Is this game ever going to start???
 

I am dying!! Does anyone have a way to pass the time until the game starts? Preferably something you can do while sitting at a desk behind a computer at work.

Re: Is this game ever going to start???
 

Yeah man, this game is bad. I'm finding a way to split out of school early cause I already can't concentrate.

Re: Is this game ever going to start???
 

This is why I hate Monday nighters. No game on Sunday and then you have to wait around all day on Monday. Then after the game I'm so jacked up I can't sleep!

Re: Is this game ever going to start???
 

Matty: I have said the "official prayer" on numerous occassions this weekend. Man I hope they hear our pleas!

Keep paging yourself over the intercom, don't disguise your voice!

Re: Is this game ever going to start???
 

I hate BYES, especially this early in the season. However we have a few guys hurt already and it would be nice to get them back healthy. Guys like Hall, and Nobel and Jansen. However if the Skins lose tonight it will be a very long bye week. I mean how great will a Dallas victory in Dallas and two weeks to savor it feel. Man, I hope the Skins win tonight! The only thing that helps tonight, is I will watch the Giants/Saints game for a little while first and not all of the pre-game hype, which would just make me more nervous and uptight anyway. I can pull for "AMERICA's TEAM", New Orleans, for and hour an a half and not the other team that likes to calls themselves America's team.

Hey, great segway into tonights game - New Orleans is now officially America's team. How did the Cowpokes get that name anyway??

Re: Is this game ever going to start???
 

I extended my vacation an extra day just because I knew I wouldn't be able to concentrate worth a sh**T today!

some idiot in the media probably called them that once and it was all over after that.... tends to be how it goes down...

Re: Is this game ever going to start???
 

i kinda wish the QB change happened a couple days later, it'd give me something to do besides sit around until class starts...

Actually I thought it was pretty accurate. We are going to have to play a tight game. Few mistakes, move the chains, and just as the reporter says, let Portis control the game. Williams and his Jailbreaks can do the rest!

yeah that's pretty much how it went down:

"JAN. 1979
Dallas completes their 13rd consecutive winning season, and enters into their record 5th Super Bowl. AND Pittsburgh beats Dallas, 35-31, in Super Bowl XIII. After the 1978 season, Bob Ryan, NFL films editor, names the Cowboys "America's team"."

Re: Is this game ever going to start???
 

man, I think I'm gonna have to get out of this house and get a brew or two, or three....just until the game starts, of course!

Re: Is this game ever going to start???
 

I Like The Idea Of Paging Yourself Over The Intercom Without Throwing Off Your Voice. But I Think I Like Sitting On The Side Of The Road Pointing A Hairdryer At Cars And Watching Them Slow Down Better.

Re: Is this game ever going to start???
 

Less than eight hours...arrgh!

Re: Is this game ever going to start???
 

This is the biggest thumb twiddling day I can imagine. Counting the minutes until kickoff.

Re: Is this game ever going to start???
 

cant study for CPA with game on my mind.... i wish it started even 1 hr earlier at 8pm

Re: Is this game ever going to start???
 

The more I think about it the more I can't help but think of how HUGE of a game this is for us.

We really need to get this monkey off our backs... to beat Dallas in Dallas would be a huge step forward.

Then there's the issue of division games, we need to start winning these if we're going to even start thinking about challenging the Eagles for the division.

We need this game, bad. Gibbs needs it and dammit we the fans need it!

I think it's time for one of those famous Gibbs' speeches where he tells the team if you have anything left to give the Redskins you need to give it tonight!

But as you said, it's a divisional game...plus we've already beaten the Bears - two NFC teams back-to-back.

One or two more conference wins last year and we're a wildcard team.

"There's nothing to fear but fear itself"....and the fact that I would have to pull a sniper move if we can't beat those bastards!!!!!!

[QUOTE=gortiz]who actually has butterflies right now? I freaking do ... :vomit-smi[/QUOTE]
I do.

I told my wife last night that I'd rather win this game than the lottery. She thought I was crazy, but its the truth at this point.

Re: Is this game ever going to start???
 

I feel anxious but not in a bad way. Kinda like before a parachute jump or whilst riding too fast down PCH on a motorcycle.

When the game is finally on I'll vary between catatonic Marmoset and hyperactive toddler on three cans of Red Bull.

I want Bugel to give the speech, have Coach Gibbs wear ear defenders.

Re: Is this game ever going to start???
 

Has anyone heard if we're wearing white on white or white/burgundy?

Re: Is this game ever going to start???
 

[QUOTE=RedskinRat]I want Bugel to give the speech, have Coach Gibbs wear ear defenders.[/QUOTE]

Earlier this week Gibbs had Gary Clark, Charles Mann, and I believe Joey T. address the team. Appearantly Clark apologized before hand while Gibbs was standing nearby and let the curse words rip!

Re: Is this game ever going to start???
 

Good, then we save on the cost of $1 ear plugs.

Re: Is this game ever going to start???
 

[QUOTE=12thMan]Has anyone heard if we're wearing white on white or white/burgundy?[/QUOTE]

I've heard we're actually wearing white for the first time in awhile, probably first in my lifetime. The cowgirls are wearing their blue throwbacks because of that ring of honor crap.

I hope Aikman gets a tear in his eye when he sees LaVar take the field.

I thought they only wore white jerseys at home games....nice to know that is not the case, thanks.
