Eli is not elite SKINS vs midgets game day thread
 

Eli throws 2 picks and has a lost fumble. RG3 has 2 passing TDs and 1 Rushing. Morris has a rushing TD and 127 rushing yards. Williams and Hall get the picks, P. Ryan Kerrigan recovers the fumble.

Skins 37

Midgets 24

It's not Gameday yet lol. Also, hate to be the Debbie downer here, but Eli is definitely elite. And if he's not, then elite is overrated. Because he is one of the most clutch qb's in the game and he's also directly responsible for their 2 recent SB wins. I think that whole argument is weak, because at the end of the day, 2 rings > elite. I'd rather be clutch than elite anyways.

But I do feel bad for starting off this thread by praising the opposing teams qb, so let me turn this around. Screw Eli, screw the giants, and hopefully after tomorrow we're .500 and still in it. Redskins all day, and twice on Sundays (or Mondays in this case.)

Re: Eli is not elite SKINS vs midgets game day thread
 

7 minutes till and didn't want someone spoiling my 2-0 record and you never say an opposing QB is elite!!!! He is terrible!!! He can be elite next week, but today he is not elite

Re: Eli is not elite SKINS vs midgets game day thread
 

You're way early.

My OCD makes me hate these thread titles.

There is only 3 Elite Qbs.

Brady
PManning
Rodgers

I second this. If people are going to make these ridiculously early gameday threads can they at least keep the usual "Redskins vs. *Opponent* Gameday Thread" title? Ugh.

Agreed. I can live with the capitalization but the missing semi-colon is killing me.

Re: Eli is not elite SKINS vs midgets game day thread
 

Damn it!!! Your unappreciative pricks!!! I've brought us 2 divisional victories. I'm sorry for being 7 minutes early!!! Lol ill never post a thread again!!!

Re: Eli is not elite SKINS vs midgets game day thread
 

Unless we win tomorrow, then you will have to be early next week too. Of course what if by being 7 minutes early you have disrupted your winning ritual. You may have already doomed us.

Seriously? No Drew Brees? Eli's little brother is elite too, but he's not as elite as his brother. There's still differences among the top 5 QBs.

Re: Eli is not elite SKINS vs midgets game day thread
 

Speaking of winning rituals and luck, I haven't been able to fully watch the past two games that the Redskins have won. Against the Eagles, I was flying back from Vegas, and could only watch games through NFL RedZone (the BEST feature about flying Southwest) and the games against the Cowpukes, I couldn't watch the whole thing b/c of Thanksgiving dinner. Tomorrow, I will miss part of the Skins/Giants game b/c of class...so if we win, I probably will continue to miss part of the games or "watch it" through NFL RedZone.

Okay, now I feel like these guys....

Re: Eli is not elite SKINS vs midgets game day thread
 

I don't feel great coming into this game. Many small reasons.

1) When Andrew Luck has a great game; RG3 loses.
2) I haven't heard much talk from the giants in the past few days. They've been awfully quiet.
3) We are getting a lot of hype right now.
4) Every year theres a sports weekend or 2, where the NFL teams, and college teams that I root for to win, all lose. If the redskins lose tomorrow it'll complete that dreadful Losing weekend.
5) Redskins haven't been good on MNF in a while and they haven't won at home on MNF since 96. Why would we break the streak tomorrow?

Re: Eli is not elite SKINS vs midgets game day thread
 

I had a dream tonight's in a row that S Moss caught a RG3 beautiful 60 yard pass for the win. Don't even think it comes to that. I think it will be ours throughout the game 34-17 us.

Re: Eli is not elite SKINS vs midgets game day thread
 

Does anyone know the last time we beat 3 NFCE teams in a row? If the Skins pull this one off, it would be a statement win.

The extra days off ought to help everyone on the team heal up, and rest up. I wouldn't be surprised, though, if we came out sluggish and got behind before our offense starts to click.

I hate late games/MNF games. Won't be able to focus on work most all of the day (not that that's anything new...)

Re: Eli is not elite SKINS vs midgets game day thread
 

I put my Redskins car flag up just before the Giants loss, and I took it down after we lost to Carolina. I have not put it back on thinking I may disrupt our winning streak.

Re: Eli is not elite SKINS vs midgets game day thread
 

I'll get excited when the team is over .500

HHTR! Keep the flags down and the powder dry. All streaks come to an end. RG3 first Monday night game!!!! Monday night losing streak ends now. I work second shift. I took tonight off, scheduled it in September!!!!

Part of me understands this, but, a much larger part says that Skins fans ought to be pretty excited that our team is putting up nearly 30 points a game, and all of our main characters are on the right side of 30.

RG3 is going to blow up!!! This kid plays best when the pressure on. Prime time! I'm missing second shift at work too so if I lose I have a feeling my co workers will laugh at me so we need to win for multiple reasons lol

Re: Eli is not elite SKINS vs midgets game day thread
 

This is a crucial game in my opinion. If the 'skins win tonight, I seriously think they win out. It's a statement game. At some point in a franchise's rebuilding, there has to be a certain game or a certain play that turns everything around. In my opinion, it's gotta be tonight. When three NFCE games in a row, on top of beating the current Super Bowl champions, and this team glides into the playoffs being very dangerous. Lose tonight, and the 'skins aren't quite there yet, they'll lose another game down the road that they probably shouldn't drop, but they'll sweep Dallas to end 8-8 and give us something to look forward to for next season. I really think it goes one of those two ways. I just hope it's the former.

I actually think it started in the 2 qtr. on Thanks Giving day.

Re: Eli is not elite SKINS vs midgets game day thread
 

Worked up for a game for the first time in a while. I REALLY hope we come to play tonight. So tired of being hapless and hopeless.

[quote=Gary84Clark;969792]Portis put the team on his back![/quote]

RGIII will continue to carry this team a la Portis in '05. It's been incredible watching him step up in big games, and this is arguably the biggest of the season to date.

Re: Eli is not elite SKINS vs midgets game day thread
 

We have a lot of variables not in our favor:

1) We are playing at home (which normally means we don't play good)

2) We normal play like poop on a primetime game.




Here is to hoping be break all the trends. Already broke one this season with a huge win after the bye week(against the Eagles at that).

These two things truly do go away due to the Griffin Factor. Truly I hope this is a revenge for the Monday Night Swinging Gate debacle. That was a low point for me with the Skins, and I hope that tonight erases that as Griffin and the Skins continue to show everyone that they are real.

Griffin isn't affected by the stage, unless it is that he steps up to it and makes it his.

Re: Eli is not elite SKINS vs midgets game day thread
 

if the defense continues the trend of stronger play in the second half, we should win. Another statement game opportunity.

And not to mention breaking the losing streak against the Cowboys on Thanksgiving Day.

Re: Eli is not elite SKINS vs midgets game day thread
 

I understand that we haven't had a great record on Monday night and have problems with winning at home. That was the past, prior to RG III. This kid has changed everything for us. Throw out everything that has happened to us in the past and start fresh with this year.

We have a franchise QB, from this year forward we are fresh and new.

Remember in week 7 we turned the ball over nearly 6 times and only lost by 4. Tonight we flip the script.

Re: Eli is not elite SKINS vs midgets game day thread
 

My only worry is our uniforms. While we're look spectacular, we always lose in any of our anniversary uniforms.

Otherwise, we can beat them.
