Yes, cut Barron. His overall play was poor. If any one player crippled a overall poor offense it was him. Neither team looks like a winning season even a remote possibility.

Had that fumble not happened at the end of the first half, and the game played out the way it did the rest of the way, Dallas would have won 7-6. The Skins got lucky on that fumble. Otherwise, they weren’t any better than the Cowboys. They were as equaly inept as Dallas was.

If Jerry wants to find a decent head coach, all he has to do is travel to Fort Worth to the TCU campus.

He doesn't want a decent head coach. He wants a spineless puppet that he can manipulate.

Still shot of Alex Barron's holding call.

I’m a Redskins fan, but they didn’t deserve to win this game.

Redskins offense scored two field goals.

Cowboys offense scored two touchdowns, the last one called back due to a stupid holding mistake.

His defense is superb.

Except when they really need a stop in the fourth quarter. Washington drove right down the field and got the FG, that forced the Cowboys to have to score a TD on their final drive.

You do realize that if Barron doesn't hold, Romo probably never gets the pass off.

It was a broken down pass play, Romo tried a desperate backward toss to Choice who was probably thinking to block at the time.

The play should have never been called anyways

No, that’s weak. You can’t complain when a D gives up 6 points. No coach in the league would say that’s a weak D, no matter what happens “at the end of the game.” Dallas has a superb D, much of it the result of Wade’s ideas. He couldn’t possibly be a worse offensive coach than Garrett.

They are a good defense, a great defense makes that stop in the fourth quarter.

No, a great defense holds the opponent to 6 points. A half-decent offense doesn’t give up the ball. As I say, you shop this defense to the league, I don’t think you’d find one coach who wouldn’t trade his D for this group.

A great defense does what it takes to win, even when the offense is having an off-night. It’s not about how many points you give up, it’s when you give them up. And we’ve seen many times where the Cowboys defense has folded in the fourth quarter of close games during the Wade Phillips era.

Please. You have to know how silly this is. By your logic, a team that has given up 45 points is a “great” defense because it stops the other team from getting 46???? Really? Try that one on some football guys.

I’m wondering where all this talk around Washington about McNabb having a good day comes from, given Romo had a much better statistical day than McNabb, and the Washington Offense is still non-existant.

On the other hand, this had freed up my Sundays; and Virginia Tech has pretty much freed up my Saturdays now, so I can take a second job to afford the Obama economy.
