This is a must win for both teams. The Redskins lose and their out.
When the Redskins have the ball…
The Redskins must win first downs. 2nd and short beats 2nd and long any day of the week.
The Redskins must cut down on penalties. 13 penalties, the total from last week, is just players beating themselves.
The Redskins will need to run the ball better than they did against the Eagles. They need to keep it between the tackles. The option isn’t going to work except in spots as the Dallas defense is pretty quick.
Receivers need to get open. In the second half, as I mentioned before, it was the RGIII & Alfred ‘Bull’ Morris show. Other guys on offense are going to need to step up.
Control the clock. The first quarters of Sunday’s game against the Eagles saw the Eagles control the clock for something like 12 minutes. This canot continue as the drives the Eagles couldn’t finish, the Cowboys will.
When the Cowboys have the ball…
The Redskins must cover Dez Bryant. Dez was the one who killed us on a 3rd and 20 last year.
Pass rush. The Redskins need to put pressure on Romo to make him try and make off balance throws.
Keep everything in front of you. The Cowboys will get their yards but, if you keep everything in front of you, this makes the Cowboys work to get downfield.
The Redskins MUST cut down on penalties. Nothing hurts worse than holding a team on 3rd down and then giving them a 1st down because of penalties.
Via Mashable, titled ‘Eat, Fry, Love,’ a pretty cool look at the dangers of deep frying a turkey.
In 2011, William Shatner starred in a public service announcement created by State Farm Insurance to raise awareness of the dangers of deep frying turkey. In this year’s version, State Farm commissioned John Boswell to remix the video with Shatner singing in an autotuned melody “deep-fried turkey, I want a moister, tastier turkey…”
All kidding aside, deep frying a turkey can be incredibly dangerous. It should be done outside, away from the house and the bird itself should be completely thawed. Frying a partially frozen turkey (or overfilling the pot with oil) can cause a grease fire.
Vice President Biden, who thinks of himself as middle class and self-identifies with average Americans, embarked Tuesday for the exclusive resort island of Nantucket, where he and his family spend Thanksgiving every year.
According to Nantucket’s Inquirer and Mirror, it’s the 36th straight year the Biden clan has celebrated the holiday on the island.
Biden used to journey by boat from Hyannis – the ritzy island enclave where President Obama vacations during summer – to Nantucket for Turkey Day, the newspaper reports. But as vice president he descends from the clouds at taxpayer expense aboard Air Force Two.
“Come, let us sing for joy to the LORD; let us shout aloud to the Rock of our salvation. Let us come before him with thanksgiving and extol him with music and song.” – Psalm 95:1-2
It is the duty of all Nations to acknowledge the providence of Almighty God, to obey his will, to be grateful for his benefits, and humbly to implore his protection and favors.
George Washington, Thanksgiving Proclamation, 1789
