Re: Best Redskin Game of 2012?

I'm stunned you'd pick four games and not one of them would be the home/season finale against our hated rivals giving us our first division title in 13 years.

It's like asking someone what their favorite Star Wars movie is and leaving out Empire Strikes Back as an option.

Or favorite Jackson Five member and no mention of Michael.

I put it up as an option, maybe we can get a poll with it as well.

But I will respectfully disagree with that being the best game overall last year. The only reason fans liked this game was because of the factors or the game and what was at stake. But if you look at it as just a game, it wasn't that good as other games. If you love the ground game, and depleted football teams (Bryant was injured, Austin was injured, Dallas didn't have either MLB, Ware had no shoulder, RG3 had no knee) going at it and it being rivals, yeah then it was a great game. I love games that have big plays, TD passes with some rushing TDs, and both teams playing at full strength so theres no excuses of "well so and so wasn't healthy.."

To use your star wars example, I left out Attack of the Clones or Phantom Menace. Or I left out Marlon Jackson.

Who cares about who was hurt? That's never a legitimate excuse in sports. The best game in my opinion is defined by what's on the line, what's at stake. My vote would be a the last game against DAL. That win incorporated the win against NYG in a sense (division title).

I see. Well in that case, the Bengals game was a hell of a game. As was the 1st Giants game. Though I give a slight nod to the Bengals game. Unfortunately we lost both

I just commented on that. The Bengals game would have been the winner if we had won.

Those were both good games, but obviously a win is better than a loss.

Speaking of that bengals game, Mohamed Sanu (a former QB) the first play of the game threw a bomb down the sideline to AJ Green. I think that being that Jordan Reed was a former QB, I think we will see him line up in the backfield this year and throw a bomb to one of our WRs much like Sanu did to us last year last year.
