Late in the 3rd quarter she turned to me, happy and proud "I saw the ball during the whole play for the first time today!", but she loved it, even with these lazy so called redskins fans the atmosphere was awesome!

Glad you had a good time! My wife and I were wondering: were they giving out Bengals gear? It seemed like a TON of Bengals fans weirdly enough.

They put bengals flags on every single seat of the stadium, and shot bengals t-shirts in the stands during the game.

I'm also guessing people without a favorite team yet would buy gear from the "home" team at the stadium nfl shop or one of the stadium gameday gear shops.

-My voice is broken because redskins fans in London were lazy as f*ck, had to call them out every 3rd down, guys with redskins gear all over their bodies quietly sitting on critical 3rd downs... drove me crazy. I'm starving to attend a game in DC now...

-With the only other "active" redskins fan in my block, we didn't hear the timeout called, we were making fools of ourselves taking a victory selfie singing HTTR...

Positives:

-Now that I witnessed, live, a non-win by this team in the most redskinish way possible, I guess I'm a true fan? Anyway, that was awesome.

-This team is looking great. We have the weapons to win this division, we still may. 546 total yards is really good, on the road, against a not so bad D, hats off.

-IMO Josh Norman actually had a good game. He made an incredible play on AJ Green on a long ball (the one where he seemed to have reinjuried his wrist), he should have had a pick, he often was right in AJ's face on some catches... If you consider he was concussed LAST WEEK, his wrist is weakened, and refs were after him I'd say he had the best game he could have.

-Defense did a really good job, first half was outstanding, held their offense well under 100yards. 2nd half was more difficult, cincy obviously made some efficient adjustments, but our D delivered on crucial moments.

Glad you got to see a worthwhile game...Sorry the ref's were so frieking biased. I have a feeling that tie (non-loss) is gonna end up in our favor somehow.

We still have half a season to play, but you get to savor the memories forever!

Hail!

We can still win 12 games. 12-3-1 should get us in to the playoffs.

just maybe

My glass is half full today.

Wasn't perfect but I'm proud of the team. We fought hard. We look like a playoff team or something very close. Just gotta keep grinding and improving. We're on the right track.

Now to the refs - what a complete clown show out there. Head missiles and blatant facemasks go uncalled but somehow they're all over the ticky tack 5 yard penalties like a librarian chasing down an overdue book. Not to mention the Bengals are the dirtiest team in the league. Only Fisher's filthy Rams come close. One point the penalties were 10-2 against us. Total joke - refs should be ashamed.

Yop, I'm watching the game so I'll find them precisely but I can remember at least two more late hits or hits on a defenseless receiver that weren't called...

It was really funny scanning the crowd for different jerseys. Alot of people wearing different teams apparel. Did anybody see the guy with the Skins scarf and hat in the bengal costume? Wtf? It seemed more like an American Football Parade than a game. Lol
Edit : though it was actually a really great game.

Thought it was highly entertaining to see the most popular jerseys overseas.

I believe number one was Brady.

"Hmmm, NFL jerseys. He's good. I should buy it." LOL.

Yeah, OBJ too. Guess news that he is a Giant D-Bag hasn't made it overseas yet.

Ahh, very true. Thanks for the info!

Cutting a good kicker for missing a FG? Seriously? I'm so glad people aren't coaching or GM of this team. I certainly believe that a team should have accountability, but you don't cut or even bench a guy for one mistake on the field. Hell, it's taken Matt Jones this long before I called for his benching.(and not even cutting)

This team showed it isn't bad, but it's also shown it can't suffer many mistakes and still win.

We wouldn't have a team left by week 3 if the fans made personnel decisions.

Was just looking up Lanier - not much on the guy. Small school prospect, college free agent. The only actual site saying anything about him said: good intangibles (leader, hard working, good motor); good athlete but too lean - would need to bulk up to stick around. Anthony Lanier - NFL Draft 2016 Player Scouting Reports and Ratings and Fantasy Football Reports for Washington Redskins Rookies - SMSG News Agency

His combine height weight are listed as 6' 6" / 260 Anthony Lanier | Washington Redskins
Skins list him at 6' 6" / 282 Redskins.com | Players

Just FYI.
Who knows, sounds like a Scott McCloughan kind of guy.
