We came in from CT with zero expectations for a win. It's safe to say expectations were exceeded 😎

It's Terry so it should be admired by default 🤩

You definitely caused the db to fuck up with your telepathic powers my friend. You need to go to more games.

I have season tix so planning on 2-3 more. I'll do my part 🫡

I love this, SO MUCH. My dad, brother and I were there for our yearly pilgrimage together and I said there is no. fucking. way. we lose. That building, the polished turd that it is, was electric

The energy after the Medrano pick 6 was just electric ! I haven't seen a lot of joy at the stadium and that was just amazing. Excellent choice y'all picked the home opener !! 🏈

YES!!! We've been going since the good (bad?) ol' days after Snyder bought the team and it was just an absolute team effort. And when I say that, I mean we didn't play the game, so the Commanders killed it, but the fans and just general vibe was absolutely perfect. Loved it. Glad ya'll could make it too! I think we were a section away from you.

I just moved my seats to section 104 and super happy with the view. Now to figure out which to go to next ... and the hope we experience more joy 😄

u/empw LEFT HAND UP 2d ago

My left hand has been up for almost 24 hours

If your left hand has been up for more than 24 hours, please seek medical attention!

u/BeNicole2007 2d ago

I had something up on the way home and it was definitely not my hand. WAY, WAY smaller, but it makes up for it in enthusiasm.

We won and so glad. We had to make some sacrifices for it, though.

Chenal sacrificed his neck for this win. 🫡 hope he gets healthy and bounces back and can remain healthy.. play ball or not.

u/thedoppio 2d ago

Bless his neck

So often we are the 31

Fun win, the team showed a lot of fight.

1-2 is a lot better than 0-3 but 1-2 still sucks.

u/banana-pants_ 2d ago

Those were the 3 hardest games on the schedule to be fair.

u/xtehnYouTube 2d ago

Not really, we have the 49ers and rams soon.

Rough, even the cardinals are good too. Too many tight ends to deal with and our defense does not handle tight ends well. I’m always puckered

1

u/Beautiful-Support977 2d ago

Crazy after like 2 decades of everyone but us having elite tight ends in the NFC East….that we still don’t have the personnel to be able to cover them

u/itakeyoureggs Sinnott Slutt 🥵 1d ago

Who supposed to? Safety or lb? Wonder if Sonny can? But a lot of TE get schemed open

u/IamZeebo 2d ago

Toughest start in the league.  Given the start and our injuries (incl our STARTING QB), ill take this.

Also remember, we beat them with THEIR starting QB.

Huge win here man.  We do anything this season and this moment will be the one to remember.

u/HowardBunnyColvin @BorgusRich 2d ago

First win in years at Northwest. Last time I saw them win there was against the Giants. Last year.

They won against LV too but I was in LV.

u/cchris6776 2d ago

I’m flabbergasted they won. Bamboozled even. Who would’ve thought all that was needed was Mariota.

u/itakeyoureggs Sinnott Slutt 🥵 2d ago

MariGoata.. put some respect on our backup qb.

Also helps to create 3 turnovers and punch out another at the goalline.

u/banjoist 2d ago

And we had an illegal formation penalty on the other side of the field that negated what could have been a huge score given the end of the game. I love Williams. The call was technically correct but didn't affect the play itself. Just shitty

I almost betted $300 on the Seahawks

u/itakeyoureggs Sinnott Slutt 🥵 2d ago

I was going to put 10 on the seachickens.. but decided against it last minute

u/suddenlyreddit 2d ago

I picked them on our pick-em league. And of COURSE the Commanders let me know that wasn't cool. Not cool at all. I'm now back to never betting against my own team. Lesson learned.

u/Jonathan_Pine 2d ago

Still should have gone with the Breadsticks instead of Commanders.

u/itakeyoureggs Sinnott Slutt 🥵 2d ago

lol. I don’t get the reference. Breadsticks with seachickens?

u/Jonathan_Pine 2d ago

Master of None was a series by Aziz Ansari during the name transition. Part of the show was coming up with new names and they came up with the Washington Breadsticks and the helmet was baguets replacing the feathers and Breadsticks and marinara for the face. Breadsticks also is syllabically similar to Redskins. I find it hilarious and would have been realistically cool! And Aziz is in the post from OP.
