GhostofSparta Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 No help today with the Bears cruising. Let's face it, we all knew it wasn't going to happen any other way. 1 in a row or we don't go! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 I've been approaching things that way, for over a month. My focus, since at least Thanksgiving, has been: Either we win the division, Or we don't. I don't even care what happens, when we win the division. If we get blown out in our first playoff game, well, I won't be happy about it. But a week after the game, I'll be a happy fan. I'll have positive memories of this season. And I'll be optimistic about the next one. My focus, my target, for this team, has been winning the NFCE. And, up till now, we've done exactly what we should have done. We've put ourselves into a position where whether we achieve that goal, or not, is up to us. We get to chose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jumbo Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 Were on our own boys and girls. That's the way it should be for real winners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SWFLSkins Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 That's the way it should be for real winners. And not battling officials..... Per a Rich Tandler tweet.... http://www.realredskins.com/rich-tandlers-real-redsk/2012/12/redskins-cowboys-minute-by-minute-blog.html Walt Anderson is the referee -6:20--The referee for tonight’s game will the Walt Anderson, who has been officiating games since 2000 and has been a referee since 2003. His crew officiated last years season ending, winner take all game between the Cowboys and Giants. The last Redskins game Anderson worked was their 2010 win in Chicago, DeAngelo Hall’s four-interception game. It seems like his crew lets them play. They have called double digit penalties on one team three times in 12 games this year. They have called five or fewer infractions on a team 13 times (some doubling up there with games where five or fewer called against both teams.

Jacoah Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 Am I the only one who doesn't care about any of the other games being played, today? You are likely one of the very few; however, every one of us should have known that it would come down to tonight's game. And I've got a bad case of butterflies. LET'S GO SKINS! ---------- Post added December-30th-2012 at 02:29 PM ---------- Dear god the giants knocking on the door again just before halftime. :doh: EDIT: 35-7 Gnats with :04 left in the second.

Jumbo you know I hate blaming it on bad calls and have said as much in the GD threads, but I was relieved to not see Hoc on the tab. ---------- Post added December-30th-2012 at 02:35 PM ---------- BTW if the Bears win the Giants are automatically eliminated for the wild card, so there's that. The Skins win, The Bears win and the Cowboys and the Giants are done. Sounds better than counting on someone else to set your destiny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jumbo Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 It's been way worse for me this year to have a devout (and intelligent) cowboy fan in my circle these days. The problem is I really like the guy and think he's a good man for my niece and her kids, but it really crimps my cowboy hating and having (I feel) to be polite at times when he's being a perfectly reasonable and quite acceptable football fan taking about his team. ****. It's really bad re: today. It's juts another reason we need to win! Then I can be gracious. Unless Romo sits to pee throws 5 INTs. Then I'll be a little mean.

TD_washingtonredskins Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 So, who do you guys think will be the unexpected stars? If someone steps up to fetch us a division title, he will be a folk hero around here for quite some time! I am going with Crawford. I think he will get a pick and have a couple nice returns.

SWFLSkins Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 My nephew is a Cowboys fan and played in HS, we coached flag together and designed plays. He knows his x's and o's. Don't know if I want to talk to him today, lol. He has hung with them since he was a kid, only 23 now. I really like him, but I hope he is miserable today, tonight and tomorrow. hahhaaaaa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Year_of_The_Monk Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 I think there was a post up here that said it best " 7 in a row or we won't go." It held true then and holds true now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TSO Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 That's the way it should be for real winners. I think if we want to do anything in the playoffs we have to win this game either way. A loss and us still making the playoffs would only serve to postpone the inevitable in my mind. We win... and we go into the playoffs the hottest team in football with the most playoff experience than anyone else since we've been in the playoffs since the bye week. We win, and we go into the playoffs knowing it was all on the line against a division rival on a national stage for the division title and a playoff birth and we won. How much more proof would we then need to be confident moving forward? We could accomplish anything, then, and the players/coaches would need no more evidence.

I also believe that these past few weeks and the attention that built all week will benefit us. When we get to the point of the season next year when we are playing meaningful games, we have this experience to draw upon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
