Did anybody go to bed and miss the end of MNF?
 

I was just talking to my Mom and she said, how much did the Redskins lose by on Monday night? I was like huh... they won! She was surprised and said she was watching it for a while but went to bed and figured they lost.

Did anybody else got to bed and wake up to the news that they pulled out the win? I was just thinking of how much of a shock that would have been.

I have to admit that the thought of turning the game off and going to bed flashed through my mind briefly on Monday night, but for some reason I decided to keep torturing myself. ;)

i survived some bad games over the last few years, but i'm always there till the bitter bitter end.

Re: Did anybody go to bed and miss the end of MNF?
 

00:00 is the only cue for me to stop watching a Skins game. but i usually start formulating opinions on the game when they start telling me who produced it.

Re: Did anybody go to bed and miss the end of MNF?
 

I had a friend of mine who did that. I happen to talk to him the next morning at around 10am and I said, "So what about that game last night?" and he said, "yeah the Skins looked terrible". I said "yeah they did for awhile, but those passes to Moss were beautiful!" He was like "what are you talking about" and when I told him they won, he could not believe it. He turned on ESPN to catch the highlights and was in shock. I will never turn off a game like that again.

Re: Did anybody go to bed and miss the end of MNF?
 

Never turn it off, no matter how bad it gets...I was there until the end and always will be.

i was too angry to goto sleep, brunell makes me angry.

Re: Did anybody go to bed and miss the end of MNF?
 

I was watching the game from work (my blood pressure was 210/120), listened to it on the way home (with a little road rage), punished myself by watching it when I got home (praying that someone would break Brunells leg) and was screaming my ass off around midnight with those great catches by Moss. I too didnt sleep much that night, pissed at Brunell and excited that we beat the Cowboys at last. Like the old saying goes, "it aint over til the fat lady sings" and boy did she sing :food-smil

Re: Did anybody go to bed and miss the end of MNF?
 

I was seriously thinking about it, I was stretched out on the coach thinking....................Oh well, and making the usual excuses for the Skins in my head when.....................BANG-Brunell drove the first of two stakes through the Boys bloodsuckin' heart. I hit my head on the ceiling. It was great!!!!!!!!!!1

Re: Did anybody go to bed and miss the end of MNF?
 

A lady I work with, whose a Dallas fan, went to bed and found out in the morning. Thanks to the post of the Moss tds she got to see what happened......priceless

Same here, I didnt go to bed till like 3 am cause I was so pumped. But I probaboly would have gone to bed around the same time if we lost cause I would have been so pissed.

Re: Did anybody go to bed and miss the end of MNF?
 

OK i'm guilty 5 am comes early and my blood pressure was rising so i said a prayer and then went upstairs and went to sleep. and even before the shower in the am found out the score and watched the rest of the game before i went to work.maybe they won cause i went to sleep :doh: ha ha ha ha :lol: :rolleyes: c'mon now . your supposed to laugh

Re: Did anybody go to bed and miss the end of MNF?
 

I was out til 11:30, so i didn't settle into watch until 6 minutes left (had a softball doubleheader at 8:15 and 9:15, where the other team had 2 portable TVs, so I got updates). Was falling asleep with about 4 minutes to go, then all hell broke loose. Woke my wife up (who had gone to sleep around 10, with the game on of course) when Taylor made his hit. I shot straight up, and she thought something was wrong...

The Sports Reporters got a few emails of next morning stories. One guy went to bed angry, woke up angry, snapped at his wife. She asked what was wrong, he mentions the Skins, and she said the paper said they won. Guy was 20 minutes late to work trying to catch up on the news.

Another guy caught shit from his Cowboys fan neighbor about the game, woke up disappointed, and got in his car to go to work, the Cowboys fan flipped him off. Once he got to work, he ran down for a paper, and found out the good news.

Re: Did anybody go to bed and miss the end of MNF?
 

Work also comes early in the morning for me, but I managed to stay awake to watch it. I certainly came very close to turning it off...for the simple reason of not wanting to have only a couple hours of sleep, be angry because my team lost, and to struggle through two jobs the next day. However, watching them win made me going through all that - minus being angry - worthwhile. ;)

Re: Did anybody go to bed and miss the end of MNF?
 

I agree! 5 a.m. is awful early!

However, I did stay up for the entire game!

:dallas: :dallas:

Re: Did anybody go to bed and miss the end of MNF?
 

I had to be at work at 6:00 a.m that morning, stayed up till about 2:30 felt like shit til all the cowboy fans who had talked smack on Monday scurried away from me like rats when I wakked in the door.

Re: Did anybody go to bed and miss the end of MNF?
 

The bigger the deficit and the more hopeless it seems, the bigger reason you have to watch. Because after all, the bigger the comeback, the bigger the story you'll have to tell your grandkids.

Never turn it off till the fat lady sings! I think I'd be pretty sad if I missed out on seeing it happen live on TV. That was one of the better games in Skins' history, and I like being able to say I saw it happen.

Re: Did anybody go to bed and miss the end of MNF?
 

I honestly wasn't as tired as what I thought I was going to be the next day! Certainly a classic! I had to make sure that I hadn't dosed off and was merely dreaming.

Me and my dad stayed up and watched it and the next day when I saw all my friends who were Dallas fans...they had gone to sleep in thinking they won like 20-0 but instead woke up to an awful suprise.

Re: Did anybody go to bed and miss the end of MNF?
 

the thought never crossed my mind. not finishing a skins game is about as likely as me saying i like the cowboys.

Re: Did anybody go to bed and miss the end of MNF?
 

it is beyond belief the amount of people i know that turned the game off, i was gonna make dvds of the last few minutes but my recorder only recorded from 9-12 which was the scheduled time but the game ended much after that so it didn't get the final four minutes, i however got the first td. I guess it was a once in a lifetime thing. I got 4 hours sleep the night before the game and went to sleep at 3 after the game and was up at 5:30 and got home around 3:30 on Tuesday and hit the sack for a long time. But during the day tuesday i didn't feel tired, it was great just shaking my head up and down at them damn dallas d-bags

Re: Did anybody go to bed and miss the end of MNF?
 

my manager stopped watching before the skins scored any points and his reaction to when I told him about the Skins raising from the dead offensively and that his boys had lost was absolutely priceless. another coworker and I r still giving him sh!+ about it, lol.

Re: Did anybody go to bed and miss the end of MNF?
 

I learned my lesson about going to bed early. I turned off TB and Indy.... I'd never turn off a Redskins game, but the game isn't over till the whistle blows!

Re: Did anybody go to bed and miss the end of MNF?
 

As I have to get up way too early to catch all of MNF, I did my usual thing... watch the first half and then tape the 2nd half to watch the next day. Boy, was I shocked to hear the sports news first thing when I woke up.. not that the Skins had won but how they had won. It was only 3-0 when I went to bed.

I watched the final 4 minutes many, many times now.. and those 2 passes by Brunell were 2 gorgeous passes. I also noted how the MNF announcers talked incessively about the Cowboys during the whole 2nd half up until that first TD to Moss. But Madden is always like that... he loves whatever team is winning and will talk 90% about that team.

Re: Did anybody go to bed and miss the end of MNF?
 

I can honestly say I watched the whole game. When we scored our first TD, I was thinking, oh well at least we finally got a touchdown, but kept quiet as I was watching from our bedroom with my wife sleeping beside me. We scored the second TD and I went bananas and she woke up and grumbled at me. Had to do some fast apologizing but the next morning she said she understood and if I ever do that again, I'll be sleeping on the couch!

Re: Did anybody go to bed and miss the end of MNF?
 

I always stay for the whole thing. Most of the time I'm a glutton for punishment, but like last monday night, sometimes it pays one millionfold, and that win was worth all of the losses I've stayed up to endure in my life. It wasn't a superbowl, but it was a real close second. I stayed up till four and got up at 7am, but I was full of energy for 2 days.

This is where its good to be out west. Going to bed is not an option. I admit, instead of sitting on the couch, watching intently, I got ready to come on here and let out my frustrations. Then they scored the first TD. That at least got my attention. But I'd be a liar, if I didn't say, well at least they "made it respectable". Then they get the ball back and I'm just ready to be tortured some more. I figured they would drive into Dallas territory with under a minute then some crap would happen. But on the 2nd play, you want to talk about an attention getter! I was going apeshit and wondering if that really just happened. Once the clock read :00, let the party begin!

Hey man I ALWAYS set my dvr to record at least 30 minutes after the game ends. I got it all! When in your settings, set it to add 30 minutes on the end!

Re: Did anybody go to bed and miss the end of MNF?
 

And to add, My mon watched the whole game and had to wake up my dad to tell him. They are in their 50s and transplants to North Carolina but Die Hards either way. I say, you should be ashamed if you didnt watch it live as I did. I get up at 6 am EST and when the Skins are playing, being tired is worth it. Remember, we only get 16 games and if they are on, I'm going to watch all of it!

Bye week hopefully heals some wounds and sees the Raiders beat the Eagles, and the 49ers beat the Cowboys....I hope...

I do the same thing, even sometimes as much as 45 to 60 minutes extra if it's an important game that I think might go extra.

Re: Did anybody go to bed and miss the end of MNF?
 

i always watch the whole game. I was gone early with our church hosting the Gulf Coast guest and watching the Saints game. I left there at the half and came home to start the TIVO. I 'caught up' (skipping commercials) early in the 3rd and was pretty TO'd at the effort thus far.

I apparently dozed off, only to awake to the cheers and commentators watching the replay of the 1st Moss TD. I rewound the TIVO and caught the rest.

So, yes I saw the comeback, but yes, I did doze off in the 3rd after a long day. Did I miss anything?

Re: Did anybody go to bed and miss the end of MNF?
 

ok guys i give and i am sorry , i will never ever do it again. come heck or high water nor late night or early morning will i go to bed before the game is over ok ? i did get to see next morning on , ( i recorded it) but i know it isn't the same. sorry guys.
