I actually think that we'll pull this one out.  Not sure why, just have a feeling.

The guy covering the game is insanely awesome and has a perfect record at the Meadowlands, so that could be it, too.

How sad is this?  This offseason especially started off so high, and now, nothing in the win column.

Hopefully that good luck charm in New York will work yet again this year.

I hope not. I feel like there is a lot more buzz (Haskins, monster defense, very storong running game) around this team going into the season then last season.

Yeah, but all of which were absent last week.  Tickets are still available for Dallas.  DALLAS!

It blows my mind.

I'm not lazy!  I'm efficient.

I like it. Succinct. Solid takes. Nice wrap-up with the team's attitude.

 

Are you going to be New Rick?

Thank you sir.  And no, can't be New Rick.  We discussed changing my name to another all-time Redskins great, Skip Hicks, but I'm not getting any support from the wife on the home front.

Unless an eye roll is support.  Then I'm set.

No Apple Snacks for you. 

Hey, at least you get your apple pie thing for free!

I voted burgundy before being reminded of the 2005 white uniforms.  I'm now for white on white, but I feel like any team could do that and so it wouldn't be Redskins-specific color rush that they're looking to ruin our eyes with.  Gold on gold would put this game on the radio for me.

Good luck, my man.  At least Bourbon Street is there.

Jesus, TSO! That while thing was fantastic. You and TK make a great team. You're like the defense and he's like the offense.

@TK I'll save you the trouble: Hi there. ?

Wonderfully written, TSO. I hope the team makes all of us who are, let's say, very aware of the injuries feel a lot better about our depth's depth's depth.

Damn, man.  Nice write up!

Before reading this it just seemed like KC was indominatable, but it seems like a poor Philly defense almost kept them in check.  Manusky seems to be about taking away the big play, and I hope that Nicholson's pick on the second play of the OAK game will make Reid think twice, along with that huge hit on Crabtree that ended his day.

I don't have much evidence of us keeping a speed back in check.  With the Rams, we were up 20-10 pretty quickly and I wonder if that limited them on the run.  I think that our best defense was a good offense in that we ran like crazy and held the ball for almost a full quarter more than they did.  If we can keep the ball out of Smith's hands, then I think we have a shot.  I think it'll really come down to committing to the run and picking up first downs.

Thank you guys for your coverage!

Thanks for all the work, TSO!

I told you no heart attack endings!!!!!!

Congrats on the win, come home safe guys.

Will you be interacting with me? That would be fun.

What is, "Things I wish my wife would say more often?"

Gotta get back to pre-game baby duty, but have an awesome time and I'll be in the GDT acting like a five-year-old as usual while keeping up with the blog!

For the record... I've only carried Murf's bags. 

 

TK snores too loud. I can't do favors for him in good conscience.

All.  Of.  The.  Yes.

Enjoy today, gents!  Hope you have the same results I had with fewer injuries/heart-pounding endings.

I ended up leaving at Halftime & kept asking Siri for score updates since TuneIn was having issues trying to stream the 980 feed. Ended up getting to my gate just as they should have started boarding. Except that the ****ing plane hadn't even landed & made it in yet. Thankfully it was only pushed back by about 15 minutes. Anyways, just got home, thinking about turning the phone off & starting Walking Dead, which thankfully I've been able to avoid spoilers for. 

Seriously?!  Definitely a terrible day in general for Redskins Nation.  

Man, they didn't get your message about the flights!  Good luck up there in all four phases:  Offense, defense, special teams, TSA.

Excellent coverage, TSO!  Wear whatever the hell you've been wearing to the next game!

Have fun out there, TSO and Spiff!

Nicely done, bro.

Agree on the theme, too.

I think we've made the playoffs every year we've won in NY the last decade save for 2011.

 

Thanks!

Great job, @NewCliche21, hope you enjoyed yourself!

It was the greatest football weekend of my life.  Ever.  I'm so grateful to have been able to do this!!!

I think he needed a wetnap a couple of times.

Couple of times per minute, you mean.

Ugh, poor JimmiJo having to cover this.  Hope it turns around REAL fast.

Hey TSO, been following you on the Vine thing (don't worry, I'm not within 200 yards of you so it's cool), but it always seems kind of dead in there.  How do they act when the away/home team does something good or bad?  Is it just decorum to be relatively silent?

That was really good, TSO!  Only part that I didn't like was setting the bar so damn high! 

Seriously though, thanks for putting the position in the description so we knew where the player was lined up until TK downgrades the ES staff from a G6 to a G5 to afford the telestrator.

Hard to get much worse.  I hope that we as fans remember that while positive yards/points/wins are nice, coaches specifically put players in tough positions in order to see if they can succeed.  I was getting a little flustered until I remembered that there's no Jordan Reed out there to keep defenses honest, no Trent Williams to keep defenses on their asses, and the center/left guard positions weren't static.
