Wow, great job by Washington holding Atlanta to 3 in the first half.  Atlanta had scored 75 points in the 1st half of its previous games.  Even if they'd made the FG, holding them to 6 would have been really noteworthy.  Go SKINS!

(It feels fun to root for the Skins again... I was a big Skins fan from 1987 - 1992 when I lived in the DC area... Joe Gibbs golden years...  It was fun.)

before there was a Panthers team, my family was all Redskins fans. there were a sprinkling of Colts, Cowboys, and Falcons fans. but mostly skins fans. so i dont hate them. they're just easy to make fun of.

Just checked... prior to today. Atlanta was averaging 18.8 points per 1st half, ranking them 3rd in the NFL behind AZ & NE

But it turns out, Washington has been very stingy with its defense in other games too... allowing only 5.5 points on average in the 1st half, 2nd best in the NFL after Cincy.  (Panthers are 8th lowest with an average of 8 points allowed in 1st half)

Sure, the Skins have been lousy for so long now, and their management so poor.  But they were great in the late 80s & early 90s.  Gibbs really modeled high character and they were a team I could feel good rooting for.  I'd not cared about football since (especially since I've worked overseas for long stretches of time most of the past 23 years)  until catching Panthers fever in late 2012.

      Evero HC requests!

      Yeah, I don't think there's anything strictly forbidding it to happen but generally speaking it's frowned upon and coaches for teams still active in the playoffs aren't general announced as hires until that team is no longer active. Honestly, they really should just make it where teams can't interview and hire coaches until after the Super Bowl. Yeah, tampering is gonna happen. That's just reality. But let the coaches still active focus on the job at hand without the distraction of formal interview processes. It would also help the league in term of extending the news cycle. The NFL is hot and heavy in the media and in football fans minds throughout the playoffs. After the Super Bowl that's basically a wrap until the draft news cycle gets into full swing. If you postpone the coach hiring cycle until after the SB concludes then you're in essence creating a whole new NFL news cycle during a historically pretty dead NFL news period. Seems like a win/win for everybody IMO.

      Would like to see what the Nets wanted for Nic Claxton, or get wild and see what the Pelicans wanted for Trey Murphy.  Don't know if we'll rock the boat too much, and probably more likely to still send people out as opposed to bringing them in...but there's finally something building here.

      Remember Tro and Slavin greeting everyone when they left the ice? Needs to come back.
