They have a very good defense and we were without our top 2 WRs and our pass catching TE and still pulled it out. It was a great game. We never win those and we did. 4-2 with another 2 monkeys off our back. This was big. We just dominated dallas's run game. That's huge. When's the last time that could happen?

COWBOY-KILLA- Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 The D came to play..BiG Big credit to those guys and coaches. AP was a beast. Doctson made an appearance. Still too little Reed. Still waiting on Alex to get comfy, it looks like it comes in spurts. The OL did there jobs today, very well. All in all Gruden got it done. The Redskins got it done. It wasn’t pretty but we controlled the game throughout, and got a Division win, which is huge. Oh and we are in first place. Very proud of the team for coming out and looking focused and ready to win. They fought A hard defensive battle, and got it done. HTTR!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malapropismic Depository Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 Considering how much more stock Snyder puts into beating Dallas, than anything else, I think Jay earned himself an additional 5-year extension with today's win.

The sewer gutter of the board where the worst trash piles up. They don't enjoy the game day experience and they refuse to let anyone else enjoy it. That's not entirely true IMO. It can get bogged down with negativity, but there is positivity as well (maybe not as much). I really enjoy the raw, immediate, emotional responses over every play. Sure, it's almost banal to proclaim that "WE SUCK!!!!" after one missed throw or tackle, but it makes me smile. It shows that people really do care about the outcome. I don't actually know one other Redskins fan and the few football-loving friends that I do have live too far away for us to watch games together regularly, so I usually end up watching alone. The game-day thread, for all of it's faults, helps me feel connected to like-minded people in some way. That probably sounds a bit more sad than it actually is, I do have many friends, but most are just not interested in football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cooleyfan1993 Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 @London Kev i agree with you about the gameday threads. I love these ever since I became a fan, i would watch the games at home, and I follow the thread at the same time. Posts are hilarious (when we’re winning especially). Then back when i was away at school i didn’t get most of the games, so I’d follow play by play on nfl.com while also reading comments here to get a sense of how a play went or what exactly would happen throughout the game. Like you, i also feel connected with fellow skins fans by reading the thread for each game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cooleyfan1993 Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 Anyone else catch that Chris Baker was at the game yesterday? I had no idea the dude wasn’t even on a team...and even then, what made him want to go to the game in the first place? Isn’t this like almost a completely different roster of guys than the ones he knew from his time here? Just seems a bit silly to me ??♂️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goskins10 Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 Good to know the game day thread faithful have not let anyone down by at some point and time declaring virtually every part of the team bums and they suck - despite a hard fought divisional game and a pretty good defensive team. For those of you not young enough to remember - this is how it used to be in football every week. Defenses slugging it out - making life miserable for the offense. Don't get me wrong, the offense has a lot to improve on. But hey, we got the win. The team is 4-2 with a very winnable game against the giants coming up and a not very good falcons team after. This team has a legitimate chance to get to 6-2. Anything less than 10-6 at that point should be considered a failure. Alex needs to get things figured out. He was just not good yesterday. Unlike against the Colts, he at least did enough to win - although that run out of bounds.... I did see he was thinking he could make the 1st down which would end the game. But he also admitted he needs to make a better decision there. I am sure no one was happier that FG clanked off the uprights than him. In fairness, he had little time to work with guys this off season and he was down 3 of his primary targets in Crowder, CT, and Richardson. He was finally getting some chemistry with Richardson before this week. Docston had a fair game. He caught some nice passes in tight coverage. If Alex will trust him to win more, you will see Doctson get more targets and make some plays. That play where he had to leap on the sidelines with a guy fully in front of him, was a much better catch than people realize. D looks great. I can't believe someone called Stroman a bum. Guy is a rookie! And he made some plays out there. Yes, he got burned on the one play badly. But again he is a rookie! Overall he did pretty good. I also saw several people say Kerrigan "finally" showed up. People that say are showing they really have little understanding of the game. RK has been doing his job. O lines have been focused on keeping him and Smith out of the backfield allowing Allen, Payne, and Iao to make plays. The last few games teams have started having to game plan for that interior line so RK and Smith are starting to get better stat lines. It's a team thing.

Mr. Sinister Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 I view gameday threads, crazy as they are, as nothing more than a snapshot of intense emotion, one picture at a time. Anything of note taken from it should come with a can of of Morton's, imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redskinss Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 I'm so glad the coaches finally realized how stupid it is to run a kickoff out of the endzone. I don't know the numbers but I'd bet its gotta be around 80 percent of the time when you do, something worse than the 25 yard line happens. It's very refreshing to see them just hold their arms out and watch it sail into the endzone. I'm all for playing aggressive and trying to win games but not at the cost of doing something that is statistical suicide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CTskin Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 Jesus christ this must be the whiniest fans in football. STFU, we won, we dominated, shouldn't have been as close as it was, but we beat our bitter rival and yet this board is still full of negativity. ****ing disappointing. 4-2, coming off of two big wins and people just can't help themselves. It isn't often that we are able to celebrate, so wake up and enjoy it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
