Baculus Posted September 13, 2006 Share Posted September 13, 2006 Before the game started, I turned to my gf and said, "I hate when we play on Monday night." We just don't seem to fare that well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LaRou Posted September 13, 2006 Author Share Posted September 13, 2006 Yeah, i hate Monday nights. We always lose. Just like last year at Dallas? How quickly we forget... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SC3 Posted September 13, 2006 Share Posted September 13, 2006 Generally we aren't good on Monday nights. Of course who could forget 2005 MNF at Dallas. The only other Monday night victory I can remember in recent times is when Jeff George led the Redskins to beat the Rams in St. Louis in 2000.

You're forgetting Spurrier's MNF debut against the Jets in 2003. Oh, and Hall won that game for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKINZ33 Posted September 13, 2006 Share Posted September 13, 2006 Just like last year at Dallas? How quickly we forget... You beat me to it. People are fascinated by the skins whether they want to admit it or not. Whether its good media coverage or bad, it gives people who aren't normally skins fans a reason to watch. Besides, how can you not help but watch one of the few storied franchises in the NFL? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trez Posted September 13, 2006 Share Posted September 13, 2006 The new MNF team is terrible, IMHO. I'll be listening to MNF without sound from here on out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Henry Posted September 13, 2006 Share Posted September 13, 2006 Well, to the neutral observer it was a good, hard-fought, close game with a nail-biter ending. Can't ask for more than that from your season opener if you're ESPN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaRou Posted September 13, 2006 Author Share Posted September 13, 2006 we opened up on thursday nite that year, not monday.... You're right. My bad. But it was a prime time game. I agree that the MNF crew stinks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
