Alex Smith seems to be back. Makes Wa a better team.

 

[Bobblehead]

Dzone going nuts.

Skins?

 

[diver110]

Amazing win for WA. Anyone think they would win that big?

The fact the Skins were the team will be like getting a bad Tattoo for the Cowboys fans, it will never go away and that ass kicking will be brought up for years to come.

My initial reaction to Washington Football Team merch being advertised was surprise anyone would buy it, and then someone reminded me it will likely have novelty appeal for collectors in the future.

Yes I know it was against the 3-8 Cowboys but Washington looks like they got some fight in them. Chalk that game we have against them up as one of those classic "Do NOT Play Down To Your Opponent" games that the Hawks tend to play from time-to-time, or it will be an upsetting loss.

My fear is that we drop one of these "gimmee" NFC East games because we are focused on that Rams game if we're not careful.

Man, Washington looked good tonight! If they keep playing like this, Seattle's not in for a guaranteed win by any means. Makes me nervous.

We all know the weakest link on the team is the GM/Owner, and as long as he is around they won’t be anywhere near another Super Bowl.....
Funniest but truest post I’ve seen about the Cowboys on their Cowboys Zone forum.

The problem here is that Jerrah surrounds himself with "Yes men

People who he can control by a million strings he can pull to get what he wants.

Plus he has Stephen to help him.

This is not a football team..

It’s a money laundering operation.

All the Jones business are that way.

The Cowboys are not a team..

they are an asset.

Same with the stadium and the Star and all the Fried Chicken restaurants, etc.

And as such they will be handled as 'cashflow' not anything made of flesh and bone and having emotions, etc.

Jerrah has no emotions for anything but money Once we all see that the better.

We are not fans. We are assets.

Washington Football Club is a way better name.

WFC has a legitimate defense but they haven't had an offense worth a damn this season. They put it all together today.

 

[diver110]

The stupid fake punt was the turning point. Without that, the game could have been a lot closer.

Their D is for real.

And most teams including us usually drop a surprise game to an opponent they thought they would beat.

 

[chris98251]

They have a decent D granted, but Dallas made them look better also.

I think the real key however is having Alex Smith back, players trust him, he doesn't make as many dumb mistakes and his team mates play for him. He isn't just a guy out there to them.

Alex Smith and that D will give the Hawks all they can handle in that road game .

In addition, I sense hesitation among d-players to use force when hitting Smith. Definitely I noticed that the touches he got yesterday were rather pillowcake in terms of what other NFL QBs are routinely exposed to.

Everyone saw the ESPN special on Alex's recovery and no one wants to be That Guy who puts him on the cart again, even though that's part of the job. During the Dalass game, Smith used a lot of running plays--which worked obviously--but when he has to pass he's a statue b/c of his mobility, and possibly his age too.

So yeah, someone at some point is going to be That Guy that hits legal, but harder than he's yet been hit.
