Just got back to the room from the game. It was colder than a witches' tit, but it was fucking glorious to see this one live. KC looked like Montana out there and Fat Rob ran strong. Defense was good too I thought.

Now... Let's get ready to carve up the boys on turkey day.

Which part makes me stupid? You make idiotic statement after idiotic statement and then want props on an unconfirmed claim because Stymietee made the call?

I am pretty sure that makes you a total moron.


actually if they hadn't did that gutsy ass call on 4th down we would of been in trouble how can you be that stupid

Would we have?

I wasn't the one who made the dumb ass comment. I am simply the one who pointed it out. Go find another team to whine about. We won...you were wrong...end of story.

You sound like a 12 year old looking for approval when you jumped on Stymie's call. Style made the call...you didn't. Your call ended when we didn't lose.

Excerpt

For a solid year, the Redskins have felt like a 50-50 team. Every game churns with uncertainty late into the fourth quarter. Weakened opponents never receive a finishing blow. That means the final moments each weekend are about as comfortable as a Mike Pence visit to Broadway.

So it’s fitting that Sunday night’s conclusion looked nothing like those awkward heart-stoppers. Sunday night, the Redskins bloomed into the mature outfit they’ve talked of becoming for months, pulling away from the Packerswith an impressive fourth quarter in an impressive 42-24 win. It was relaxed enough that delirious fans could launch one “We Want Dallas” chant after another in the waning moments, as Green Bay’s backup quarterback played out the string.

And when the players were done spiking cheeseheads, they officially had a counter argument to that 50-50 feeling. Because the Redskins don’t have the record of a toss-up team. They have the record of the best Redskins team in a generation.

Over their past 16 games, this team is now 11-4-1.What’s the significance? That’s Washington’s best mark over a 16-game stretch since 1992. That’s so long ago, Jay Gruden was still quarterbacking for the Tampa Bay Storm, Joe Gibbs hadn’t yet retired for the first time, 10 members of Washington’s active roster weren’t even alive, and Donald Trump was still a Democrat.

Want more? The Redskins now have their best record through 10 games (6-3-1) in 20 years. They have home winning streaks of at least four games in back-to-back seasons for the first time since 1992. And they continue to average well more than 5.75 yards per play, something they’ve done just three times since the 1970 merger.

All three times — 1991, 1999 and 2012 — the Redskins won their division. That’s a major long shot this season, but back-to-back playoff appearances aren’t. That would be a blast from the past, too, something Washington hasn’t done since ’92.

On a weekly basis, they don’t have the look or feel of a dominant team, one that can bury opponents who have lost their vital signs. Sunday night showed symptoms of that malady. Twice the Redskins pushed their second-half lead to two scores, and twice they almost immediately allowed the Aaron Rodgers-led Packers to counter. Washington entered the weekend with just one convincing win — against the winless Browns — and even that one had second-half drama
