Steelers vs Redskins MNF

[TrueOrange]

A big game tonight as the Steelers and Redskins face off on ESPN in a big game on 2 different levels!

On one, both teams look to better their records as Washington hopes to keep up with the NYG divisionally while the steelers hope to stay a game ahead of the ravens but also chase the Titans for the top spot in the AFC.

But on another note, this game has important election implications. Since 1936, the result of the Redskins last home game before an election has in turn determined the results of the election. If the Skins win at home, then the incumbent party has stayed in power. If the Skins lose that game at home, then the party in power at the white house has lost the election. This has happened in every election since 1936, only failing in the 2004 election.

So what will it be? Will a Steelers win and push Obama into the White House? Or will the Skins hold at home and keep the Republicans in power with John McCain? The game might decide.

Here's to a great and important Monday Night Football game!

A loss tonight by the Steelers would unofficially, officially give the Titans the top seed for the playoffs.

a recap:
both defense played well. our offensive line still sucks. Our defense played probably the best game of the year and killed Cambell all night. Portis is a stud. We are banged up all over the place. Signing Leftwich was worth every penny just for what he did tonight.

special teams: i like the on side call, hated the execution. Our punter sucks....bad. the blocked punt was the play of the game.

as always, FG's in place of TD's will catch up with you. 14-0 changes everything for us....6-0 was a huge victory considering how the game started.

Huge win for us....very happy about this.

Go Steelers.
