Featured Game Week 1 - Dallas Cowboys At
Washington Redskins
| Optimism
abounds in week 1, the Cowboys are picked by many to win the
division. The Redskins with a new coach and new veteran QB hope
for a much better season this year, perhaps even a playoff
berth. |

| Redskins first drive with McNabb
at QB is a nice 6 minute 28 second field goal drive. It would
have been better for them if it were a touchdown drive but it is
still a pretty good 19 PossessionPoints start. |

| Redskins end half with an
unbelievable touchdown. The Cowboys try a desperation play, that
was going nowhere with 0:04 seconds left in the half. The
Redskins forced a fumble and returned it for a touchdown. No
PossessionPoints but that is the kind of a play that gets
coaches fired. The Cowboys will not live up to their potential
this season if they continue to do dumb things like that. |

| Dallas had been doing everything
in their power to give the Redskins the game. The Redskins just
haven't taken it, in fact they gave the Cowboys great field
position with a bad punt. The Cowboys capitalized on it with a 3
minute 26 second touchdown drive that was worth 30
PossessionPoints. |

| The Redskins hit a
49 yard field goal after a 4 minute, 24 second drive. That
leaves the Cowboys needing a TD to win. As you can see both
teams are still "red" so anything can happen based on our stat. |

| Crazy ending to
this one. Tony Romo throws a TD that appears to win the game,
but an obvious holding penalty was called against the offensive
line. That ended the game. The Cowboys lost but easily could
have won this game. Hopefully our next feature game will have at
least one team get to the "Green" on offense. |
