Dear God:

I would like football season to start tomorrow.

That is all.

... and for the Redskins to go 19-0.

NOW, that is all.

Amen.

Re: Skins get season opener against giants Sept 4, Thursday p.m. game.
 

I went to opening day last year but I guess I wont go this year, seeing as how its in NY. I need some football. Not want.

I NEED IT. So long to wait but the draft will hold me over for a bit I guess.....

Man....I sort of hate the fact that we have to open our season up against not only a tough divisional foe, but one that is a defending Super Bowl Champion team. But, it should be an exciting game. Maybe this means that the 'skins season will get softer toward the end of the season when we make a strong run for the playoffs.

Don't look foreward to opening up against the SBC on the road. It will give us a good idea of where we are early.

Re: Skins get season opener against giants Sept 4, Thursday p.m. game.
 

I'm actually kind of looking forward to opening the season on the road for once. I dont think we did since San Diego in 2001 (lord knows that didnt go well)...but I think we will be playing a real tough game, and this should be a good test for us, and like longtime just said, this hsould let us know where we are at pretty quickly.

Tivo the damn thing then.
By the way...the last 2 times the Giants won the Superbowl ('86 & '90), who won the year after? 3's a charm.

From AP:
[I]"The Super Bowl winner traditionally hosts the game. The Redskins’ participation was confirmed by a person familiar with the NFL schedule who spoke on condition of anonymity because the league has not announced it."[/I]

I must have slept through our 2002 Super Bowl Championship. Jokes aside, I think I like playing the "champs" in this situation. Lots of hype around the heroes, they sometimes lose sight of the game. That and our history in such games ('83, '88, '92) is just horrible.

Re: Skins get season opener against giants Sept 4, Thursday p.m. game.
 

I would be very, very, surprised if the Skins win the game.

Re: Skins get season opener against giants Sept 4, Thursday p.m. game.
 

I was just saying to my friend i wished that the skins got the opening game. it would be much better at home but whatever, I might just make the trip up there for the game.

Nice to see the glowing optimism already.

We beat them in NY last year, so why not again this year?

Re: Skins get season opener against giants Sept 4, Thursday p.m. game.
 

How can you even think about predicting the outcome of a game right now? This just kills me...we have the complete offseason, injuries and all kinds of other stuff to get through before we even think about Sept 4th and whether or not they would win or not.

Making any predictions right now is definitely ri-goddamn-diculous.
