OT: 2024 Washington Commanders thread: change we can believe in!

[ChaosLord]

See, Dan Snyder leaves, and this happens.

 

[Random schmoe]

Huh.

Crow, medium rare, please.

 

[RedRocking]

On the bright side, we helped Ben Johnson along on his decision to take a HC job.

Thanks for turning us down, you f***wad!

 

[ynotcaps]

Completely unsurprised by JD5 -- all he did was do exactly what he does.

But the OL completely stepped up, both in protection and opening running lanes. The RBs flashed back to the first half of the season and made huge plays. And the D got beat up by the best O in the league, but they stayed in the fight and turned them over again and again.

The whole team stepped the **** up across the board.

f*** Ben Johnson in his doody chute!

 

[Blades Ov Steel]

I'll take a Gibbs on the commanders tho, my goodness.

 

[notDkristich]

house money bitches!

 

[robertmac43]

Coffee about to taste so good tomorrow morning.

 

[Langway]

Hail!

Dan Campbell really emotional post-game. Will be interesting seeing what kind of staff turnover they have...

 

[Ridley Simon]

I would bet on Glenn making effective adjustments over Whitt, because our second half defense this season has been even worse than the first half.

You kill me, you really do

 

[robertmac43]

I'm officially in uncharted territory, I have never seen this team play in an NFC Championship game.

 

[Ridley Simon]

Wow. That’s all there is to it.

NFC Championship game? Seriously? What in the absolute hell?

4-13, right? Who does this?

7 straight wins???

 

[Neil Racki]

Heeeyyyy yoooooo!!

Special teams punched them in their mouth

O line punched them in the mouth

Patrick gets a huge 1st down for 22 yarders? Gets punched in his f***ing mouth by lattimore

We Detroited Detroit in Detroit

Best part … their fans know it.

We bodied them in their own house

 

[kicksavedave]

I'm officially in uncharted territory, I have never seen this team play in an NFC Championship game.

From 82-91 they played in 5 NFC Championship games, and won 4 of them. It was glorious.

This feels... better? After the misery of the last 23 years, this feels like winning the lottery.

I dunno. This doesn’t even really feel real, if I’m being honest with myself. Like not at all.

*maybe* it feels like 82-83. Their first one. Because it was so out of the blue and they had never won shit.

Man, that was a long time ago.

I grew up on stories of those glory days, happy to be witnessing it first hand now.

I was a sophomore in high school that year (82-83). It felt cool, but I had no idea how special it was then. I didn't know shit.

Then they won that SB, then vs Denver in 87, then after the 1992 Super Bowl, Joe Jacoby was in the victorious locker room, explaining to the interviewer "you just don't understand how hard it is to get here and to win it"... I kinda just assumed we'd always be Super Bowl contenders. Then 34 utterly miserable years go by and now this. This is the most amazing thing, remembering how fun it all can be.

 

[Devil Dancer]

I remember the Super Bowls but I wasn't really a fan yet. I grew up with a Giants fan dad, so not a Redskins household. I really got into them during the Richie Petitbon year.

Great timing.

The fun is only made more sweet with the terrible years in mind.

I was reflecting post game, I think that was the most enjoyable game of football I have ever watched. I can't think of a better Washington game in my lifetime, and then my local CFL team has only delivered heartbreak since the 90s.

 

[Corby78]

Hail to the Redskins! Just watched the game and I don’t believe what I just saw. Daniels is already a legend, and already passed the flash in the pan RGsomething. Sainristil, Martin and Chinn should never buy a drink in DC again. I still hate all the fourth down plays, but we don’t have a good kicker and it’s working. Dan Quinn is now my second favorite coach behind Gibbs. What he has done with this team is amazing.

JD now has more playoff wins then any QB since Dug Williams. Let that soak for a bit.

 

[HTFN]

So in what might go down as the best trick play in NFL history... Ben Johnson did kind of get the Commanders to the NFC Championship

I was really young for the 82-83 SB teams. Though I vaguely remember a party at my aunt’s for the 83 loss.

But 87, and especially 91, I was along for the ride. 91 season was one of the greatest sporting experiences of my life, still to this today. Just an absolute juggernaut.

I also assumed that we’d be back every few years, with maybe the Giants getting one here and there. Little did we know we wouldn’t be back to the NFCCG until we were middle aged dudes.

I always text my sister during games and she was literally crying tonight. Totally wild and beautiful stuff.

 

[Bananas]

This wasn’t even on the best case scenario list.

 

[mrmovies779]

I put a Commanders pennant up in my office last summer. A coworker literally laughed at me. Can't wait to see that dude this week.

Pin in to his forehead when you see him
