Bledsoe hits Glenn for a 40-yard TD on the first play of the fourth quarter. It looked like half the 'Skins' secondary was still on the sidelines because Glenn was wide open.
Cowboys 24 Redskins 1010:51 PM EST
Now Al Saunders decides to run the crazy plays. This time, it's an end around with Randle El. Five yard loss. Madden just said, "I don't think the Redskins offense has doen anything aggressive."
10:52 PM EST
Brunell throws an interception but thankfully, Jon Jansen jumped offsides. See, I told you all these penalties would come in handy. A play later, Brunell is sacked. Do you actually think the Redskins practice during the week or do they just sit at the foot of Joe Gibbs' throne as he tell stories about how he used to be a good coach?
10:58 PM EST
The Cowboys are in run-down-the-clock mode and there's still 11 minutes to go in the quarter. This game could be even more lopsided if not for the Cartwright kickoff return and the bevy of dropped passes.
Michaels just asked Collinsworth what he thought about the Pats-Jets game and his response was, "You know, I quit watching it." I'm right there with you Chris.

Washington's defense has been a big disappointment so far this season. A unit that made their living on pressuring the quarterback and stopping the run hasn't done either this season. Adding insult to injury, Vanderjagt just nailed a 49-yarder. Colts fans just threw their televisions out the window.
Cowboys 27 Redskins 10

Here's a stat for you: Santana Moss has one catch. Here's another one for you: Chris Cooley hasn't caught one pass. And how about this: Washington has 70 yards passing and over 100 yards in penalties.
11:13 PM EST
The Redskins finally start moving the ball but a lot of that has to do with the Cowboys going to the Prevent defense. Somehow, Dallas still manages to sack Brunell setting up a fourth-and-7.
11:17 PM EST
Brunell was sacked on fourth down. That should just about do it. Somebody should ask Joe Gibbs exactly what about Al Saunders' offense that's so innovative. I'm at a loss.
11:19 PM EST
Andrea Kremer just said that T.O. is in the locker room getting his hand X-rayed. That would explain all the drops, I suppose. Well, either that or Owens is just trying to sabotoge his QB. Hey, it's not like it hasn't happened before.
11:22 PM EST
Madden is now so bored with the game he's telling stories about Terry Glenn, who also shared the same flying phobia as Big John. This thing can't end quickly enough.
11:23 PM EST
Michaels is speculating how bad things will be in Washington if the team loses next week against the Texans. Maddens pipes in with, "Well, the Redskins aren't very good right now." That's about as close to a ringing endorsement as you're going to get if you're a Texans fan. Congrats.
Two-minute warning. Thank God.
11:25 PM EST
The camera just showed Joe Gibbs and he looks like he just pooped his britches. And not in a good, Najeh Davenport kinda way, either.
11:31 PM EST
I don't know if this was the game plan, but Cooley gets his first catch with just over a minute to go in the game. Inexplicably, Dallas calls a timeout with 33 seconds to go. Fittingly, the game ends on a Redskins penalty. And that's a wrap, folks. The Cowboys rebound from a Week 1 loss and the Redskins head to Houston 0-2.

Joe Gibbs is gone. When was the last time you saw the Redskins never thro a deep pass? More power to Al Sounders but he has destroyed our offense.
I have been a Redskin Fan for over 30 years, but what you all have done to the Redskins, I am leaving the team as Dan Snyder and you Coach Gibb have ruined us. You knew Jack Kent Cooke, and he was no Daniel Snyder. Go back to car racing and let us suffer with Snyder, as we all know we are losers with him.
Leave the game and fire your assistants, as that is the only way the Redskins will survive.

If the guy sitting next to me in a bar said some of things Madden went on about in the last 10 minutes of this game, I'd move to another stool.
Great job on the blog.

Besides his video game I have never quite understood why Madden is so popular( I suspect the casual fan group w/ no real football knowledge has alot to do with it), he used to be a "good" analyst but, that was like 10 years ago. Now for every 1 point he makes thats actually good and insightful 5 idiotic ones seem to follow
