Random Commanders Thoughts

[tshile]

Quiet around here given its Dallas week. Where's all the optimistic threads?

 

[Boone]

It'll hear up over the next couple days. If we're going to have any kind of a season at all, gotta have this one. We can't afford to let Dallas and Philly put distance between them and us. Got to have this one.

 

[Dead Money]

Just in time!

My enthusiasm for this game almost equals the optimism I had at the beginning of the season, before things went downhill...
Seeing as we get at least 2 key players back, 2 weeks of rest, our known resilience that we had after last year's bye, momentum coming off a win, gradual improvement in RG3 and the defense, the thought of being a win away from first place, and of course the whole rivalry thing. It's a new season now.

 

[Dead Money]

I'm so geeked up for this game I can't stand it..... the rivalry, the fact that we eeked out a win before our bye, our domination of them last year... the fact I'LL BE THERE!!! Sunday night can't come soon enough! HAIL COWBITCHES!!!

 

[Fear The Spear]

the fact I'LL BE THERE!!!

Are you on a cross-country road-trip to go to every Skins' road game this year ?

I wish! That would have been much cooler than how it actually happened!

Boss owns two boats- one on east coast one one west coast. Had to move the east coast boat from Boston to Annapolis and ALMOST made the opener.... then went to the Detroit game because I got stuck there for repairs. Bonus. I wasn't supposed to be there but cool.

I was planning on going to Oakland with a buddy from LA but he backed out. Also either Denver or Lambeau but my trip to the East coast made the GB trip too difficult. I talked my buddy Mark into Oakland since he used to live up there and then he talked me into Dallas. (no arm twisting). Since it looked like a bunch of guys from the ES tailgate were going to Denver, I signed on for that too. Now it looks like my buddy Dave who ALWAYS backs out, might actually show up to Denver... cool. Phew.

Sux that the team isn't playing as well as they could, but its great to hang out with some of the fans I have made friends with from all over the country and try to cheer these guys into doing something!! We were joking in Oakland that we may have witnessed their only win this year! Ok not funny.

Wish I could make the Chargers game to meet some of you I haven't yet! Maybe we'll just all meet at the SUPERBOWL!!!

Maybe we'll just all meet at the SUPERBOWL!!!

Could be a memorable one.
May be the first Super Bowl, and SB half-time show, done in a blizzard.

There's 2 minutes left in the game.
You start at your 20 yard line.
All you need to do to win the game is get within field range, and convert the kick.
Who do you choose as your QB ?
Tony Romo ? or Rex Grossman ?

A bullet.

 

[Jugband McGillicuddy]

I need a Skins win this weekend. Not want. Need.

That is all.

This makes me warm all over:

Grant Paulsen ‏@granthpaulsen 10m
Great nugget. RT @michaelpRTD Of the NFL's six worst defenses, the #Redskins play five of them over the next six weeks.

 

[Henry]

I take it the sixth one is us?

 

[Goaldeje]

Seems likely. Which means if you include practice, our O will play all 6 lowest ranked D's in the next five weeks...

Had a little fun with the graphics software this afternoon.

 

[Goaldeje]

So nice, I had to like it twice.

Rex hands down. You know why? Because neither would be trusted to pass in that situation, so it would be 3 handoffs and a kick. And which one of those guys do you trust not to fumble the snap on a kick?

Gotta agree, BB you did good..

Karma, two years of penalty for us... for them, no playoffs last year and so far this year it's heading in the right direction. Just don't let them go down so far that they actually look forward to draft day.

If karma continues, we sweep 'em big time and the Skins 'n Cowpokers fight it out for relevance and playoffs. (only mention the pokes because they got some taken too )

 

[Goaldeje]

I'm fine with that scenario. As long as we whoop some Cowboy ass, of course.

No, you wouldn't be handing off three straight times, if you started at your own 20, as I mentioned
