9/11/2006: Redskins (0-0) vs. Vikings (0-0)

[jbcjr14]

Ya, if you look at the gameday program neither Portis or Springs are listed on the probable starters. I do think CP will see limited action but we definately know that Springs is not going to play.

[Darrell_Green_28]

on the gameday projected starters is has BOTH Portis and Springs as starting.. hmmm could this happen?
Washington Redskins

[CrazyCanuck]

I hate to say it but I think this is a MUST WIN for us.

LETS GO SKINS!

CC, I hear what you're saying. This isn't playoff critical, but we need to answer some questions tonight and get jump on the division. So in that regard, I totally agree with you.

Look at the Skins injury report. Springs is listed as "Out".

[VTSkins897]

it's definitely not a must win especially considering the DAL and NYG losses. i'm freakin' stoked though about tonight. 4 more hours and i can't wait! let's go redskins!!!

i almost bought tickets to the game but i had training until 530pm and wouldnt make the 2 hour haul to DC from richmond.

for all those at the game. keep it loud!!!

HTTR!!!

Anybody nervous? I always get nervous before games even though their outcomes have absolutely no impact on my life whatsoever -- aside from making me pissed off when they lose, of course.

I read recently where Joe Gibbs vomits before every game.

Does anyone else practice their dinosaur calls into the big white telephone before a Redskins game?

[12thMan]

I'm nervous as all get out. I just want our guys to come out with some intensity.

This is a game they should win, but can easily lose if they underestimate Minnesota. And if they lose, the critism of Saunder's offense and our off season aquisitions are almost certain to ensue.

Oh good lord, you're right about that. If the Skins lose tonight everyone in football America will have us right next to the Packers for the 2nd pick in the draft next spring.

You can bank on that.

I'll go a step further and say if we dare struggle with Minnesota tonight, you'll see threads by o'dark thirty on this web site as to why this and why that?

I actually expect somewhat of a struggle tonight. I still think the Redskins will win, but it'll probably be ugly. Both of the opening games in the new Gibbs era have been that way, and with a new offense I don't think this one will be any different. And yeah, I'll be one of the ones bitching and offering my comments as to why.

By the way, did anyone hear Eric Allen on the Colin Cowherd show on ESPN Radio today? Allen doesn't think the Redskins will be as good "with the same offense that they ran last year."

Too funny. You'd think with as much spare time as Eric Allen has blabbing about something he's paid to know about, he would keep up with current events and realize that it is, in fact, a different offense for the Redskins this year.

[NM Redskin]

2.5 hours left!!!!! Ahhhhhh! Anyone got a time machine?

It amazes me how little most of these guys really know. Which goes to show that the local media and forums, such as ours, are much more informed. And I'll be the one to start the thread at 0'dark thirty about the our offense if the Skins don't put a good can of whoop ass on the Vikes.

[dmek25]

the first new thread after the game( if the skins lose) will be " brunell is finished, time for j campbell"

[CanadianSkin]

Two hours to go.. Been sitting here all day in my Portis Jersey I just got, I can not wait. I am heading to a local pub here for 30 min before game time. Go Skins!!!!


Hail.... Lets start this season off 1-0 baby.
