It ain't over til it's over... (the season, that is)

Oh, let's talk about the joy of watching a near-flawless Redskins performance against their Cowboy rivals in what was a hugely hyped-up division battle today. The Skins stepped it up and for once didn't leave our hearts pounding til the end in what was a rare "easy" victory that was crucial to our wildcard playoff hopes.

It was definitely an amazing Skins team we hadn't seen yet, staying aggressive throughout the game, strong on defense (7 sacks! 4 interceptions!), and most importantly, never letting up. After so many close losses and ridiculous game-endings, all Skins fans now know that no lead is safe. It was a relief, then, when the game was over and we found ourselves with a chance for a playoff berth. Ok, we've still got the Giants ahead and a lot of "what ifs"-- all for a mere wildcard entry-- but it's nice to think that it's even a possibility, and I'm excited about Redskins football actually being interesting this late in the season!

Here's a photo of Auddie & my dad at her first football game:
(And here's a quote from football's newest #1 fan...context: as Auddie was singing "Hail to the Redskins" tonight, my mom made fun of her...and Auddie responded with: "Don't be jealous just because you don't know the words!")

Hail to the Redskins! Hail Victory! Braves on the Warpath! Fight for old DC!
