Being force-fed a dose of humility by your biggest rival isn’t exactly what the Redskins were hoping for against the Dallas Cowboys. Yet Monday night’s heart-wrenching 18-16 loss serves as a reality check for a team who might have been garnering a bit too much attention in the early stages of this season.
It's all too familiar. Instead of currying favor with a breakthrough victory on prime time television, the Redskins have no choice but to settle for playing under the watchful eye of those cynics who had hidden in the woodwork following a 2-0 start.
However, don't expect the pressure from the critics to affect the organization’s mentality. Washington might not be ready to impress a national audience quite yet, but Mike Shanahan's guys are closer than you might think.
Yes, the Redskins are unquestionably a work in progress. But they're also better than the 2010 edition, hanging tough against the Cowboys in a defensive struggle. Ultimately what cost them was that they couldn’t find a way to make those few extra plays that often separate good teams from great ones.
lmao! only a matter of time till grossman reverts to his old ways and this team disintegrates, just like they have for the last 15 years! or is it 20 years? I guess kyle shanaham inherited the coaching gene from his father cause he surely never played a down in the nfl! what a joke!
ReplyDeleteskins suck nuff said
ReplyDeleteIt was a good game. Both teams faught hard, real hard.
ReplyDeleteMaybe some of the Redskin players shouldn't have talked so much smack over the last week. Maybe if they hadn't, they would have had more energy and more practice to play the game!
Go Cowboys!
The Redskins are STILL in FIRST place in the NFC east !!!!
ReplyDeleteDallas sucked they won but they sucked 4 bad snaps that happened to bounce back into Romos hands.Cant score in the red zone(NO touchdowns). who else is better than the Redskins in that div Giants?Eagles? not a chance.Dallas won but they know there not going anywhere with that team.
