

50 yd fg..nice kick GG

[yossarian]

why the heck are they doing personnel changes in a "hurry up" offense?

nice job on the 50 yarder though. 9-9 going into the half.

[RedskinsDave]

Well it beats losing at the half. I hope we adjust well like the prior two weeks.

[shally]

big time kick by Gano 50 yarder

9- 9

[CNYSkinFan]

ooops nevermind
you can't stop Gano ...you can only hope to block a kick he drilled too low

[jaylen]

great kick there by Gano we again have squandered opportunities in this 1st half.

[Goskins11]

yes!!! Wow. it's a close one.

[cal_junior]

big time kick by Gano 50 yarder


He's only missed one all year. Who knows how good he might be this year if we can put it down and block for him

[VegasSkinsFan]

you can't stop Gano ...you can only hope to block a kick he drilled too low

haha...but at least the block wasnt on him

[jaylen]

Gano looks poised. he surely takes his time almost too much it seems we gotta start blocking better on our fg attempts or it could hurt us bad in a tight spot at the end of a game. we're clearly vulnerable somewhere on that line.

[Gravy]

What is wrong with our red zone play calling...I know we have Rex...I am

tired of FGs or blocked ones at that, C'mon Kyle

[KMDeMuth]

Gano. Money
good Gano is very appreciated tonight!

-2 bad Barnes* plays, 1 he gets saved.
-Banks is lacking any explosion tonight, girls' kicker isn't helping him any. Also a few stupid decisions.
-a few bad decisions by Rex, could be more then 1 turnover. Defense bailed him out holding girls' to 3.
-Hightower not breaking off 1st contact like usual.
-equipment manager/whoever is in-charge of cleats for field conditions, needs a swift kick in the... unless the girls' did something after the teams left the field before kickoff...
-Kyle is irritating with RZ play calling and 2nd quarter play calling.

-Trent Williams is playing great, besides 1 ware spin-sack inside.
-Hightower is blocking great.
-Cooley being used as a HB again worked out well.
-Davis is clutch.
-Rex has made a few clutch throws
-Gano is "on" tonight.
-Landry is a beast, always forget what you have 'till its gone.

[BIGREDSKINSFAN1963]

Gruden is probably wacking off to game film of Romo since he is just so in love with him!my 14 year old son is even picking up on gruden's puppy love chit chat!

[taylor21forever]

Big field goal there at the end, all tied up! Time for some halftime adjustments!

HAIL REDSKINS!!!

[Irish Redskin]

We're still very much in this, and one big play either way will probably win it.

Notice teams aren't blitzing on Rex as often? Despite his reputation, it appears the stats show he performs better when being blitzed.

[JRudy]

I'm surprised Romo has made it to halftime. I'm listening on the radio, is he getting hit at all? it sounds like our defense is playing well, but I'd like to have them get some hits on El' Douchebag.

[Ibleedburgundy]

All I want for Christmas is a red zone offense.

[Ibleedburgundy]

I'm surprised Romo has made it to halftime. I'm listening on the radio, is he getting hit at all? it sounds like our defense is playing well, but I'd like to have them get some hits on El' Douchebag.

He has not been hit much, but their guys also aren't getting open at all.

[Goskins11]

espn is just redicilous today.

[cal_junior]

I'm surprised Romo has made it to halftime. I'm listening on the radio, is he getting hit at all? it sounds like our defense is playing well, but I'd like to have them get some hits on El' Douchebag.

The Cowboys aren't letting him sit back there for anything downfield. Lots of quick-hitting stuff.

We're winning the battle up front.

[jaylen]

Carriker with the sack.

[Irish Redskin]

Kerrigan strips the ball despite being held! Good hustle.

[VegasSkinsFan]

I have never seen a qb drop a ball and have it bounce right back into his hands like romo

[Lavar703]

Why the eff is Doughty in the game?
