I watched the game again on tape and found it a lot closer than the score reveals. At the beginning of the fourth quarter the score is 24-20 Dallas, with the 'girls pinned at their own 10. A few plays go our way and the SKINS could have easily closed this game out! Granted, Washington came out flat and played a terrible first quarter but they picked it up and were in the hunt until the first few minutes of the fourth! Dallas scored 14 points in the span of 5 minutes or so to seal their victory.

Madden figured he was talking to educated football fans when he showed the flagrant illegal clip on Deions return. The SKINS never seem to catch a break with the refs! That play gets called back and we have a whole new ballgame!

Oh well, we are not even halfway through the season yet and are tied for the lead in the NFC East! Considering the expectations of what the SKINS would do this season I can't complain too loudly! On the other hand, considering our playoff drought of the past 6 years...THESE SKINS HAD BETTER GET THEIR SHIT TOGETHER AND DOMINATE THE SECOND HALF OF THE SEASON, WIN THE DIVISION, AND CONTEND FOR THE BOWL, OR SOME HEADS WILL ROLL!!! (that's not too loud, is it?!:-)

Tom, I'm not a big Cowboy fan, but if they (the officials) could call an illegal block on EVERY punt return if they wanted to. Just a matter of not being in the right place at the right time. You are right though, Madden should have pointed out that it was illegal.

Hats off to the Cowboys. I really expected Washington to thump them, but hey, isn't this season already crazy enough??
