[CarMike]

Talk about the game here guys/gals! Lets whip some Iggles ARSE!!!! :sfight:

[CarMike]

Have at it Redskin fans!

[Skinzaholic]

I fear this game... cant stand to hear that EAGLES chant anymore.

[PGiddy18]

I fear this game... cant stand to hear that EAGLES chant anymore.

The city of brotherly love... YEAH... let me tell you. I was walking to the food court (clad in skins gear of course!) and I had people shouting at me from their cars. I even had a "gentleman" come up to me with his "posse" and yell in my face "SKINS SUCK!". I proceeded to shift my food to my one side and went up to this guy shaking his hand telling him "Thank you. I have to give you credit, that is the most origional thing that I have ever heard. I wonder where you get it from and why it hasn't been said to me until now?". The people with him found it amusing. I was told I was "cute and clever" and was invited to watch the game with them. NO THANK YOU! I've got my own people to watch the game with. (besides... they weren't cute :gwink:.) COME ON BOYS~!! Lets beat some iggle arse!

[Skinzaholic]

I feel your pain PGiddy - everywhere I look I hear their stupidity.

And it hurts worse having nothing to say in return.

[RedskinsVision]

Corn Griff is out.. that's going to hurt us.

But this is a Joe Gibbs team and not Norv or Spurrier's, so our team will show heart today! win or lose we will battle them and let them know that the Skins' are going to be reckoned with for the years to come!

[PGiddy18]

I feel your pain PGiddy - everywhere I look I hear their stupidity.

And it hurts worse having nothing to say in return.

It'll change this week babe! It will change!! (Can i tell you that my own father told me that I was no longer his daughter! I wanted to get a picture with him in his eagles sweatshirt and me all decked out in skins *HEAD TO TOE BABY!* and he refused~! But I got one with my twin sister, lol that will be a picture to see!) Have faith Skinzaholic! I know i do. Lets go boys!! WOOO HOOO!
(*I'm pumped for this game*)

[LadyNRedskinsfan]

btw guys....i had a dream we beat the eagals 170-11......:D

[gipper]

Mc DRAB ain't drab and will run wild if we over pursue or don't keep somebody home in the middle.

[IowaSkinsFan]

Hey, we won the toss. Off to a great start.

Another reason to win today, a win drops Dallas to last place in the division!

[IowaSkinsFan]

I've got the freakin' Jints game on here.

[chrisbcbu]

I've got the freakin' Jints game on here.

right now im stuck listening to the Carolina game ugh

[Jimreaper007]

Here we go folks!!!!!

[PGiddy18]

Nice Run CP

[Jimreaper007]

Clinton Portis left....Clinton Portis Right

Running with timely passes

[Jimreaper007]

Good play cooley!!!!

[PGiddy18]

COOOOOOOOOOLEY!!!

[chrisbcbu]

at least we started running the ball, instead of 3 straight passes.

[PGiddy18]

What a MOVE by GARDER!!

[Jimreaper007]

SO far executing the game plan very well

Dictate to the eagles when we run and pass

Good play Gardner!!!!!!!!!!

[Jimreaper007]

Big time face mask

15 yarder

[LadyNRedskinsfan]

15 yd face mask! nice looking drive after a shaking start. lets go skins....

[Jimreaper007]

Great rythm for the skins....

We are balanced...the eagles look on their heels...

Just stay out of bad downs

[Jimreaper007]

The O-Line is doing well and philly can't blitz yet

mixup on the handoff by Ramsey but Portis gains yards

[IowaSkinsFan]

Need to convert here on 3rd down.

[Jimreaper007]

Betts Stopped, but a great opening drive and chance for a field goal!!!!

Excellent first drive and great game plan!

[IowaSkinsFan]

I am surprised Betts has 3 carries on the first possession. Was Portis shaken up?

[frankez99]

good start! good job Kimrin.... :)

[PGiddy18]

THAT is the way you do it~! Woulda loved 7, but putting the points on the board first is KEY! KEEP THE MOMENTUM GOING D!!!! LETS MAKE A STAND!!

[jporterweb]

When's the last time we scored on the opening drive?

[Jimreaper007]

Philly's corners were exposed this drive

As long as we stay out of bad downs (where Philly Blitzes) we can play with these guys

[IowaSkinsFan]

Ramsey looks like he is off to a good start, both completions going for 10+ yards.

[Redskin006]

the playcalling was nice and varied. lets hope our d plays well today and our o can continue playing like they did on that first drive.

[Jimreaper007]

Let's go Defense!

here is where we match up greta against the eagles!!!

[IowaSkinsFan]

Here's another plus, we had the ball for 7:01 on that drive, nearly half the first quarter.

[bgforever]

I'll take the 3 points and the drive, the runs and the passs was clicking and like I said, expect a lot penalties from from the Iggles defense. I thought we coudl have done a pass on second down by the red zone.

[Jimreaper007]

SACCCCCCCCCCCkkkkkkkk

[rskinsfan10]

Sack for Noble

[PGiddy18]

SACKED!! (the eagles fan i am watching this with has her head in her hands :D)

[Jimreaper007]

Left too big a running lane

[rskinsfan10]

McNabb scared of a Smoot tackle?

[PGiddy18]

Wow... a time out already... NICE. COME on D!!

[Jimreaper007]

Peyton Manning is going to break 50 this year...and then some

[Skinzaholic]

Nice start so far.

[Jimreaper007]

3rd and 4 favors the Eagles because your whole playbook is still open

[bosshog001]

Peyton Manning is going to break 50 this year...and then some

Where did that come from?

[Jimreaper007]

Let's go D!!!!!

Gotta close the gap on McNabb faster or he will drop a long one on us.

[rskinsfan10]

Missing Griffin already

[IowaSkinsFan]

This is where no having Arrington really hurts. He was typically a spy on McNabb in previous games.

[Jimreaper007]

They are gonna run at us today alla Bengals so we need to get tough up the middle

3rd and 1 favors the Eagles....Playbook open

[bosshog001]

Are we getting any pressure on McNabb? I'm listening on the radio to the Eagle's station?

[Jimreaper007]

We gotta get them in bad downs like 3rd and 6 or more because that eliminates most running plays

[IowaSkinsFan]

This could be a real quick game. Only 5 minutes left in the first quarter.

[Jimreaper007]

Are we getting any pressure on McNabb? I'm listening on the radio to the Eagle's station?


They are running effectively so we have to stop that first.

[Redskin006]

way too many rushing yards allowed already. i wish griffin was playing right now.

[PGiddy18]

We need to contain McNabb, we aren't doing that well. We get a hand on him but are not able to finish the tackle.

[ArRiNgToN_56]

This isn't supposed to happen, the eagles can't run/

[Jimreaper007]

We need a turnover....

A fumble would be nice

[jporterweb]

Can we not stop these guys, comeon

[rskinsfan10]

That's a terrible spot

[Jimreaper007]

We got robbed on the spot

[bosshog001]

Can't stop McNabb's running. Sounds like a great hit for Taylor

[PGiddy18]

Lets get some GOOD Goal-Line DEFENSE! ('Melo, delete some Pm's babe!!)

[Jimreaper007]

We gotta toughen up

turnover


TD EAGLES

[rskinsfan10]

The right guard moved early on that play. I've counted three terrible mishaps by the officials on that one drive.

[IowaSkinsFan]

So, how's everyone doing with their picks today?

[Carmelo]

Lets get some GOOD Goal-Line DEFENSE! ('Melo, delete some Pm's babe!!)
done.

[Redskin006]

whats up with the defense, i didnt think not having griffin would affect them that much. hopefully greg williams makes some adjustments asap.

[bosshog001]

Darn

[jporterweb]

dammit, I hope we can tighten up on D....comeon Gregg

[Jimreaper007]

The Good News is that McNabb did some super stuff on that drive.

The Bad news is the Eagles are running effectively

[jporterweb]

The right guard moved early on that play. I've counted three terrible mishaps by the officials on that one drive.

Are we to be suprised?

[bosshog001]

So, how's everyone doing with their picks today?

Doint great, 8 right so far. Unfortunately, I've already lost. Someone ahead has 9 and all my picks going forward :-(

[Jimreaper007]

Maybe we can get a spy on McNabb because two of his runs kept that drive alive

[IowaSkinsFan]

The right guard moved early on that play. I've counted three terrible mishaps by the officials on that one drive.

How do you make the transition from week to week, from going to being super involved on game day, to having to watch it on TV? Is it as tough as I imagine it to be? Adrenaline drop off and all?

[ArRiNgToN_56]

I've got all my picks right except Jax, if the Skins win here i win 20 $

[Jimreaper007]

Great Offensive gameplan thus far, but expect Philly to blitz more this drive like on 1st down.

They know the Redskins plan to run today so I would expect a run blitz on this first play unless we give them a three reciever look.

[rskinsfan10]

How do you make the transition from week to week, from going to being super involved on game day, to having to watch it on TV? Is it as tough as I imagine it to be? Adrenaline drop off and all?

For some reason I feel myself more hyped when I'm at home.

[IowaSkinsFan]

Philly is definately geared up to stop the run today.

[JoeJacksonTaylor28]

whats up with the defense, i didnt think not having griffin would affect them that much. hopefully greg williams makes some adjustments asap.
is he definitely out for the game?

[IowaSkinsFan]

For some reason I feel myself more hyped when I'm at home.

Maybe 'cause you've got a job to do at FedEx when you're there?

[Jimreaper007]

Run Blitz.....I knew that was coming

Keep running Skins

[sdredskinsfan]

Gonna be a long day if things don't change.

Gibbs is playing too conservatively once again. He was clearly settling for 3 points when he gave ball to Betts on 3rd and 3 deep in their territory. He obviously doesn't trust Ramsey at this point to make throws downfield. Of course, neither do I, but you have to take chances nonetheless.

Defense is the same as the defenses of the last few years. Letting McNabb run wild.

[IowaSkinsFan]

Run Blitz.....I knew that was coming

Keep running Skins

Joe needs to make 'em pay with a play action bomb.

[PGiddy18]

Nice job by coles

[bosshog001]

I'm watching Eli here in NY. The guy looks lost out there.

[rskinsfan10]

Maybe 'cause you've got a job to do at FedEx when you're there?

Probably. I can actually watch and concentrate more at home and not have to worry about playing the quadtom part to Crazy In Love.

[Jimreaper007]

Nice screen to LC....way to get rid of the ball quickly

[IowaSkinsFan]

Must sustain the drive here!

[Jimreaper007]

I hope they do not rob us on the spot

[rskinsfan10]

They better give us a favorable spot. They owe us at least two.

[bosshog001]

Win or lose, it's nice to get receptions of more than a yard or two.

[sdredskinsfan]

Why is Griffin out of the game?

They are either having some of worst bad luck with injuries or Gibbs is running them too hard in practice and/or their physicians/trainers absolutely suck.

[Jimreaper007]

Gotta stop making those mistakes on 1st down

[IowaSkinsFan]

Was Ramsey changing the play?

[Jimreaper007]

We are making a living out of 1st and 15

Gotta stay in good downs

[Jimreaper007]

Portis tried to setup his screen and the pursuit was too quick

Loss of yards

[rskinsfan10]

Ray Brown looks like he is on borrowed time...

[PGiddy18]

ouchie... COME ON BOYS

[IowaSkinsFan]

Why is Griffin out of the game?

They are either having some of worst bad luck with injuries or Gibbs is running them too hard in practice and/or their physicians/trainers absolutely suck.

He had a hip injury last week and could not go this week.

[sdredskinsfan]

What's funny is that Gibbs actually couldn't get his players to run screens back in his heyday.

[Jimreaper007]

Ray Brown looks like he is on borrowed time...


he looked like that last week...Clemmons pimp-slapped him during the entire Bengals game

[nicefellow31]

We have go to take the diapers off the offense. Gibbs seems not to trust Ramsey at all.

[sdredskinsfan]

He had a hip injury last week and could not go this week.

Thanks.

[IowaSkinsFan]

You should see this drive on game tracker.

Tupa + Thrash = AWESOME! 61 yrd punt baby!! Now lets keep them pinned.

[frankez99]

Man...I'm "watching" this game on NFL.com...and I'm seeing ALOT of negative yard plays for our offense...

[Redskin006]

nice job by thrash. sweet coverage.

[JoeJacksonTaylor28]

Great Offensive gameplan thus far, but expect Philly to blitz more this drive like on 1st down.

They know the Redskins plan to run today so I would expect a run blitz on this first play unless we give them a three reciever look.
We need to throw more down the field....

[Jimreaper007]

Gotta stop the eagles now

I guarantee you TO is getting a few passes here after they run westbrook or Levens

[IowaSkinsFan]

Great play by Thrash.

61 yard punt will help Tupa's average.

[nicefellow31]

Forgot to say hello to you guys. 'Hello".

Looks like Coach Gibbs is playing this one conservatively and will count on his D.

[sdredskinsfan]

We have go to take the diapers off the offense. Gibbs seems not to trust Ramsey at all.

Gibbs has not trusted the offense all season. You'd think he realize his current schemes are not working. It seems that he'd rather lose knowing he did everything he could to minimize mistakes than taking a chance on making mistakes in an effort to actually win.

[IowaSkinsFan]

Probably. I can actually watch and concentrate more at home and not have to worry about playing the quadtom part to Crazy In Love.

MMmmmmm, Beyonce........

[Jimreaper007]

We need to throw more down the field....


Agreed...

but you have to go down field on favorable downs like 2nd and short or 1st down. trying to go deep on 3rd down is bad

[rskinsfan10]

Every week I get madder and madder at Marty for letting Thrash get away. We could have used that hustle these past couple of years.

[sdredskinsfan]

Forgot to say hello to you guys. 'Hello".

Looks like Coach Gibbs is playing this one conservatively and will count on his D.

With Griffin, Arrington, Daniels, Barrows, Bowen out, that would be kind of an optimistic game plan.

[Jimreaper007]

McNabb is putting on a clinic

[nicefellow31]

What's going on Mr Cameraman? Keep up with the play.

[Jimreaper007]

Ok now we have them in a bad down 3rd and 8.

Either bring the pressure or go for a pick

[IowaSkinsFan]

Ray Brown looks like he is on borrowed time...

Which begs the question, where is Vaughn Parker.

Having to play Brown shows an incredible lack of pre planning on the FO and Coaches part by not having a credible backup at OT in case of injury. I'm not saying they could have predicted the injury to Jansen, but Brown wasn't even on the roster when Jansen got hurt. That's just terrible.

[chrisbcbu]

We pin them down on the 1 yd line and we cant hold them. This could turn ugly fast!

Come on D

[Jimreaper007]

SMoot fell down....pinkston gets a deep ball

we came on a blitz and McNabb got it off

[Carmelo]

these third downs are killing me.

[rskinsfan10]

That wasn't taunting?

[IowaSkinsFan]

Who blew that coverage?

[Redskin006]

our defense is looking like the problem now. i know that we have a crapload of defensive injuries, but we gotta play better than this on d.

[IowaSkinsFan]

That wasn't taunting?

Not when you have a winning record..........I guess.......

[sdredskinsfan]

We pin them down on the 1 yd line and we cant hold them. This could turn ugly fast!

Come on D

It's already ugly for me. The defense clearly is outmatched.

[Jimreaper007]

Gotta get to McNabb

they have stopped running

[Carmelo]

That wasn't taunting?
that's exactly what I thought. He threw the ball to taylor after taunting him with it. It wasn't taunting because it wasn't us who did it.

[nicefellow31]

Time for a 3rd down stop

[rskinsfan10]

A LB on Owens isn't gonna fly gents..

[IowaSkinsFan]

It's already ugly for me. The defense clearly is outmatched.

The problem is third downs. Philly has already had quite a few, they just keep converting them.

[Jimreaper007]

Redskin favorable down here...3rd and 15

gotta make sure you keep an eye on McNabb

[jporterweb]

We really need to light a spark somewhere

[sdredskinsfan]

Which begs the question, where is Vaughn Parker.

Having to play Brown shows an incredible lack of pre planning on the FO and Coaches part by not having a credible backup at OT in case of injury. I'm not saying they could have predicted the injury to Jansen, but Brown wasn't even on the roster when Jansen got hurt. That's just terrible.

Kenyatta Jones was to be that credible backup. It is clear that the coaching staff made plenty of right personnel decisions on defense, and plenty of wrong decisions on offense.

[rskinsfan10]

Yeah Haley!!!

[PGiddy18]

WHAT A HIT!!! AWESOME THAT WAS BEAUTIFUL!!!!

[Jimreaper007]

TURNOVER

Haley ROCKED McNabb

[JoeJacksonTaylor28]

YES!!!

[sdredskinsfan]

We really need to light a spark somewhere

Good call. You should stay on the board for awhile. You seem to bring good luck.

[LadyNRedskinsfan]

14 seconds my butt! you got knocked the [censored by spence] out!

[nicefellow31]

DAyyym! He tried split McNabb in two

[IowaSkinsFan]

Whew, that's huge.

[jporterweb]

there we go!

[Carmelo]

14 seconds my butt! you got knocked the [censored by spence] out!
roflmao!!

[smoot]

and on a side note, ramsey is 5/5

[Jimreaper007]

We are definitely gonna have to shuffle the lineman because chasing McNabb all game is gonna suck...

Redskins need to go downfield now on a favorable down like 1st down.

A play-action pass right now or a portis throw to a WR would be optimum

[IowaSkinsFan]

Kenyatta Jones was to be that credible backup. It is clear that the coaching staff made plenty of right personnel decisions on defense, and plenty of wrong decisions on offense.

Hard to argue with that.........

What's Brandon Winey doing these days?

[sammy]

Did we get the ball????????

[sdredskinsfan]

Whew, that's huge.

Stops the bleeding for now at least. Gibbs has got to loosen the reigns on Ramsey just a lil. They are not going to win with Portis running and dinky passes the whole game.

[rskinsfan10]

He won't admit it, but he's in pain (McNabb).

[IowaSkinsFan]

So Haley got the trifecta there? Tackle, forced fumble and fumble recovery?

[nicefellow31]

Man we have put some hits on McNabb today. First Taylor then Haley.

[chrisbcbu]

our defense has been playing pretty bad the first half the last couple of games. So i expected as much this game. But seeing a nice hit like that and a turnover brings a tear to my eye!

[Jimreaper007]

Ok 3rd and 3 and the playbook is open

Watch for a philly blitz

[IowaSkinsFan]

He won't admit it, but he's in pain (McNabb).

What did Haley do, put his helmet in Donovan's chest?

[Jimreaper007]

Flag 3rd and 8


gotta go downfield or screen

[nicefellow31]

When did the Redskins put in a West Coast offense? :lol1:

[sdredskinsfan]

Spurrier's offense doesn't look so bad now.

[IowaSkinsFan]

What's up with the false starts? They not used to Ramsey's cadence?

[Jimreaper007]

Great play call overthrow by ramsey

EXCELLENT PROTECTION

[colkurtz]

Ramsey overtyhrows an open Coles long.

[Jimreaper007]

Man Tupa is THE MAN!!!!!!!!

that was just barely was a touchback

[IowaSkinsFan]

Well, we've got the spread covered right now!

[rskinsfan10]

What did Haley do, put his helmet in Donovan's chest?
McNabb was standing still and Haley had a head of steam and hit from behind.

[nicefellow31]

Rskinsfan, McNabb was scrambling around like he did against the Cowboys on Monday night and he forgot that there were Redskins behind him. He stopped to load up for a throw when Haley drove his shoulder into his back and caused a fumble which we recovered.

[Carmelo]

Man Tupa is THE MAN!!!!!!!!

that was just barely was a touchback
looked pretty didn't it. Probably the player of the year for us. Who'd of thunk it.

[IowaSkinsFan]

McNabb was standing still and Haley had a head of steam and hit from behind.

Sounds beautiful, I am picturing the Leonard Marshall hit on Montana back in 1990. Does that sound close?

[sdredskinsfan]

Great play call overthrow by ramsey

EXCELLENT PROTECTION

These throws are depressing. He hasn't straightened out this problem since he's been with the 'skins. The coaching staff can't do everything for the QB.

[nicefellow31]

Close to the Marshall Montana hit.

[Jimreaper007]

SO far so good...

We are creating turnovers and running the football. We need a sustained drive and the defense needs to hold'em here

Nice play Pierce Loss of 2

[jporterweb]

I just hope Pat can settle down...what happened to the Gibbs that would throw deep on 1st down? He's disappeared this year.

[IowaSkinsFan]

How does Ramsey look, beyond the 6/7 passing?

[Jimreaper007]

I don't want to Jinx him but Springs is doing great on TO

[IowaSkinsFan]

Another 3rd and long for Philly. The D can't be playing that bad.

[rskinsfan10]

Sounds beautiful, I am picturing the Leonard Marshall hit on Montana back in 1990. Does that sound close?

Close, but McNabb's size is the only reason why it wasn't just as bad.

[colkurtz]

Defense playing well.

[sdredskinsfan]

How does Ramsey look, beyond the 6/7 passing?

Same as usual. His completions have been very, very safe passes. He continues his problem with overthrowing........the pass to Coles, and earlier in the game, the pass to Gardner (on play that Gardner was slightly held, resulting in penalty and first down).

[nicefellow31]

Coach Gibbs is playing it pretty conservative. Ramsey has only thrown it deep one time.

[IowaSkinsFan]

FYI, McNabb is Philly's leading rusher with 34 yards. That's also tops in the game.

[Jimreaper007]

We have to Spy McNabb on 3rd down because other than the one long pass to Pinkston he has taken off running on 3rd downs.

[Redskin006]

well if he 6/7 that means he has only overthrown one ball. unless the receivers are just catching really hard passes to catch.

[IowaSkinsFan]

Coach Gibbs is playing it pretty conservative. Ramsey has only thrown it deep one time.

The one deep one was the incompletion?

[BRAVEONAWARPATH]

Coach Gibbs is playing it pretty conservative. Ramsey has only thrown it deep one time.
A little too conservative for my tastes.

[colkurtz]

Close, but McNabb's size is the only reason why it wasn't just as bad.

Haley hit him full speed, high on the back. Not the worst hit I've seen on McKnabb, but I'll take it.

[Jimreaper007]

Gibbs called a great play on the Ramsey overthrow....

I think he is going to try it more now. That play was perfect and had TD written on it.

[sdredskinsfan]

Defense playing well.

Yeah, playing a lot better now. Hope they keep it up. Unfortunately, this probably means Gibbs will continue his ridiculous conservative play calling.

[nicefellow31]

I agree

[IowaSkinsFan]

A score here before half time would really give us the momentum.

[Jimreaper007]

Ray Brown sucks

I cannot wait until Jansesn is back

[bosshog001]

First three seemed decent in length 10-13 yds, but don't know if those were catch and runs. Would like to see him go deep other than 3rd and long so they can't stack the box

[IowaSkinsFan]

Gibbs called a great play on the Ramsey overthrow....

I think he is going to try it more now. That play was perfect and had TD written on it.

The WR was open then?

[Jimreaper007]

If Royal was the lead blocker on that run just now he got destroyed

[sdredskinsfan]

well if he 6/7 that means he has only overthrown one ball. unless the receivers are just catching really hard passes to catch.

He also overthrew Gardner early in the game, when iggles were called for holding Gardner.

[nicefellow31]

Got to take the diapers off this play.

[Redskin006]

i think that gibbs is sticking with portis and the run because he doesnt want to get away from the run. in previous games he has gotten to far away from the run and it has killed us. also he doesnt want to run a fun-n-gun offense because it really doesnt work.

[Jimreaper007]

Ramsey is looking good so far....

Favorable downs 3rd and 6 and Ramsey converts

Randy Thomas is down

Cross your fingers

[IowaSkinsFan]

Betts, from....University of Iowa......seems to be getting more involved today!

[nicefellow31]

Will we run it on 1st down again?

[PGiddy18]

Who's down?

(Nice throw by Ramsey btw)

[sdredskinsfan]

Got to take the diapers off this play.

Off the offense. That doesn't mean he should abandon Portis or the running game, but Gibbs has got to take chances.

[nicefellow31]

Oh boy. Randy Thomas is down.

[sdredskinsfan]

Who's down?

(Nice throw by Ramsey btw)

Randy Thomas.

[colkurtz]

Randy Thomas down, looks like his right leg. We need him.

[rskinsfan10]

For you Nascar fans, Busch wins the title by 8pts.

[Redskin006]

how bad is thomas?

[IowaSkinsFan]

Ramsey is looking good so far....

Favorable downs 3rd and 6 and Ramsey converts

Randy Thomas is down

Cross your fingers

If Thomas is out, I suggest they move Brown to guard and put Molinaro in at tackle.

[colkurtz]

Gibbs has got to throw some to open up the run.

[Jimreaper007]

I hope Gibbs decides to throw on 1st down someday...the Eagles secondary is ripe for the picking considering everything has been short. You have to attack them on downs favorable to you. like 1st or 2nd and short

[nicefellow31]

If Thomas is out, I suggest they move Brown to guard and put Molinaro in at tackle.
I was thinking the same thing.

[IowaSkinsFan]

For you Nascar fans, Busch wins the title by 8pts.

Anybody but Gordon and I'm down with it. Plus, you've got to like a guy named after a beer! :beer:

[sdredskinsfan]

i think that gibbs is sticking with portis and the run because he doesnt want to get away from the run. in previous games he has gotten to far away from the run and it has killed us. also he doesnt want to run a fun-n-gun offense because it really doesnt work.

Of course, somewhere in there is a compromise. Redskins will be lucky to surpass 13 points.

BTW, another overthrow by Ramsey. 3 total overthrows

[Jimreaper007]

McCants was open

Bad throw Ramsey (at least it was downfield)

[GibbsRules!]

Dmac was open!

[nicefellow31]

A McCants sighting. Open but overthrown. Why? Why? Why?

[colkurtz]

Ramsey overthrows an open McCants long. Bummer.

[PGiddy18]

Nice Run by betts. Great second effort.

[IowaSkinsFan]

Is Portis okay? Betts has 4 carries already.

[nicefellow31]

Thomas is being carted off. Friedman is playing RG.

[Jimreaper007]

Thomas is being carted off ...why not Ray Brown???

the Gods of Karma must balance out the equation as we have lost our entire right side starters.

[LadyNRedskinsfan]

thomas getting carted off the field.....not good......:banghead:

[sdredskinsfan]

Gibbs, "Heh, heh, heh........I'm gonna put Betts in more......they'll think we're gonna pass........heh, heh, heh.......but we RUN!!!!!"

[BRAVEONAWARPATH]

Of course, somewhere in there is a compromise. Redskins will be lucky to surpass 13 points.

BTW, another overthrow by Ramsey. 3 total overthrows
Keeping track?..lol

[colkurtz]

Two long passes for sure TD's were overthrown. we're not going to keep getting gifts like that.

Stop it :lol1:

[IowaSkinsFan]

Iggles using their TO's already.

[sdredskinsfan]

A McCants sighting. Open but overthrown. Why? Why? Why?

Hard to overthrow that guy. He's a big guy.

[Jimreaper007]

NIce play LC

[GibbsRules!]

nice call!

[jporterweb]

It's going to take time for Ramsey to settle down. Give him some time.

[IowaSkinsFan]

Two long passes for sure TD's were overthrown. we're not going to keep getting gifts like that.

But we have to keep running those plays to open things up for Portis and Cooley underneath.

[nicefellow31]

Coles must be the best screen and hitch catching receiver in the league. Reminds me of Gary Clark

[Jimreaper007]

Those plays are setting up the bombs....

Ramsey just has to connect on these bombs when the opportunities present themselves

[colkurtz]

Good pass to Coles. All passes are to the flats. At least Ramsey is actually hitting the receivers on those, and the receivers are actually catching them.

[IowaSkinsFan]

It's going to take time for Ramsey to settle down. Give him some time.

Exactly, he has hit everything else underneath. 8/10 for 62 yards and he is keeping the Iggles off the field.

Like 2 seasons? How long is everyone going to give him?...jeezzzzz

[Carmelo]

McCants was open

Bad throw Ramsey (at least it was downfield)
I agree, at least it was downfield. I think that routes like that will come together once the qb/wr relationships develope more.

Gibbs did not run screens in the Gary Clark era...

He stopped running them promptly after the Screen INT in the superbowl versus the Raiders

[sdredskinsfan]

It's going to take time for Ramsey to settle down. Give him some time.

I really hope that he improves considerably not just by the end of this game, but by the end of the season. I really don't want have to find yet another QB to run the offense.

Those are timing plays and will come with time, assuming he is given the chance.

[Jimreaper007]

Thomas....

Right Hammy gone for the game

[nicefellow31]

They say Thomas is done for the game. Nice catch and run for Betts

[Jimreaper007]

GREAT PROTECTION FOR RAMSEY

[sdredskinsfan]

Those are timing plays and will come with time, assuming he is given the chance.

I think Gibbs will give him the rest of the season, as long as Ramsey doesn't make too many boneheaded interceptions or fumbles.

[IowaSkinsFan]

Okay, I hear Thomas is done. Who replaced him in the lineup?

[colkurtz]

But we have to keep running those plays to open things up for Portis and Cooley underneath.

Definetly, it's just that was 14 points we really needed. Ramsey has a long time to pass. Great protection.

[PGiddy18]

Thomas....

Right Hammy gone for the game

Damn...

Nice run by betts, hopefully we can stay strong on the line despite him being out

[Carmelo]

Betts is having a great game so far. We're sustaining drives... That's something new. I'm so used to 3 play drives it's crazy.
