Which One is Better: Blocked FG or Moss 2 TD Game?
 

While this one feels great. Dallas owned us for the past few years until Moss stunned them with those 2 TDs in a game we were losing and showing no offense until late in the 4th.

They both feel great though.

Re: Which One is Better: Blocked FG or Moss 2 TD Game?
 

I would describe the difference thusly:

In that game, I though we would lose right up until about a half second before Moss caught the second TD. In this game, I thought we would win right up until A.A. got beat by Whitten. So, last year's game felt like we stole it. This year felt like we had it, lost it, and then stole it.

Re: Which One is Better: Blocked FG or Moss 2 TD Game?
 

In my opinion, last year's game gets the nod, at least for now. Last year's win put us in the playoffs and kept Dallas out. If we somehow manage to squeak into the playoffs and this game proves to be the catalyst for the turn-around, then I'll give the nod to this game.

Re: Which One is Better: Blocked FG or Moss 2 TD Game?
 

this one, because it happened in the last seconds of the game rather than the last 3 mins. 35 yarder or whatever i thought for sure that was it, but a blocked kick, penalty, then a fg on an untimed down...definitely crazier than last year

Isn't the win that put us in the playoffs last year though the second one and not the one with Moss' TDs

Re: Which One is Better: Blocked FG or Moss 2 TD Game?
 

ST made a huge play this year with the scoop on the blocked kick. And he clinched the win at Dallas last year when he knocked the snot out of Crayton on 4th down.

Re: Which One is Better: Blocked FG or Moss 2 TD Game?
 

while today's was definitely crazier, last years was definitely more awesome.

it established Moss as awesome player, and it was in Dallas in their face. less to do with luck and more to do with awesome.

Re: Which One is Better: Blocked FG or Moss 2 TD Game?
 

i dont know, but its great when we get a game each season against dallas with wild shit at the end to beat them

Re: Which One is Better: Blocked FG or Moss 2 TD Game?
 

it's so hard to say.

how rare is a freakin' blocked kick in the nfl let alone one at the end of the game during which you get a penalty which gives you an untimed down for an attempt for the kicker to redeem himself and win the game instead of losing outright or going into overtime

whew...

Officially yes. I think the post meant that the game with Moss' TDs was the catalyst for our season.

Up to that point, the team looked like the same ol' Skins from the past few years.

I agree with this!
So last year's would get my nod, but ANY time we beat the cowpatties is my favorite!

And now that I think about it last year's was during that Ring of Honor ceremony the Cowboys had right?

Re: Which One is Better: Blocked FG or Moss 2 TD Game?
 

At the end of the day, it was a much needed, GREAT WIN, that will be remembered and talked about for years to come!

yessir. and on monday night for all to see.

:FIREdevil <- Moss (picture Roy Williams behind the flames)

Re: Which One is Better: Blocked FG or Moss 2 TD Game?
 

Personally, I'd say this one was better, but only because I was there. From our seats we couldn't see if either or the kicks were good or not so we basically had to go by the endzone crowd's reaction. It was like we won the freaking Super Bowl in our section.
What a great birthday weekend.

(AMD, How was Medieval Times?)

I'm gonna throw my hat towards this one. While last year's comeback was bittersweet, this one has more significance, more of a momentum turnaround...

Medieval Times was as ridiculous as I had hoped. I got really drunk and quoted the Cable Guy like it was my job (I am such a dork). So that night, plus the Maryland win (that was a safety damnit), and the Skins yesterday, so niiiiiiiiiiiice. I just wish I had seen Borat to really complete it all.

If Santana had made the second TD last year as time expired I would say that was better, but the fact that the game ended in such a weird way yesterday means it was the better of the two, IMO.

Re: Which One is Better: Blocked FG or Moss 2 TD Game?
 

this one was better because we will never ever see this again (watch it happen next sunday). where as scoring 2 td in 4mins is still amazing and unbeliveable, but missing a kick , blocking a kick, making a kick is so much sweeter.

Re: Which One is Better: Blocked FG or Moss 2 TD Game?
 

I was talking to my friend as we walked down the FedEx ramps with our heads held high and we were saying how rare it is to see a safety in the NFL, how rare it is to see a blocked (game winning) FG in the NFL, and how rare it is to see a game actually get extended by one play because of a penalty which then allows a team to win in regulation in the NFL; now, put all those together and you get a game the likes of which you will never see again.
Awesome.

Re: Which One is Better: Blocked FG or Moss 2 TD Game?
 

This win is just as sweet as Brunell to Moss in Sept 05. The ending was more improbable than last year. This is payback for Testaverde to Crayton in '04, and Aikman to Irvin to come back from 35-14 down and win in OT.

Re: Which One is Better: Blocked FG or Moss 2 TD Game?
 

i think this one is sweeter b/c i turned off the tv right before the 2 moss td's and missed it. but i saw this whole thing

Re: Which One is Better: Blocked FG or Moss 2 TD Game?
 

For me, being at the game yesterday made this one sweeter. I've never seen a crazier finish with opposing teams each having a game winning FG on consecutive plays.

Re: Which One is Better: Blocked FG or Moss 2 TD Game?
 

I think this one was a lot better! What is the probability of a blocked game winning FG? Then to get the extra 15 yds. because of a face-mask penalty. It's about time the "rules" worked in our favor!

Re: Which One is Better: Blocked FG or Moss 2 TD Game?
 

Its hard to say, I mean this one is so fresh in my mind....but I remember vividly my reactions to both games.....and this one was the craziest I've ever gone, I was litterally near tears after the game jumping up and down like Joe Carter going down the first baseline after hitting hte walkoff in game 6 to win the world series.

I think this is the greatest win I've ever seen, but man oh man. Crazy!

Re: Which One is Better: Blocked FG or Moss 2 TD Game?
 

I was at the game too, AMD. I have never felt such crazy awesome energy in my life. Still buzzing.

I am not going to choose: they were both perfect in their own way. Last year's was in Dallas, and picture-perfect in terms of football execution (at least on the TDs), and it was on MNF during the roids anal ring of horror celebration, etc.

But I agree that this had to be the wierdest, most improbable series of football circumstances I have ever seen. The block. The amazing reverse field run-back. The 15 yard face mask to both move the ball into FG range AND to give us one more play with 0:00 on the clock. And then the crazy hook shot wind aided knuckle duck by local kid Nick the Kick the day after a big UMD win on a last second FG. And against Dallas, when our season looked to be over. Wow. Once in a lifetime. The lifetime of the Universe, that is....

Re: Which One is Better: Blocked FG or Moss 2 TD Game?
 

I'm going with last year's. It was just such a milestone for this generation of Skins. Just look at the raw emotion of Joe Gibbs last year versus this year and I think that describes the difference. This was a crazy win, no doubt, but I will never in my life forget last year's amazing Monday night game. It's just the type of game you remember where you were when...... Yesterday's? I'm sure I'll remember it for a very long time, but I don't think the emotion was as strong yesterday as last year. Just my opinion.

Re: Which One is Better: Blocked FG or Moss 2 TD Game?
 

Not even close for me. 2005, in Dallas is the greatest win ever.

I still watch that game and laugh my ass off every time I see the fan with the look of disbelief on her face.

We were in [B][U]their house[/U][/B], the commentator had just given the 'Parcells is 73-0 when leading by 13 or more in the 4th Qtr' and all was lost.

Then the long bomb...That's an unbelieveable win.

Re: Which One is Better: Blocked FG or Moss 2 TD Game?
 

anyredskins victory over dall-ass is good,especially when T.O. drops 3 passes,
but i'll take yesterday's win over the 2 td night anytime!i feel kind of odd cause i hate the cowboy organization,but i like bill parcells.

Obviously a 'tits' man, then?

Re: Which One is Better: Blocked FG or Moss 2 TD Game?
 

Last year we went into Dallas' own house, during their Ring of Honor ceremony night, and broke a losing streak to them by humiliating them in the last few minutes of the game. That's pretty hard to beat in my book.

Add to that the 36-7 or whatever the score was for the second game, and last year felt like pretty much the greatest year against Dallas I can ever remember.

Except that most fans were asleep when it happened last year. I slept throught most of the 3rd qtr. But I did wake up with about 8 minutes left.

I have to go with yesterday because they had 9 lives. It was wierd, even when Vandy lined up, I never had the feeling that the game was over.

When Crayton caught the ball in '04 I felt the feeling. When Davis fumbled the game away I felt the feeling. Not yesterday.

wow this is the exact same thing I was going to say right down to the fact that it was the day after my birthday.I was sitting on the 40 yard line 8 rows up behind the dallas bench.We were all yelling at t.o and parcells the whole game.The best part was when the cowgirls fan in front of me was talking shit right before the kick that we blocked.To see the look on his face while Taylor was returning the ball was just priceless.All I kept saying was "Im sorry what were you saying".Then when we nailed that field goal all he could do was hang his head in shame.So yeah i definetly have to give the nod to this years game.



p.s. Has anyone ever noticed how after the game is over the losing teams fans just stare out onto the field as if somthing was going to happen to change the outcome of the game?

Re: Which One is Better: Blocked FG or Moss 2 TD Game?
 

My vote goes to the one last year, Moss's two TDs.

For one, I was at a good buddies house who is Dallas fan. He made home made pizza for us. Since that game he has vowed to never make me food again, lol.
