Thanks Smoak. Any other way to get them? Officially from the Redskins?

What's the difference between the media guide and the game program? Which one were they selling at the game?

We've lost our share of "heartbreakers" and the fact that Dallass is feeling the pinch right now makes me giddy as a 8 year old school girl. Our win in Texas Stadium last year when "the triplets" were enshrined in their ring of honor and then yesterday is a down payment on many years of heartbreak. May they get ALL that they have coming to them. How 'bout dem Cowboys? <snicker>.

The fact that TO dropped "the game winner" in front of the world makes it even better. I'd give a week' pay to have ST put a Jack Tatum "assassin" type hit on him and put him out of all our misery (The only part I wished paralyzed is his mouth).

Yeah I remember and witnessed all of the above heartbreaker losses to Dallas.
The game lost by the improbable Clint Longley pass was the worst. That guy was a nobody and I think he was kicked off the team the next year for punching Roger Staubach.

Last year was indeed sweet when the "ring of honor" celebration was spoiled at the last minute by S. Moss. Yesterday's game was maybe even better because of the shocking conclusion. I think these games prove that the Redskins-Cowboy rivalry still lives and are some of the most exciting games in the NFL.

The game day program is the magazine sized book that is 75% advertisment. If you call the Redskins store, they could probably get you one.

The media guide is a smaller book that has LOADS more information in it. It is not printed week to week so it wouldn't have anything on new players (i.e. Troy Vincent), but it is has everything the media need to prep for the game. Roster, historical stats, bios, news, milestones, etc.

so we're 3-5 1/2 way through the season..........7-1 gets us in the playoffs and 6-2 could get us in especially with a W over the Giants and 2 against Philly. It all starts next week and I feel good about it.

Mike, your right. I guess I stated this wrong. I guess it should have been stated such as, instead of gifts, rare plays. We rarely get a block like that and I do not mean to downgrade that Vincent effort by calling it a gift when it was more of just a fantastic play. The fact is though, take out TO's drop and Vincent's block and we were 2-6. I guess my whole point here is, i really am smiling wider than ever right now with this win, but in essence, it really has not changed my mind about the lack of offensive chemistry and cohesiveness and the horrendous downgrade our defense has taken in pass defense. I really di dnot see much improvement, defensivly. The pass defense is simply scary!

Enjoyed the game guys. That was a squeaker. The 'evil one' admitting he left the team down was priceless!! Congratulations to the Skins. Ya hung in there and came out a winner. However, it wasn't a typical Redskins type of game. What's happened to that defense this year?

On to Philly. Should be a barn burner.

a real statement game for our team.. can we finally win on the road against a good opponent ?

I won't be tricked into thinking about the playoffs! We need to take it one game at a time. Granted this was great win, and problay more so a moral victory which should get us some of our mojo back. But we still need to play D, especally the secondary.

This victory just bought us another week. Hopefully we can continue this winning trend.

Based on the recent Eagles losing streak, you guys have as much chance as the Eagles to win it. They have been VERY unlucky this year. Get'em while they're down folks!

Anytime you can beat a rival its a very good win. Those Cowgirls are having a tough time with the NFC-E. Oh, I feel so sad for those cowpokes...........

Nah, jumpin' for joy here. Can't get enough of it!!

X-Factor13 · #56 11-07-2006, 11:08 PM

The NFC is WIDE OPEN...

we have the talent to beat everyone in our division...

brunell might have finally solved his issue with never throwning downfield...

... and we finally have our starting defense out and ready to play...

... no matter how bad...

what have we got to lose? you bet i'm in!!

Kudos to the Skins on an exhilirating win, but man pass defense, let's get the junk together man!

I agree Mark but could this game been a sign, if any three coaches can get this teams and thier units together it is Joe, Al and Greg. maybe this is a wake up for the whole team. But I will say this Dallas game was a huge win but the Philly game this weekend is much bigger I believe, we can not lose any more division games and this is the biggest one to date
