I thought you should've kept Wahle.

So basically, you're saying that your team doesn't have enough talent, yet they were still winning?So they're a group of underdogs playing better than their talent level? Isn't that what every fan loves? Doesn't that usually cause fans to support their team full heartedly?Or a realist.Then you aren't a fan, your a bandwagoner.Sure I can.. I've known all season that The Vikes weren't going any where.Cowboy fans on the other hand....Your team just got their arses handed to them, you can't come here talking crap now.
Now that's the Cowgirls out there if I have ever seen them.
Till they remedy that situation it was written on the wall they wouldn't go any where this season.
Believe me, if you saw my basement I am FAR from being a Band wagon fan.
My wife wishes I was so I didn't have so many Viking things in my house.
Seeing as we live in Wisconsin I take enough crap to know where my true Football Blood flows.
The Vikes Defense is Very good IMO. It has carried this team the last 6 games while The Offense did just enough not to lose games.That came back to bite them in the butt BIG time today.
Just being a Realistic about this team.
Sorry, I bleed Purple, but live in a world where the sky is blue not Purple.
I cheer 100% for The Vikings to win. My BLood Pressure was off the charts in the 1st half with all the bad calls.
You do know you can cheer for a team and still live in reality correct?

It was a tough decision. Wahle is one of the best pulling guards in the league, and I enjoyed watching him progress into a great all around blocker. But again, it was obvious the Pack was being held together by smoke and mirrors and it would not be wise to spend a ton of $$$ on a guard, although Wahle is obviously in his prime and is only 28. But $11,000,000 signing bonus for an interior offensive lineman? Looking at our situation it was just not worth it. Smart move by Ted Thompson, he needs to clear up cap space.
Yeah, I'm just messin' with ya. Its rare to hear a fan not think(hope) for the best regarding his team. I'm sure you're a good fan.So basically, you're saying that your team doesn't have enough talent, yet they were still winning?So they're a group of underdogs playing better than their talent level?

Look at the Bills this year, are they any better? Look at Dallas, are they better? The Bills still suck. Bledsoe wasn't the problem. Dallas is much better than last year....I have to say Bledsoe isn't the problem.Amazing how you sound like a Bills fan from about 2003.Bledsoe isn't that old. The offensive line is awful. Doesn't matter who the QB is. Bledsoe hasn't been the problem. The offensive line can't block, they get 10 penalties a game and they can't open holes for the RB.Maybe if Parcells would try getting a QB younger than Don Meredith this time, they'd do better.He has them 8-5. You think they would be better with Testeverde?

This game is playing out exactly like a Super Tecmo Bowl game where the Redskins are the computer and they pick your play every time, and you get sacked 48 times, fumble a few times and suffer some key injuries.

Bledsoe is a pretty good QB who has definite strengths but definite weaknesses as well. Because of that, he needs to be in the right system. Hes not as good as he looks on some days, and not as bad as he looks on others like today.

its just been that type of dayCowboy punter is just worn out. He's on his last leg.COWBOYS ELECT NOT TO GO FOR IT ON 4TH AND 1 AND PUNT THE BALL 15 YARDS!

Thats why, kids, It doesn't pay to be a homer (in texas).

Underrated stat.

That is an unusual way of looking at. A better way would be to say they failed to convert a two-point conversion that would have tied the game. Watching this game is awfully entertaining. I always enjoy watching Dallas lose and seeing them lose like this is entertaining as hell.

Score Update: Redskins a lot, Cowboys not nearly enough

Either way washington is going to get handled next week by the new york football giants

I'm not going to be happy if I lose because of a garbage TD to Witten right here.

That was painful to watch. From a homer perspective and a football fan perspective. Just an awful game played by the Cowboys.Props to the Redskins for showing up to whoop some ####. That was really painful to say.

I hope the Giants man handle you the way they did last time though.......

The disparity between the 2 teams is not nearly as great as the game results. The Cowboys just had a day where everything went wrong and ran into an inspired team playing well, just like when the Redskins ran into the Giants earlier this year and got whipped. It was pretty obvious by the second quarter that there was no way Dallas would win today. Some days are just like that.

Still sucks to lose like that to your rival. I dont know which loss is worse this year, that one or the come from behind loss in Dallas on "Triplet" night.......I lost my fantasy game by 4 ####ing points too. Dallas defense got me one point. One.
I'm watching Gibbs' press conference right now. He said it looks like Thomas broke his ankle. This was a GREAT win but losing Thomas is a MAJOR loss. Who do they have to plug that hole? Is Ray Brown or someone going to play? As a Redskins homer, that was one great game. Honestly, I can't remember a better game since Gibbs left 13 years ago!
The Giants game next week is huge. I don't see Skins winning the division but Wildcard is looking more realistic now...

Yeah that was a huge loss for the Cowboys but I still don't think he Redskins can beat the Giants. The Giants do suck on the road. I think it is in the best interests of the Cowboys for the Redskins to lose anyway....another good reason for me to cheer against them.

The way I see it, even if the skins beat the giants the division still belongs to the gmen.they will not lose the following week against the faiders.
That's the key...yesterday was really when the Giants had to lose (vs. KC) for the Redskins to have a realistic shot at the division, because they then could controlled their own destiny by winning out. I do think the Skins have a chance against the Giants at home. Remember most of those games the Redskins lost they got slaughtered in the Giveaway/Takeaway category and also committed countless bonehead penalties. Today was an example of how well the team*could* be if they just played mistake free football. Even so, winning nout will be tough...the Giants are obviously a good team, and I don't think you can count the Eagles out at home...they still are going to play that game very tough.As for the division, it's unfortunately too little too late. Like you I don't see the Giants losing to the Raiders, so basically they've got the division wrapped up. THe best the skins can hope for is to win out and then sneak in as a wildcard by virtue of tiebreaker (I think they are ahead of everyone in the tiebreakers except Tampa Bay.)
