Initially I was happy to see that Guyton was finally benched for his sloppy play, but these guys didn't even have the courage to make it a permanent benching for the remainder of the game.

It was essentially a 2-play benching. He was right back out there during their last offensive possession.

To be fair, he was called for a number of non-existent fouls.

I’m still in disbelief.

If not for that missed XP, this one would've topped Santana Moss/Joe Gibbs collapse.

No chance.

This game would have ultimately not meant anything had we lost it.

That MNF nightmare happened at the beginning of the year and it literally cost us a playoff spot at the end.

It'll be almost impossible to lose a game against that team in more heartbreaking fashion.

I think this is the Washington side of that loss. It was nice not really caring if we won or lost, and it was one of the craziest games I've ever seen. There will be many videos of Skins fans breaking TVs over that one.

You can only try to give me game away so many times , but if the other team won't cooperate...
All kidding aside, I truly had a feeling that those things were going to happen just because it looked like one of those games where try as much as they might, a team just looks destined to lose.

The plays may not have been identical, but the ending and the sorts of moments that played out reminded me of the 2008 home loss to the Ravens.

And when the Cowboys went up by 4, I just had this feeling that one disappointment after the next was going to occur for the Redskins which would cause them to lose in a shell-shocked way, and that's exactly what happened.

I'm strictly talking about the collapse itself. Not the importance of the game.

Not even close.

This was a forgettable game in a lost, forgettable season. One we wouldn't even think about once the next draft is over.

That one was a game we had in hand, on a night where we were inducting the Triplets into the ROH. A forever stain on an unforgettable night.
