Probable turf toe. Those are shitty. Lingerers and easy to re-injure. Very frustrating.

If we gotta shut him down for a few weeks so be it. At least we have good depth with Barber and McKissic.

Still can't believe it, this team went down 14-0 on the road against a Steelers squad we haven't beaten in 30 years and was 11-0 this year and we came out with a win. Fuck. This is an all-timer for sure.

This is right up there with the Moss Cowboys victory

Not quite because that was a crazy ending against DALLAS, but one of the great wins.

Fun stats. The Steelers are 78-1-1 at home when you by 14 points. Steelers threw exactly 51 passes each of the past two weeks. This week they were 51 passes and 14 rush attempts. Not a recipe for winning football.

I believe they were 78-1-1, isn't it 78-2-1 now?

What a win. The first half looked like a typical Redskins game on Monday. Shoot ourselves in the foot play after play. At one point I just thought this was going to be a blowout. Then we got that lucky 3 points at the end of the first half.

Since the Joe Gibbs days, this team couldn’t win on Monday, nor could they make any halftime adjustments. Jay Gruden was the worst second half HC I’ve ever seen. The Redskins would get a slim lead in the first half and just try to hang on by their fingernails. Whatever Gruden did at halftime - a successful HC should do the OPPOSITE.

Since Joe Theissman was hurt on a Monday night, we’ve sucked at these games. The infamous “BODY BAG” game was on Monday night. I just read we LOST something like 16 out of 18 Monday night games - that a winning percentage of just .110. I remember staying up very, very in Afghanistan in late 2006 to see the Deadskins lose (aI think to Dallas). The game was on the military network like at 2:00 am and I had to get up at 6:00am. So I sacrificed a much needed sleep at Bagram Ai Base to watch out team suck on Monday night. I watched them do it again in 2006, again losing on a Monday game - this time in Iraq. Same thing, I lost a night’s sleep to watch our team LOSE. Those days are over!!

This team is changing for the better. This team has CHARACTER and that why they won this game. The Steelers double-teamed McLaurin AND Chase Young. Gibson was hurt very early on. Yet players, many cast offs from UDFA or other teams, fought hard to stay in this game.

There are still holes on this team, but overall the Rivera era is here!!

Over here the game started late so I was tempted to watch to HT or shortly after and pick it up again today before or even after work. No chance. I was glued to the screen until 1:30 AM and screw work! Panicked for a mo when Sky TV automatically switched to the Bills v 49ers with 5 mins. to go (they actually had the WFT game on another channel already and that was uninterrupted). I was lying in bed until about 2AM because I couldn't calm down! Don't think I've felt like that after a game since SB 26!

I really want us to win the division now, and even if we don't this season is a winner for me. I said it elsewhere that weeks 1-6 are effectively preseason for teams like us. We're 4-2 since then and seem to be getting better every week. Really want to see us steamroller the Eagles in the last game.

Bills won with all white jerseys too. Hmmm....
