[quote=CASKINS;979700]Okay I got a question should the Lions and Packers win next week (and I have a strong feeling they will) Do we sit RGIII or do we go for the home game?[/quote]

This is a question that doesn't even need to be asked.

I think Griffin, and the team, would explode if the coaches tried to keep him out of that game.

No! This team is winning the division, they are so hungry and even if we get in before the game starts I'd be shocked if anyone sits

Re: Redskins 27 Eagles 20 post game thread
 

Nobody would pass up the chance to win the division and host a playoff game. C'mon now.

• It's time to quit scoffing at the idea of Washington making a deep playoff run, and dare we even say it, reaching the Super Bowl? If the Redskins win next week at home against Dallas to clinch its first NFC East title since 1999 (wrap your mind around that one), they will enter January with an NFC-high seven-game winning streak and the kind of confidence that can be contagious in the playoffs.
They'd be far hotter in terms of a potential Super Bowl run than the 9-7 Giants appeared to be upon winning the NFC East in 2011, even with Eli Manning at quarterback rather than rookie Robert Griffin III. And while the notion of Washington winning at Atlanta, Green Bay or San Francisco in the postseason might sound implausible, is it really that much more of a reach than New York winning at 15-1 Green Bay or 14-3 San Francisco in last year's playoffs?
The Redskins have been playing with house money for weeks now, ever since their head coach Mike Shanahan shrewdly decided to take the pressure off his team by all but conceding the season and looking toward 2013 (I suppose he could have been that brilliant, but I doubt it). If there's a bigger karma team in this year's postseason -- or almost in it at this point -- I don't know who it would be outside of Washington.

Re: Redskins 27 Eagles 20 post game thread
 

Just wanted to state my excitement for every time i watch Alfred Morris. What amazes me most about that man is how he can grind and grind and grind down the defense and just keep on grinding until he wears them down and then just begins to run all over people. He started off with 18 yards in the first half but didn't let that get to him and the coaching staff continues to feed it to him and he finished with 73 yards in the second half. HES A BEAST.

[B]A storm is coming Washington...
An F-5 tornado of terrible destruction. A hurricane of massive proportion.

That's right Washington. The Dallas Cowboys are coming to town and nothing can save your Redskins from being the victims of a team that has proven over the last half of the season that there is absolutely no quit in them. No matter the deficit or circumstances they believe and have shown that they can overcome.

They had a tough game today, a game many said they had no chance of winning with 5 minutes left...but these Cowboys are different and will not give up so easily.

And now they're angry.

Get ready for the War of 1812 part 2 D.C.. Only instead of your rat infested town being burnt to the ground it will be whatever hopes and aspirations you might have had regarding your pathetic football team.

You will be crushed, demolished and outright embarrassed.

No need to practice or prepare because no amount of readiness will save you from utter destruction.[/B]

This was magnificent -- nothing like a good laugh to put you on top of the world

[quote=skinsfan69;979468]I thought Kyle did get cute a few times....terrible call on the shovel pass on 3-10.[/quote]

I didn't see it that way. Kyle used a limited playbook to protect RG. It was a gutsy all team performance similar to what the Steelers did in their prime. We pounded the rock even though big gains were hard to find.

This was a statement game in many regards. For RG as the undisputed team leader, for Tue coaches, and the franchise.
