Happy Holidays to you and your fam, btw.

Sorry, I had a nice big party over here watching the game. Too busy with vodka and teasing the one vikings fan here.

So what happened that you needed to have your back covered?

BTW- does anyone know if Hawaii is on a time delay when it comes to televised games??? I will be going on a pearl harbor excursion during the NFC championship game, and if the skins are in it, I need to find a way to watch it. Any suggestions?

There won't be a delay in Hawai'i. Just find a bar or sit in your hotel room. I'll keep my fingers crossed!

CRAP! That's not good. I wonder if I can pay the concierge to tape it for me or something...maybe they have a DVR or something.

I really don't feel like taking the highroad, but I don't remember who the idiots were claiming that mathematical probabily meant less than their own gut feelings, so I can't call anyone out.

And I may have been wrong about Collins, as I did start that Tim Rattay thread in the offseason.

I distinctly remember several people chuckling and essentially saying "anyone who thinks that the Redskins can or will make the playoffs is delusional."

And I wouldn't beat yourself up over Collins. Who would've thought that a 36 y.o. QB who hadn't started a game in a decade and who was the 3rd stringer last year would be so good? Even Collins' supporters weren't so optimistic (or what turned out to be realistic).

collins did look good this pre-season though

I'm going to take the high road here. I could write a list of people (a long list mind you) that gave up on this team, and some that made threads about our demise, but instead of dwelling on that, I am inviting everyone to enjoy where we are RIGHT NOW. We have a chance to make the playoffs with only 1 more win. Win and you're in. It doesn't get much better than this. For as corny as this sounds, let's all join together and enjoy this as a whole as only we can do as the best fans on the planet.
I forgo any grudges I have on posters here that have been less than optimistic, and I look forward to ALL OF US enjoying a victory over hated Dallas to get into the playoffs. Who's with me?

Nothing says "taking the high road" like a passive-aggressive "I told you so, nah nah nah" thread.

[firstdown]

Well I have said several times in the past weeks how I could not understand how people could come here, post all week, talk about being a big fan, etc... etc... then when we have the "Pick the Winner thread" they pick the other team to win. I just will never get that because I have enough faith even when we are really playing poor that we can win the game.

Have you guys ever wondered why teams from lower seeds often make it to the conference championship game if not the Super Bowl? It's often because their teams are having to finish strong just to make it into the playoffs, while the upper seeds usually clinch playoff spots by week 11, and kind of start drifting toward the finish line. In the case of the Redskins, if they can beat Dallas this weekend and make it in, they might have the advantage over the other teams. They are finishing strong and are red hot right now. In fact, everything seems to be working exactly the way it was meant to be. We can probably credit a lot of that to Todd Collins, but the team as a whole appears to have stepped it up a couple of notches.

Back ups or not, can you just imagine what this team will feel like if they dominate Dallas like they did Minnesota?

I hate to say it, but I'm very nervous about this game. Man if we come out flat, we're done. I don't care who Dallas lines up. We've got to set the tone from the kick-off.
