Oh well. Enough of that crap. 3 hours to kick off!

[dj_stouty]

Make that 2 hours 50 minutes till kick off....

[Odyn]

yo madden 2004 is the bomb. We got to the NFC Championship game and lost to the niners 13-10 OT

[TexSkin]

LOL i just read your sig Odyn.:lol1: :lol3: :lol3:

[TexSkin]

Its game time baby!

[Skinzaholic]

Come on Skins!

[HollywoodKolt]

[TexSkin]

We won the toss..lets get ready to rumble

[SkinsKY]

[SkinsKY]

[TexSkin]

Morton downs it we got it at the 20

[TexSkin]

Yup champ..here we go

[TexSkin]

Ram incn to johnson :( bad throw

[TexSkin]

uggh Ram is out to bad start....almost got pick..penaly on skins..not a good start

[SkinsKY]

not looking good guys

[SkinsKY]

what is going on?

[TexSkin]

fumbled the snap......down at the skins 3...crap!!!

[TexSkin]

Man wtf..this looks like Marty preseason all over again.

[SkinsKY]

okay barker, not bad...keep it up

[TexSkin]

At least one positive

[SkinsKY]

hopefully our defense will step it up

[TexSkin]

Here we go again..13 yards for a mediocre back

[TexSkin]

3 yards for smith..noble tackled

[TexSkin]

Moving the ball well on us again... :(

[TexSkin]

they are already in the red zone

[SkinsKY]

Do we have anybody watching the game on TV?

[HollywoodKolt]

[TexSkin]

[SkinsKY]

[TexSkin]

Sigh here we go again :(

[Skinzaholic]

yep

[Skinzaholic]

Stupid mistakes

[SkinsKY]

I don't know if I can sit through another game like the last

[SkinsKY]

nice hollywood, hopefully you can help us see exactly what the problem is

[SkinsKY]

Watching the Bills/Titan game on ESPN...Bills D doesn't look very good (but Spikes isn't playing this game.)

[Skinzaholic]

Looks like Trung is doing well.

[HollywoodKolt]

This drive has been better so far. I D-line has zero push I mean the way they're playing New England could rush for 100 yards

[TexSkin]

bout time we got something going

[SkinsKY]

good job Gardner

15yd diving reception

[TexSkin]

Yes Ramsey looking sharper..1st down to gardner

[TexSkin]

He is missing the dinks and dunks

[HollywoodKolt]

Huge pass to coles that was awesome. Perfect pass from Ramsey

[Skinzaholic]

Nice pass to Skaggs!

[SkinsKY]

geez hollywood, I'm a full play behind you,

but it builds my emotion before each play :D

[TexSkin]

almost got sacked...uhh what did we pay for this line if they are gonna get Ram killed

[TexSkin]

Yup so am I hehe..they said it was Coles who caught it

[TexSkin]

29 catch for coles

[TexSkin]

Crap INT!!!

[SkinsKY]

The announcers see that we need to run the football, why doesn't Spurrier. 3:8 run-pass ratio will not do it.

[TexSkin]

Well at least they showed some life this time

[SkinsKY]

Hollywood, are the announcers right in saying that Ramsey was trying to throw it away when he was hit?

[TexSkin]

Smith pikcing up good chunks of yardage on this d...at least he is not making huge chunks

[TexSkin]

Crap NOble is down!

[TexSkin]

they are carting Noble off..man this is terrible

[TexSkin]

Looks like his knee :(

[SkinsKY]

Knee injuries suck...they better be finding another tackle right now

[RedskinsDave]

um, they suck

[TexSkin]

TD to patton NE 14-0 CRAP!!!!!

[SkinsKY]

This is getting ugly

[RedskinsDave]

I meant the team not knee injuries

[TexSkin]

85 fricking yard TD pass

[RedskinsDave]

gee, a special teams error, nah

[HollywoodKolt]

yep it looked like it to.

Noble is definitaly done for the year. That was almost definitaly ACL if not MCL and PCL as well. This game is horrendous. The O looks decent but the Defense S-U-C-K-S sucks

[TexSkin]

Morton got a good retunr,,,32 yards

[SkinsKY]

find the fattest guy you can find and have him lay down in the middle of the line. We just need somebody.

[TexSkin]

No kidding...we never get any breaks..this team needs better disicpline

[SkinsKY]

Give Kenny the ball and let him go.

[SkinsKY]

keep movin offense.

[TexSkin]

The offense at least looks decent....we need serious help on the defense

[RedskinsDave]

Ramsey looks horrible

[Skinzaholic]

Noble looked bad?

[SkinsKY]

how is he looking horrible? more specifically than his stats show

[TexSkin]

Oh god...someone get the panick button ready hehe

[RedskinsDave]

He gave the em the people's first down!!

[TexSkin]

Finally Spurrier does not throw on short yardage

[SkinsKY]

good job Rock

[Skinzaholic]

Penalty on Jansen

[TexSkin]

penalties are ficking killing us...thats the coaches fault

[TexSkin]

Is Ram ok?

[RedskinsDave]

bah

[TexSkin]

Ram is ok ..the announcers said he might have bhurt his hand

[Skinzaholic]

Says his hand looks ok

[TexSkin]

Good hand Trung..8 yard gain

[Skinzaholic]

Nice catch Trung!

[SkinsKY]

okay, 3rd down...come on Offense

[Skinzaholic]

Now they are saying Ramsey looks hurt!

[HollywoodKolt]

OT: Mike Vick is hurt. I checked comcast and they were taking him off in a cart.

Brady is tearing washington apart.

[TexSkin]

Dammmit..Morton droped the fricking pass for a sure 1st down

[TexSkin]

OMG he is my starter in FF..I hope Vick is ok

[TexSkin]

Bruceee!!!!

[Skinzaholic]

Nice play by Champ

[TexSkin]

This team is undiscplined..very undiscp

[SkinsKY]

nice hold D

[Skinzaholic]

Trotter scared him there!

[HollywoodKolt]

Nice run by canidate

[SkinsKY]

managed to stop them outside of our redzone...getting better

[SkinsKY]

ooh I can't wait till I can hear about Canidate....

[TexSkin]

12 yards by Trung..your right good job by him and Watson..they both look good.

[SkinsKY]

OT: they showed Vick's injury on ESPN...was a knee or calf injury, didn't look very good.

[SkinsKY]

does anyone know a site that keeps up to date stats?
NFL.com sucks

[RedskinsDave]

DROPPED PASSES!!!

[Skinzaholic]

Good stats for quarter... but no points

[Skinzaholic]

Come on Rod! Catch it!

[TexSkin]

Man with a young QB the dropped passes are just killing us

[Skinzaholic]

3rd punt tonight

[SkinsKY]

sucks about points, but we're holding the ball. Change only a lucky interception and one running play during the first drive and this is a different ballgame

[Skinzaholic]

Another penalty

[TexSkin]

Barker is at least punting well

[RedskinsDave]

Try cbssportsline.com Game Center

[Skinzaholic]

Nice punt for Barker!

[TexSkin]

This is is badly coached team imo

[TexSkin]

Barker is trying to keep his job well it seems

[SkinsKY]

I think our coaching may have a lot to do with it too Tex...anytime the entire team is undiciplined, it points towards the coach.

[Skinzaholic]

Are all the starters still in?

[Skinzaholic]

Sam is yelling at Lavar on the radio! "Get your hands off your hips and tackle someone!"

[TexSkin]

Def is finally showing some improvement

[TexSkin]

Is it me or has that been the Skins D for last 10 years...can never stop anyone on 3rd down. :(

[Skinzaholic]

Smith almost got Brady that time...

[Skinzaholic]

Another silly mistake... too many men on field

[TexSkin]

they have to call timeout cuz too many people on the field..once again sloppy ass play.

[SkinsKY]

we haven't been good on third down...but I don't know if it's because we never call good defenses on 3rd down or our def just doesn't tighten up for three plays in a row

[Skinzaholic]

Can we do something with good field position this time?

[TexSkin]

yeah they held them for once on 3rd and long

[SkinsKY]

OT: Titans are looking really good...up on the Bills 21-0

[Skinzaholic]

Another penalty

[Skinzaholic]

Spurrier is leaving the starters in for a long time tonight.

[TexSkin]

They bettr clean this crap up by the thrid game or man oh man I am gonna be pissed

[TexSkin]

Originally posted by Skinzaholic

He needs to..they need the fricking practice together

[SkinsKY]

They need to be left in...and learn how not to move before the ball is snapped.

[TexSkin]

Ram sacked.. :(

[TexSkin]

good sounding screen... :)

[TexSkin]

Samuels is hurt ..anyone know more about it?

[RedskinsDave]

Coles was wide open

[RedskinsDave]

Ramsey looks lost out there

[TexSkin]

Rock is the man for short yardage!

[TexSkin]

Coles! The offense is showing alot of improvement

[RedskinsDave]

Finally!!

[TexSkin]

anyone know if they are still going against teh NE 1st team def?

[TexSkin]

TD! HTR BABY!

[TexSkin]

I finally get to hear our guys playing Hail to the Redskins!

[TexSkin]

Everytime we do somehting good..the ST always seem to take that momentum away

[TexSkin]

Yeah Wynn sacked Brady

[TexSkin]

nice 3 and out baby!

[TexSkin]

Where is everyone? :D

[Brett A]

OT: Vick broke his fibula

[TexSkin]

Vick fractured his right fibula btw....:(

[TexSkin]

more penalties

[TexSkin]

Barker looks shapr tonight at least

[TexSkin]

Should have kept Barker in

[TexSkin]

They said Vick is gone for the year...CRAP

[TexSkin]

Now they are saying may not be season ending but still he will probably out for awhile

[TexSkin]

finally some penalties on an opposing team..maybe our players are rubbing off on them hehe

[TexSkin]

Bauman looking good

[Skins57]

Originally posted by TexSkin

I just got home. Is this Michael Vick you are talking about?

[TexSkin]

Spurrier says preliminaries on Noble are a dislocated kneecap, out until midseason.................

[TexSkin]

Yup :( Skins 57

[Skaggsrules]

Vick is only going to miss 6 weeks which means he wont play against the Redskins

[Skinsfan]

Mike Vick is out for 6 weeks with a broken fibula. He'll miss week two's matchup with the Skins.

[TexSkin]

And the one with the Cowboys

[Skaggsrules]

says ESPN

[Skinsfan]

Oh man, is Noble hurt? I won't get to watch the game until 11 (stupid Boston-area channel).

[TexSkin]

Yeah he hurt his knee..

Spurrier says preliminaries on Noble are a dislocated kneecap, out until midseason.

[Skins57]

damn, I thought he would get hurt as most running Qb's do. But wow. That sucks I wanted Lavar to knock him silly( not hurt him just say hello)

[Skins57]

how did Noble get hurt

[TexSkin]

Just a normal run play..they carted him off

[Skinsfan]

Well nuts...I hope someone is working the phones for a DT

[TexSkin]

me too skinsfan me too

[Skins57]

that really sucks, DL is last place we can afford to have injuries

[TexSkin]

They had some sloppy play but overall they looked better then last week.

[Skinzaholic]

Vick should only miss until week 3 or 4... you watch... he will heal quickly... he is young

[TexSkin]

I hope your right Skinz...he was my starter :(

[Skins57]

Wa Vick scrambling or just a routine play

[Skinzaholic]

He was rolling right... the hit looked not too bad... not like Theismans was...

[TexSkin]

Did not see the play..listening to sonny and the gang

[Skinzaholic]

They are speculating that the turf in the Georgia Dome is the culprit

[Skins57]

Well I am going back to the TV and then to work. I hope we can light it up this half

[TexSkin]

dam we almost got it

[Skinzaholic]

Did Ramsey throw our TD pass... I missed it and NFL.com is messed up tonight.

[TexSkin]

No it was a run by Trung..but Ram led them there with good passing

[TexSkin]

Rock hs looked real good short yardage as well

[TexSkin]

Well great the Skins fumbled the punt

[TexSkin]

Go Iffy!

[Skinzaholic]

Trung has had a good game... that is a plus!

[TexSkin]

Yeah there are alot more positive to ake out of this game then the last one.

[TexSkin]

Hey old L Jackson got a sack

[TexSkin]

Rob Johnson is the QB now

[TexSkin]

Watson has looked strong tonight..go ahead and trade Betts :)

[TexSkin]

I know its the second teamers but Watson is tearing it up!

[RedskinsDave]

Patrick "brick hands" Johnson

[TexSkin]

Ever since they brought in Woeful..Rob has looked sharp

[TexSkin]

Fricking Rock is the man!

[TexSkin]

Dockery is looking good as well

[Skinzaholic]

Field Goal... was it Hall?

[TexSkin]

Man you are way ahead of me I just got the fg..they did not say who

[Skinzaholic]

It was Hall... 27 yards

[TexSkin]

Wtf is with our ST

[Skinzaholic]

Mike Scott has got to be fuming!

[TexSkin]

I swear ..like I said anytime we get any type of momentum the dam ST ruins it..happens all the time for us . :(

[Skinzaholic]

Come on Chad... return the favor!

[TexSkin]

Is he still in?

[RedskinsDave]

Do I have to say this every week? Fire Mike Stock!!

[TexSkin]

And of course holding on us...no new news there

[Skinzaholic]

Maybe not... looks like P Johnson ran it back 19 yards

[Skinzaholic]

Hey Dave... I think it is because you are telling the wrong people! LOL!

[Skinzaholic]

Our defense looked like crap tonight

[Skinzaholic]

Nice pass to Johnson!

[TexSkin]

RJ sacked..penalties are crap

[Skinzaholic]

Rob Johnson is looking pretty good against the back ups!

[Highlander]

by ty warren. Was it his fault or did the O-line breakdown?

[Skinzaholic]

Whats going on?

[Skinzaholic]

Guess we are done here tonight. LOL

[Odyn]

time to pack it up... well in review here is what we need to work on.....





















everything....

[RedskinsDave]

Very astute analysis, I concur.

[RedskinsDave]

Go Gibran! A fellow O'Connell alumnus.

[RedskinsDave]

The clock should've stopped on that pass. He was out of bounds.

[BigCountry]

I didn't see the game but I know the biggest area that needs work and unfortunatly it's too late. A certain Mr. Spurrier will probably never make it in the NFL because he pays attention to details like a 5 year old and it just won't cut it here. Much respect to what he accomplished in college but he won't do anything special here. Where have you gone Marty Schottenheimer?

[RedskinsDave]

If you want Marty back you have an extremely short memory.

[BigCountry]

No I remember a team that got off to a horrible start but one that actually showed character and played smart efficiant football. Right now Marty looks like he would have been a better coach.

Sorry BC. didn't mean to click edit. Meant to click quote....

[RedskinsDave]

That team never showed character. Marty did the opposite last year in SD. The Bolts started off hot and floundered in the end. I guess that's boring Marty's new MO.

His teams are boreing but they, for the most part, are winners....at the pro level.

I'm not endorsing Marty just defending him.

Marty isn't the GM in San Diego either. If he would have let go of some of the power in DC, Snyder may have kept him around.

Its easy now to say that we should have kept Marty. But I for one was happy to see Spurrier come here. And I'm not ready to throw in the towel for him coaching the Redskins.

Lets see how we do during the season......

[GolfFreak]

Just wondering about a specific play in Saturday's game - anyone remember when NE blitzed and Ramsey hiked the ball right when the LB was at full speed. I couldn't believe it - it was like he was helping out the defense. Not sure if the clock was winding down or what, but that play just sticks out in my head.

Oh well - guess that's part of his learning process. I'm sure we'll see plays like that throughout the season as he's only a 2nd year player. Same with the INT. It's probably best that these plays happend in preseason - hopfully he'll rememeber what NOT to do in the real games.
