I have no clue who is going to win. I don’t even know who’s more likely to win. But I do know who should win… Go Eagles! ---

I will side with the Redskins and take a chair next to Falcon. I have been a Redskins fan for years. Chief, Army can never beat Navy, and isn’t Air Force some trade school? ---

Ahem. 17-14, Washington. And don’t bother whining about the officiating - the reversal of Deion’s fumble call was correct. - Rick ---

_clears throat_ “Hail to the Redskins, Hail victory Braves on the warpath, Fight for old DC!” GO SKINS!!! So yes, I was a little worried during the game. But hey, a win is a win. 😃 So let’s see…how should I make Chief suck up first? Oh Chief hon…aren’t the Redskins a MUCH better team? 😉 ---

The Chief is due for some very major suck up to Falcon. How about two dozen long stem roses as a starter? ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Bricker \* > \*\*Ahem. 17-14, Washington. > > And don’t bother whining about the officiating - the reversal of Deion’s fumble call was correct. > > - Rick\*\* Yeah, they got that one right. Why they couldn’t get the the next fumble call right, I don’t know. Eagles ball should have been the correct call on Davis’ fumble. The ball was out before he was down. Actually, I hate both teams. In my perfect world, both teams would get lost in the locker rooms and not come out for the second half. Then, they would have to forfeit to each other. The first double-lose forfeit in the history of the NFL. (Try to fit _that_ into the playoff tie-breaker scenario. :D) Back to reality…ya think McNabb in on the take with that last-minute interception? What a doofus. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by divemaster \* > \*\*Back to reality…ya think McNabb in on the take with that last-minute interception? What a doofus. \*\* Reminiscent of Mr. Johnson’s "let me see if I can fit this into my receiver’s hands if I throw it two feet over him and into quadruple coverage while running forward and away from five Detroit Lions linemen . . . " a few weeks back. QBs are human. When they act such, we get pissed off. When they’re not, they either perform decently or are treated as gods. ---
