Keep paging yourself over the intercom, don't disguise your voice!

I hate BYES, especially this early in the season. However we have a few guys hurt already and it would be nice to get them back healthy. Guys like Hall, and Nobel and Jansen. However if the Skins lose tonight it will be a very long bye week. I mean how great will a Dallas victory in Dallas and two weeks to savor it feel. Man, I hope the Skins win tonight! The only thing that helps tonight, is I will watch the Giants/Saints game for a little while first and not all of the pre-game hype, which would just make me more nervous and uptight anyway. I can pull for "AMERICA's TEAM", New Orleans, for and hour an a half and not the other team that likes to calls themselves America's team.

yeah that's pretty much how it went down:

"JAN. 1979
Dallas completes their 13rd consecutive winning season, and enters into their record 5th Super Bowl. AND Pittsburgh beats Dallas, 35-31, in Super Bowl XIII. After the 1978 season, Bob Ryan, NFL films editor, names the Cowboys "America's team"."

I extended my vacation an extra day just because I knew I wouldn't be able to concentrate worth a sh**T today!

[That Guy]

i kinda wish the QB change happened a couple days later, it'd give me something to do besides sit around until class starts...

[12thMan]

man, I think I'm gonna have to get out of this house and get a brew or two, or three....just until the game starts, of course!

I Like The Idea Of Paging Yourself Over The Intercom Without Throwing Off Your Voice. But I Think I Like Sitting On The Side Of The Road Pointing A Hairdryer At Cars And Watching Them Slow Down Better.

Less than eight hours...arrgh!

This is the biggest thumb twiddling day I can imagine. Counting the minutes until kickoff.

The more I think about it the more I can't help but think of how HUGE of a game this is for us.

We really need to get this monkey off our backs... to beat Dallas in Dallas would be a huge step forward.

Then there's the issue of division games, we need to start winning these if we're going to even start thinking about challenging the Eagles for the division.

We need this game, bad. Gibbs needs it and dammit we the fans need it!

I think it's time for one of those famous Gibbs' speeches where he tells the team if you have anything left to give the Redskins you need to give it tonight!

But as you said, it's a divisional game...plus we've already beaten the Bears - two NFC teams back-to-back.

One or two more conference wins last year and we're a wildcard team.

It's not like there's any pressure here or anything!
