So amped!

Re: Redskins vs. Squealers Gameday Thread
 

been waiting a mighty long time for this!!!

Re: Redskins vs. Squealers Gameday Thread
 

Gotta love a 7:10 MNF start, I'll still be able to get some sleep tonight.

Re: Redskins vs. Squealers Gameday Thread
 

Fuck yeah. Hope we start the season out right. Need our defense to show up.

Re: Redskins vs. Squealers Gameday Thread
 

With our schedule I feel like we really need to win this one at home. Cannot believe this day is here. HTTR!

Re: Redskins vs. Squealers Gameday Thread
 

As much as I want to buy the Kool-Aid, I just have this feeling of dread that all the perceived progress has been a mirage - it's like a bad dream where: Scott McC is not a miracle worker / great talent guy; Gruden really is a bad coach who has an undisciplined team and will run an offense that has a 10 to 1 pass to run ratio; Cousins is really the guy who played the first 8 games last year not the guy who played the last 8 games. We won't win. We never beat the Steelers and we never win Monday night. Doom and despair.

Away you demons of mediocrity past! I want to believe again.

First of all the Jury maybe still be out on Gruden, but Mc C has a proven track record elsewhere that says he is that guy. Cousins finished so consistently strong for so many weeks that the progress was proven.
Secondly, I feel exactly like you do! Lol

Our playoff run last year was against non-playoff teams. As soon as we played GB it was obvious we still have aways to go. I think we are getting better but not good enough to beat this Steelers team tonight.

I am hoping we are competitive and its a close game; something to build on.

Re: Redskins vs. Squealers Gameday Thread
 

I think we are all a little in "show me" mode having had our dreams dashed so many times before. But the vibe does feel a little different - these guys seem to really want to play with and for each other. Hard to overstate the importance of that.

I need a ruling please.
If I see a vehicle with Steelers insignia on it, am I allowed to flick them off if I dont have any skins insignia on my vehicle? Im still deciding on what skins decal or magnet I want.
Obviously, if I have skins gear on my ride I have free reign on game day to harass the steelers vehicle any way I feel bc they will then see my skins insignia and know why.

A few years back when I first signed on here I posted about flicking a Cowboy stickered car off as I drove by. It wasnt even Cowboys week, but who cares its the cowboys right? I figured i had free reign to give them the bird. I did have a Skins sticker. It turns out there was an old lady driving. Completely wigged out about my flicking her off (unknowing that is was a grandma). Anyway I caught alot of grief on here for doing so.
I vote yes - flick em off. Flick em all off.

Re: Redskins vs. Squealers Gameday Thread
 

I havent wanted a weekend to be over and Monday to get here so badly since, well, last football season :biggthump

If our team is who we think they are, this should be a good game. But is this 2013 again? Doesnt feel like it, but I have to see before making any predictions. Beating Pitt would be a great first step

Re: Redskins vs. Squealers Gameday Thread
 

My realist, sober, side of me says that this is one of those hard fought losses where the 'skins actually dominate for most of the game, but the Steelers find a way to pull it out in the end. So as a fan, you're left trying to decide if the team really has turned the corner or not. You feel OK, but yet you're left bitter from the outcome.

My kool-aid drinking side of me, (with a shot of tequila), says the Redskins shock everybody by dominating from start to finish, which propels them with wins over the Cowboys and Eagles, and makes the Browns wish they were never in the NFL, to go 4-0. I like this side of me much better.

I feel that way too, I think a lot of us do. I predicted the Steelers to win but as we get closer, I think the skins win.

Our secondary could be lock down. Norman is a top no. 1 corner, Bree is a top no. 2 corner. The only question is how well will Hall and Bruton play on the back end.

Steelers are limping into this.

Bell - suspended
Dupree - IR
Wheaton - out
Nix (ST star) - out

^^ Those are important pieces.

Re: Redskins vs. Squealers Gameday Thread
 

I think if anything we'll put up the points. Now will be able to stop them? If we let what is essentially two players (Ben/Brown) beat us, then we deserve to lose.

I don't think we can run on them, but hell, we can't run on anybody and we still pass for a billion yards. I do worry about Cousins accuracy under pressure. It was bad last year.

Re: Redskins vs. Squealers Gameday Thread
 

JUst like every year, I can't believe it's opening night!

Gonna go cold hard sober: tough team to open against (price of having a good season last year, I guess). If we can't get to Big Ben (and I don't think we will out of our base D without the blitz) and they can run on us (not unlikely), it will be hard to stop their O. We may keep pace with them for a while, but our lack of a serious run game will hurt. If we get some TOs from our secondary, we may pull it out, but if not, I think Pitt wins without too much sweat.

For all that, I think what really matters this year is improvement, stability, and the continued rise of Cousins. Beat the weak ass NFC east guys and I'll be happy. 8-8 and another McLovin draft or two. We're not yet the team we will be, especially in our D front 7 and our o-line. But we're moving in the right direction.

Re: Redskins vs. Squealers Gameday Thread
 

I fully expect to win this game. Steelers are good but so are we, and we're full strength.

Cred was always a man of common sense.

Im getting really pumped up. I got like an adrenaline jelly feeling going in my arms. Thinking of ways to sneak out of work early but I know we are under staffed so I cant. I dont remember feeling this way before an opening game but i guess having all sunday and monday to stew gets your body worked up.

Our only other MNF is week 16 against the panthers.

Re: Redskins vs. Squealers Gameday Thread
 

Tonight's the night boys, we've all been waiting since the Packers game for this night, and it's time to show the NFL the super skins are back. Everything is lining up in our favor tonight, Matt Jones and Josh Doctson are gonna play, Marcus Wheaton and Ladarius Green out for the steelers, the city is rallying around this team and I know its gonna be a great year.

I predict a dominant and shocking performance from both Captain Kirk and our defense. 31-14 Redskins and we start to see a Redskins culture the city hasn't seen for years. Us die hards have been with the team for the long haul, which will only make this season that much better. Watch out Pittsburgh.

and still don't...

Re: Redskins vs. Squealers Gameday Thread
 

If we win, it will be announced through all the media world that it was only because the Steelers were missing so many bodies (which may be true), if we lose the media will brand it proof we can't beat a winning team.

Might as well go beat the living daylights out of them!!!

Im ridiculously pumped for this game. I worry about our secondary and protecting kirk, and the football. I hope we steamroll them, but its likely to be another close game and the REFS BETTER NOT dictate the effing game. Period.
