Rypien1191 Posted December 24, 2010 Share Posted December 24, 2010 "Good ol' days" is a bit tongue in cheek, but I was at this game and it was still one of the best experiences I've had at fedex. A total beating from start to finish. Came across this gem on youtube today and it didn't have too many views. Has the whole game with the Redskins broadcast (Larry Michael). Amazing how much better we were then. Couple of my favorite segments, right before and right after the half when we went from 14-0 to 35-0.: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BKpI32vJ7Og&feature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nN-D9tIMxwg&feature=related Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMOSS89 Posted December 24, 2010 Share Posted December 24, 2010 It's sad when the "good o' days" is 2005. But for me, with my age being what it is, it's true. Sad stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SonOfWashington Posted December 24, 2010 Share Posted December 24, 2010 Thanks for posting. I didn't get a chance to watch this whole game so I might just have to now. Ahhh, good ol' John Hall. Say, what's he up to these days? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigjumbo1971 Posted December 24, 2010 Share Posted December 24, 2010 Parcells was 77-0 when leading by 13 in the 4th quarter...thats impressive the man could close a team out...but I guess now he's 77-1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't call this mediocre - this was probably our best team since 2000.... won a playoff game and could have made it to the NFC championship if not for John Hall botching that FG in Seattle.

I'm actually pretty sure the game was lost when Rogers dropped a pick that would've easily been a pick 6, and made the game 10-0. I was in that stadium, and it was dead for over a quarter, if we had been up 10-0...well... As for this game it was terrible for all but the end. What an end...but I don't think I need to rewatch 3/4's of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thebluefood Posted December 24, 2010 Share Posted December 24, 2010 To hell with that. Those WERE the good old days for me. We went to the second round of the playoffs for the second time in my life that year. That was a great time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Califan007 The Constipated Posted December 24, 2010 Share Posted December 24, 2010 When was 05 good ol days?? Its memorable but simply another year of mediocrity to me. Can't wait for this new era to begin. The franchise receiving record was broken. The franchise rushing record was broken. We witnessed an incredible come-from-behind win against the Cowboys in prime time. We witnessed an absolute demolition of the Cowboys with a playoff spot on the line. A 5-game winning streak was achieved with a playoff spot on the line. Sean Taylor played his ever-loving ass off down the stretch with a playoff birth and a wildcard win on the line. We went 10-2 in the conference. We beat all three division rivals in the last three games of the season...again, with the playoffs on the line. And all of this was with the legendary Joe Gibbs on the sidelines directing the whole thing. I'm not sure how that translates to "mediocre". Disappointed that we couldn't go further in the playoffs? Definitely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gibbs Hog Heaven Posted December 24, 2010 Share Posted December 24, 2010 Was that the late one we held the clowns to ONE yard rushing in 60 minutes football? Or am I getting GibbsII late season play off runs mixed up? Hail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And thinking on it, I believe it was as they left their starters in well into the third quarter surprisingly, which made the ass whooping all the sweeter. Hail.

Definitely. Dont forget, that because of that screw job in the Tampa Bay game, we finished 10-6. If the refs made the correct call that day or in the Denver game we would have finished 11-5, which was good enough that season for the NFC East crown and a first round bye as the #2 seed. (since our record was the same as the Bears and the Skins beat them on week 1) I have always wondered if the team could have made it further if they had that first round bye cause that team was hurting bad during that push.

RANSKINS98 Posted December 24, 2010 Share Posted December 24, 2010 I remember this game it was my first game at fed ex, best experience of my life, I remember the "hey you suck chant", singing our fight song, I remeber being close to the field it was like row 13 which was sooo sweet, I remember jaring with some cowboy fans, I remember screaming so hard my head would hurt everyone around was so pumped. I love the experence I just wish we got there earlier so I could have checked out a reskins shop or something it was crazy packed. I hope to go again one day its just hard living in New Mexico. P.S. oh yea the riding the subway that underground station at night was super scary, I was almost certain me and my girl were gonna get robbed glad it didn't happen we looked like total tourist that night with all our redskins gear on and shopping bags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gigantor Posted December 25, 2010 Share Posted December 25, 2010 That is one of my favorite games ever, it was soo sweet to beat Parcels and the cowgirls all at once. I miss Sean Taylor! I truly believe if he hadn't been murdered we would of... Hail Merry Christmas! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoCalMike Posted December 25, 2010 Share Posted December 25, 2010 There is no way you can say 2005 wasn't a great season. I think what was disappointing was the fact that it didn't end up being a building block towards another championship. 2005 was really Brunell's last hurrah, and we haven't had a solid QB at the position since. I mean yeah we have McNabb who's resume is solid....but, well...lets save that discussion for another thread. 2007's quick exit from the playoffs was a sign to rebuild, but this franchise has seemingly been trying to win with what is left from the Gibbs 2.0 era.

respectgibbs Posted December 25, 2010 Share Posted December 25, 2010 People seriously need to start respecting Gibbs. Jesus christ. We owe EVERYTHING to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoCalMike Posted December 25, 2010 Share Posted December 25, 2010 2005 felt a lot like a repeat of 1999. It felt like we had a team that could have, and probably should have gone farther than they did, but at the end of the game we all at least felt it was the beginning of a run....and well...we know what happened next.

hailtotheskins69 Posted December 25, 2010 Share Posted December 25, 2010 Now THAT was a beautiful football game. I was 16 when this game was played and I still remember everything about it. Such a fun game to watch! I really hope we can win like that CONSISTENTLY in the near future... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
