NoCalMike Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 I sort of feel the Cardinals game showed more of what the team's true character is. The Giants game will be considered the bigger win, due to being a division game, but the fact is the Cardinals had us on the ropes a whole lot more than anytime the Giants did once we tied that game up 14-14. In year's past I could have pointed to several times during the Cardinals game where the team would have folded. Rex recovered from a very shaky 1st quarter to put up decent stats. Once were down 8, with a little over 10mins to go my head was hanging low. I had the "oh no here we go again" knot in my stomach, however the 'Skins showed me something today I haven't seen in awhile. They took the game back played with a lot of heart, and snatched that victory back. We have to face reality, with a team in Year 2 of building a new identity, there will be games like this where we dominate the stats, but due to mistakes we are either barely winning or even down. What I like is that this team doesn't quit, and I am finally getting the feeling that as long as it is a one possession game, we are never out of it, even being down in the 4th quarter. Also, I think something that is evident is that Rex Grossman is comfortable in this system. He doesn't seem bothered by mistakes, and the coaches don't seem to ever feel the need to put a leash on him following a bad series or a turnover. This is an incredible asset moving forward.

Zazzaro703 Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 I hope this time next Monday night we are talking about how awesome it was that the Rams beat Giants last Monday, and then Giant's beat Eagles and of course Skins beat Dallas to be 3-0 while everyone else is 1-2. It feels good to hear announcers talking about how well Bruce Allen drafted. Ryan Kerrigan might end on par with Orakpo. Not to mention Helu looked fantastic out there too. No way Torrain sees the field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mudhog Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 We will win the division when we keep playing with the confidence we had even when we are down.And when Helu keeps lightin chumps up.HTTR Helu was a monster today. It's always nice to air it out but when you get it on the ground, now that's football. God love you Shanny, for bringing back the run to D.C. It will be a great week. Sun, a little brighter. Food tastes better. Life is great for the next 6 days. Hail Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mudhog Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 Don't look now but Romo sits to pee has 2 fractured ribs (will be clarified tomorrow with MRI), Felix Jones has separated shoulder, and Miles Austin tweaked his hammy. Austin & Jones are reported to be out for awhile, and I'd imagine if Romo sits to pee has 2 fractured ribs, he will not be playing.This by no means guarantees a win, this is afterall a rivalry that has some of the most ridiculous results, however if all three of those players end up not playing, you can't say it doesn't help our chances of going 3-0. Never rooting for injuries, but they are a part of the game and once they happen you have to still go down and beat a team with backups that are trying just as hard. No doubt. Last time we were going into a girls game with Homo out, Kitna picked us apart. Sneaky bas*****! They are like the sci-fi beasts in the movies. You gotta kill e'm, then douse e'm in diesel and set e'm on fire. Then you have to stand there and watch e'm turn to ash before they crawl off and reanimate!

Mr. Nostril Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 Too bad we didn't cover. I'm ecstatic that we're 2-0, but I still lost money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rpredskins Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 1-1 in the next 2 games (i think we can definitely win both but one seems probable) means 3-1 hosting Philly after the bye. Thats already game of the week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TSO Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 Are we dreaming? This is almost surreal for me right now. I'm so happy... I really feel like we have a team that is already good and will keep getting better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gamecokskins703 Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 the best part about this, is that our defense, as fun as it is to watch.. is still missing our star player Laron Landry. i LITERALLY cant wait untill he gets on the field, and am praying to god he gets to take his first victims against the Cowpukes this weekend.

Redskins4ever Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 I'm very proud of our team. They deserve to be in the division lead right now. But it's a long season. Maybe they'll hang on to the division lead all season. Maybe they will slip a little and lose the top standing to Philly or NYG, but then regain their top standing later in the season. Who knows what will happen. But I like where they are right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rodriggo Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 Skins are doing what they have to do. Still not a great team but they needed to start 2-0 to have a chance at the playoffs and they have. FIRST PLACE! YEAH! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stadium-Armory Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 Interestingly, we've given up 35 points in 2 games, while the Eagles and Cowboys have given up 48 and 51 points respectively. Lets hear it for some D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GucciManSantana Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 Guys...what are you all talking about? This isn't right because we didn't draft a qb or trade for an aging veteran. We are suppose to only win 2 games this season....I hate the (cowboys) media. I can't wait to see our skins stomp those cryboys into the turf on MNF!

Gibbs Hog Heaven Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 "You gonna eat yo corn bread?" I can't wait to see this happen to Romo sits to pee next week! I wonder what the total over/under will be set at on sacks next Monday. I'm thinking it could well be a high sack game for both teams. Hail.

LD0506 Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 Not too concerned on the standings (it's early, nice but not that relevant), but I do like the 3rd down % and the small # of penalties so far, those are more significant in the long run.
