Wow...just wow.

That may have been the most shocking win in my life as a Redskins fan, when you factor everything into it.

McCoy balled out. He missed some throws, his arm is just so weak, but the kid has heart, miles and miles of heart, and sometimes heart can win you games. We do have a lot of skill player talent around him though, I mean Jackson/Garcon/Reed/Morris is about as good an offensive core as you can ask for.

Defense though...WOW. Was not expecting that kind of performance at all. Haslett always calls a good game against Romo and the Cowboys but that was something else. Loved all the pressure. And how about my boy Breeland, kid grew up. Shut down Dez Bryant 1 on 1 with no safety help.

Lets just play with this kind of passion and intensity every week and see where the season takes us.

tl;dr: reggie bush = championship :nod:

TRUE. But reggie still cant play QB. And that seems to be the problem with dallas.

On the other hand, many here laughed at THE SHOWs prediction. THEE ONLY PREDICTION BY THE WAY IN THE PREDICTION THREAD(look it up)...who picked the Detroit lions to go to the final 4. hmm...I hope many of you here take notes as the season rolls along....ahahaha


Can't play QB? Ever heard of the Wild Cat? If the Cowboys had Reggie Bush, they could run Wild Cat every play and still average 8 yards per play AT THE VERY LEAST. That's just how good Reggie is. No one has ever been able to stop Reggie, why would they start now?

Excellent point. But NFL offensive coordinators have not evolved to the mental capabilities that you and I have. Only recently have they engaged this type of futuristic thinking. However, the reality is, they only see the error of their ways after the fact. In this case, after reggie has won a 2nd superbowl championship.

That was a classic Romo/Cowboys loss. It appears the curse is not yet broken.

2nd superbowl championship? With Reggie's unmatched abilities, combined with modern advances in fitness and nutrition, I see no less than 5 more rings for the great Reggie AT A BARE MINIMUM. "2nd superbowl championship"?! As in only one more? Haters gonna hate, I guess.

5? ...For sure, if he didn't waste time on last years coach who thankfully got fired. And that awful team in Miami that doesn't like black people. He sure would've been on his way to 5. But at this point, he has to settle for helping those who want to receive his help. See, in New Orleans, when he opened their eyes and saved their lives after the devastating hurricane. They were receptive and open for salvation. And Reggie provided Salvation. Before reggie, hurricane and devastation. Now, superbowl champions and a packed stadium that reggie built.

Now in Detroit, a devasted automobile industry, crime and pimpin at an all time high. But now with reggie, electric cars and virgins safe at home, saved from the streets. As that 'ol gospel song sings aloud to the unsaved "Soon and very soon, we are goin to see the RING! SOON AND VERY SOON, WE ARE GOIN TO SEE THE RING!"

Very happy for Colt McCoy, my #1 rated QB in the 2010 NFL draft. Okay, technically he tied with Jimmy Clausen but I'm still proud of him.

It was good to see for Colt, I felt sure the Cowboys would pull away in the second half.

"Bush represented hope in 2006 for a city that was less than a year removed from Hurricane Katrina's destruction. With Bush, the Heisman Trophy-winning running back from USC, the city had a savior that couldn't be rivaled by any government official. Bush represented dawn in the city's darkest hour."

Bush isn't even the best back on his own team right now :D

OH YE UNBELIEVERs. What more proof is needed? They are winning. What more is needed to turn your unbelieving heart into a follower of Reggie Bush. Playoffs? Detroit has not won a playoff game since...the 90s? Reggie shall deliver you!

quite honestly, the cavaliers have a better chance of winning with reggie, than with LeBron.
