Redskins playing with only 10 on the field on the first play

[Q-Unit]

for Sean Taylor, when they take first snap on D.

wow. never heard of anything like this. Wonder what Buffalo would do? take a knee? or still snap the ball?

[fitter]

class act would be to knee or spike IMO

[Underdog88]

no way in hell they take a knee.... especially since they'll already be down.

"Jason Dagle of Selinsgrove, Pa., wrote: "In the summer of 2004, the Southern Columbia High School team lost two players in a drowning accident at a football camp. That year en route to an undefeated season, the Tigers would only field nine players for their first play, to honor their lost friends. While a few teams tried to a hit a big play against the Tigers' nine-man set, most opponents also fielded only nine players for the first play." In the 2004 Pennsylvania state Class A championship game, Southern Columbia sent out nine players for the first play, and opponent Rochester High responded by sending out only nine. Thus good sportsmanship was shown by Rochester High School and many other Pennsylvania high schools that year."

Knee? Are you kidding?

so did anyone see what they actually did?

I would've taken a man off the field and gone at it.

They did show respect, with the moment of silence before every game. I would have ran a play too. It isn't the Bills fault that the skins are playing with 10.

[Stifler's Mom]

Weather it's true or not, i don't know, but i had heard the Bills weren't even aware there were only 10 Redskins on the field. Joe Gibbs didn't even know till it happened according to ESPN.

[JohnnyMapleLeaf]

I read that too...Gibbs didn't even know...Greg Williams never told him of the plan...

It blows my mind that neither Joe Gibbs NOR the Buffalo Bills knew about this, yet I was hearing about it on Wednesday morning!!!!
