Good job tonight beating those Cowboys. :tu

Re: Hail To The Redskins!!
 

Uuuuuuuugly, but a win is a win.

Re: Hail To The Redskins!!
 

Ugly... but they would have lost that game last year!...

Go SKINS!

Re: Hail To The Redskins!!
 

Hey, if the D can play that well all year, we'll be in every game, even the ones the O only scores 6 points in...

Re: Hail To The Redskins!!
 

Don't know if I can take an entire season of games like that--my poor heart....

Overall, I liked a good bit of what I saw last night. The play calling on both sides of the ball was consistently good, Trent Williams is a beast, McNabb is still mobile, the D is still "The D!", Portis has staying power (much better in the second half,) and our place kicker is accurate if the snap is good :rolleyes: Now if we could only do something about our punter and find some WRs who could catch, we might put it all together!

Re: Hail To The Redskins!!
 

I'm just happy we're off to a "good" start. I win is a win!

Re: Hail To The Redskins!!
 

Congrats on the win. Congrats on watching the national media Super Bowl favorite Dallas Cowchumps lose on the road to Washington.

Re: Hail To The Redskins!!
 

It did seem that Chris C. was "rooting" for the Cowboys. Always kept saying: "Now the tide is turning towards the Cowboys." As if that were a given.

Re: Hail To The Redskins!!
 

I'll take the win even though it was ugly.

Re: Hail To The Redskins!!
 

Well done guys...I'm not a huge cowboy fan.

Re: Hail To The Redskins!!
 

Pretty excited for this year and the start of the Shanahan/McNabb era! It'll be even more fun to stomp the Eagles!!

Re: Hail To The Redskins!!
 

WTF was that? The Rams? THE RAMS???????!!!!! :bh

Re: Hail To The Redskins!!
 

A 14pt spot in the 1Q wasn't exactly the best start. The Moss fumble really hurt.

Re: Hail To The Redskins!!
 

Not doing too shabby at this point. 3-2 and 2-0 in the division is not something I would argue with, especially with the way the league is looking this year. No truly dominant teams, looks like it's really open to anyone.

Re: Hail To The Redskins!!
 

Nice to be in a winning season again, and lets face it there one loss in OT they could have and should have won that game

Re: Hail To The Redskins!!
 

Good news! My cousin just got picked up by the Redskins.

Hopefully he'll make it on the roster and give C. Portis some help.

Re: Hail To The Redskins!!
 

Ade, that's cool! Hope he does well--for him AND for the Skins!

Re: Hail To The Redskins!!
 

Kick ass! Skins definitely need help at RB...

Re: Hail To The Redskins!!
 

Somebody check my blood pressure....stat!

Re: Hail To The Redskins!!
 

They put up a good fight. It was nice to see special teams making some plays and setting up the offense. It would have been nice to steal a win there.

Re: Hail To The Redskins!!
 

Best of luck to him!

Re: Hail To The Redskins!!
 

Wow do we suck right now. This has to be the worst 1st quarter ever!!!

Re: Hail To The Redskins!!
 

Re: Hail To The Redskins!!
 

Always cool to have someone you know playing pro sports, especially family. I've had two people I went to school with make the MLB, a guy from my high school make the Carolina Panthers team, and a kid from the school I work at make the Jets team. Family is even cooler!:tu Best of luck to him!:noon

Re: Hail To The Redskins!!
 

I love the skins, but dear god they are inconsistent. One week untouchable, then the next jokes. Curious to see if they will pick up McNabb's contract at year end... One side its a long time with a lot guarenteed, on the other, they have the money to spend, and who would replace him?

Re: Hail To The Redskins!!
 

I love this column

If anyone needed more ammunition to hate Dan Snyder, here it is:

For those of us who hate him, here's a wonderful column. Make sure to follow the embedded link to the original City Paper piece from November that prompted Snyder's asinine lawsuit:

And Snyder offers more ammunition...

Re: Hail To The Redskins!!
 

About time for a thread revival!!!

Hail to the Redskins!!!

Any thoughts about which third string quarter back will start first string for us this year?

Re: Hail To The Redskins!!
 

I can't belive that I'll be rooting for Grossman... so sad:sl

Re: Hail To The Redskins!!
 

Hope springs eternal.......

Re: Hail To The Redskins!!
 

:tpd:

Re: Hail To The Redskins!!
 

I turned them down when they called me for season tickets last year. Been on that waiting list about 8-9 years. I told them I won't spend another dime on this team until the a$$hat owner proves that he can get his act together and stop running the organization like it's a fantasy team.

Re: Hail To The Redskins!!
 

Saw some encouraging things in preseason, even the local press has been relatively favorable about the coaching scheme & team chemistry so far. Let's see if they can pull it off in the opener tomorrow--probably gonna be emotional at the start, with all the 9/11 tributes they have planned pre-game.

Re: Hail To The Redskins!!
 

Well that was the start we wanted to see!

Re: Hail To The Redskins!!
 

Absolutely! I was very impressed by the defense! Grossman wasn't too bad either.

Re: Hail To The Redskins!!
 

:noon:noon:noon:noon:noon

Re: Hail To The Redskins!!
 

Well they actually pulled ou the win against NY, I am very happy!
Grossman got extremely lucky on a couple bad passes that didn't get picked.
He will do well if he can keep from thowing picks.
Also if our O-line can protect him. I was very impressed with our 3rd & 4th down D!
Exciting season, havn't been excited in a few years. Our players seem to be playing as a team. And that tip six the rookie pulled off was magical. I hate Eli!

Re: Hail To The Redskins!!
 

Awesome divisional win!

Re: Hail To The Redskins!!
 

Yup, that was a huge way to start the season!
I think they said the Giants had won our last 5 straight matchups?

Re: Hail To The Redskins!!
 

I don't think it'll last but for at least one week it brought a smile to my face:D

Re: Hail To The Redskins!!
 

Well last night was a huge dissapointment!
I don't think Grossman has the consistency to be a starter in this league.
He is not terrible but he makes terrible mistakes.
I think we have a better team right now in every aspect than we have had for years, we just need a GOOD QB!

Re: Hail To The Redskins!!
 

Yeah its a shame that we only have two 3rd string quarterbacks. Bring Doug Williams back!!!

Re: Hail To The Redskins!!
 

Not looking good for the Skins' when the Cowboys can make that many mistakes and still win.....ugly but a NFC East win!!! Go Pokes!

Re: Hail To The Redskins!!
 

Grossman has had 2 - 1000 yard passing seasons. 2. Yeah, I would say the Redskins could use a little help in that area.

Re: Hail To The Redskins!!
 

Well we held the lead and secured the win, but it was scary. Grossman is just not the answer. I am so impressed with the rest of our team, but Grossman scares the chit out of me when the game is on the line. Maybe he will become consistent over the bye week?:r

I look forward to playing the Eagles:tu

Re: Hail To The Redskins!!
 

In the 4Q I had just texted a buddy of mine saying, "It's Dallas all over again," when the announcers started picking up that same vibe: stupid defensive mistakes, bonehead penalties, Rex's inconsistency.... fortunately they hung on and we got the W :banger but it really should not have been that dicey.

And as a bonus we got to enjoy the tail end of the Dallas-Detroit! game :noon:noon

Re: Hail To The Redskins!!
 

What a great bye week, NY & the Eagles both loose!
Couldn't have been beter!
We should be able to beat the Eagles this week as long as Vick doesn't rush for 200 yards.
And Grossman needs to put up some early points and keep scoring as opposed to last week when they just stalled on offense.

Re: Hail To The Redskins!!
 

What a bad football Sunday!
Damn eagles. Only positive is the Skins had enough common sense to pull Grossman!
