Went to Reliant Stadium yesterday to watch my Skins play and really had a great time. We sat right behind the goal posts 13 rows up, so had a great view of the players. Game looked bad for a few mins when Houston scored in 45 secs of their first possession to go up 7-0. It got better a few mins later when Portis took a shovel pass from his own 18 yd line and went 74 yds with it to set up a Bettis TD two plays later to even the score.

Then Washington score another 24 straight points to quiet the Houston crowd.

Dude! Shoog and I were there too! You should have told us you were going we could have all met up at halftime! There were a shitload of Redskins fans there.

...i can't believe some analysts were picking the texans to beat the redskins...apparently they have not been watching football the past few years.

***NewsFlash***
THE TEXANS SUCK. and the redskins are a good team, they have just had a couple tough matchups and have not played well.

I nearly shit my pants when they ran that fumble back late in the fourth. Thank god, they're the Texans, and screwed it up with a meaningless cheap shot.

I still to this point haven't seen what they flagged. The INT happend RIGHT in front of us which made the game for me. It was awesome.

I still haven't seen it yet, either. My friend who went to the game with me said he saw it one one replay later that night, and it was like the shot Warren Sapp took a few years ago against that guy on Green Bay.

Weird, hopefully I can find a video online.

Anyhow, I'm gonna post some of my pics from the game in a bit, but most of them kinda suck due to me learning how to set the appropriate settings in my new camera.

It was armed forces recognition day at Reliant which was cool. They had a huge flag during the pregame.

Some pregame shots of Redskins. Randle El was taking punts.

They hate David Carr in Houston soooooooooo much. Its crazy how they feel about the guy. I guess you can compare it to the way many of us hated Nazr.

Randle El scores!

Game clinching INT. I had great shots here, but I don't know if I changed the settings on accident or what happend, but they came out really overexposed and generaly shitty. I tried to fix them in Photoshop, but this was as good as they get. Real bummer because I thought these would be the best by far.

The Redskins bench was on my left. Did you see the 3 fans with bags on their heads? They were a few rows in front of me.

Damn, wre you close to the Redskins fan with the Riggins jersey #44? He was one section over to my left.Man, I had a whole row behind me of Redskins fans with all kinds of Jerseys, but I do think one of them had a Riggins jersey if I remember correctly. The guy to my left was also a 'skins fan.

It was actually pretty sweet having people to cheer with when we did something well. I had a bad ass time. Reliant is also such an awesome stadium.
