I think we win 24-10 Defense dominates Grossman and their anemic running game. Offense struggles early but Murray and Felix wear the D down and we pull away in the 4th. I'd take that and run away smiling

I tried to warn you. These are division games. Like Moose pointed out, one year we were 12-4 and the redskins were 4-12 and the redskins swept us. Half their wins were against us. That is crazy, but that is how division games go.
I think the running game SORELY misses Fiametta and it had such an effect, maybe we should cut someone and carry 2 FBs.

I would say Marty B but he actually contributed today. His 1 handed catch and drag for the first down plays were huge in the OT. Wouldn't mind seeing Ogletree gone, more chances for Holley and opens up that extra FB spot.

Can we not find a better return guy? Anyway a win is a win and now we head to the Thanksgiving game and look for a win vs the Dolphins.

Felix averaged 27 yards per return as a rookie but fell off after that. I think he should get a shot at it. I can't figure out why we can't find a punt returner, but after AOA almost let that one hit him instead of catching it, I'd cut him.

Romo missed some open guys today but I love his new mistake free approach. No fumbles or INT's since the Eagles game and it has coincided with this team getting it's act together...Murray didn't explode for another 100+ yards but he did enough to keep the defense honest and ran hard, which is all this offense really needs to put points on the board...Bailey is so money, been a god send for this team to not worry about anything 50 and under...Defense almost choked this game away, Ryan was WAAAY to conservative in his blitz calls which made Grossman look halfway decent. We won this game in-spite of his poor coaching, no excuse allowing this pathetic O to move the ball that easily...AOA was awful in the return game today, please give Felix a chance on KR and maybe Scandrick/Newman a shot at PR...As much as I hate Marty B, nice to see him show up in the OT...Overall: A division win is nothing to sneeze out, it was HUGE! With the Eagles gifting us a tie for first in the division, it is IMPERATIVE we take care of business the next 2 games.

I am going to take the win without complaint. Our defense will need to play better in the weeks ahead, but for now, we are in FIRST PLACE, BABY!!!

FYI, about Romo "almost" calling a TO we didn't have....(the rest of the article is a good read too) www.foxsportssouthwest.com/11/21/11/Romo-saves-day-with-clutch-throws/landing.html?blockID=609320&feedID=10194On Monday, the league cleared up the scenario with a clarification on the ruling of what might have happened: "Officials would not have granted Tony Romo a time out. They are instructed to ignore the request when a team has no time outs." This renders my speculation on what might have been irrelevant as was any subsequent discussion on whether this would have been ruled a 5-yard delay of game or a 15-yard unsportsmanlike conduct. The league claims they would never have penalized Romo for that mistake.

Romo praise from a Redskin player:
"That's Romo. He's like a snake, man," Washington linebacker Brian Orakpo said. "When you rush him, he's slippery. He's all over the place."
