Did you think we were 11-1?

leilung · 12-07-2009, 01:54 AM

I'm stuck in Iggle Land, watching them skunk the Fowl-cons at 34-0 with 8:30 left in the Saints game and FOX refused to switch over for anything but scoring. I was running back and forth to the laptop to get some semi live scoring and they were lining up to kick near the end of regulation. I told my son that it was over if the Skins made the kick...and I laughed like a madman when they missed it. Then I told him, 'Now watch the Saints steal this one.' He just smiled, shook his head, and said 'that's just nuts pop'.

After they won, he looked at me like I was possessed. the look was priceless! Sometimes, Dad STILL knows stuff that makes the kids scratch their heads!!!

WHO DAT?! NOT DEM!

I kept the faith, as Chermie always reminds us "Believe" . . . but there were a couple of times I seriously considered calling 911 to revive me . . .

Yep, I thought for sure we were done when the skins lined up for the FG. Like Brees said, it's our time to get the breaks.

As soon as the Skins moved into FG territory w 2:00 in the 4th quarter--- yeah! That pretty much looks like the end to any reasonable thinking fan. That missed FG just defies logic, physics, history, and our Curse.
And then I knew it was ours, even if it went to OT, even if we lost the coin toss. They had to feel their own Curse at that point.

I cant even talk today.

It was getting tougher to believe we could come back, but I was yellin' BLOCK THE FIELD GOAL at my TV before Suisham missed it. Then I knew our window of opportunity had opened to get back in the game.

Redskins played very well and found a way to lose that game, I believe every winnig team has a certain amount of luck in the year they win it all (SB). The Saint's used just about all of it during that game hope they have some left for the playoffs and hopefully SB.

Without question, I'm sorry, thought we were done on that drive the Skins were inside our 10 yard line with 3:50 left in the game. Same drive they missed the field goal. We just were not stopping them. Flipping Jason Campbell looked like Joe Montana. What can I say!

I said exactly the same thing at our table.

I follow the Redskins and have seen them lose too many close games to think they were going to close this one out. If they had actually made the field goal, I would have thought it was probably done, but even then, I would have thought the Saints had a chance for a quick score, an onside kick and another score.

The Skins are just snake-bit this year.

I'm the eternal optimist and the biggest Saints fan of all my friends and they had me stand up and start hollering even louder for the Saints. I think they consider me the lucky 12th man.
