The-Hogs.net - Washington Football Discussion, Redskins to Commanders Era

Did anyone see Danny in the locker room right after the game?? He was like, "PHYSICAL!! THAT'S HOW YOU WIN!" He was freaking out, it was great

If I was in the locker room I would have been freaking out too.

Slow down big guy. Most improved team from week one...I'll give you that one.

ummm, hey there is no "slowing down" brother.
We are number 1! Don't buzz kill the win

Any time Tony R(H)omo cries is a good time

I saw JC again had no picks, good

I saw CP had over 100 yards rushing, good

I saw 20 text messages on my phone from dejected Cowpunk fans, PRICELESS!!!

Unfortunately, I missed most of the game because I was a groomsman in a wedding. But I saw the last two minutes of the game and I was happy that we could send Cowpunks fans home sad for the last Cowpunks/Redskins game EVER in the toilet bowl known as Texas Stadium.

HAIL TO THE REDSKINS!!!!

thunder, you missed a classic skins game/win. hopefully you recorded the game. redskins dominated.

HUGE game for Rogers. Huge.

I thought Smoot played great too, in the first quarter on third down he jumps in front of witten and ends the cowboys drive, huge statement.

Yes, I used my telepathic power to motivate CR. I was yelling at him "Play like a first round pick!"

Then he did. So thank me for that.

That was a dang good game to be at and it was awesome. Sat next to some dang good 'Skins fans at the game from both DC and LA. Ate at a restaurant night before near some who came from Las Cruces, New Mexico. Was called over and got something to drink from some 'Skin fans from up in Oklahoma after the game. Very well travelled game for 'Skin fans, a lot of people much farther than my four and a half hour drive.

Got a lot of autographs after the game, including right after from Khary Campbell whose child was born RIGHT before the game.

After the game was probably the best treat. I was sitting over near the player bus area and was talking to a nice lady who ended up being Chris Horton's mother. She was extremely nice before I realized who she was, and later after that she helped kind of drag over both Chris Horton and Jon Jansen.

Was a great contingent at the game. Was very happy to finally see a Redskins game. Been to two in DC and this was my second in Dallas and this is the first time I have seen a win after three straight fourth quarter leads wasted in a loss.

I'm sure we'll see the main article in this week's edition of "The Loser Papers", but I wanted to include this article from the Dallas Morning News on the lack of contribution from T.O. (especially in the first half) due to Shawn Springs' excellent play.

The article includes some choice quotes from both players, and it's obvious that after 2 subpar games in a row T.O. is inching closer to a blowup. It was great to see the Pukes try to coddle this idiot with touches while ignoring Crayton and the running game (where were Barber and Felix Jones?) in the second half.

I think Phillips and Garrett allowed themselves to think more about keeping T.O. happy to the detriment of the overall offensive gameplan in the second half. They called plays like they were down by 3 scores even though the game was close for just about all of the second half.

All is well in Redskins land! WOOOO!

What a game. Loved the consistent play of the defense. Jason Campbell played excellent , actually everyone had a good game. Except maybe a two specific players I wont name.

Hail to the Redskins babY!

I never realized how big Springs is. Really thick. Just the man to put on TO, which stands for taken out.

Only $40 for beer? Must be cheap in Texas Stadium...

He ain't never been to Texas Stadium, that's for sure. I made the mistake of saying "you drive and I'll buy the beer" for that monday night game in 2005, and it cost more than the game tickets!

I was too drunk to post after the game yesterday....couldn't figure out which of the three keyboards to use. Now, I'm just hung over, but happy.

The big thing here is that the Redskins beat he Cowboys. They didn't just win the game because of mistakes or poor play from the Boys. We actually beat them head to head, with them playing a good game. That is HUGE.

And what else can you say about Campbell other than rock solid performance? Three straight games is no fluke, and Zorny has worked a miracle with Campbell.

I'm beginning to think that what we are seeing here is a REAL coach working and getting the best out of his players. I'm seeing a team that believes in their coach and coaches that trust their players. I'm seeing an ex QB coaching a previously throttled player to excellence.

Blache has the defense playing lights out. Zorn has Campbell and the entire offense playing lights out.

Who was it that said this team is re-building? They were in the top 8 last year, and have to be considered the top 4 now.

CT said,

I doubt that there is anyone on the board who was around for the previous glory years of the 40's. That means, it pretty much began for all of us old-timers with the arrival of Lombardi, no matter how long we had been fans before that.

...and also, for the benefit of long-suffering young-ones, that we suffered through season after season of the worst football ever played. Coach Mike Nixon. The season when the only victory was over the first-year Cowboys. QB Ralph Guglielmi. The '58 season (approximately) when the Street & Smith pre-season magazine titled their Redskin section "They Play, and Pray, for an Upset".

So much pain made it so much better when George Allen took the team to the playoffs in '71, back when only four teams went from each conference. Went to the playoffs even though Sonny missed most of the season with a broken arm, and Charley broke a leg in mid-season. One reason why Larry Brown belongs in the Hall of Fame, and why we are complimenting Portis when we say he reminds us of Brown.

This is double-fun, isn't it?

It is a beautiful fall day here in the City of Brotherly Love on this fine, fine morning. As I walked the streets downtown to my office this morning with a little bounce in my step I could not help but reflect on the sad, confused and hung over faces of the Iggle faitful as they trudged to work. Seeing their sad fat faces made me think that today is going to be a great day.

I don't blame you one bit for being hung-over. I tied on a few yesterday myself.

Why would you want that? We are far better off not getting respect. Being the "best" team draws un-needed attention. Far better if nobody sees you coming.

I don't understand why people get so bent out of shape about this. The "experts" do us a favor by discounting our team.

I agree Trey. I think the Pies are a perfect example of a team that got caught up in the media hype and forget to execute. They're so busy listening to the media talk about how great they are, they failed to do the very thing that got them that hype. Let them keep doing it.

I don't care if we get respect or not. I'm not sure why some are so caught up in that stuff. I think this team likes being the underdog, it's far more motivating. There's no question the Pies have a talented team. But the Skins have more heart and played that way.


With that said, it will be priceless listening to Trey Wingo and Stink today having to squirm and admit the Skins aren't as bad as they portrayed. Stink was bashing the Skins last week and said we have no chance.

Yeah, I'm a bit hung over this morning as well, but it's well worth it!!!!

For those who care, we're ranked at #4 by SI. 1. Giants 2. Pukes 4. Skins 6. Iggles

I'm shocked we're up that high to be honest.

Y'all were loud as heck, too. The "COOOOOOLEY" chant could be clearly heard every time he got involved in a play! Y'all were Awesome!

Gotta think that could be heard from the field... 'turds players must have been going "What the heck?"

I hope he can involve him more and more.

I want to see some two TE sets with him a Fred.
