Redskins VS Raiders Sept 24/97

[Graceland]

I always feel a renewal this time of year.

Hey Ken!

What's your thoughts on your team this year?

I predict a Raider ass kicking lol

 

[ElPuro]

Go Skins!

[Buck14]

I'd like to see the Commisioner of the NFL grow some balls for once and permanently ban any piece of s$it player that refuses to stand for the national anthem.  I turned the game off after the anthem.  Disgusting display of unpatriotic hatred and bigotry by several members of the Raiders and some members of the 'Skins by sitting and kneeling during the anthem.   Shame on them.  Just disgusting.

[Graceland]

watch your mouth son..... we don't do that here

Last time the Raiders were good they got blown out in the Super Bowl

[Graceland]

true that...... beginning of the Patriot dynasty

*** edited****

they were good before that too

[Ken Gargett]

yep, raiders were involved in an ass-whipping.

i like to think i am realistic and even cynical about the skins, even if they play well. but that score so flatters the raiders. could have been 50-0.

the only way that raiders side is going to the superbowl is if they buy tickets now.

best performance by the skins since the beat the cowgirls in the last game of the season in rg3's first year.

I don't think the Raiders even had 100 total yards. That was a bad game to watch. 

My team the Colts are on next Sunday night.

i doubt any skins fan believed that they could play that well. oakland no mugs.

kirk played like he deserves his $30 mill. brown a great pickup at ILB.

bizarre that we have last year's number 1 pick for us, doctson, a player about whom the rave, and in three games, i think that TD was about the first time he has been targeted and he picks up a brilliant catch.

when the skins O line get in sync, they are stellar.

chances of them playing that well again this year? not high, sadly. but we live in hope.

Must admit a happily unexpected win!  Hope is eternal.

What in the hell was that? An absolutely inept showing by the Raiders. Maybe they bought into the hype with their "unstoppable" offense a bit too much. Washington straight up killed them in every aspect of the game. And again this year, as  was to been every year since Reggie McKenzie signed on, the raiders can't cover tight ends or running backs, and the middle of the field is wide open. The Raiders had Zach Brown in for a FA visit this offseason, but I guess they didn't think they could use a pro bowl linebacker who addresses their biggest weakness.

 

Congratulations to Washington. They played a great game. They were super impressive. Lord I hate to see Dan Snyder happy, though.

Go Skins!!! At least for one game the O and the D came together and played like they are supposed to.

If you're on the skins side it was a great game.  As a neutral fan I like close nail biter games so it didn't interest me much to watch as the skins took off early.

brown is interesting. seemed almost no team wanted him. we only took him for a year - really hoping they are extending that right now. he has been terrific. was great yesterday.

and i assure you, as much as other fans might hate dan S, no one hates him more than skins fans.

That sure is a long time between good games for the foreskins.

never takes long for the bitter and twisted to emerge.

I thoroughly enjoy any time the Raiders get humbled by anyone. I've hated the Raiders since I was a kid as does any true Kansas City fan.

Ken - watch out for next week. Washington at the Chiefs for Monday night. For once, I'm actually getting excited about my Chiefs chances to do something other than limp into the playoffs and roll over meekly for whomever they play.

that will be a huge test for them. pretty much every skins fan i know is now super-optimistic but i think we all know it will take a lot more than one cracking game. realistically, if they can back it up and at least go close, be a very good sign.

with luck, we'll get a few players back from injury - kelley and reed, hopefully. can't believe how well they went without reed. he has been crucial for them and kirk especially. we have really struggled without him.

if we can at least compete playing away against a really good team then anything possible.

[CigarAsh]

Haven't seen the Skins play this year, but I've read the defense is pretty damn good. Will be a good test for the Chiefs. The most dynamic offense I've seen the Chiefs run in a long time. They have some real game breaking talent on offense - lots of big plays and lots of points. Something I never thought I'd see with Alex Smith as our QB.

Your optimisim is overwhelming, ya' bum. Seriously though, Kirk is super streaky and under the magnifying glass. So, too, the team. I fully expect an ass whoopin' Monday night, but such is life when a fan of the 'skins. 

Curious that the team is getting such a strong showing on the TV schedule, though. Perhaps a sign the "powers that be" see some reason for us to be optimistic?
