Let's go....A New Era Begins!!!:)

[dj_stouty]

I've seen a lot of swearing during the last two game-day threads.

This will not be tolerated today.

Thanks and enjoy the game.

[Jon Jansen is money]

The Portis jersey is on, the cold beer is in hand. Lets get this game started.

[Rogers_Redskins]

Listening in on tripleXespn, I really hope Jason has great game to boost his confidence.
HAIL SKINS!!!!!!!

[Axegrinder]

I've seen a lot of swearing during the last two game-day threads.

This will not be tolerated today.

Thanks and enjoy the game.
I agree.
I think that you folks are smart enough to express your feelings without having to resort to this level of behavior.
Please think before you post!!!

[jumped off of my soapbox]

[BurnEm 26]

The Portis jersey is on, the cold beer is in hand. Lets get this game started.
Ice cold Windhoek lager, sonny and sam....fingers crossed for the kid!

[Lavar703]

TOday is the day, the start of the Jason Campbell era, lets hope that this day becomes the day in redskins history were one of the greatest redskins players changed things, lets go JASON

[SpicyMcHaggis]

Ok people, here we go!!!! YEAH!!!! LET'S DO THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (In my best Joe Swanson voice).

[SpicyMcHaggis]

So, who do you guys think will be starting at QB for us today?

[dj_stouty]

Glad to see Marshall get to the ball early into this game!

[fent]

like to see us stopping cadillac early. let's see some hard nose football this week boys!

[HailVictory]

Man this is exciting! We get a look at our future, which makes a so so game really interesting.

[dj_stouty]

HERE COMES JASON!

[akhhorus]

Jeez, Gibbs just bench Brunell already!


(sorry, force of habit)


Springs with a nice vet move there. That was a catch until Springs popped it out.

[Jon Jansen is money]

3 and out, great job D

[SpicyMcHaggis]

Washington and Holdman are having good years? Really?

[SkinsFan4Life2003]

Tampa's offense isn't that good, our D should be able to at least play decent tonight

[ryflan47]

Ouch, Randle El got smothered

ITS CAMPBELL TIME!!!

[fent]

that was almost AMAZING!!!!

[Jon Jansen is money]

come on lloyd!!!!!!

[dj_stouty]

OMG! Lloyd dropped it.

[akhhorus]

Should have had that, but beautiful pass by the kid.

[Carmelo]

that was a thing of absolute beauty

[Redskinmayhem]

I love it!

[Biggie]

What a throw!

[JakeIron]

I like it already!!! Keep it going Jason!

[ryflan47]

What a throw!!

[Carmelo]

3rd and 9 kid, what do you got.... Short ball but ATLEAST he threw it past the 3rd down marker

[JakeIron]

Ok, not the way I hoped it would start but A LOT of promising sings!!!

[Carmelo]

despite the 3 and out, I like what I see so far from the O. What you got for me D?

[ryflan47]

A supersmart laser rocket arm!

[LadyNRedskinsfan]

why brandon why?!

[Lavar703]

We look like we more energized for this game, I really think all the players are excited about Jason

[Ibleedburgundy]

you gotta catch that Lloyd!

[SimplyZ]

They arent showing the game here...what was teh "great throw" campbell had? was it a long pass??????

[ryflan47]

ew!! butterfingers!! lol

you're NOT in good hands with alstott

[hail2skins]

Lloyd's arm got hit by the defender. I think he brings that in if it wasn't.

[akhhorus]

I thought our offense was bad, Tampa is just a war crime to watch with the ball.

[Jon Jansen is money]

ew!! butterfingers!! lol

you're NOT in good hands with alstott

ryflan is here all week folks

[SpicyMcHaggis]

Nice hands on the Bucs receivers...

[ryflan47]

Another 3rd and long coming up from the Bucs

[Ibleedburgundy]

Why does the score say Tamp 2 Wash 0?

[SpicyMcHaggis]

They arent showing the game here...what was teh "great throw" campbell had? was it a long pass??????
Yep. Bomb to Lloyd.

[hail2skins]

Bucs have 3rd and 10 and had to call a timeout due to confusion on their part.

[ryflan47]

ryflan is here all week folks

thank you thank you, i'll be signing autographs and kissing babies after the show

[helimech24]

Lloyd has always been known to drop the easier passes

[IMALILTEAPOT]

am i high? why does it say 2-0 TB?

[InsomniaKiller]

i just made a joke to my friends about how since mike alstott touched the football, the refs should give them 2 points.

imagine my amazement when sure enough, the bucs have 2 points. seriously.

did anybody see that? bucs had 2 points for the whole drive. see if they fix it after the commercia.

[HailVictory]

Sonny said on the pregame he told Saunders during the week to throw a deep pass on the kid's first play. He said from experience that it would loosen him up, no matter the outcome, and settle his arm down for the rest of the game. Nice one Sonny. Now that's super smart.

[hail2skins]

Why does the score say Tamp 2 Wash 0?If a safety comes up, we'll know the league is fixed. :D

[Jon Jansen is money]

Bucs have 3rd and 10 and had to call a timeout due to confusion on their part.

yeah, they had two recievers go in motion. would have been a penalty if they snapped it.

[akhhorus]

Bucs have 3rd and 10 and had to call a timeout due to confusion on their part.

Have you noticed that they don't run any motion, or anything imaginative at all on offense. Its like Gruden has the madden playbook out(or more likely, just killing time until January).

[ryflan47]

rumblin bumblin stumblin!!

[SpicyMcHaggis]

rumblin bumblin stumblin!!
:lol1: Excellent analysis by the FOX crew.

[hail2skins]

Let's try to keep the joking to a minimum and let's help those out who can't see the game. We can provide the down and distance for them to keep up.

[hail2skins]

1st and 10 skins gain of 4

2nd and 6. Run, gain of 2

[SimplyZ]

Let's try to keep the joking to a minimum and let's help those out who can't see the game. We can provide the down and distance for them to keep up.
Will the results of this game determine whether you edit a certain someone out of your signature picture?

[ryflan47]

Campbell got drilled :(

[Jon Jansen is money]

jon jansen was not so money on that play

[hail2skins]

3rd and 4

Jasen fell and defender came through. Campbell threw for incompletion.

[jtovb2005]

Was that Janson getting pushed over??

[hail2skins]

Will the results of this game determine whether you edit a certain someone out of your signature picture?Good point. Lady where are you. LOL

[SpicyMcHaggis]

jon jansen was not so money on that play
Nope..not really...

[Carmelo]

ouch. clayton got creamed

[LadyNRedskinsfan]

no matter the qb, u gotta block!

[gibbsisgod]

clayton just got popped

[Jon Jansen is money]

sean taylor with a monster hit and forced a fumble but it went out of bounds

[Skins57]

What a hit on clayton by Taylor

[ryflan47]

Sean Taylor has 1 mode

Kill

[SpicyMcHaggis]

Monster hit by Taylor.

[Skins57]

Alstott is a beast

[AliBabba]

Sean Taylor!!!

[ryflan47]

Umm.. so we're gonna put Duckett in riiiight?

[Skins57]

ouch man....Springs got rolled

[Carmelo]

Mike alstott just ran through Shawn Springs like he was a piece of cardboard. Springs rolled around on the ground afterwards

[SpicyMcHaggis]

Wow. Springs just got leveled...

[LadyNRedskinsfan]

someone get the license plate of that truck that hit springs. ouch.

[44FAN]

Springs is going to have a major headache if he keeps trying to tackle Alstott like that.

[ryflan47]

Cadallac has really been a disappointment this year

[Ibleedburgundy]

3rd and 4 Bucs take another timeout

[dj_stouty]

Ouch. And Springs wants to switch to safety? ;)

[SpicyMcHaggis]

Are the Bucs aware they only ave 3 TOs per half?

[X-Factor13]

hey all. how has campbell looked? i know he's 0/3, but... is it a good 0/3? lol

[Carmelo]

Ouch. And Springs wants to switch to safety? ;)
Hey may be rethinking that right now... if he's doing much thinking at all.

[gibbsisgod]

i bet AA would have stopped alstott....maybe?

[RedskinRyan]

theres no better sight than springs getting leveled by alstott on more than one occassion....on one drive.....*sighs*

[Lavar703]

I think Shawn Springs just made Jacked Up

[Skins57]

man, I hope we get to see TJ run like Alstott has been already darn

[hail2skins]

hey all. how has campbell looked? i know he's 0/3, but... is it a good 0/3? lolYeah, one was long on his first play and almost caught.

[Carmelo]

hey all. how has campbell looked? i know he's 0/3, but... is it a good 0/3? lol
That first pass was absolutely gorgeous.

[Skins57]

hey all. how has campbell looked? i know he's 0/3, but... is it a good 0/3? lol


At least 2 drops

[akhhorus]

Hillard looked shocked to have caught that one.

[SpicyMcHaggis]

The Bucs have scored a TD in the first quarter only twice. Let's see if we can keep it that way D.

[X-Factor13]

good to know we still make any qb look good

[LadyNRedskinsfan]

wtg D! :rolleyes:

[Carmelo]

Our defense is giving up all sorts of ground. We're getting pushed around the place.

[hail2skins]

What, we can't stop the run.

[Skins57]

man we have to stop the run or it is gonna be a long day

[helimech24]

good to know we still make any qb look goodAnd any RB

[Skins57]

Why not just give it to Alstott, we can not stop him at all

[X-Factor13]

washington on the stop!

[RedskinRyan]

wow springs was alllllll over clayton, and surprisingly no flag

[akhhorus]

Got away with one there lol

[hail2skins]

3rd and 4 incomplete.

Field goal attempt good

Bucs 3
Skins 0

[Carmelo]

wow. Shawn Springs was all over that guy. I'm not sure if we should have had a flag or not but I'll take that. Bucs make FG

[Skins57]

Springs nice play, close to interference but not as close as it looked at first

[Ibleedburgundy]

five nothin-er three nothing tampa

[helimech24]

Got away with one there lolI don't how more obvious that PI was. We were way lucky.

[Skins57]

they stop using Alstott and I believe that saved us a TD

[Redskin006]

good stop by the D. we have to be more aware when alstotts in the game. he's their only offense.

[44FAN]

I'd like to see T.J. get some carries.

[SimplyZ]

at least it wasnt a 62 yarder

[hail2skins]

Now we need a nice long drive for 7. Run the ball and get Duckett in the game and work him like Tampa is working Alstott.

[X-Factor13]

well we held them to a field goal at least

[Skins57]

I don't how more obvious that PI was. We were way lucky.


Not sure it was as clear cut as it first looked

[SkinsFan4Life2003]

it would be nice to see some positive production from the offense on this drive.

[akhhorus]

The kicker gets nailed for a late hit LMAO

[hail2skins]

ah ha, late hit. We get 15 more yards

[Skins57]

I also want to see TJ this drive maybe Joe will see Alstotts success and try it

[helimech24]

I'd like to see T.J. get some carries.I think everyone would

[RedskinRyan]

ROFL, a personal foul on bryant???

[SpicyMcHaggis]

Lol..late hit on the kicker??

[Redskin006]

thats a big confidence completion.

[X-Factor13]

AND THE FIRST COMPLETION OF THE CAMPBELL ERA!!

[Skins57]

We have to run the ball todayand not put the game on Jasons shoulders

[Lavar703]

awesome

[SpicyMcHaggis]

WOW!!

[hail2skins]

Nice play Campbell. That'll get people excited

[AliBabba]

Brunell could def have done that

[gibbsisgod]

thats right good play kid

[Carmelo]

Nice manuveur to get away and make the beautiful pass to thrash! Nice, NICE Nice!

[RedskinRyan]

id like to see somebody tell me that brunell could have made that play.....real nice avoiding the sack, then getting the ball out with accuracy.

[JakeIron]

Wooohoooo...there's a pass that only campbell completes!!!

[44FAN]

Nice!

[Ibleedburgundy]

JC just did something Brunell can't do-break a tackle and complete a nice pass.

[akhhorus]

Nice play by the kid. Very nice.

[Skins57]

Is Thrash about as a clutch guy as we have without Moss

[X-Factor13]

AND THE SECOND!!!! GJ CAMPBELL!

[dj_stouty]

WOW! Great job under pressure, Jason!

Is it me, or is Thrash always open?

[AliBabba]

they are rolling him out a lot

[SimplyZ]

what happened? 14 yard gain i see on yahoo gamechannel but what was the pass?

[Carmelo]

Brunell could def have done that
:lol1:

[Carmelo]

WOW! Great job under pressure, Jason!

Is it me, or is Thrash always open?
How about Thrash these last few weeks? He's been solid as a sleeper reciever.

[Skins57]

With this personal foul by the kicker, we have to score here.

[helimech24]

Can't believe he completed that pass

[X-Factor13]

alright boys third down!!! let's convert!!!!!!!

[Carmelo]

Jason sacked.

[Skins57]

TB brought the house

[jtovb2005]

Come on that was clear offsides?

[RedskinRyan]

With this personal foul by the kicker, we have to score here.

yeah, it should be tj time....nobody could have avoided that sack

[helimech24]

WHERE IS OUR OFFENSIVE LINE??

[X-Factor13]

well at least we'll get three

[Skins57]

Brunell could have avoided that one...

[dj_stouty]

Tied up....come on defense. MAKE A STOP!

[hail2skins]

Game is tied at 3

Campbell got mauled on 3rd down. I can't believe they didn't have him in the shotgun on that play.

[Lavar703]

Wow, was ROnde offsides

[Skins57]

WHERE IS OUR OFFENSIVE LINE??


that was just ugly..wow

[Ibleedburgundy]

Redskins losing the battle at the line of scrimmage.

[jtovb2005]

Anyone else think he was offsides there?

Good Kick too.

[SpicyMcHaggis]

Game is tied at 3

Campbell got mauled on 3rd down. I can't believe they didn't have him in the shotgun on that play.
Yeah..he really did not have a chance on that play..

[Jon Jansen is money]

WHERE IS OUR OFFENSIVE LINE??

brought too many guys to block

[SkinsFan4Life2003]

WHERE IS OUR OFFENSIVE LINE??

looking up places to cash their oversized paychecks

[RedskinRyan]

and i hate to admit it, but im nervous everytime novak comes out to kick a FG...but no question on that one, good all the way

[44FAN]

With Campbells arm I would think TB has to respect the deep ball. Good time to hit those flanker screens.

[hail2skins]

Redskins losing the battle at the line of scrimmage.Tampa bought a lot of people that time. We didn't have enough to block them.

[Skins57]

maybe we can see a few blitzes here from our defense

[akhhorus]

Tampa bought a lot of people that time. We didn't have enough to block them.

Tampa brought at least 4 blitzers with a total risk blitz.

[Carmelo]

Redskins losing the battle at the line of scrimmage.
on both sides of the ball

[whitskins]

Tampa bought a lot of people that time. We didn't have enough to block them.

And Betts blew Ronde a kiss on his pick up. Portis would have laid him out.

[SpicyMcHaggis]

Ok fellas, let's move this along...

[44FAN]

Game is tied at 3

Campbell got mauled on 3rd down. I can't believe they didn't have him in the shotgun on that play.
They haven't used the shotgun alot this season. I was wondering about that last week while Brunell kept getting up and spitting grass.

[Skins57]

and i hate to admit it, but im nervous everytime novak comes out to kick a FG...but no question on that one, good all the way


Amen. Can we ever overcome the John Hall feeling...ever? man we need TDs so we only have to kick extra points

[Carmelo]

and i hate to admit it, but im nervous everytime novak comes out to kick a FG...but no question on that one, good all the way
Lately, I've been nervous every time the ball is snapped.

[SkinsFan4Life2003]

this game seems to me moving very slowly or is it just me???

[AliBabba]

I think I know why we are rolling out JC so much --- we know we can't block at ALL.

You'd think our protection would be better considering the self-proclaimed best DE in football isn't active.... oh well. More rollouts, more shotgun, more DUCKETT!!!

[helimech24]

that was just ugly..wow
Samuels is getting killed.

[RedskinRyan]

the longest kickoff EVER....maybe by tomorrow it will be done

[Thugzbunny]

looking up places to cash their oversized paychecks


:lol1: Good one

[Skins57]

we need a 3 and out this time

[SkinsFan4Life2003]

it would be nice to see one kickoff make it to the endzone.

[Skins57]

Would love to JC have a little time to throw, so we can get a fair chance to see what he can do

[jtovb2005]

Nive past the 1st down marker coverage again by Rogers. At least it was on second down.

[SpicyMcHaggis]

Rogers cannot keep giving 10 yard cushions..

[AliBabba]

Rogers cannot keep giving 10 yard cushions..
amen brother

[Skins57]

it would be nice to see one kickoff make it to the endzone.


Just watch the other teams kicker.. we have to be cursed forever by John Hallitis

[SkinsfaninNJ]

Our defense has got to step up sometime this year.

[helimech24]

I think I know why we are rolling out JC so much --- we know we can't block at ALL.

You'd think our protection would be better considering the self-proclaimed best DE in football isn't active.... oh well. More rollouts, more shotgun, more DUCKETT!!!
And the biggest problems have been Samuels and Jansen, our line stars.

[Ibleedburgundy]

Rogers can't run with Galloway

[RedskinRyan]

Would love to JC have a little time to throw, so we can get a fair chance to see what he can do

id love to see the defense stop somebody. the most consistent thing this year is rogers allowing a first down cause he gives more cushion than marlo's furniture.

[Skins57]

Rogers can't run with Galloway
and Galloway is older than dirt:banghead:

[akhhorus]

Our defense has got to step up sometime this year.

Why? They haven't done it yet this year.

[helimech24]

Rogers cannot keep giving 10 yard cushions..Wasn't he suppose to one of the more physical and fast CBs in that draft. I haven't seen either.

[Skins57]

I say we just send Taylor up to hit Galloway in the five yards and just cream him and knock him out of every play..lol

[SpicyMcHaggis]

Why? They haven't done it yet this year.
We are strong believers in tradition.

[LASKINFAN]

didnt i inform you we have kansas citys defense from last year thanks al.

[44FAN]

Man, our tackling is atrocious

[dj_stouty]

The Bucs would be wise to run the ball ALL DAY. Stick with what is working...

[jtovb2005]

Come on they have that play defensed and he gets 7-8 yards?

[Dolla Bill]

Hey everyone. Just came in. How do things look?

[akhhorus]

How did Marcus Washingtoon get just macked by Cadilac there?

[RedskinRyan]

didnt i inform you we have kansas citys defense from last year

ohhhhhh, so THATS what al saunders brought over...

marcus washington just missed an easy tackle on cadillac

[helimech24]

and Galloway is older than dirt:banghead:Give Galloway some credit, he is still one of the fastest WRs out there.

[SkinsFan4Life2003]

this has got to be the slowest game i've witnessed in a very long time

[44FAN]

Hey everyone. Just came in. How do things look?
Campbell's had a few nice plays. Both lines are stinking up the joint

[helimech24]

didnt i inform you we have kansas citys defense from last year thanks al.Minus the offense because of budget cuts right.

[SpicyMcHaggis]

this has got to be the slowest game i've witnessed in a very long time
If it weren't for Campbell I might have already fallen asleep.

[dj_stouty]

NFCEast update:

Philly down 7-3.
McNabb already has a pickle.
Philly's running game is non-existant

[Skins57]

Give Galloway some credit, he is still one of the fastest WRs out there.


I know, Joey still has skills and wheels but it seems like we get beat by everyone... another stellar defensive play on that one:banghead:

[dj_stouty]

Springs got juked on that one...

[jtovb2005]

Hey everyone. Just came in. How do things look?


Lol, crappy 3-3 game but Skins looking the worst.
Uninspired Defense as usual and Offense line standing around. No change except Campell is not looking bad.

[LASKINFAN]

Minus the offense because of budget cuts right.
:banghead: yep maybe next year we get the o.

[Jon Jansen is money]

springs is having a real bad game so far

[SpicyMcHaggis]

I hope Springs will be better than this next year...

[Ibleedburgundy]

Sean Taylor tries his best to get another late hit penalty but they didn't call it

[Dolla Bill]

Why do I get the feeling that this defense just gave up this year.

[akhhorus]

We have a defense...in theory.

[X-Factor13]

somehow i knew we were gonna give up the third down convertion

[SpicyMcHaggis]

Our defense should be ranked 33rd.

[SkinsFan4Life2003]

tampa has the 30th ranked rushing offense and the 28th ranked passing offense, and yet our D still can't get a stop

[SkinsfaninNJ]

NFL gamecenter point. For a while, if you have the any other game up, it shows Phila has -3 points. I didn't know you could go less than 0.

[Skins57]

springs is having a real bad game so far


other than the nice play at the beginning of the game

[Carmelo]

when will our defense take a stand?

[akhhorus]

Our defense should be ranked 33rd.

In the CFL.

[SkinsfaninNJ]

Our defense is making the TB O look good, and that's hard to do.

[44FAN]

The sad awful truth is that both lines need to be blown up and reconstructed for next year.

[SpicyMcHaggis]

Our linebackers are just amazingly invisible.

[Skins57]

yea, and also has then 7-3 but has philly with a td and fg on the box score

[jtovb2005]

Ok, absolutly no change in the Defense's play. This is pathetic. Just about none of the starters are making their money. We need many new players on the D.

[LadyNRedskinsfan]

i wish campbell could tackle too. :rolleyes:

[Lavar703]

That was beautiful, completely Beautiful, oh my god that was beautiful, oh shut up

[SkinsFan4Life2003]

when will our defense take a stand?

our D only stands for the National Anthem

[akhhorus]

The sad awful truth is that both lines need to be blown up and reconstructed for next year.

I disagree on the Oline, Tampa is just bringing blitz after blitz because Campbell is in. But the Dline isn't the problem. The Lbs are horrible.

[Carmelo]

unbelievable. Our defense is asleep. Thanks for the flag refs. Maybe we can do it better this time around.

[Skins57]

when will our defense take a stand?


doesn't look good for anytime soon

[SkinsfaninNJ]

If I hear miss a tackle again, I'm going to scream.

[akhhorus]

i wish campbell could tackle too. :rolleyes:

Darn Brunell, why do you keep missing tackles.

[Ibleedburgundy]

Arch comes in for a passing down:banghead:

[JakeIron]

defense is weak as usual...lets see if we get a stop here. This set of downs started with 1&20 and they got flagged 5 more...

[Skins57]

Arch came into the game on 3rd and 9 and TB got confused and called a TO? heck even I know where to run the play too

[hail2skins]

Tampa saw Arch in the game and decided to call a timeout to select a play that would take advantage of him.

[LASKINFAN]

tampas oline tackles better than our defense except taylor .

[SpicyMcHaggis]

Darn Brunell, why do you keep missing tackles.
Brunell could actually be an improvement over out linebackers if we brought him in..it's hard to do worse..

[jtovb2005]

Arch came into the game on 3rd and 9 and TB got confused and called a TO? heck even I know where to run the play too


LOL.

[RedskinRyan]

who thinks springs will get cut after this year?

[helimech24]

In the CFL.That is too good for them, I say NFL Europe.

[SkinsfaninNJ]

There are plays for our D to make, they just have to execute.

[gibbsisgod]

Our defense should be ranked 33rd.


there is code red mountain dew all over the key board now....thanks

[44FAN]

But the Dline isn't the problem. The Lbs are horrible.
it's kinda hard for a lb to tackle when the running back blows thru the dline with a 10 yard head of steam.

[Lavar703]

Hey instead of Calling for a Mulligan when we mess up, how about we just call for a Brunell now?
