Been a long time since we had a game this big this late in a season. Been a generation since we had one with a Redskins team that feels like it might actually be driving into daylight.
20 years of disappointment are a heavy weight on the shoulders though....it's not easy to think about tonight and not feel that familiar pit in the gut....not find yourself thinking we've seen this movie before, over and over, and the ending is always that glassy stare at the screen.
There's something else this time, though. Something that keeps trying to elbow past the pillars of doubt and even---dare we say it---dread.
Nerves.
I haven't been nervous before a game in a long time.
I think it means something.
I believe I might remember the feeling...vaguely.
I seems to recall it being associated with just how high the tide might rise ...
The Giants? Here? Monday Night?
Bring it.
Hail.
