Inactives

FIRST! HAIL SKINS!

let's get this thing on!!!

jasno, how are the kikcing conditions back in raljohn?

kickers must be warming up any time now . . .

I don't know how they'll overcome the loss of Stanback.

Weather report: it's drizzling and the forecast calls for that to continue until midnight or so. Temps are in the high 30s. Very little wind.

With Stanback out, everyone might as well breathe easy. 'Skins in a cakewalk. :-)

Sportsnet just said the Jason Campbell is on the ACTIVE roster. Jason was supposed to do an interview with them but could not because he has been made active.

hmmm. . .

just pondering the last post. . .

could mean they don't trust brunell/hollenbeck. . .

or maybe they're thinking they can get soups some snaps if the game is out of hand? not sure tha makes sense given what I've heard about the weather . . .

Sportsnet just said the Jason Campbell is on the ACTIVE roster. Jason was supposed to do an interview with them but could not because he has been made active.

Wow and hmmm?

I wonder if that has to do with any rules re post-season rosters? I.e., if he's inactive "X" games he can't be on the post-season roster?

Just a complete wild guess. Doesn't make any sense otherwise.

That report is incorrect. Campbell is inactive.

FYI - Terry Glenn is working running routes on the field with Romo so I guess he will be playing....rain or no rain.

he must be healthy, not sure I'd have him out there with a slick track if there were any concerns . . .

Fox announcers in Saints game.

"Great Effort by David Patton".

unsure we ever heard that in DC :)

Oh and Ryan Seacrest is indeed in the house.

Get the door, it's Domino's! I'm ready! Pumped. Amped.

Time to start pacing around the living room...

Ryan Secrest said he is visiting with some friends in DC and that he is pulling for the Skins today. We are jinxed.

Who is Ryan Seacrest?

As Bill Shakespeare noted:

"Let us get-ith it on-eth"

Let's go Skins!!!

dallas punter?

I'm trying to figure out while the local Fox affiliate is still showing me the Chi 33-NO 17 game. WTF???!!!

first game i have gotten to enjoy in my own apartment all year....GOOD OMEN!

I BELIEVE.

HAIL TO 'EM!

He guys. Thanks for the positive feedback!

It was suppose to pretty much a positive guest blog. My point was basicaly we must move forward beyond tragedies in our lives. That's actually want makes us as a peopele stronger.

In my life, Skins are my biggest diversion. So, I really don't want my diversion to end. I'm sure many on the redskins feel the same way going through their tragedy.

Like I told people at church, everyone's thoughts and prayers have actually helped me stay strong for my family. It has worked and I am doing my best to keep everyone happy....

Game time....

Ryan Seacrest is even purtier than Jessica Simpson. Way to go, Todd!

Nice one, Smack! :-)

Oh and ... HAPPY BIRTHDAY, NATE!!!!!!!!!!

F!!!!!

Fox is running commercials rather than going right to 4:15 game

Ya, lets hear it for dallas going 3-out.

Denver D is having a problem with the Vikes

Oh and thanks Chicago.

Vikes 1st and goal at the 3

Minnesota TD but a challenge ensues...

let portis carry the offense on his back in this rain.

CP baby.

PORTIS wants Dallas! PORTIS wants Dallas! PORTIS wants Dallas! PORTIS wants Dallas!

call reversed on the Vikes, turnover for the Broncos

Good call by spotter

And the MN touchdown was reverse into a touchback :)

Get on the CP horse baby!

Also, the redskins should go with free kick kickoff I think :)

Fing Swiss Ham!

i hope the scoreboard operator at the stadium leaves it as Vikings 7-0.
the last thing our boys need is to get careless.

as i say this...swiss-ham kicks it outta bounds. effing brilliant!

BTW, is anyone worried that when CP does those flips he is going to land badly once?

Sean!!!!!

There we go! Yeah!

Thank you Shawn!

swiss ham needs some swiss mountain climbing spikes . . .

wooohooo springs

Terry Glenn. More catches, or missed tackles?

Should have typed "Shawn," but maybe a propitious slip

I'm listening to the radio with the tv muted, and Sonny is also worried about Portis doing flips. Spotter, you're in good company.

Cooley has a nose for the first down marker.

Lets go Broncos...
Lets go Redskins...
Lets go Portis...
Lets go Cooley...
Lets go WR's...

Great camera work on that measurement.

COOOOOOOOLEY!

damn wet ball.

Damn!

damn

Damn, I was worried about that with the rain like this.

I dont understand how the seahawks would let them be used in the state farm commercial like that.

And Arizona being the tough ones?

damn*4, next time we do that, have the cowboys in mind :)

Vikes 1st and 10 at the Denver 12

CP needs to have both hands on the ball . . .

that could have been huge . . .

that's the romo we love. . .

everyone should have this url

http://static.nfl.com/gamecenter?season=2007&week=REG17&game_id=29448

loaded in another tab in firefox (and if you are not using firefox, you should be, preferably in Ubuntu Like me).

This performance rivals Brett Favre's...

In "There's Something About Mary".

Carter cant stop the run... Oh wait.

Safari has tabs and is more Mac friendly. But if you are using IE then you should just stop working with computers.

why the ARE jitter bug like that, he gives up yards. go straight.

Vikes have to settle for a field goal

Yes, but the laptops have only one button! and no eraser head mouse, two fatal flaws.

ah the delayed handoff. That works so so well against the NFC east.

ah the delayed handoff. That works so so well against the NFC east.

gotta luv the way betts has been running hard these last few gamess, nice complement to CP. . .

Macs are beautiful. And shiny. And when I use one, I am allowed to work at Starbucks. :-)

After years of being forced to use Windows, I have seen the light with the Mac.

Now, about that football game... :-)

Cooley time.....

maybe i need to lose the rose-colored glasses, but doesn't this first quarter seem eerily similar to the 1st qtr of the earlier dallas game?

all i remember is the skins eating clock and piling up yards, just didn't score. . .

or Portis time; whatever......

damn. moss came to play too.

Wow! Way to go Santana!

That is not a catch, peeps.

Someone go steal Wades hankie! :-)

still a good try.

Skins are playing like they are possessed. More points are needed. With wet field and ball everyone is gonna be tired by late 3rd quarter

big play coming up here . . .

need to take the will out of the pokes . . .

Denver 1st and ten at the Viking 12

The skins should have a signal that a player (normally a WR) can signal when they make something that's called a big catch but they know it isnt, to tell the skins to hurry up.

the skins could then use this fake hurry up to try and get the opponents to throw the challenge flag badly. :)

Santana wanted it two inches to the left.

TD Broncos!

MOSSS

touchdown denver! (6-3 Denver w/ PAT pending)

wide open . . .

Play it smart skins.

sonny (#9) says

people beat roy williams like a drum

LOL

Can the Skins keep this intensity?

Cooley...

how many yards do you lose for intental grounding and what would the sack have cost them?

re samsung commercial: do the jets have a WR that could even pull that off? :)

15 yards for intentional grounding; looked to me like he was about seven yards behind the line. so he should have taken the sack except it doesn't matter because they kicked the fg.

Man they have to keep this up. Shut them down and score again.

Sack in this rain could result in a fumble. We got a field goal, not a bad deal.

spotter,

i think the play would have had the same result. it was 3rd down. sack would have been at the 28. turned out the penalty put the ball at the 28 also.
oh well, it's a moot point now that sweeeezam made the kick.

Did MN use peterson a a kick returner against the redskins?

Oh, and for those that are interested in the new terminator tv series, the pilot was leaked onto the Internet last summer. River :) kicks ass.

And damn, Suisham kicked it out of the end zone. Since when can he do that!

ROFLMAO. Romo got hit in the head trying to catch the ball.

Fox's production on this game is stellar. Really enjoying it, actually.

DDDDD!

Fox was doing okay except for the extreme close-up of Romo's bee-hind.

springs is so good at timing those hits.

Romo not playing well today. Not that it matters. Dude always finds a way to play well at the end, and the team always finds a way to transcend its QB.

Shape up Smoot.

Cindy, fox was going it for the girls.

Fantastic play by Smoot there.

I am sure that J Simpson loved that shot of sissy boys ass.

PDiddy, but will he play the whole game?

Yeah, Cindy, I'm not complaining about that!

Ordinarily, I appreciate that. Boy, do I ever. But not with a playoff berth on the line.

They keep talking about the knee? His ass landed OB

what's the rule here?

pls tell me that elbow + foot=catch

Who was that who missed the sack was it Washington or our MacSub.

Cindy: Fox is doing it as a gift to the guys to let the BFs convince the GFs to let them hog the TV. (or other varying levels of commitment).

easy TD dropped by Vikes!

Wade's out of challenges this half. Take away that hankie!

Oh Please

fumble by Vikes!

Lets take that ball.....someone needs to WANT the ball

Pdiddy: no, you challenge twice correctly, you get a 3rd I think.

that hurd dude needs to wake up and smell the coffe. . .

that's a good way to wind up on IR with the way our secondary hits. . .

does, Jason Garrett look like Aikman? just less blond.

I realixe I am a true "homer" but dont all announcers like the boys better than the skins?

Don't doubt the Doughty

TD Broncos!

Uh, Aikman is fairly neutral for a former cowboy.

Old school Cowboys/Redskins fight. Playoffs on the line. The intensity is great.

sonny sam and larry don't seem to like them much

holding on Denver; cancel that tD

Denver TD called back due to O Holding.

Wikipedia (which is never wrong! :-) ) says coaches get TWO challenges per GAME.

We need a ruling from the East German judge on who is right...

Yes great play by the D.

1st and goal for Denver at the 2...

My Mother would probably have killed me (figuratively) if I played football in that weather instead of giving me soup.

The Cowboys radio announcer (apparently a former player, but I don't know who he is [my brother just said he played for the skins and the boys]) did an interview on comcast and said that he wanted to skins to win.

SEAN

gotta love the way doughty is coming on. . .

oneof two guys fron UNC (no. colorado) in the NFL. . . .

can't imagine that school's sent too many guys to the NFL . . .

Last night the Giants played their a@@es off. The lauded Cowboys "America's Team" is mailing this one in. It shows what they are really made of as an organization.

pdiddy, always trust google over wikipedia.

http://www.jt-sw.com/football/pro/index.nsf/Documents/0-rules

Ohhhh crap!

D'oh!!!

TD Broncos!

The defense needs some time off the field!Hold them to 3 is good. We lose a time out here

BTW, does it seem that Buck is channeling his inner gumble with all his "perhaps" and "maybe"

Stupid Rain.

no TO but two TOs?

what's up here. . .

uh oh; Todd's channeling JC...

that's gang tackeling.

I think Buck is actually pretty good. And I love his sense of humor.

D swarming to the ball today. Wow.

I have a question... how Cowboys fans are that FedEx. It drives me crazy

Need a big return here. Have to get back to 'Skins football. Give it to CP.

I like buck too, but after people got me listening to Bryant (Not to be confused with Greg) use of the maybe, I'm noticing everywhere now.

man, fletcher needs to catch one of these romo passes. . .

didn't he have 2 chances in the last game where the ballhit him in the hands?

clinton portis is really running smart today.

He looks like he's knocked off a few years.

wo observations:

BJ looks ready to go in. . .

Wade looks real dorky in that "D" hat . . .

Why is Todd holding onto the ball for so long?

FedEx is so big that you'll always have opponents fans there in large numbers. It's the way it is. Also, DC is a fairly transient and affluent town, so getting tickets isn't that hard. Plus, I think there's a large contingent of "contrarian" types who grew up Cowboys fans in DC just because it tweaks their 'Skins fans friends...

Gack, I'm nervous as a cat with kittens.

are we that good or is Dallas not trying all that hard?

I think that the running stats say it all for this half.

no first down, but that was a great catch on cooley's part.

And thrash is so great.

Danny Smith is a great ST coach.

Hard to gauge this! Normally Dallas would've cashed in for six at the 19...

Let's get another safety this week.

PDiddy, much like I'm a contrarian in NY these days (well Mets are favored over the Yankees, but boo to both), as not much to root for the Os these days (perhaps should care for the Nats, but moved to NY 10 years ago....)

What's up over here? You guys pop the bubbly yet?

blog rule: No Bubbly shall be popped until vikings or skins game is over w/ apropriate results.

Barber is going to be all for the whole game at this rate, how many yards does he have, he needs 19 for his first 1K yd seeason

NFL.com confirms: two challenges per GAME.

I think Gibbs should keep that 21 on his cloths through his tenure.

hmm. Pdiddy brings the hammer. Need to look for my power saw.

That delay was no good.

These reviews are starting to irritate me.

Denver leads 14-3 at the half.

spotter: here, here

Pdiddy: take the flag away from the booth too :)

These refs have been overturned three times today. Yikes. That's a lot for an NFL crew...

Bug Eyes has been HUUUUUUUGE for us in this playoff run! HUUUUGE.

Do the Caldwell Slide.

daggone reviews. . .

spotter, no need to explain, when you left DC there was no baseball team and the O's were the only reason for it. . .

no real reason to root for them when even the hometown folks root for the sox . . .

I've adopted the rockies and it sure is nice to not have to be a contrarian for every sport (still can't leggo the wiz and caps). . .

Silly play call there.

They should have thrown into the end zone.

Just checking in... Go Skins!

Half time lead, at home, with Troy and Joe pissing the SJK out of me. Hail friends, hail.

Ah well I will take a 10 point lead at the half.

We do NOT want B Johnson in the game. He has a BIG hard on for the Skins

F Brad Johnson! We owe him a few!! Trot him out the 2nd half!

Brad Johnson scares the bejeezus out of me in situations like this.

bah, don't give away those 3 points.

I guarantee you this: Brad Johnson might be wearing a 'Skins jersey after the game, but London Fletcher will be in it!!!

At issue here is whether the half can end on a Redskins (kicking team) penalty.

My gut is Johnson plays the second half. . .

not sure you can decline the penalty and get one more play. . .

There's your answer. Very esoteric rule there.

yay for the defense.

Really dumb move by Phillips at the end there.

OK one more half to go.

smart move by wade, huh?

chris wilsom almost takes romo's head off. . .

so what do we do for halftime entertainment?

ga, I'm not sure. A Hail Mary play from the 35 is makeable. Plus, we ALL know the history of the Cowboys/'Skins rivalry and Hail Mary plays. I think Wade gets kudos for actually knowing the rule. The refs had to huddle and figure that one out.

spotter, why don't you lead us all in some Interpretive Blogging?

didn't we benefit from a similar circumstance at the end of the vikings game? we just kept the ball and ran out the clock, but I remember being a bit confused as to why we got the penalty yards w/o a re-kick . . .

I guess it makes sense . . .

Vikes not looking good today...

Vikes have lost 13 of 15 outside in December. If the Broncos get another TD, that'll change the whole game plan for Chili...

pddidy:

1) I'm a CS Phd student. Not a Liberal Arts student.

2) ESPN agrees w/ me!

http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=1771954

PDiddy
I meant as far as having Romo in there again, risking injury. He came off wincing...

He said "esoteric" Can you say that in football?

spotter, we may need to consult a third-party! I'll bet NFL.com's rulebook is outdated and you are correct.

Soups1: you mean Ned (or are you confusing Fox shows, argh please delete the OC from my mind!)

Esoteric is a pretty common word.

Now, if I had said "recherche"...

Vikings Broncos 10 min in the 3rd Quarter.

1st and 10 Denver at the Vikes 25

Fox-5 NY news says that elevator at meadowlands went haywire after the game yesterday speeding up and throwing fans everywhere!

One could say I guess that elevator was channeling his inner manning.

technically, that's a shame.....

I find Kiafest to be somewhat sexually harrasing. Guess there are benefits to being a non american company?

I heard they're sending Eli to Pakistan to change the government there. They figure he overthrows everybody, so it's a natural choice....

more chances to take Romo's head off!

you'd be slpeaking a different language ;-)

17-3 Broncos!

sheesh, that stat sheet showed how those 2 interceptions b/c of the rain hurt the skins.

this is the exact opposite of the first game. The skins were leading because of the myriad of cowboy mistakes, but didn't take advantage of enough of them to put the game away.

Thank goodness Austin dropped that. Smoot is playing pretty weak today.

see, ARE, you run straight, you get a good return. you jitter bug, you get a crap return.

Part of me wants to see mike sellers return punts.

for some reason that bud light commercial sounds like schindler's list music.

I heard they're sending Eli to Pakistan to change the government there. They figure he overthrows everybody, so it's a natural choice....

Posted by: Soups1 | December 30, 2007 06:07 PM

Hiyo!! LOL

If Tavaris Jackson brings the Vikings back, I'll eat an entire Oreo pizza.

Major props to Mike Shanahan and crew. Looks like all those draft choices we sent over there are going to pay off. Vinny is a genius after all!!!

spotter, same as first game, the points and the yards gained don't jive. . .

when you put up that many yards in the first half you should score more than 13 pts. . .

PORTIS.

Clinton's vision today is amazing.

They better make sure Tank Johnson isn't packing...

17-3 Den

pdiddy: MN is going the wrong way right now (arrow on NFL.com makes it look like a Denver drive!)

OK I looked that up recherche means Search? I am lost. Can one use French while describing football?

P:

LOL!

I'm in on the OREO pizza bet. . .

but then again. . .

say we're going to resign reche!

Caldwell needs to be resigned next year. I haven't seen him drop a pass yet.

ARE
ARE

http://www.thefreedictionary.com/recherche

:-)

No, French is not permitted when discussing football. For example, "A World Series title is perhaps recherche for Alex Rodriguez."

draw?!?

give the ball to sellers!

Give to the FB

They MUST re-sign Bug Eyes. No doubt about it. Dude has been CLUTCH this playoff run.

Way to go CP!!!!!

though replay showed, portis didn't really follow sellers there.

CP baby all the way. I want one of those Taylor T's

PDiddy: Todd Collins is the ugly duckling long lost elder brother of Brady.

maybe wadde has someone scouting the RI blog. . .

or maybe his dorky "D" hat was too wet to wear for the 2nd half. . .

I'm going with the former. . .

OK...did you mean to send off looking for recherche? Cause I'm trying to cook dinner and watch this game :)

Todd Collins is the Jay Schroeder of the Gibbs 2.0 era.

What impresses me most is that TC has gotten it done in less than ideal weather cond'ns. That bodes well for next week and beyond.

Oh no! not B Johnson. . .

I prefer ROmo at this point! ! !

Broncos-Vikings start the 4th quarter. Broncos ball, up 17-3

I personally think we match up very well with the Seahawks!

Pdiddy: does that mean he's going to have one series in the ultimate superbowl trip and suck?

Vikes start at their own 2

This is how good the Skins could have been all year without the unsightly TOs, bad clock mgmt and conservative play calling that cost them games.

Seahawks are a weak team in a weak division. Their stars are shells of their former selves. That said, big players come up big in the playoffs, and the Seahawks have a squad that has been there and done it.

EVERYONE in the NFC is beatable. Every single team. This tournament is WIDE OPEN. Win and you have a legitimate shot. And as Jasno wrote, this 'Skins squad is a dangerous opponent for anyone in the NFC.

AFC is another story. Whoever wins the AFC (and by "whoever" I mean Indianapolis or New England) will win the Super Bowl.

don't foreget the injuries; they were huge!

I'm thinking the washington post should get a select few people press passes to the redskins game so that we can live blog it! :)

Heck, I think people would do it for free for the post if they got them passes and transportation :). The post could even use selected excerpts in the print edition!

How about it cindy?

i hope we score on this drive, so we can rest our starters for the 4th quarter. it'll be a great sight to see.

this reminds of e. smith's last year in big D, when he came in needing 50 yds to crack 1k yd/ season for the nth time and we held him to something like 20. . .

dub g defense if I recall. . .

imagine if barber doesn't get his 19 yards and witten diesn't get his (don't remember how many) receptions. . .

vikes are self-destructing...

I agree, LH. But with all the adversity this team has faced, I like the team as-is right now.

Close this game out!!!

We're sitting on a +31 here. I am still somewhat nervous.

Maybe I need a good Dutch beer to accompany here on the internet stream of the radio broadcast.

but then again, does anyone REALLY wanna see Brunell behind center yelling "340!!!!!" before every snap? that would NOT be cool in my book. lol.

Safety for Denver!

119 yards rushing to 0.

oy

damn, the redskins offense is clicking.

Collins looks like brady.

TC is UNREAL!!!!!

Toddball!!!!!!!

did the vikings just have an 86 yard punt? or is nfl.com screwing w/ me?

Did the Minnesota punter just kick it 86 yards? Wow!

Broncos are ripping off big runs on the Vikes now...

What difference a qb who doesn't lock on a receiver makes.

Okay, I'm starting to believe.

Denver is ramming the ball down the Vikings' throats.

8 1/2 minutes left in Denver. Vikes are done!

Please, please, please....just one good lick on Brad Johnson...!

or as in.... Tony Romo is so recherche that even Jessica does not want him

Hahaha. Love it Soups. Frankly, I thought BJ got a bum rap in DC. To be replaced after a playoff year by Jeff George?!?!

This team is playing great. I don't think anyone is going to want to see us in the playoffs.

Oh I agree, but wearing that 'Skins jersey after his win last year was pretty classless....

p, agree w/ you on BJ. he should have stayed hear, look at the mess that ensued . . .

I missed that Soups...what happened?

Total domination!!!

Okay, I say it:

We're going to the playoffs!!!!!!!!!!

Moss way to go.

ohhhhh yeah baby...MOSSSSSS

I think the starters have to rest now. No need to go all bellicheck on the cowboys.

TODDBALL!!!!

Alright, kids. Welcome to Seattle!

WOOHOO!!!!!

darn looseable type . . .

vikes were done when the got du g'd last sunday. . .

oye como va!!!!!

he's baaaack. . .

btw, the budlight umpire commercial is more funny in retrospect of two weeks ago and the umpre tackling the player by the neck.

After the Vikes win in DC last year, Brad walks out of the locker room to the team bus with a 'Skins jersey on....

eff the vikings game.

skins @ seattle.

time for some revenge, TODDstyle!

vikings are down by 8 w/ 5 minutes to go.

P:
BJ brought out his old skins jersey to show the fans when he was in DC to open the season w/ the vikes last year, totally unnecessary and classless . . .

Okay I think it's safe for me to make an appearance.

WWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

THAT'S SJKin' RIGHT YOU SJKers! YEEHAWW!

Wow.

Seattle is very beatable. We could also get by Green Bay...and find ourselves in the NFC Championship Game

sullivan.jm

if we do get through seattle, it's down to big D we go. no doubt about that. lowest seed plays highest seed.

Hmmmmmm...close this game out, boys! CLOSE IT OUT!

Bubblage? Bubblement? Bubbleline?

This guy Austin has dropped two touchdowns today.

Hey let's not jump ahead too far peeps. Let's close this out. Let's make it an exclamation point.

Then we can think about next week. One week at a time. One week at a time. That's all we've earned.

WOOOOOO!!!

HTTR
HTTR
HTTR
HTTR

2nd sack of the day. Time to move on. Way to do it for Sean.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I believe St. Joe has vindicated himself.

I apologize for ever doubting him.

after today, we will have played 6 games against the 5 other NFC playoff teams. the only team we would not have played against will be the Seahawks, who we have the privilege of visiting next weekend.

@ Dallas L 28-23
vs Dallas W 27-?

@ GB L 17-14

@ TB L 13-19

vs NYG L 24-17
@ NYG W 22-10

collective record of 2-4 (shoulda won all 4 of those losses).

biggest loss = 7 pts @ TB
biggest win = TODAY

I think we have a great shot at beating seattle next week.
this shows that we are competitive against ALL NFC teams. I think our boys can do some major damage if we stick together.

check that...biggest loss was 7 points vs. NYG.

eh, the redskins shouldn't have won the first dallas game. They could have won it, but it wasn't a "should have", they didn't captilize on the majority of Dallas's mistakes.

As I mentioned, the NFC is wide open. We have every right to be optimistic about this playoff bracket.

wow! What a comeback by the Vikes!

Wade Phillips sort of reminds me of Elmer Fudd

Anyone notice that the technology for the yellow line has improved so much that it's present on almost all camera angles? Very cool.

I actually like Wade. He's an old timer who has paid his dues and finally has a shot at a title.

ok, safe to start looking ahead, no?

Let's say we go to seattle and get some revenge. . .

we get to play in Big d. . .

let's say GB beats whoever wins that thriller in TB . . .

we get a chance to get some more revenge. . .

now back to the regularly scheduled programming . . .

not taking a shot at him, just that's what it reminded me of.

Oh, and dallas is now back to 0 yards of total rushing. They were up to 1 :)

BTW I took down my Xmas tree today. You may (probably not) recall that I put it up at the beginning of our winning streak.

So now I have to find something for the playoffs. I still haven't decided if I should come back to RI for fear of jinxes.

Decisions decisons.

GO DEFENSE!!

sfskin, I think you and Lisa should huddle and come up with a list of superstitions for all the hamsters.

I'm sure this has been said in the last few weeks but to all the Santana haters out there . . . quote a 12 year old

"EAT IT you BAMFs!"

that shot of JC bothered me, he seemed so uniterested in what he was being shown.

JC is looking at Sam Hollenbach write on a clipboard. For all we know, it's a recipe for prime rib.

Diddy - that would be a very looooongg list.

I think Lisa and I have a novel length list of superstitions.

Plus coming up with a list is probably bad luck. . . . .

: )

Yeah that shot at JC was not called for. How many of you are looking forward to the Lisa/RB date? lol

PDiddy: and missing out on a good recipe for prime rib isn't a horrible offense?

Come on don't people get that Toddball is working because TC has been in this offense for 7 years? That going to another team just ain't gonna be the same?

What a TODDTASTIC game!

jm, perhaps you should chaperone?

does Wade go for it on 4th?

TODDTACULAR!

I love you St. Joe!

darn. skins game on saturday. at least it the sat night game (hopefully?)

Seriously this has been on balance a completely rotter of a year and to end it with a kick A$$ game against Cowpukes at home and getting into the playoffs!!!

Well I couldn't ask for anymore and I hope it is a harbinger for 2008!!

THANK YOU REDSKINS!!! THANK YOU RI!!!!

WOOOO!!!!

Who wants some? WHO WANTS SOME?!!!

Sean is with us. BBBRRRIIINNNGGG IIITTT!!!

denver recovers in field goal range! (not that it matters)

beep beep

I am so proud of this team. So happy they did it for Sean.

OMG, the announcers in Denver are horrible!

tis great and SF, hope you enjoyed your time in the CO mtns. . .

so is childress going ot be toast after this?

seems like a pretty big collapse. . .

so giants @ TB on sunday 1pm usually should mean the skins will play saturday in the night game (8pm?)

if i recall correctly, the conference that gets the late game saturday gets the early game sunday, which would give us the late game. however, i think it's quite unfair that the giants get 8 days between games. not cool.

they announced, skins have afternoon game on sat. sad for me, but oh well.

"P:
BJ brought out his old skins jersey to show the fans when he was in DC to open the season w/ the vikes last year, totally unnecessary and classless . . .

That's alright. We showed BJ "what time it is" tonight. He's wiping his tears with that jersey wishing he was still in DC.

"I am so proud of this team. So happy they did it for Sean.

Me, too. They showed what they are really made of tonight against Dallas. It's like they were saying, "Dallas Cowgirls ... you are not TAKING anything from us!"

They did it WITH Sean. He was there in every one of our guys and coaches...even today. Especially today.

Can't think of a team in the current me-first era of professional sports that is more admirable than this one. What an amazing story. What a perfect coach!

Forgot to mention how perfect the final margin of victory is. Yes, Sean was there and will live on in the "21" point win forever!

HTTR!

Impressive win both offensively and defensively.

Anyone know why NYGiants played Sat but get to wait until Sun for their playoff game, While we played Sunday and get scheduled to go all the way out there to play on Saturday?

For all of you who were whining about Gibbs and everything else 4 weeks ago, take a look at the link below. Skins had the second most difficult schedule in the NFL.
