QB debuts against the Panthers over the years

fug this game. My boss at the time was a Cowboys fan and the week leading up to it was the only real occasion where I had actually given him any poo (he's one of the few reasonable Cowboys fans I've ever known) because I figured this game was a lock. After all, their team was falling apart and they had to start some nobody at QB because Bledsoe was all over the place and it was only a matter of time before Owens tore their locker room apart right?

We got up 14-0 and Fox completely shut down the offense. I remember seeing Keyshawn Johnson drop a pass on a wide open streak route that would have gone for a walk-in touchdown at one point. We fell apart so bad that the Cowboys even set a team record for fourth quarter scoring or something like that. Monday was fun.

Two counterpoints.

One- that was Fox, this is Rivera. Different philosophy and defense for better or worse.

two- Washington has lost the last 6 times they have faced a rookie quarterback.

So it will our poor history against backups versus their poor history against rookie quarterbacks.

That was the year that we started backups and has beens after week 3 as well. So it was our backup against theirs. No biggie.

Yeah it was basically two crippled teams with makeshift rosters engaged in a weak slapfight. There was something about watching Joey Harrington-one of the least clutch quarterbacks I can think of-march downfield for a game winning TD that was just devastating, though. It almost seemed like they were playing for a field goal and "accidentally" scored a touchdown. It looked like Crumpler caught a short checkdown, saw a wide open lane to the end zone, and ran in slow motion while a bunch of defenders stood around.

Yeah, I remember that vividly, Cumpler pretty much used the ref as a screen and glided in for a TD.
