[SkinsGuru]

Use this thread to discuss the game in action . . .

[SkinsGuru]

Is it just me?? or is today going by VERY SLOWLY?!?!?! . . . the last week actually . . .

[PennSkinsFan]

Very slowly. Still over an hour.

Polumbus is active and starting at RT

Redskins inactives are here. (http://www.dcprosportsreport.com/washington-redskins/redskins-inactives-v-cowboys.html) Actual surprise in there.

strange . . . wonder why??

[SkinsGuru]

i guess having a 3rd QB dressed just in case the first 2 get hurt could be big . . . but if that happens we are probably in big trouble anyway . . .

[Spence]

strange . . . wonder why??
I presume because they want Rex to run the 2-minute offense. :D

[Spence]

Redskins are wearing burgundy jerseys and gold pants.

[Spence]

RG3 wearing a sizable knee brace again

[SkinsGuru]

Game on!!!! LETS GO REDSKINS!!!

[oldschoolskins]

Finally...let's do this thing! Longest day ever--GO SKINS!!!!!

[Spence]

Skins win the toss and will receive. I prefer the ball in the second half, but whatever.

[oldschoolskins]

Love the grey in London's beard...one tough old fella there

[Spence]

Not much blocking on opening kickoff.

[Spence]

Cowboys crowding the line of scrimmage, like the Browns and Eagles.

[SkinsGuru]

3rd and long . . . gotta get more on 1st and 2nd than that!!

[Spence]

Another WR drop. Seen plenty of those this year. Ball right in Morgan's hands.

[Spence]

Pretty disastrous opening for the Redskins.

[SkinsGuru]

not a good start . . . just a big drop . . . hopefully they get the jitters under control . . . YIKES on that return!!

[PennSkinsFan]

Redskins never start well

[PennSkinsFan]

Thank you Richard Crawford

[SkinsGuru]

horrible pass . . . great job by the D to come up with the pick to get some momentum going the Skins way!! now the offense has to do something to get going here!!

[SkinsGuru]

thats the Alfred Morris i remember!!! Nice run!!!!!

[SkinsGuru]

and another!!

[SkinsGuru]

they are working hard to setup the play action . . . another first down and we'll see it!! . . . NICE run by RGIII!!

[PennSkinsFan]

Wheres Gano when you need him :)

[SkinsGuru]

well . . . he got the first miss out of the way . . . now we need him to shrug it off and get ready for the next one . . .

[PennSkinsFan]

2 time outs burned in the first quarter

[SkinsGuru]

too many time outs . . .

[SkinsGuru]

our 3rd down defense is HORRIBLE!!!

[SkinsGuru]

LOVE the picks though!!!! :)

[PennSkinsFan]

Loving Romo

[Spence]

Whaddaya know -- a WR caught a football thrown right to his hands.

[SkinsGuru]

Nice 1st down!!

[SkinsGuru]

jeesh . . . gotta throw that way out of bounds

[Spence]

Both teams look very tight. Bad sign the Skins wasting two turnovers.

[Spence]

Does not look like RG3 has the same burst tonight. Maybe that knee will warm up after a while, but he doesn't have the same burst right now.

[SkinsGuru]

well hopefully the D can hold here!! . . . the offense is out of sync . . .

[SkinsGuru]

Does not look like RG3 has the same burst tonight. Maybe that knee will warm up after a while, but he doesn't have the same burst right now.

i wonder how much that brace hinders him . . .

[Spence]

Alfred Morris needs 57 yards to pass Portis' Redskins single season rushing record. If you care.

[SkinsGuru]

Alfred Morris needs 57 yards to pass Portis' Redskins single season rushing record. If you care.

we need to feed him the ball when we get it back!! not for the record, but for this game!!

[PennSkinsFan]

Yeah I agree. That last drive we completely got away from Morris after such a successful ground attack the pervious drive. I do t get it.

[Spence]

Need to hold Cowboys to a FG. Romo isn't going to keep throwing interceptions

[SkinsGuru]

now keep gomez inactive looks really smart . . .

[Spence]

Cowboys should score a TD pretty easily here. Long drive, about 90 yards. Very impressive.

[Spence]

Great play by Doughty on that sweep. I love him against the run, but him and Pugh at safety against such a pass-happy offense? Gulp.

[SkinsGuru]

well . . . BiG 3rd down play here . . . NEED to hold them to a FG!!

[Spence]

Cowboys did not get the playoff in time. No pass rush by Redskins.

[Spence]

Great drive by Cowboys. Apart from two early Romo picks, they've looked like the vastly superior team.

[PennSkinsFan]

Bad missed call. redskins defense kind of stalled expecting a dead play.

[SkinsGuru]

Bad missed call. redskins defense kind of stalled expecting a dead play.

if you don't here the whistle, don't stop . . . no excuses!! the D was bad on that drive all around . . . the offense better get it going or this is going to be a LONG day . . .

[SkinsGuru]

what a catch (as long as it sticks :) ) by Paulsen

[Spence]

Alfred Morris is a grown-ass man

[SkinsGuru]

keep feeding him the ball!!!! NICE RUN!!!

[SkinsGuru]

hang on to that ball!!

[Spence]

Griffin definitely looks much slower on those option runs. He'd have taken that one for 20 yards or more.

[Spence]

Good drive so far. Need to finish with 7

[SkinsGuru]

NICE TD!!!!! MORRIS!!! KEEP feeding him the ball!!!!!

[Spence]

Alfred Morris is a grown-ass man!

[PennSkinsFan]

17 weeks and the Redskins secondary still struggling to cover.

[SkinsGuru]

Alfred Morris is a grown-ass man!

and a nice young one that we should be able to keep around for a while . . . hopefully he can stay away from the injury bug!! (already knocked on wood)

[Spence]

Morris has rookie record for TDs with 11

[Spence]

17 weeks and the Redskins secondary still struggling to cover.
Dude, we knew that was going to be a problem all year, particularly with no pass rush. Will probably be an issue next season, too.

[SkinsGuru]

they need to figure out a way to generate a pass rush . . .

[SkinsGuru]

nice hit on Romo!!

[SkinsGuru]

good job by the D to step up there . . .

[Spence]

Great stand by the defense, there

[SkinsGuru]

i'm shocked they didn't try to kick it . . .

[SkinsGuru]

not sure i like the conservative approach . . . oh well . . . so who foresaw a 7 - 7 tie at halftime??

[Spence]

Crap. Who predicted a low-scoring game? Not me.

[SkinsGuru]

so Kyle needs to change the game play a bit . . . keep running the ball . . . but do something different with the routes as nobody was getting open and that's unusual . . .

[SkinsGuru]

another BIG 3rd down play here . . . come on D!!

[SkinsGuru]

GREAT pressure there!!! Great hold by the D!!!

[PennSkinsFan]

Lets see if there are any Kyle Shanahan adjustments in the passing game. Pierre Garçon had no receptions in the first half. Have to get him involved.

[SkinsGuru]

COME ON!!! you cannot drop that!!!

[PennSkinsFan]

Haven't seen any deep shots yet.

[SkinsGuru]

The D stepped up again!! . . . NOW the offense has to get it going!!

[SkinsGuru]

Congrats to Morris on the new record!! . . . Hopefully Lichty is ok!!

[Seafin77]

It's obvious Griffin isn't himself but can we try throwing deep?

[Spence]

A Redskins WR caught a pass. Let's have a two minute silence

[SkinsGuru]

Nice run by Garcon!!!

[SkinsGuru]

Nice run by rgiii !! Rgiii !! Rgiii !!

[Spence]

RG3! Yeah

[SkinsGuru]

GREAT block by Garcon!!!

[Seafin77]

Rg3 ! Rg3!

[SkinsGuru]

need a stop here!!

[SkinsGuru]

Time for Morris to get his first 250 yard game . . . FEED HIM THE BALL!!!

[Spence]

Alfred Morris is a grown-ass man!

[SkinsGuru]

Beast!!!

[Spence]

Skins gotta make 'em kick a FG again

[SkinsGuru]

GREAT defensive play!!!! Fletcher!!!!!

[Spence]

Punt return coverage has been awful tonight. That's a game-changing penalty.

[SkinsGuru]

Punt return coverage has been awful tonight. That's a game-changing penalty.

i agree on the punt coverage, but that was a TD saving penalty

[SkinsGuru]

Big 3rd down again . . . got to hold them to a FG here!!

[SkinsGuru]

horrible coverage . . . gotta go for 2 here!!

[SkinsGuru]

when we get the ball back we need to run out the clock like in the NY game!!

[SkinsGuru]

now come on Morris and RGIIII !!

[SkinsGuru]

bad play call . . . RGIII !!

[Spence]

Skins need a TD. FG means we lose by 1

[Spence]

Wow. Nothing went right there. Just a complete mess. Redskins are reeling. Hard to see the defense stopping Romo now. Advantage Cowboys -- big-time.

[SkinsGuru]

big defensive series coming up here . . . YUCK!!

[SkinsGuru]

the D needs to step up and get one of those turn overs!!!

[Spence]

Rob Jackson again!

[SkinsGuru]

hell yeah baby!!! HUGE play by jackson!!!!!!

[Spence]

No field goals. TD or bust. FG does NOT get it done.

[SkinsGuru]

come on boys . . . NEED a first down!!!

[Spence]

I hope we're not really playing for a FG here. If we do, I think we lose.

[SkinsGuru]

no . . . NEED a TD!!

[SkinsGuru]

huge break there!!

[SkinsGuru]

Morris!!!!

[SkinsGuru]

That is a TD . . . no question!!!

[ISF]

I have not heard one single peep from any Cowboy friend coworkers since the game. I have tried to draw them out with inflammatory texting and pictures, but they remain MIA. Love it!
