I'm just going to sit back and enjoy the game and I think Dallas wins no matter the outcome. Dallas is either in 1st by themselves or Philly drops down to 0-2 either way it is good for the Cowboys

This is probably the best response to this thread. Either way, Dallas wins. I guess I'm more afraid of the Eagles than the skins. Let the Skins win tonight, and the Eagles will be starting Kolb by the 5th game. They have Detroit next at home, then go to the Giants, and the Giants who play the Skins next week, will host the Eagles trying to save their season, after this horrible start. The Eagles could be 1-3 after the Giants game. Then their bye week, which they will use to get Kolb ready. The McNabb era will officially be over.

Maybe it will result in a tie and both team buses will swerve off a bridge after the game.:D

I hate the Eagles with a passion.

However for me unless there is a definite benefit Dallas angle, I want the Skins to lose and lose badly if possible.

Of course if they lose really really bad, I will feel bad for the few quality skin posters on this board such as SkinsAndTerps...for about a milisecond. Actually, I wont feel bad at all.:D

Appreciate the recognition.

I expect the Commanders to win and win convincingly. It should be interesting.

After our team charter had to make an emergency landing, I don't even want to think about that.

Do you really SnT? I give the Eagles too much leniency sometimes because in this decade they have owned all of us, but easily?

Living in the DC area, this is no contest for me. Having to listen to the sports and talk radio is no fun after a skins win. You know the old adage, two favorite teams Boys and any one playing the Skins.

While it is not fun to listen to sports after a win, it is quite enjoyable after a skins loss. There are actually guys on talk radio around here (Ric Doc Walker & Brian Mitchell) who will rip the skins after a loss.

Synder has actually started another station because he hates these guys ripping the skins.

Ahhhhh, the days of 980. It's just not the same listening to Carolina sports radio. There's nothing better than listening the 980 meltdown after a loss. I listen on line when I can.

That's no less than the third time that happened to Dallas in the franchise's history.

The team plane went into a semi-tailspin in the late sixties and almost crashed, problems after takeoff in the mid-80s forced another emergency landing.

Law of averages make for eventual mechanical problems, I'm sure other teams have experienced the same.

This will not happen until there is a new head coach.
I foresee it happening next training camp, Kolb is just waiting to be the next disappointment...er, savior.

The one in the 60's you speak of, Walt Garrison tells a great story about it in his first book.

Speaking of that, when is the release date for book #2?

I love MNF. Always have. It is going to be hard on me to watch tonight. I can't stand either team. I can't stand Tony Kornheiser.

Tirico and Jaws I can stomach, but is Jaws going to be an Eagles homer tonight if they are winning? I almost don't want to know. I already know Kornheiser is going to try and counteract that by trying to make everything about the Skins.

I should put on a movie instead, but I can't. It's Monday Night Football.

On the one hand I'd love to see the Eagles be 0-2. On the other hand the meltdown by Skins fans would be entertaining as hell. It always is.

I can't see the Skins winning this game. I don't think they have a prayer. The Eagles will be looking to rebound from last week's Special Teams disaster. I expect a beat down, and in truth, I won't enjoy it like I normally would seeing a Skins beatdown, because it's by the freaking Eagles and the last thing I want from them is confidence.

37-10 Eagles.
One of the two will take an L. But trust me, Skins fans are far more idiots than the Eagles fans. Both sets of fans are jerks, but at least the Eagles fans are realistic about their team.

I hate the Eagles, but I want them to blow out the Skins

I really do. I think they are being hyped because of the past. Well as good as they were they still couldn't get it done. McNabb is back but as many people would like to make him an elite QB he really isn't.

The Commanders D is stepping up and the O is starting to get in the groove. Campbell still worries me with some of his errant passes, but with a healthy Portis and Betts proving he can provide positive yardage, I feel more confident.

BTW - That last Steve Smith TD was a thing of beauty yesterday. I had to tip my hat to the guy, even though I hate the Panthers.

I remember the one in the 60's. One of the guys was worried and said something to Don Meridith about this could be the end. Dandy Don, leaned back lit up a cig and said something to the effect of "yeah, but it's been a good run, hasn't it?" So cool.

I don't see how the Skins could win "convincingly" with JC at QB. He hasn't done it yet...

Agreed. How did he keep his Monday Night gig? Sometimes it's just painfull to listen to him. ABC just can't seem to get some decent guys any more.
I thought the "Three Mikes" did a good job in the MNF double header game.

Golic was ok but Greenberg was lost and Ditka didn't make any sense. He just rambled.
