Savor it, but Beware the Redskins

by DavidH22 on Dec 20, 2009 11:36 AM CST

Washington has been playing very well as of late, and we'll see how they do against the Giants. I wouldn't be surprised if they beat New York.

We all recall how poorly the Cowboys played in their 7-6 squeaker a few weeks ago, and Dallas hasn't swept the Redskins since 2004.

Living here in DC, I can see clearly that the Redskins are not just playing out the string and waiting for the season to be over. On Monday it will be "Dallas Week" here, and they will like nothing better than to deal a crippling blow to the Cowboys' playoff hopes.

Jason Campbell is turning into a winner right before our eyes, and Brian Orakpo is developing into a All Pro defensive end. Don't eat the cheese!

I'll be at the game next Sunday night, along with my eight year-old boy. Let's see a thorough beatdown of our archrivals!

very true, Ill be the biggest skins fan Monday and their worst enemy Tuesday

If they beat the Giants and then Dallas beats Washington next sunday the boys clinch a wild card spot.

I remember going into the season telling my brother if the cowboys could sweep the redskins and at least split with the eagles and giants that would go a long way in making the playoffs. Well here they are with a chance to sweep the skins for possibly a playoff sport and beat the eagles for the division. That would make them 4-2 in the divsion.

All washington would like to do is spoil our season though. Im confident Dallas wont overlook them because A. The skins nearly beat them just 1 month ago and B. They know they still need to win to make the playoffs.

Hope you're right

I’m not holding my breath, right now the Boy’s are thinking they “Who Dat!”

Carrying that demeanor into Washington will get them their @sses handed to them.

fervently hope they prove me wrong though!!

You can never take anyone too lightly

Especially division games. I don’t even see this game as we are the better team, because anything can happen in a division rival game. I wanna give us the slight edge though because I believe this team is a different team from recent Cowboy’s teams, and I think we will fight our way into the playoffs.

I do think we'll have an advantage

having the extra day to prepare and they will be working on a short week.

I still expect a tight, hard fought game.

Not only do we have a long week, they have a short week

I forgot to mention

that the “resignation” of Vinnie Cerrato has gone over like gangbusters here in DC, there were reports of players laughing and smiling when they heard. Apparently they hated Cerrato. Maybe this could also maybe give the Redskins some sort of advantage.

I definitely agree with this...

If we overlook the Skins (meaning we lose), the Saints game will not only mean nothing, but the same questions about this team will resurface.

Thankfully, I think this definitely seems to be a different team from years past and a lot of them after the game seemed to know that they still had a ways to go. Plus, with the Saints game being on Saturday, I think the enthusiasm for the win will have an extra day to fade before they really start to work on the Skins. And lastly, let’s be honest, I think the Cowboys are going to be motivated to pound the Skins after barely beating them last year

If I had a nickel for every Super Bowl the Eagles have won, I would have zero nickels.

Saints game may not become meaningless.

The Knights season may have just ended, but the Cowboys year is just begining!

True...

I guess I was just saying that the impact of the Saints win would vanish and this team would once again open the door for December questions and the like.

fair enough

I see Coyboys losing both games and being eliminated

just like you saw your Saints killing us

like I said, you’re clueless

Hard to get it up for three games in a row

Just like your wife told you. You are only embarrassing yourself on your own blog. Now I remember why I hate the Cowboys so much. I tried to be friends with ya’ll be your to damn dumb to realize it.

by saint-sly on Dec 20, 2009 8:32 PM CST up reply actions

Haha

that a fact then is it? Oh wait, you predicted a Saints victory too.

The Eagles lost to the Saints (who we beat), they lost to the Raiders (who we beat) and they lost to us (who we are).

by aussie_cowboy on Dec 20, 2009 8:57 PM CST up reply actions

Yeah, and I was wrong......................

To make it right, I predict your cowgirls win out and maybe I’ll be wrong again.

by saint-sly on Dec 20, 2009 9:07 PM CST up reply actions

Maybe

but at least you’ll find more here who agree with you.

The Eagles lost to the Saints (who we beat), they lost to the Raiders (who we beat) and they lost to us (who we are).

Awwww....

Clearly our team hurt your feelings. When we said we wanted you to come back to our site after your trash-talking, we surely did not mean for you to come back and talk more ridiculous trash.

How about you go back to your site and discuss why your defense is no longer good (never really was) or why your left tackle played worse than Flozell? Or maybe, you could go talk about why Darren Sharper is starting to look old? Or if that doesn’t do it for you, maybe you could discuss Reggie Bush’s hamstring pull? Whatever you do though, we would all appreciate it if it wasn’t on this site. You have more than enough Saints questions to discuss on your site and your jealousy of the Cowboys is really getting old.

I did that and

Ya’ll kept coming to my side to get me. Well, Here I am

If we lose to Washington or Philly people will say the Saints lost not the Cowboys won....

by UTexan on Dec 20, 2009 9:23 PM CST up reply actions

Got that right

I believe that was the case

by saint-sly on Dec 20, 2009 9:24 PM CST up reply actions

Then you are right

The Saints did lose, and that was becuase they are not as good s the Boys.

The Eagles lost to the Saints (who we beat), they lost to the Raiders (who we beat) and they lost to us (who we are).

by aussie_cowboy on Dec 20, 2009 9:26 PM CST up reply actions

I agree the Boys have more talent but it is not always used correctly...

I think it was a combination of both though..A good team is a balanced team…Last night we balanced the hell out of the Saints though!!

*"last year" should be "earlier this year."

If I had a nickel for every Super Bowl the Eagles have won, I would have zero nickels.

by Cowboyfan729 on Dec 20, 2009 4:49 PM CST reply actions

Theres no way we overlook the skins

I mean…It’s a rivalry game. When these 2 teams get together it is not cliche to say"Throw the records out the window". It’s the cowboys vs. the indians…I think the saints game has renewed our focus.We know there’s no letting up from here on out. Every game will have a playoff atmosphere. We’ll be ready.

DAVIDH22 I’ll be at the Game next sunday as well….Let me know if you want to Tailgate!!!!
