NFC EAST

Dr. Gonzo Reporting,

You heard the chants last week: WE WANT DALLAS, WE WANT DALLAS!!

Tomorrow at 4:15 eastern time we get em’.

The 3-0 Cowboys will attempt to defend their home turf for a final time against NFC EAST enemy the 2-1 Redskins.  It sure as hell wont be easy to beat a team with the top offense in the league, but if anyone can do it, it’s the Skins.

Let me remind you that just two seasons ago, Sean Taylor recovered a blocked field goal all the way in to our kickers range, and we stole one.

 And who can forget our Monday night triumph, when the number 8 car found a speedy and healthy Santana Moss for two fourth quarter touchdowns.  Then to seal the deal, that Taylor guy destroyed a Cowboy receiver at the line to solidify a defensive stop that would lead to a 14-13 Redskins shocker.

 Those memories are fresh in the fans minds, memories of never quitting until the last whistle.  Not all our memories are great; there was the time Aikman found Ismail for deep balls, deflating the Redskins home crowd.  Or the images of that coke head Irving getting away with countless offensive pass interferences. 

If nothing else, we know the Skins will get up for this game.

 I urge everyone to go online and watch Troy Aikman get obliterated by Lavar and try to find a rare clip of Dan Turk lighting up Deion Sanders on a punt return.  Take in all those old memories, because that’s all you can do right now, reflect and hope that Sunday will add to the memories of Cowboy failure.

 Nothing would be sweeter than going in to the cesspool they call Cowboy Stadium one more time and ruining their last home game in this rivalry.

 I want to see Romo on his ass, TO dropping balls over the middle and Roy Williams getting toasted by Santana Moss.

 I know I’m ready, Are you ready coach Z?

You may have like the Cowboys before, you may have said, “hey may be they are Americas team,” but that was before you put on the Burgundy and Gold.  Get up to speed quick and get ready for a game that has all the passion of a collegiate rivalry and all the insanity of pro ball.

 One more day till Dallas week comes to a climactic head, don’t miss this one.

 P.S. If anyone sees Rooster, tell him that he still writes for this blog.

Dr. Gonzo Reporting,

Step back from that ledge! It’s not worth it. 

Okay, now I am aware the offense looked lost, the defense looked small and the secondary looked softer than angel soft toilet paper.  But it’s only one game.

Leading up to last nights game I, like most fans and media members, had a strange sense of optimism.  The downfall of a D.C. Sports fan.  My hometown blinders allowed me to look past an inexperienced coach, a small receiving core and the fact that no one was giving the Super Bowl champs any respect.  We were all naive. 

Last night was the definition of a Redskins game in the Dan Snyder era, no one looked comfortable and they probably won’t until they’re 4-7 and have to win out to make the playoffs.  In the smash mouth NFC EAST, the Skins got popped in the mouth and didn’t pop back.
