HOW 'BOUT THEM REDSKINS!!!!

REDSKINS 26 - DALLAS 24

This team could be for real!!

Beating Dallas, arguably the best team in the NFL going into this game, at home is a HUGE step forward for the Skins. While the score doesn't necessarily reflect it, the Skins pretty much dominated on offense in yardage, time of possesion, and first downs. Given the points left on the field by the Skins - two touchdowns called back by penalties - the score could have been higher.

As a dyed-in-the-wool Redskins fan, there is nothing that makes me feel better than takin' it to the Cowgirls in their own stadium. To all the nay-sayers, who belittled Jason Campbell's ability, you can all kindly just SHUT THE F%#K UP!! Campbell has turned into a class QB. He showed poise and control throughout this game despite a bruising pass rush from the Cowboys front four (the fact that he has yet to turn over the football this season is testimony to his improvement). I had my doubts after the miserable loss on opening day to the Giants, but I'm a believer now.

This was the first big test as to whether the Skins were going to be contenders or pretenders this year, and they passed it with flying colors. Next week's game on the road in Philly will be the second part of the test. If the Skins can come away with a victory there, then I don't think there will be any doubt that we're back! As Troy Aikman, who was effusive in his praise of the Skins during the game, said, "If you can win in the NFC East, you can win anywhere else."

HAIL TO THE REDSKINS!!!
