The Skins did not want to play tonight..

they are not a very well coached team in general, often look confused and in chaos. However, the Redskins weakest link is their offensive line - not very physical. That is why I think our favorite team will finish with a losing record this year.

With that said, I still be there every home week cheering them on.

Your thread topic says it all. They didn't want to win tonight. If they did...they would have started Gardner, Arrington, Coles, Trotter, Candiate, Bailey...etc.

They left their starters out for health's sake. Which is a very wise decision.

This game was simply a chance to evaluate talent. Nothing more...nothing less.

Lets not read into it any further than that. (Except for the fact that Hall is the REAL DEAL)

I agree DJ. I wouldn't say our oline is the weakest link. They looked prett solid against the Ravens. They actually lined people up all over the place tonight. They got a good look at some of the younger guys. Whether they liked what they saw is another story.

Yup, actually i could care friggin less if we won this or lost it. Basically, it took up an evening

I'd rather answer questions now and win games later.

I don't think that's what 29 is saying. No, they didn't play many starters, and no, they didn't use a real game plan, but the players out there tonight didn't play with any heart. I saw about eight or nine white jerseys going through the motions on any given play, and making a ton of sloppy mistakes while they were at it. Some of that can be attributed to it being a preseason game, but come on, most of the players out there were fighting for their jobs! Show some fire, dammit! I guarantee you if my high school coach were in charge of the team, he'd be angry at the way they played tonight.

And those guys won't have jobs tomorrow morning....But those aren't the guys we are worried about, for the most part.

It's the last pre season game and the injury bug is biting hard everywhere. You think the Cowboys would drop 52 on the Raiders in a regular season game? I watched the game and the Raiders made us look like champions.
