It's going to be a battle of shit teams no doubt. Going back to last year they are 1-10 at home so that's the only reason I'm taking the Skins.

I can see the Skins pulling out a close ugly one. 13-10.

I hope people don't get all overhyped if this happens. The only way I would get interested again is if we blow up the Dolphins, but that ain't happening.

Lol this game shouldn't even be televised even on DTV rofl what a bad game to watch..

I'm like Lotus, I want to watch every play & get pissed if I miss some. Even in 2003, as brutal as that was, I still had to watch. Even bad teams have a few good games that make it fun, e.g. the dallas game in 06 when ST returned the blocked field goal to set up the game winner. Great game, terrible season.

we also have new faces to root for & hopefully see our future, Helu, Hankerson, Hurt, Kerrigan. Maybe we'll add Crompton to that list by years end?!

Back in the day before Sunday Ticket, web sites, etc., it was almost impossible to follow the Skins if you lived outside of the DMV area. You may have gotten a few measly highlights and a paragraph story in the Monday paper.

I still remember those dark days so I am grateful to have the access that I have now and I don't want to take that access for granted.

And you are right - even in the worst seasons there are a few fun games or at least fun plays in bad games.

It's like many things in life...you enjoy it more if you keep the expectation bar set very low.

Very true I grew up in RI and I use to subscribe to a magazine called the Warpath, I longed for it each month and I think it came weekly during the season. My dad would go on business trips to DC and always bring me back every sports section of the WaPost during the days he was there. I would pour through each one of them.

I have watched every Redskins game since I purchased DTV NFL Ticket in 1998. I grew up in the DC area and moved from Oxon Hill MD in 1979 to Arizona. I have lived in the Los Angeles area for the past 24 years now. I'm a Redskins fan, I ride or die with my squad. No matter what our record is or who coaches our team I'm a Redskins for Life. HTTR I will be watching this Sunday.

Considering we play down to the crappiest teams:

Skins 10
Fins 7

Get ready for another snorer.

10 is implying we score a touchdown. That's not setting the bar low enough. 9-7.
