WOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
Is there really anything better than a close, neck-and-neck game that ends with your team winning? (I ask this knowing that most Redskins fans would probably answer, "YES, you moron. Winning in any manner whatsoever. Did you WATCH any of last season???") But **ahem** past records aside, today's game against Green Bay was a nail-bitin' edge-of-your-seater that ended in...a SKINS VICTORY! Who saw that one coming? Surely not I.
We were definitely slated to lose this one...and I didn't have to consult the top minds at ESPN to come to that conclusion. The Packers came into the game with a 3-1 regular season record (11-5 in 2009) while the Skins were barely holding onto 2-2 (especially after that ridiculous loss to the Rams. Didn't the Lions just CRUSH them today? THE LIONS???!! Sigh...). The Skins were underdoggin' with the best of 'em (that's what she said?) and, frankly, we were prepared for the worst (aka "the usual"): promising first half followed by a series of botched plays and a Swiss cheese defense ultimately resulting in a disappointing loss that SHOULD have been a win.
But, NAY! On this fine Sunday, the Hogs came to win. It was, admittedly, not high scoring game. Not many monster plays. But there were a handful of good ones, a few nice hits of the crunching variety, and was generally fun to watch. LaRon "Biceps" Landry's coverage was spotty at times, but he made up for it with an interception that led to the game winning field goal. Nabby...well...not a great show, my man, but you pulled through. Too many overthrows, too many shoestrings. You started off the season strong, let's keep it going. We know you can throw (357 yds this game), we know you can run. Don't play like you're still an Iggle...have some respect for yourself, man! And, finally, to my new potentially-favorite player, Torain, "keep on keepin' on." Didn't rack up the numbers yesterday quite like you did against Philly...'course, that didn't take too much effort, now did it? :)
Beautiful weather. Close game all the way through. The underdogs came up from the depths to snag another unexpected "W" in overtime.
I LOVE THIS GAME.
a nerve racking W, with lots to be happy about.
