Hail to the Redskins! (3 Viewers)

Relax killer. You still need to win another 20 or 30 straight just to even up the series.I was there. The skins whipped us badly. That is easily the loudest I have ever seen that stadium. They did a good job of getting the fans loud early with some enormous slob screaming for the 12th man.
I've been to Texas stadium, and I have traveled all over the US, but I have never seen so many hillbillies in my entire life all collected in one place, wearing the usual camo and maroon, sporting Marlboros, Budwiesers, and drooling from the mouth.
Oh and #### Snyder and his $7 beers.

I was there too
I've been to 17 different NFL stadiums over the last 30 or so years, and that was the loudest game I've ever been to. Absolute dominance by both the offensive and defensive lines of the Redskins. Philip Daniels looked like Reggie out there 
Losing Randy Thomas will hurt, but give big Ray Brown a week to work out the kinks from his old bones and he will be just fine. If I had to guess I would say that they will be resigning my old buddy Lennie Friedman to back up the interior of the line.

I guess losing turns off your sarcasim detector?
Yeah, I can't stand that guy. Every game, they say, "Ladies and gentlemen, Chris Paul!!!" And I'm like, "Who?" Then he gets up there and yells and screams and most fans just roll their eyes. We don't need a freakin' fan motivator before a game like that. Having "We Want Dallas" choreographed (not sure if that's the right word) before the game was lame. Those types of things are cool when they just happen on their own.
I would say, "Then, just don't drink," but I'm guessing you needed a few.
Yea that's who that was! (Chris Paul) And Yes I got the sarcasm, I just wanted/needed to throw that out there.And again yes, I needed a few beers!I guess losing turns off your sarcasim detector?Yeah, I can't stand that guy.

Unlike Torren Tucker, I wasn't alseep. Unlike most Redskin fans, I stayed to the very end, even in such defeat. What traffic son? It's all about being aggressive. The people who have a hard time getting out of parking lots can't drive. I live in Silver Spring, and I was home in 30 minutes from the time I got into my truck.Were you the cowpuke fan that was caught sleeping on TV??? Glad you enjoyed your visit at Fed Ex, I'm sure you enjoyed the traffic and the drive home even better.

I made it out to Centreville in about an hour driving time. (I stopped for dinner, so it really took me about 1:30-1:45 to get home.) But, I don't have a parking pass and I don't park at the stadium. If the Redskins ever offer me a parking pass, I'll probably turn it down.Unlike Torren Tucker, I wasn't alseep. Unlike most Redskin fans, I stayed to the very end, even in such defeat.

I think with the 2 Skins wins this year and with both teams being fairly good we finally have a good old Redskin-Cowboy rivalry again. I hope it continues for years to come.You're the last person on this board that can even remotly think of using a BS smiley. Sorry if you think it's BS, but it's true.Unlike Torren Tucker, I wasn't alseep. Unlike most Redskin fans, I stayed to the very end, even in such defeat. What traffic son?

Washington: vs NYG, at PhillyDallas: at Carolina, vs StLAtl: at TB, vs CarMin: at Balt, vs ChiI'm starting to think that Washington can get in by going 9-7. With Baltimore now 5-2 at home and hosting Minn outside on a frigid night, I don't see any of these other teams going 2-0.
The Skins can still make the playoffs if they go 9-7 if the following happen:Atlanta loses to either Tampa Bay or Carolina Dallas loses to either Carolina OR St. Louis Minnesota loses to either Baltimore OR Chicago All these could be possible. I'd rather the Skins just take care of business and win out.
Wide receiver Santana Moss and left tackle Chris Samuels have earned trips to the 2006 Pro Bowl, the Redskins announced on Wednesday.
For Moss, it is his first Pro Bowl nod; for Samuels, it is his third.
Tune in to Redskins.com later this afternoon for reaction and more from Redskins Park.
In addition, running back Clinton Portis and H-back Chris Cooley (listed among fullbacks) are first alternates and safety Sean Taylor and linebacker Marcus Washington are second alternates. In the case of injuries to Pro Bowl starters or reserves at their positions, these players still could earn a trip to Hawaii.
Rather surprising is the omission of any Redskins' defensive player--particularly Washington, cornerback Shawn Springs and Taylor--from the Pro Bowl squad. The Redskins have the NFL's eighth-ranked defense.
Santana Moss
Moss, a fifth-year player who arrived in Washington last offseason in a trade, has emerged as one of the NFL's top-flight receivers this season. His speed makes him a legitimate deep ball threat and gives him the ability to turn short passes into long gains.
To this point, Moss's two fourth-quarter touchdowns to help beat the Dallas Cowboys 14-13 in Week 2 were his signature moments of the 2005 season. He also had a 30-yard catch in overtime to help beat Seattle and a memorable 78-yard touchdown on a wide receiver screen pass in Week 6 against Kansas City.
For the season, Moss has 75 catches for 1,240 yards and six touchdowns. His 16.5 yards-per-catch average is second-best among NFC wide receivers with more than 40 catches. His reception total is 10th-best in the league and fifth-best in the NFC and his receiving yards total is third-best in the league and second-best in the NFC.
Chris Samuels
Samuels, in his sixth NFL season, has started all 14 games so far this season and provided strong blocking in the run game and in pass protection. He has previously made the Pro Bowl in 2001 and 2002.
The 6-5, 310-pounder has helped running back Clinton Portis rush for 1,296 yards and eight touchdowns this season. Overall, the Redskins have rushed for 1,876 yards, seventh-best in the NFL.
On Moss's 78-yard touchdown catch-and-run in Kansas City, it was Samuels who leveled a key block to help spring Moss on the wide receiver screen.
Samuels may have turned in his best performance of the season last Sunday against Dallas. He was among the most excited players during pre-game, encouraging his teammates and firing up fans in the stands.
In the game, Samuels shut down pass rusher DeMarcus Ware, limiting him to just two tackles, and helped open holes for a Redskins ground game that compiled 171 rushing yards.
The NFL's best will meet in Hawaii on Sunday, Feb. 12, for the 2006 Pro Bowl. The game will be broadcast on ESPN at 7:30 p.m. ET.

Atlanta loses to TB and maybe CarolinaDallas loses to Carolina
Minnesota loses to Chicago and maybe Balt.
Good thing for Skins fans because they won't win out.
Santana Moss.
I'm not sure who to root for. While the safe bet is to root for Atl, Min, and Dallas to lose, if Carolina, Chicago, NYG, and TB lose out(I know thats not likely), the Skins could be the #2 seed and get a first round bye. Carolina and NYG lost today. If Atlanta beats TB, then all we need is Chicago to lose at GB and we're still in contention for the bye.

That was a more impressive win than vs. the Cowboys last week. Dallas was just off their game, and had no response after they were punched in the mouth early. The Giants, OTOH, weren't beaten until they missed that 4th down conversion in the 4th quarter - it was a dog fight up until then.I'm the happiest I've been as a 'Skins fan for years.
