LOL Romo was open to run for the 1st down on that down. HAHAHA The Redskins are celebrating like they won the Superbowl.


Yep that's exactly what I saw, only needed 3 yards and nobody was within 10 yards of Romo.

This win kept them in the divison! Even though there chances are very slim this was a must win situation for the Redskins to stay in it and they came up big with a win. I would be shocked if they didnt celebrate like they won the superbowl.

That's the Tony Romo we all know. Way to pass three straight times with three yards to go for the first with the best run game in the league.

He would have run but that PR dude that dragged McCoy away after the game was on the sidelines screaming "no means no!"



Question: Why did Dallas keep only 5 lineman and a RB against all out blitz's? I mean every 3rd down Washington was in that all out blitz look and almost every time they came with the blitz. smh. I mean if you're going to keep with that then ffs call quick slant routes.

AFAIK that's Linehan right?

I think this is a valuable loss really. It should hammer the importance of sticking to the tools that led to 6 wins in a row. Running the ball. Towards the end I was hoping they either won by the right plan, or lost by the wrong one so that they couldn't brush it off and ignore it. It's too easy to ignore horrendous mistakes if you win, it's REALLY hard to ignore horrible mistakes if you lose because of them.

Not sure what caused them to abandon everything and go insane. You could even see the Dallas O line start to break open the run in the second half, then they abandoned it again.

Pretty good though, they played the worst game of their year so far against a completely jacked up opponent, and they only lost by 3.

Counterpoint: that opponent was the Washington Redskins. And they lost.

True, but if you look at the level of energy that Washington brought to this game in combination with the worst play calling of the year award going to the Dallas offense, and it's honestly amazing that the result was only a 3-point squeaker. It's good they lost this game to drive the mistakes made home in terms of correcting those going forward.

Counterpoint: The Redskins didn't start either one of RGIII and Cousins.

And their 3rd string threw for 10 YPA



Just looking at the energy of the Redskins and total disorganization on the Dallas side of things, it looked like a game that should have been 38-7 or something. Mind-blowing that it was 3 points.

Take that loss and smoke it, Dallas coaches. Never forget. ALL the Dallas wins were made by sticking to a solid plan and not deviating.

Fact : deviate, and you invite disaster.
