Guess Mix won't get a chance to show the Giants that they should have kept him. On the playoff note, hopefully the Iggles can take down NO next week.

not sure I've ever seen something like w-brook just did. . .

I understand trying to run down the clock . . .

Westbrook downing the ball on the 1 is a weird play. Wouldn't you take the points there?

While I think I should be lauding Westbrook for his selflessness, I think he'd have been better off taking the TD that would have made it a two-possession game. So what if you give the Cowboys a chance to score? That hasn't exactly worked out well for them....
And, if you've got Westbrook in fantasyland, I'm guessing you're saying bad words right now.

Troy really seemed to lie Westbrook's play.. .

curious to see if he figured taht out on his own or if it is something that was disccussed. . .

pretty much turned out to be a check mate . . .

Obviously, it worked...but strange.

Vegas had the game as Dallas by 10, so that wasn't an issue...

I just hope Romo brings Jessica to DC with him for our game. He plays terribly with a girlfriend in the stands.

That was not good. Okay, your turn.

Lisa, that's an excellent idea!!!

Lisa,

Let's call and invite her!

I have a pretty good idea where Jessica could sit, just in case they have trouble finding her a seat for the game.

Alright, David Garrard's post-game press conference outfit is OUTSTANDING. Best since Deion.

Slightly different situation but probably relevant, think back to the Eagles Skins game that the Eagles won. They Eagles were up 1 and instead of running out the clock, the Skins let Westbrook go right through for the score. Since it was an 8 pt game, it was an especially poor decision as it give us new life. Since this score would have made it a 2 possession game, it is highly unlikely that the girls would have comeback. But going down at the one ends the game barring a kneeling fumble.

*******Pointless Gloat************

Suck it, Dallas!

That is all

*******Pointless Gloat************

As a newly liberated ex-Skins fan, I can not wait for the contest this evening.

I was born in Georgetown hospital in October 1967 and bled burgundy and gold until today.

I have rationalized, empathized,...etc.. to keep my faith.

I finally do not have the spirit to make it work anymore. Why? Caring needs to be mirrored. Our owner is an individual that lacks the intensity of my reflection. I will not pretend to venture into this individuals internal dialogue.

While that prattle is neither here nor there, when it comes to the trading of capital for product, a choice is made.

As anyone that watched the film a 'beatiful mind' and got the concept of "equilibrium" (i was an economics major) an imbalance is is an anomaly and will be corrected.

As my detractors will have fun with this, I challenge anyone to go toe to toe with me in an intellectual argument and see who the fool is.

X_1967, I thought you said you were not going to post anymore.

I can't take someone seriously in an intellectual argument if they can't handle posting (nice double post).

x, preferred when you were masquerading as a skins minority owner. it gave me confidence that the skins would be screwed up for decades.

guess i'll just have to settle for beating Dallas at Dallas

works for me

Adam

has detroit played someone that they haven't given up 50+ points against?

this was a mid season playoff team???

Adam

Norv's boys rung up 51 points! Sure, they were playing the Lions, but ... 51!

That Dallas loss actually hurts the Skins. The girls may be having to play for home field advantage in two weeks. Not good.

So what Cindy, that's 1 less that the offensive juggernaut that is the Philadelphia Eagles

Adam

Good: I'm delirious with joy and can't type properly.

Bad: I sound like I'm insulting Cindy. Not my intent, Cindy, just don't think scoring 50 against Detroit means a lot since their D is putrid.

Adam

Adam,

Good win for you guys - congrats. Please have your team play as well as the Saints.

TODD

no worries mmok, we'll do our part next week to ensure 2008 is the Year of Toddball

Adam

SMACK

Are you angry with me?

Adam

I hate you right now.

Cue the domestic violins.

I take it all in stride, Adam. Nicely played.

i wonder what sort of intensity the skins will come out with

10 days off after such an emotional time...

Let's get it on!!! C'mon Skins!!!

Nice hand in there by Smoot.

You love to think I am full of sh*t. Others want to see what they want to see.

You are a fool. And yes, I should not have posted again, but due to the pervasive obnoxious dunderheadedness, this last one will finish it off.

The undeniable pervasive theme and tone set forth by the majority of individuals within this mini society, prone and pathetically lacking in any insightfulness or just plain intellectual honesty is patent embarassment.
Yes, this is an indictment upon you. What I have always found most troubling and why I am leaving, is the pure lack of thoughtfulness.

Even worse, peole such as you will rationalize that I am just n "idiot."

Reality, youhave never had any idea who I am.

Here comes TODD!!!

Genius playcalling.

Meet the new boss....

Same as the old boss.

That was one ugly punt

poop.

that brick wall is fighting its guts out.

X, you say I am "prone and pathetically lacking in any insightfulness or just plain intellectual honesty" yet you continue to contradict yourself by reading and posting on a blog you continue to decry and declare you will never respond to again.

How does this make me the hypocrite here?

Adam

No offense taken, Adam. I agree San Diego shoulda rung up 75. Finally, they're putting up better numbers is all I meant. Maybe they won't do the Martyfold in the first round.

when they have seller and portis in the i-formation, is there any doubt that they're gonna run to the right, vis a vis the second down play

with thomas pulling, there might be a chance to run to the left, but without him it's fairly obvious

Rocky McIntosh hurt.

hailbg,

the skins offense magically transforms regular joes like you and myself into instant d-coordinators.

i feel like i should be watching the TV with a headset on.

so f-ing predictable.

but, if they just stick with it, and keep on trying...

How does this make me the hypocrite here?

Adam

I never back down from a challenge. Your weakness is reliance on anecdotal evidence. You, are a mental midget.

Way to make a stand D

big stop.

Could you two non-Redskins fans find somewhere else to sort this out? We have a game to comment on.

Live Chat is moronic. K.Campbell showing up. What happend to Rocky? Which knee?

big stop!

el toddo is spanish for "the todd."

air it out.

make the ugliness stop.

Nice.

agh! This is starting to get a little ugly - let's go D!

collins going high early.

nerves

Second ugliest punt ever (following only the first one). Is the idea of "hang time" a bad idea? Which was is the wind coming?

I'm in that internet time warp -- delayed radio call via internet delay, counting on the blog. But it does sound pretty ugly thus far.

Frost's last name appears to be some sort of cruel, ironic joke.

I thought we had all agreed not to tell Todd he was starting, so he would prepare his guts out as per usual and , most importantly, come in cold./

This sucketh.

Come on D!

McIntosh has an icebag on his left knee.

get #8 ready! collins don't look so good

Isn't Rocky's left knee the one that was scoped and scraped?

As this will be my last post, and I never wanted to pull rank, I will now because I am not going to be back. My family is a minority owner of the Redskin franchise.

X, the only way statements 1 & 2 seem to be reconcilable os if your family just sold its stake in the franchise. Otherwise, you seem to be way out in left field, or slimy, turncoat weasel.

As for the your final post pronouncement and retraction, how could someone as intellectually superior as yourself put yourself in a position where calling others hypocrites would force you to contradict your original statement and force you to be hypocritical?

Adam

fumble.............huge!

AC's having a monster year

Portis ignited by that turnover.

we want mark!

100% pure stinkership.

0/5 0 yards......egh

IS it too early to say F Todd COllins?

Is he "0-fer" the game?

Can the O look any worse?

minority owner of the skins my cheeks. x is a dallas fan (and specially pissed by eagley adam today ... btw HA!)

Toddinator is looking so money.

pretty putrid right now, but i think collins and the o will get it going; tough conditions right now

Hooray for the field position game.

neither qb has calibrated to the wind. collins is actually pretty accurate. this is off.

So much for Todd Collings being Super smart and knowing the system real well.

He looks like super crap.

I am REAL PROUD of the way he's playing

ARE at QB!

Tough conditions = rain, wind, oppressive fog of cologne?

todd collins looks like todd the fraud collins

x You suck Trolling on this board so you get some reaction is sad

Speaking of cologne, I hope freakzilla's man date is going well.

If they can make it through a game like this together, they may have a future.

love to see HB have a big night.

keep the youth movement on the defense moving toward reality.

the giants are getting loser spots from the umps.

the receivers need to be running sprints on teh sidelines now. warm up. get faster. every thing that collins threw wrong was right in front of teh receiver.

This is the Todd Collins who couldn't get a start in this league for the past decade? This is the same fellow, yes?

Okay.

collins makes it happy on this drive...25 yards to cooley up the seam

T. Collins 0/5 0 yards
E. Manning 2/7 13 yards

Looks like the defenses will be fighting their guts out tonight!

I sense a lag in Toddmania.

no quitting on The Todd yet. Just wait.

Toddmania may be over.

Toddmania is currently in hibernation mode

Adam

Madden loves him some Portis. Lets all love us some Portis.

can someone explain this man date? please?

Collins is seriously COLD ten years off

quit quitting on the todd. no quitting yet!

did the tin man forget to lube up before the game?

Was that the playbook I heard slamming shut?

Todd "0 for Game" Collins

i want campbell back.

another on in cooleys hands this time. their first round draft pick got a hand in. go todd!

Give him a Tom Collins, that will loosen him up!

wow! thank you wind!

ok that *should* have been cooley up the seam for 25 yards....

yeah, baby! swissham

50 yard FG in the wind...

Damn at least Defense and Steams showed up to play tonight

This could be a three-zip game.

freakzilla's wife hooked him up with another Skins fan at a party, so they made a man date to watch the game. Something weird about that? It's Olympia, WA, by the way. As a fellow DC-area expatriate, I can vouch for how great it is to meet up with other Skins fans.

The Dan gives Todd his jet so he can watch the birth of his son. That's big and we hear nothing from the press. CP is running good but Todd looks awful.

gibbs 2.0 has made me come to hate field goals.

i used to like em.

and he's been throwing into the wind. That's it. Next crack gets you kicked off the Toddwagon!

Please Please don't make me want to see Brunell in the game. PLEASE GOD

swiss ham from downtown!

Todd has transferred his powers to others

Adam

Todd's last pass was a really good throw. Great play by the Giants D.

Swiss Ham's kick was spectacular!

I'm not giving up on Todd! Just having my doubts! Serious, serious doubts!

Swish hitting that one... WOW.

what's up with special teams return coverage?

I seem to have been transported in a Bachelor episode. What the hell is going on with Sunday Night Football?

Adam

thanks, Nate. Nothing weird about that, I just felt like I missed something

andre carter would fare well on american gladiators.

transported in = transported into

Eagles Fan Adam, Jasno typong skool graduate

D bringing 3 and OUT! The giants get to punt WITH the wind. Hate them now.

wow, what a friggin uglee game; nice defensive battle for the purists

HOw about the Eagles FARTING on Dallas!!!

(tiny tim voice)

more portis, please sir.

The Toddster 0/7 0 yards
E. Manning 2/8 13 yards

Just one throw, and Todd could take the statistical lead from Manning!

Cindy, can we get a text from Jasno about the temperature in the stadium? Wind speed?

I think the real question is how many football fans outside the giants-skins fans have turned off this snorefest?

Remember Jerry's mandate with Keith Hernandez?

No sweat, sherry. Again, I find it really touching because I have been meeting fellow Skins fans via this very blog for some time now. In Portland and elsewhere. It was weird at first... even more so for my wife.

Is the wind going to be for us or agin' us in the second quarter?

This is not a snore fest. This is lust for mayhem. LBM's head has been a split second away from being removed for something like nine plays.

Todd "I want to short hop 5 yard passes like brunell" Collins

nate, second quarter the wind will be behind us.

with the wind behind him, THAT was teh ugliest punt of the game.

i just heard HB's shoulder pads.

that guy might be good!

admittedly, this game is looking like Clinton Portis (plus ten guys) against Brandon Jacobs (and ten guys).

is this an electric football game?

I'm assuming there won't be a Toddathon on the blog tomorrow.

Geez... Talk about crashing back down to Earth...

big D!

looking good!

sween, you read my mind re: stadium conditions.

Cindy, I was going to ask if you knew what the Swamplands press box situation is like.

To continue with my theme of separate but unequal, I like to think of Boz and Wize in a luxury sweet, quaffing champagne and getting shoulder massages whilst swapping stories with Lupica and the other NYC sports page bigwigs.

While the Jasons sit at the very top of the stadium, in an open-air box with an obstructed view, directly under a speaker blaring nonstop Bon Jovi. And Steinbog just keeps stamping his feet out in the parking lot, trying to warm him hands on the dying coals of a long-gone tailgater's grill.

that BEAUTIFUL punt by Feegles? THAT was into the wind.

Todd Collins 0/8 0 yards
E. Manning 2/10 13 yards

....still a statistical dead heat!

DEEE-fense!

DEEE-fense!

Thanks, sween. Could Swish hit it from here, then?

SIR TODD!

Jasno reports:
They said 29 and 6 mph
But nfl.com says 13 mph
Weather.com says 36 with wind at 24 mph, gusting to 38.

YEA! A reception!!!

I'm guarding the Toddwagon for jumpers-on after that reception!

collins busting it open now

Holy crap!

the todds are off the hook

Todd Collins 1/9, 36 yards
E. Manning 2/10, 13 yards

Todd's kicking Eli's butt!!

YODER!

Now don't everybody jump on at the same time. That's a sensitive area and we need Todd for the stretch run.

red zone lets get 7, not 3 please!

Clinton slipped on the first one. The second one was OK. Todd time.

sucky.

IT was there for Cooley. [Unfortunately, Todd can lob.] Nice kick.

We still can't score touchdown in the redzone!

Swish!

These are not ideal conditions for passing the football. You all are a tough crowd.

imagine if the skins could have scored touchdowns on half of the occassions they've had to settle for 3.

magical.

This game is going down like every Redskins game...

2 Field Goals

Defense will give up a big play before half time

Goes into Half time down 7-6

NBC also sez the wind is 24 mph.

magical like a winged unicorn.

magical like a brian bosworth flourescent flat-top mullet.

this bradshaw kid is the new derrick ward.

NOW. LUST. FOR. MAYHEM.

Reed!!!

My user name says it all on that play.

Reed Doughty is impressing more and more.

LH, give me a break. I'm trying to visualize the game using my admittedly fertile imagination, the commentary up here, the little player head shots on the ESPN "Gamecast," and a radio broadcast which is about fifteen minutes behind and, in any event, features Sam Huff.

Todd Collins 2/11, 66 yards
E. Manning 3/14, 16 yards

I think Todd's just getting warmed up... he's still kicking Eli's butt, and 10 years *could* put a little rust on your game! Let's see how the next drive goes!

I still say the Skins make a move for Rams' FS O.J. Atogwe (RFA). He's beast.

We're a tough, angry crowd.

We need a TD

Come on, you Redskins!

btw ... that FedEx commercial (yes, the sponsors of our homefield) with Strahan and Umenurine sacking the boxes and kicking one out of the truck (and the boxes are the Skins), I'm thinking I may take my business to Purilator. [or at least my coffee making needs.]

AWESOME punt coverage!

Todd is looking more like Brunell.

I can see we got a five-yd reception when we needed 10, so obviously the route didn't go beyond the freaking sticks... but could one of you tell me whether Moss was AT LEAST running when he caught the ball, meaning Todd hit him in stride?

Ugh. Oh well.

Maybe we can get the wind to get us a couple of points off a safety.

jm220, you hit the nail on the head: Todd is like a younger version of Brunell.

Nate, Moss was running and had about 3 after the catch. 45 mph wind.

Nate, are you not getting this on NBC?

Jasno confirms what the field looked on the closeup of that punt: it's icing up.

possibly the worst lyingest spot of the season.

sween, sitting here at the ranch. Timing didn't work out to get to a television before dinner time/kid bedtime. I suck.

You know who else sucks? The Giants.

The Redskins do not suck. Todd does not suck.

run, run, run, run

Todd Collins 3/13, 71 yards
E. Manning 4/16, 24 yards

Todd still making looking a little more respectable than Eli...

Skins should get good field position out of this punt.

lost oppurtunities as usual.........

what ranch? no TV? its network. Do they at least have salad dressing at this ranch? what kind?

You missed a 45 pass in Moss' hands (through three receivers) dropped.

then a caught one!

Is Santana the new 50/50?

Adam

Lost opportunities? Will it be 3 or 7?

betts!!!!!!

Betts running TD!

HOORAY!!!!

i tell you what...i don't know what you idiots were talking about but todd collins is the real deal!

Betts with a TD and not a fumble. wow

Todd is looking more like Brunell.

Posted by: jm220 | December 16, 2007 09:36 PM

Eat your words, nonbeliever.

Burress looks like he wants to cry ... (or he did, but his lacrimal ducts are frozen shut).

BETTS!!!!

(sween, the ranch=our house in the PDX, which I thought you knew contains no television.)

dealer ... don't MAKE me search this page for your name on Todd.

sween, that guy was an imposter i tell you!

Where's X_1967? Didn't he transfer his alliegence to the G-girls?

I told him he'd better keep looking if he thinks their his "winner".

dealer ... eeehh (that was my boot from atop the Toddwagon to your chest). you must recant on three comments around 850pm before you are allowed back on.

Yes trink I will eat my words.

nate, you gotta have neighbors. go over, knock on the door. say you want to borrow some sugar. after they oblige, say you also want to borrow the tv. [bring the salad dressing to sweeten the deal]

TAUNTING is NOT the same as lust for mayhem!

you idiot!!!!!

poop.

Toddmania is waking from hibernation mode; please be patient while the system is restored

Adam

Lovely Lumber by LaRon, but dealing the top card off the deck into Buress is not a good finish.

Cheap shot every week from that punk.

stupid thug Laron.

if we lose another halftime lead I will be meeting the team bus when they get back.

Landry did not have a cheap shot .. just a taunt.

Note. Taunting also is not thuggery ... its just the enthusiasm of youth.

sorry, i missed this one earlier. the only thing you're wrong about is that steinberg is eating a sublime array of cheeses from whole foods.

L2 brings wood. I take the 15.

laron will learn not to do that.

sean did the same a few seasons ago.

what a shot, though!

St. Joe used the "s" word watching what LaRon did (and that word was neither "swinging" nor "soul").

You guys that think L2 hit was a cheap shot knows nothing about football. That was a nice clean shot.

Jeremy Shockey with 21 in his eye black

Interesting...

Adam

PORTIS!!!!

Madden thinks Gibbs said "whatt a dumb play", but it sure looked like "what a dumb a$$"

PORTIS DRAw... almost. Damn. FLAG. FACE mask.

LOVING Portis on this drive.

I swear to Christ if we lose this game by 3... I love LL but sheesh son! Just keep extending that hand pick Burress up and talk poop all the way back to the huddle!!!

Cindy, a "sublime array of cheeses" smacks of Smoove B...

Time mgmt decision coming up. 3 and goal. 11 seconds.

POOR.

POOR.

POOR.

How were those red zone throws and plays, before the sack? I know they were incompletes, but how were they otherwise?

shaazam for MVP!

I've never seen a FG kick hit the wind strip before. That was cool. Gotta take out the trash and recycling.

Swisssssssham!

This looks real familiar doesn't it? we get ball to start 2nd half, and I'll say 3 and out, big play Giants and momentum shifts..........but lets hope not.

nate

first throw was really odd 2 yard cross with zero chance of getting to the end zone

second throw was a desperation heave to avoid a sack

not a good last set of downs, but since the gints didn't have to honor the run, finding the end zone was going to be tough

16-3 Skins

Adam

We are up at the half. Now I am really starting to worry about this game.

We need to reverse the second half curse. Hail!!

time to make the donuts!!

Halftime stats:
Todd Collins 4/18, 105 yards
E. Manning 6/21, 51 yards

Let's hope the coaching staff doesn't put the cuffs on the offense after halftime... although Portis and Betts seem to be having their way a bit on the ground.

F the Gints! F them all the way to the New Year!!

Tell me something...does CPlook awesome tonight or what?

cosmofla

Smoove B is the best.

Thanks, Adam.

Decided to crack open a beer instead of going out into that good night to find a teevee.

Hail Skins. Come on!

squashmo he does but it would be nice if he doesn't have to avoid a defender in the backfield. Come O line you guys got to step it up.

cosma, that he does. The secondary has shown UP! Springs. Huge. Smoot. Huge. Doughty. Large. Landry ... say what you will about the taunt, but Burress has both hands on that ball before he was invited to barf it up by TheRon.

test

Also love Tiki bad mouthing Eli in the half time show. Battery low. Must plug in.

nate, I hear ya

Hoisting an Anchor Steam for you, buddy

Adam

Damn, I'm fired up! My wife had to send my youngest to bed cause I'm scaring him. I sent her off to bed to. I hate the F'n Gints.

cosmofla

Did they do that whole Tiki halftime spot just to try to show that Tiki's comments were not all that controvercial?

That's what Costas sounded like.

Of course she ignored me. I don't blame her.

cosmofla

The Giants fans booed them leaving for the half. No one outfairweathers their team like Giants fans.

We need to channel positive mojo to the Skins coaches. Half time adjust to this ... you did things right in the first half. Do that again.

I heard Hillary Clinton gave the halftime speech......

Hear, hear, and here's to your Iggles.

Fat Tire over here. Which is nice.

COOOLEEYYY!!

Coooooooooooooooooooooley!

Cooooooooooooley. First down. That's the way you do it. Money for nothing and chicks for free.

the cave man!!!!!!

Sellers got mad hops!

Sellers to the 14th. Portis to the 5. Hurry up!

PORTIS!!!!

Now thats REDSKINS FOOTBALL!!!!!!!!!!

CP!!!!! WHat in the wide wide world a sports is a goin on here!!!!!!!??????????

Joe calling for two!

Yowsa! CP is having a helluva game!

Holy schneikes!!!

HAIL!

too early for that, Joe!

I . . . bled burgundy and gold until today.

Punctuation Post. That's funny. Thanks for that one.

I'm glad they showed that replay of the L2 hit. The winds here have been pretty fierce, off and on, so the power had flickered off and I missed it earlier.

I love that dude.

Shockey hurt. Interestingly, w/o Rocky, they have Blades in the middle and Fletcher as the weakside backer.

honestly this toddernator looks good...

too bad he wasn't the skins qb this season...
and too bad he's 65...
and too bad you need to be 65 to get weird al's system
22-3!!! woohooo...why did they go for 2? it's early third quarter!

yby: farstriker

your 60 IQ keeps you in that 25g a year got

Now would be time to note that a comma would've been appropriate between the "you know what" and the f%ck you.

how the heck is blades, a rookie, playing the mike? that's whack, yo

Shockey looks like he's in a lot of pain.

Just fiercesome hitting at the line by the Skins. Repeated hits. [If only the first one would actually stop Jacobs.]

I think Blades in the middle has more to do with where he lines up and who his assignment is. Fletcher, I'm sure, is still calling the plays and making the adjustments.

That sack gets credited to Carter, but its was K.Campbell on the blitz that sent Eli running five yards back before the hit.

Now would be time to note that a comma would've been appropriate between the "you know what" and the f%ck you.

Posted by: Wemiss21 | December 16, 2007 10:31 PM

How dare you criticize this blog's valedictorian?

Adam

funniest line of the nite, collins 6-20 for 139. who would've thunk it?

yeah justme, that looked like i'm gone for 3/4 weeks or greater face.

also why is there a head still attached to eli's body?

That Marcus/Blades/Fletch was only a couple of packages. They shifted into a 3-4 with K.Campbell in the middle on that last one with the sack.

Sweet. This game so far puts Carter at 10.5 sack and 4 forced fumbles for the season. Who was the last Skin with a double digit sack total? Lavar, when Marvin Lewis was the DC, maybe?

X, all in fun.

I extend the hand of enduring burgundy-and-gold friendship. This is a sweet, sweet evening. For one wee evening, all is swell in Redskins land.

Whodathunk it.

need a good punt here

Ugh, there's some kind of necklace hanging down on my RI page. Damn intrusive blog ads.

Ah, the giddiness of it all. . .

OK. New third quarter adjustment ... the Giants have figured out the draw. Stop doing it for a little while, esp. in SKins territory in what would be Giants redzone.

too conservative joe or al or whomever calls these f'in plays.....

Its not conservatism ... that's just Betts.

um, this game is not nearly over.

skins still need to score. the worst thing that could happens is that they go into the run for 1-2 yards on 1st and 2nd and then get stuffed on 3rd and long

smoot's playing out of his mind the past 3 games

Smoot is playing a nice game tonight.

come on D! turnover here would be HUGE!

HOLD!

FYI... the Giants are NOT the team to emulate!

I demand a Giants disaster. Eli turnover, right now.

this a 4 down territory for the jints...so i'll be happy with a hold or a 3 here

Giants are a team to immolate (except tonight ... better they should freeze).

F this first downery.

here we go!

Yikes. That looked like football. I thought we were in a victory parade!

this game is nowhere near over - we need to focus in and play a good solid 17 minutes and 24 seconds of football...

Eff.

here comes shelie!!! this is his time. every stinking game against the skins.

ok.

here's where the skins have to counter with 7.

come on, redskins!

put this thing out of reach!

OK you brought heat all night on Eli. Why sit back now and just let him throw? Keep bring the heat on his no heart a**

Wow, a Cialis ad where the guy's faucet breaks off and starts gushing water. That's gotta hurt.

And the 2nd-half meltdown begins.....

from the film, it looked like Shockey Jansened his ankle.

Cartwright looks just a tad slower; probably just end of the season aches and pains...

collins has a sexy play action.

Heyer has been handling Strahan ... or Strahan is just getting tired.

I'm a bit behind you guys. I've still got a big cheesy grin on my face. My adrenaline boosters must be shot.

Is there cause for concern? I mean, come on, what could go wrong? We're ahead!

By 12 points!

With fewer than 20 minutes to go! (Note the outstanding usage of "fewer" instead of the common but incorrect "less," Xster).

I mean, it's in the bag!!

This is Joe Gibbs we're talking about.

And Todd Collins!

And remember how we dominated them the first game, too! We own them!

. . .

Oh

. . .

Oh sh*t

chris samuels is a disappointment.

Did you see CP lay the wood on Tuck? Damn

Best LOOKING punt by Frost tonight, but it bounced the wrong way.

farstriker i think i love you

i might start hyperventilating/flipping out/crying now... WHAT HAPPENED TO OUR DEFENSE?

Now the D can't stop the offense. It's the 1st matchup all over again....

Skins are going to blow this.

What a wanker!

Todd dammit, DEEEE-fense! Make a play!

Al Michaels gets too excited when the Giants do something.

Its just Jacobs who is able to do anything. That pass hit both of Toomer's hands. It was a drop. F JACOBS!

they need to hold these guys to a fg...

What is up with the freakin' play clock!!?? It has expired like three times on the Giants, including a converted third and 10, with no call!!

How bad would it feel to be a Raven today? Toddcoat, you out there? Feel any better?

if skins lose tonite, they don't deserve to make the playoffs and it'll just be emblematic of how the whole season has gone

They are playing not to lose again instead of fast and loose. They atarted thinking about playoff possibilities and are about to eff this up......

Once again, the curse of Gibbs 2.0

Watch out for the screen pass here....it will be deadly...

this time we don't go negative!

they'll hold on to it and pull this one out!

HAIL!

beat the giants!

are they playing prevent?

this is ridiculous

Notice the D hasn't even been close to an int in the 2nd half?

great play, smoot!

Please no ground hog day, please no ground hog day, please no ground hog day...

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!

DODGED A BULLET!

YESSSSSSSSSSSSS!

OK, can we get a score this drive, please?

there IS A GOD!

we'll take it!

put up a touchdown, todd!

gibbs is due to look like a total genius closing this thing out.

go skins!

noo goooood!

JustMe, were you the one suggesting that Tynes, as a Scot, might not be affected by the cold? 37 yards?

Hail to the Redskins.

Hail to Fred Smoot.

Hail to the Wind!

I am loving L2 bring the wood. Double G needs to change this sorry bend but don't break damn D before we lose this game.

that is huge

No Goooooood!

Shockey is one tough MF! I would've have been screaming my effin' head off; pissing my pants; and crying like a newborn!

Portis. Gain of seven. He's like Jacobs, but legit.

---fantasy interlude---

With the remaining scoring possibilities in the semifinal round a mere formality, the championship game in the Redskins Insider 'Australia vs USA' fantasy league will pit SMACK against kost52.*

Top seed SMACK crushed wild card Stumped, while kost squeaked past Zebra thanks apparently to Jessica Simpson. (Zeeb's QB was Romo.)

kost and SMACK may represent Australia and the USA respectively, which nicely fits the theme of this league, but they are both of Dutch extraction, which counts for something, I think.

* He Nate Me was not invited to participate in the championship game.

--- end fantasy interlude ---

HAIL!

Alright O... time to drive this all the way down the field and get some more points...

GW needs to check his scheme b/c it sux so far since our last score.... way to slack... stop f'in with what was working...

CP is having his way w/ these dudes.

YEEESSSS!!!!

Shockey is a punk. Good riddance.

Okay......let's not be afraid to air it out. Throw it to Cooley!

come on TODD!

CP is having a great game.

Damn!

Oy, I hurt inside.

Aargh, Leadell. Just a tad longer, argh.

Portis lookin so much better tonight... although they finally have been blockin on the runs.

What is going on with the pass interference ... i've seen 2 or 3 not called

Go for it............

Shockey done for the season!

ok... guys let's get a grip now. let's wrap this up!

GW needs to send a serious blitz here......knock the snott out of baby manning.

true that...

hold em D!

hold em D!

god, we could use a turnover!

Come on DEFENSE!!!

Shockey ain't no punk! I don't like the Jints, but he ain't no punk. He's pretty much had his way with us over the years...

Just get some pressure on Eli...he'll do the rest and throw it to us....we just have to catch it.

the secondary needs to jam receivers off the line. they (the secondary) did not get enough of a rest in that last O possession. poop. buck up! pick ... or better yet sack! beware of jacobs.

We are still up by twelve points, right? Under ten minutes to go?

Yep, time for the D to stiffen up.

Come on, lads! Vigilance!

HAIL!

Boy am I glad Tiki retired. They'd give it to him and he'd run our a$$ off!

Skins flexed again next sunday!

Okay, the narrative of the season on this defensive stand.

A measure of triumph out of adversity? Or another horrible version of our season-long punch in the face?

Oy, oy, oy, I'm highly wrought up right now.

where is the defense this half.... come on!!!!

giants are running the ball!

stop them from doing that!

why do i get so nervous every time the skins opponent goes deep on them?

thank you moss

we are flailing... if not for the wind... we'd be toast on several of these plays.

Well, Moss had to really stretch, but he was able to bat that ball down.

Does he know he's playing offense tonight?

Man, if their receivers could catch a pass, we'd be in trouble....

AD is going to get 200+ on this run D.

Ay, nate, the watchword is vigilance.

Vigilance!

what happened to getting pressure on eli?

Time to drop Eli.

These 2nd and 2's are getting ridiculous. We need a pick or a sack/fumble. COME ON D!

oh, 4th and 1. This would be a play right here.

F!

Sugar!

this crap is making me sick...

the Giants drops have been the Skins MVP tonight.

hold em!

Somewhere U of Maryland B-ball non-great Taylor Baldwin ("Hands of stone") is smiling.

Could they be using less clock? Crap.

if they caught half of these we would be in big trouble

torrence looks awful tonight.... where is springs?

Our defense looks like the pre-season roster again.....why isn't Blades in there again?

Torrence is Toast

Should've been a pick......

crap. nuther 4th and short.

can we please put some pressure on LBM

the Skins are doing their best to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

COME ON!!!!!!!

gee a 4th and one and a 4th and two...so that's how you do it....

When we get the ball, we better get some first f'n downs

why do we give a rookie wide out a 20 yard cushion! ha, exactly john!

STOP THEM

nice

3rd times a charm on 4th down right?

Okay, I choose positivity.

We have done extremely well.

We are slowly yielding ground and grinding clock.

We will prevail.

We will prevail.

Would somebody please put some pressure on Manning??!!!

can't do it 3 times in a row can they?

Is this one of those deals where all we have to do is get ONE FREAKING FIRST DOWN to wrap it up?

Can we get off the damn field on *this* 4th down???

Ball game if we stop 'em here.

LMB is way too comfortable ... come on already... PASS RUSH

yes!!!!!!!

THANK YOU

Evans is the man!

YESSSIR!!!

I love ballin' !!!!

lucked out!

all we do now is just ride it out.

portis will close this game out.

This damn team is giving me lose my damn mind.

Oh, I'm calm, Dude ... calmer than you.

Boy, that missed field goal really hurt 'em there. They had to go for it.

Hee hee hee

we need several first downs here...

demetric evans! dude comes up huge again!

you know three straight runs up the middle for 9 yds is coming followed by a bad punt right?

TAKE US DOWN THE FIELD TODD!!!

this one's in da bag

If it wasn't a heart attack every Sunday, it wouldn't be our team, right? All I ask is that we WIN some of the close ones........

no gain (that's 1)

Why the hell is Betts in the damn game?!?!?!

back to the ol' Ladell!!!

jm220, reading your post made me lose my giving broke mind

they are going to stack this box w everything here... they know we're going to run threee straight... we need to play action on second down here... keep them honest....

i think the skins run on 2nd and 3rd here. is betts the guys we want holding onto the ball here?

One first down. One first down. One first down.
