[quote=mredskins;965384]If you are a Skins fan there is not much to complain about today about the team. Soak in the home blow out win over a division rival and just plain enjoy it. I am sure the Skins will have a bad game again this year don't worry Debbie Downers.[/quote]

meanwhile the Gloat has been quiet

I would like to change my original response to Joe Redskins comment to "did u really have to go there today". Before this snowballs into something completely out of context and ruins a perfectly good day. If it hasnt already. Just for the record I believe the Skins and Pack win this week setting up a huge MNF showdown at fedex between us and the Giants. I also believe the Giants brutal remaining schedule opens up the door for a division crown and playoff run for the Skins. Been saying that for weeks. Ask Okie - i said we would win the division after the first Giants game - a loss - so no debbie downer in my house. No sir. No how.

C'mon Punch, relax, a little sarcasm won't hurt you. And the only thing "over the top" is your response. Besides, where would your post count be without a little back and forth?

Sarcasm makes the world go around. Just was surprised that he went to the Shanny comments in response to a simple question about penalties. Sorry. It gets old coming from both sides. I dont care about my post count or who likes me. My dog likes me. At least he has never said he does not so im fine. :)

<sigh> It was a joke. If we can't laugh at the bad crap when we are winning, when can we?

Okay ... how's this: We won by 20+ points against a crappy team with a rookie QB that is imploding so it is indicative of nothing and, b/c of the poor play calling/execution on short yardage and the penalties, just highlighted our inability to compete against top flight NFL teams. We are still a bad team and are deluding ourselves on thinking anything else. Some of that blame has to fall on the Shanny's.

Maybe more accurate but not nearly as much fun.

He's our best pure WR. The only facet other guys trump Moss is on blocking, which is important no doubt. But as far as pure WR skills - speed, route-running, ability to create space, football IQ - he's far and away our best.

[quote=Monkeydad;965341]MVP not named RGIII = Meriweather

He set the tone for the D. He was hitting hard, covering well, creating turnovers. It was like a completely different defense with him in there because he immediately fixed the defense's weakest position.

Thankfully his knee injury was very minor. It's reported that he could have returned to the game but they held him out to be ready for Dallas on short rest. Smart move.[/quote]

For a minute I thought #21 was out there the way he was drilling guys. I'm not sure why he's been cut from two teams but he really played well yesterday.

I was actually thrilled with how the entire team rallied around Mike. Maybe that whole "evaluation" comment sparked a fire under their asses after all. Also, just for the record I never had a problem with that presser - thought the whole thing was taken out of context.

Fair enough. I almost didn't post it, but after putting up with two weeks of anti-shanny rants, I admit I gave in to my darkside. The penalties issue was a legit question and one that we all probably have in the back of our minds.

At the same time, we beat the F'ing Eagles by a ton and, b/c of that, nothing will change the utter joy, albeit transitory, in my heart. HTTR.

When the score was 24-6, I made the comment to my wife that "this is not over. It's the Redskins."

At 31-6, I started to feel good about the game. :D

I was watching with not one - not two - but three eagles fans. At 24-6 i was the one pacing. They were like dude whats wrong? I just said - guys ive seen this movie before and I really dont like the ending. With about 9 minutes left i realized that the Eagles were playing so freaking bad that even if we didnt get that illusive blowout win that we were going to get a win and relaxed alittle.

[quote=BringBackJoeT;965312]The second Dallas game in 2005 was a 25+ point victory (and one of my favorite all-time Redskins wins). But that might be it in the last ten years.

Haven't had much peace since Friday. Trying to close a huge deal tomorrow for new clients and yeah it makes me piss and vinegar. Hopefully by tomorrow afternoon I'm relaxing.

Gotta say that I cursed the TV when Shanny went for it on 4th down instead of taking the FG to go up 3 TDs. Such is the lot of a long time Skins fan, on pins and needles up 18 points with 9 minutes to go...

Those are the tough calls but honestly I've liked Shanny going for it on 4th down when he has. Shows guts IMO and when you have a stud like RG3 why not?

We have been better on 4th downs than thirds. Lol. Was that the third and inches and fourth and inches where they stuffed us? I was thinking if we kick a fg it would be 21 point lead instead of 18 - basically still a three score lead. Also the birds offense was struggling to say the least. I was happy that Shanny was going for the throat.

My first ever Skins home game. A best man gift from my brother who is also a Skins fan. Met the chief and got a pic with him and my brother as soon as we walked into the stadium. Fifty yard line in the upper section Skins side of the field. Great nite! Cooley was an absolute beast. Parcells said after the game that he was never so intimidated coming out of the tunnel in any other game. That is saying alot. Still get goosebumps from that nite!

Good. Still alot of lumber being cut. My father in law is over on the island rite now picking thru his home of fifty years. Real mess for alot of family n friends but we will get by. Thanks for asking goat.
