You got me thinking...has there ever been a better opening game than when we cracked open a bottle of whoop-ass on Detroit in the 1991 opener. Talk about making a statement. Rypien lit up Detroit for like 400 yards...it was relentless, merciless, brutal. 45 to nothing was the final score. Wayne Fontes was practially on his knees praying for the slaughter to stop by the 4th quarter. And Detroit was a good team that year. The Skins met them again in the NFC championship game and beat them 41-10 on thier way to to SB XXVI.
I was literally on the field for that game since my high school marching band played half-time. We sat right behind the home bench...within arms length of the players. Incredible.
I would love for Al and Joe to make that kind of opening statement again this year. I want opposing teams to shit their pants thinking about having to play the Skins. Parity doesn't really allow for that kind of domination any more, but man was it fun to watch.
