Literally. He's in the lockerroom.

He was kicking butt as DE tonight, too... he was there for a couple of plays and was nasty.

Every time we get to a big situation, I keep thinking, "ok, now is when we pull out all the stops." But we never do, do we? It doesn't see, like the coaches are willing to do whatever it takes, but instead just want to minimize the chance of criticism from taking a chance.

Speaking of players the Redskins let get away... how about David Akers. We dump him after missing two field goals over 50 yards and the Eagles pick him up. Now he's one of the elite kickers in the league who made the ALl Decade Team for the 2000's.

I'm 50% of that. You take a guess which one :)

They should let Rex finish the Half

Thanks for leaving more for the rest of us. Especially with the holidays, family and all.

Yea I noticed that. I thought that the Haynesworth NT experiment was over though?

Fitting way to end the half

Shut up, Boombox.

So help me out here guys. Go ahead and go to bed, or stay up and endure more suffering?

Apparently this ties the record for the most points we've ever given up in a half.

Well, there's what you should do, then there's what you will do...

Tied? We only tied the record? Well, there's the second half to try to break it

Off to do some dishes at half....

I'm 50% of that too and heading toward the other 50% rapidly!

In the 73-0 game we gave up 45 in the second half.

Just signed on...so not sure anyone has gone this route or not but my first thought is -- Snyder needs to fire Shanahan. In addition to not liking his management style, I can't think of any "good" coach that has been so absolutely swamped in one half.

I think the players have quit on him. He didn't back down on Haynesworth and he messed with his best offensive player in McNabb. Is it coincidence or just he Eagles night?

I believe the players don't like or respect him...he's lost the team.

We had it in our grasp and Shanny makes another bad call, Rex would have been good for at least 3 more Iggles points

uggggh.

This has been way more painful than I was anticipating.
I mean, I bought a speaker system last week and a new, bigger TV this morning (praise be to hellacious OT and a birthday), all in anticipation of seeing us sweep the Eagles this year with a repeat of the first game.

But now I'm disappointed, plus a year older, so I need my sleep.
But I'm a glutton for punishment... so...

I'm gonna give it a couple of drives into the 3rd to see what the half-time talk will do.
If Philly continues where they left off, spanking us, then I'm off.

Your first post of the night and you just blew by the neggies faster then the Eagles laid 35 on us. Well done, that wasn't easy. But you're kind of slow, wanting to fire him after a whole half. I'm thinking we start firing coaches the first time we give a sack or a turnover. We should put them on probation after an incompletion or a negative yardage run. We could just have head coaches line up across the parking lot and every time one fails we just move onto the next one. That way no coach would ever lead us through this debacle again. Waddaya think?

So close. Darn it
