Official Redskins/Falcons GAME THREAD

[PennSkinsFan]

Discuss the game HERE!

[PennSkinsFan]

Are we ready for some football?????????

[skinnay]

Didn't expect to see Franz so fast. What's up

[SkinsKY]

Let's do it boys!

[PennSkinsFan]

Seem to be struggling like every year, coverign TE and FB in the pass play

[PennSkinsFan]

Samuels needs to pick it up period. He has not been impressive so far in this young 2003 season.

[SkinsKY]

We need to run the ball more to slow down their blitzing. The more we throw, the more they pin their ears back in bring it. We haven't done anything to throw them off guard yet.

[PennSkinsFan]

Canidate islooking tough

[PennSkinsFan]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Coles is hurt!

[SkinsKY]

Think he just got his bell rung, should be okay...hopefully

[BigCountry]

Another sack. They should have ran ater that first down to Coles.

[PennSkinsFan]

Missed FG. Ummmmmm This game is not looking good at all

[Shabba]

Many of us knocked the Jets fans for the things they said about Hall's kickin. Well we just got a taste of what they were talking about. We better start listening.

[Shabba]

TD Falcons...what the hell

[PennSkinsFan]

Wow, they look like shit, the look like 2002.

[Shabba]

We are stinkin up the joint so far. The Dline and the Oline are aweful to say the least. We are running the ball pretty good but if we fall weay behind, that will have to change.

[Shabba]

That Falcons D is playing great right now.

[PennSkinsFan]

This offensive lien is playing worse than last year's. Everyone is coming from Samuels side. This is pathetic, absolutely pathetic display.

[hamptonskinsfan]

will somebody PLEASE block in this F#$king game, I mean come on

[Shabba]

TD Falcons

We are down 17-0 and looking like s**t. I am at a lost for words while looking at this. They are getting close to blowing us out of here.
Here again the O line is terrible and better get it together and quick.

[BigCountry]

So much for that game. I would take Ramsey out cause he's not gonna survive in there.

[PennSkinsFan]

Fact is, we lose this game, the offensive line is the total blame. Total BLAME!

[Shabba]

There need to be a lien put on this crap:p

[skinnay]

What's up with gardner? He's not showing very much this season.

[hamptonskinsfan]

WTF asnother fucking breakdfown

[PennSkinsFan]

Offensive line, period, this is the worse line i have seen in years. Flacons blitzes are AT WILL

[Gump84]

Why isn't the damn game on TV in Annapolis? So, Ramsey fumbled twice in a row huh? Being down 24-0 won't help our chances too much.......

[Shabba]

Why are they audibaling and giveing away the signals that Johnson knows like the back of his hand.

[skinnay]

Falcons missed the field goal btw.

[rskinsfan10]

Great catch Gardner

[skinnay]

now we're talkin, Lets go skins, TD Betts

[rskinsfan10]

Betts TD on a 13 yarder

[Skinsfan]

Spurrier finally runs the ball! Jeez, is it that difficult?

[PennSkinsFan]

Finally!

[hamptonskinsfan]

TD HTTR

[PennSkinsFan]

Isn't it odd what you can do when you protect your QB?

[hamptonskinsfan]

Ain't that the truth

[Skinsfan]

Now, some pressure from the front four would be nice...

[hamptonskinsfan]

now maybe if the d can stop them we can crawl back into this game. granted they have had their backs to the endzone cause of the o line, but they need to stop them here.

[rskinsfan10]

Understatement of the day so far pal.

[rskinsfan10]

LaVar is laying some shots on Dunn

[Skinsfan]

Yeah!!!

[rskinsfan10]

INT IFFY!!!

[PennSkinsFan]

WOOOOOHOOOOOOOO

The Tide is turning!

[Skinsfan]

Great Job D!

[rskinsfan10]

Smoot was beat badly on that play

[Skinsfan]

Wheres Betts? Get Canidate out of there...

[Shabba]

TD Skins

Now this is what we have been waiting for yall.

[Skinsfan]

Touchdown, Washington Redskins!

[rskinsfan10]

Oh yeah baby. Shut them dirty birds up for awhile.

[hamptonskinsfan]

did i call it or what whooohoooo. td we back in it

[PennSkinsFan]

Man, someone fired up this team. The offensive line did a fine job last possession,a nd now the Defense does its part!

[Shabba]

special teams killing us again

[rskinsfan10]

Need the D to step again

[rskinsfan10]

Awful

[Skinsfan]

Are you friggin kidding me? Tackle!

[rskinsfan10]

Do they work on tackling at Redskins Park?

[Shabba]

Dunn is just tip toeing his way through our defense

[rskinsfan10]

C'mon LaVar

[Skinsfan]

Great, another stupid penalty. Are they done with the JV stuff yet?

[Shabba]

unreal gang

[rskinsfan10]

Can we answer?

[BigCountry]

TD Falcons. So much for that....

[Skinsfan]

Gotta put points back up on the board now

[rskinsfan10]

I don't like those blank expressions from the offense on the sidelines. Someone needs to hype the group up.

[Skinsfan]

Great...special teams are so important, too...

[rskinsfan10]

Dumb ass decision Morton

[Shabba]

Chad knew better than that

[rskinsfan10]

COLESSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!

[rskinsfan10]

Do we have an o-line?

[Shabba]

They are killing Pat

[Skinsfan]

Don't get away from the run, now

[rskinsfan10]

yes they are

[Skinsfan]

Gotta come up with that ball. That's two drops for Gardener

[rskinsfan10]

those under pressure stats are enough for an entire game, let alone the 1st half

[Skinsfan]

Here's an idea...running the ball keeps the pass rush off of a QB

[hamptonskinsfan]

again i ask where is the olinE?

[Skinsfan]

so...many...presnap...penalties...getting...angry. ..

[rskinsfan10]

Maybe we are looking at these penalties incorrectly. Maybe the team with the most at the end of the year gets some type of tie-breaker edge.

[rskinsfan10]

Good coverage Trotter

[skinnay]

Johnson has all day to throw

[rskinsfan10]

Great stand D

[Skinsfan]

Thank you, Doug Johnson, for your erratic throwing

[PennSkinsFan]

Excellent pass defense.

[BigCountry]

Just like the New Orleans game.

[rskinsfan10]

Screens help neutralize the blitz also

[Skinsfan]

Hey, nice job so far...

[Skinsfan]

Great pickup on that blitz!

[rskinsfan10]

Sense of urgency seems to help this team to a degree

[Skinsfan]

nuts...

[rskinsfan10]

Damn McCants. Good try though

[rskinsfan10]

What was that?

[PennSkinsFan]

Horrible protection

[rskinsfan10]

C'mon Ramsey. You gotta throw that away man.

[rskinsfan10]

Yeah Hall!!!!!!

[PennSkinsFan]

Wow! 54 Yarder, we are not used to that in DC!

[Shabba]

John Hall is sooooo unpredictable

[rskinsfan10]

The O-line should be ashamed of themselves

[PennSkinsFan]

Yes they should

In other regards though, 54 yarder! We just are not used to makign these long Fgs.

[hamptonskinsfan]

wow 54 yarder

[Skinsfan]

Getting the ball back in the 2nd half, not too bad at all. The O-line needs a slap in the face, but maybe it'll motivate them.

[hamptonskinsfan]

maybe someone in the locker room will give the ENTIRE Oline a swift kick in the ass. 5 Sacks in one half is inexcusable. simply no call at all for that sheat. Now that we are only down by one td maybe start to RUN the ball a little bit?????

[BigCountry]

That was an eventfull first half.

[rskinsfan10]

Originally posted by BigCountry

Sorry Mark. I gave you props for the understatement of the day award earlier. Now Uri gets it with that one there.

[Skins57]

I told work I was sick so I left at noon today... Hehehe I was sick, sick of working...hehehhehe

This game has been fun,e ven though I am worried about Ram, they had better pick up the rush and keep him in the game

[GolfFreak]

Just logged on at half time ... O-Line blows!!! I sure hope they turn it around or this was a hugh waste of money. 5 sacks in 1 half!!!

Glad Coles got back in the game - 80 some yards already.

I'm hopeful we'll turn it around in the 2nd half, but Ramsey needs some freeking protection.

[hamptonskinsfan]

The FOX crew just gave props to our D. Hmmmmm interesting did say that we have no chance if Rob Johnson comes in though.

[mtownskinsfan]

I'm still tying to figure out why the skins brought Morton in. Have yet to see him do anything great. O-line is very bad today. Coles is the man-no doubt about it.

[rskinsfan10]

Still trying to figure out why we run slam into our own player's backs in kickoffs

[BigCountry]

12/24, 170. What did he do wrong?

[rskinsfan10]

I'm about to order my authentic Coles jersey.

[rskinsfan10]

He's down again.

[rskinsfan10]

Stupid

[BigCountry]

If he leaves you can really kiss this game goodbye. What's wrong with him now?

[rskinsfan10]

Keep running the damn ball

[rskinsfan10]

Originally posted by BigCountry

Neck again

[Skinsfan]

damn straight...run to victory!

[BigCountry]

Did he leave on his own power?

[rskinsfan10]

CCCCOOOOOLLLLLLEEEEEESSSSSSS

[rskinsfan10]

Originally posted by BigCountry

He's back, and making plays.

[BigCountry]

Great pass from Ramsey to the parenthesies (what it said on the NFL.com game cast)

[Skinsfan]

Yes! Touchdown, Washington Redskins!

[rskinsfan10]

TD Gardner

[Skinsfan]

Back to square one...now's the time to shut down the Falcons

[hamptonskinsfan]

new game boys and gals

[WRSK1NS]

Like how they are battling back, that shows a lot of character!

[BigCountry]

Let's hope they don't return it for a TD now.

[PennSkinsFan]

Dude, last year down 17-0, this team woudl have folded. The fight is clear and evident!

[rskinsfan10]

Thats what I'm talking about special teams!!!

[PennSkinsFan]

Better yet, noone has mentioned Patrick Ramsey. Look at the kids fight and poise. After being killed throu8ghout the first half, fumbling twice, he still hangs in and makes good plays. He is going to learn and as he does, he is gonna be damn good.

[WRSK1NS]

Time for Big Time Defensive stop!

[rskinsfan10]

I think we take his toughness for granted

[Skinsfan]

c'mon, three and out!

You said it after taking a beating he has hung in there and done a great job.

[SkinsKY]

I just want to apologize. I forgot to put on my Bailey jersey until late in the game, so you can blame me. I didn't do my part and I let the team down. Glad we're showing some heart to make this a game again.

[WRSK1NS]

Champ step for step with Price!

[Skinsfan]

Whoooo, sack!

[rskinsfan10]

Sack Peppi!!!

[PennSkinsFan]

Anyone interested in seeign Patrick Johnson return Punts. This has never been a Morton strong suit?

[BigCountry]

If I'm Spurrier I'm pounding Betts in there but knowing him, he goes for the throat.

[Shabba]

Morton is haveing an aweful day. He just ran right into the tackler.

[Skinsfan]

What...taunting? C'mon, you gotta be kidding me. Stupid penalties again?

[rskinsfan10]

Taunting is such a lame ass penalty

[Shabba]

Originally posted by rskinsfan10

why do you say that. he should have known better than to do that s**t.

[rskinsfan10]

Should have ran a sweep there

[rskinsfan10]

Originally posted by Shabba

If they penalized "taunting" every time it happened then there would be penalty flags after each play. That's why I say that.

[PennSkinsFan]

I am surprised Spurrier did not throw.

[Shabba]

That penalty on Gardner crushed the drive. We had a first down. We have to play smarter than that.

[WRSK1NS]

Barker is doing his job.

[Skinsfan]

Absolutely. They've been abusing the tackles all game, why stop now?

[rskinsfan10]

Originally posted by Shabba

No it didn't. It was still 1st down. It just backed us up from the spot of the foul.

[PennSkinsFan]

Finally

Now we need the defense to step up again. As hot as Ramsey's arm is right now, I woudl have liked to have seen the old Spurrier back and throw on 3rd and 2

[rskinsfan10]

Where is the pass interference on Price?

[Skinsfan]

Great job D

[rskinsfan10]

Great stand D

[Shabba]

good defensive stand

[PennSkinsFan]

The defensive has played well this whole game. Take away that first possession.

[SkinsKY]

Glad to see our D has plugged the holes...good job D. Let's get a good drive here.

[WRSK1NS]

Did you see Lavar drive his blocker back in front of the kicker on that punt?!

[Skinsfan]

Let's take another shot downfield now

[Shabba]

Our coverage team need a lot of work.

[SkinsKY]

how many "almost picks" are we gonna have before we get another. Soooo close.

[BigCountry]

Giants would have killed us by now. We gotta stop shooting ourselves in the foot. (Just an observation)

[Skinsfan]

went to the well one to many times...

[rskinsfan10]

Our RB's are afwul at blocking

[Skinsfan]

Way to go backwards Rod...

[PennSkinsFan]

Man, Barker is having a helluva game!

[rskinsfan10]

Barker is the man today. Good job by Johnson also.

[Skinsfan]

Wow, Barker's on fire...

[rskinsfan10]

Originally posted by Skinsfan

Really...

[rskinsfan10]

Get the ball back D

[SkinsKY]

nice punt Barker, he's earning his pay this week.

[Skinsfan]

Saftey baby!

[BigCountry]

Our D is gonna get tired and we're not taking advantege of the fact that theirs is.

[rskinsfan10]

Safety baby!!!!!

[WRSK1NS]

SAFETY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[PennSkinsFan]

Ummm, Atlanta....thats called

















































EFFIN DEFENSE!

[Skinsfan]

Let's get one in the endzone now and start to put this one away

[SkinsKY]

Hells yes

[rskinsfan10]

HE CALLED A EFFING FAIR CATCH?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[PennSkinsFan]

Should not have fair caught that, he had plenty of room.

[SkinsKY]

what a dummy...let's go Offense

[rskinsfan10]

Coles looks to be limping slightly.

[Skinsfan]

I think he was more concerned with the hangtime of that kick; Johnson probably wasn't looking downfield

[BigCountry]

Get the ice tub ready for after the game, rub some dirt on it and get back in there.

[Skinsfan]

Yes Coles! Let's go O!

[rskinsfan10]

COOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLES!!!!!!!!

[Skinsfan]

Touchdown, Washington Redskins!

[rskinsfan10]

TD Coles!!!!!!!

[rskinsfan10]

180 yds for Coles. Get 200 baby!!!!

[Skinsfan]

Man, everything's comin up Burgundy and Gold! Put this one away, defense!

[PennSkinsFan]

11 catches over 180 yards and a TD

I woudl say him and Ram will be just fine.

[WRSK1NS]

I am very impressed with this team! What a show they are putting on!

[WRSK1NS]

There needs to be a truckload of game balls for this week.

[BigCountry]

Come on special teams...

[SkinsKY]

They will be on Sportscenter quite a bit tonight. Let's hope we can play like we are now for 60min against NYG.

[Skinsfan]

Here we go, big third down stop now...

[rskinsfan10]

Hold em D

[Skinsfan]

Yes! Punt, and lets get some more points!

[PennSkinsFan]

Man, what a turn around. This defense is just intimidating the crap out of DJ.

[PennSkinsFan]

WTF is up with all the fair catches!

[Skinsfan]

Can't let up now, there's still 11 minutes to play, and the Skins are only up by 9. Don't act like it's a blowout, make it one first.

[rskinsfan10]

Originally posted by PennSkinsFan

I'm wondering the same thing. Too much money being paid for that crap.

[PennSkinsFan]

Thought you would all be happy to know that Mr. Coles has got me 24 FF points this far.

[WRSK1NS]

Time for a healthy dose of Canidate and Betts

[rskinsfan10]

Agreed

[Chief Seeway]

Excuse my language but, God Damn I wish I could watch this game!!!!!

Looks extremely exciting...

How many 20+ yd pass plays does Ramsey have????

I'm trying to follow the game on nfl.com but that sucks

[SkinsKY]

Yes, I want to see some running right now. Not opposed to passing, but the goal here is to move chains.

[rskinsfan10]

Jamal Lewis broke that record!!!!

[rskinsfan10]

I thought he must have been doing drugs again

[Skinsfan]

Ah, Damn it...another penalty to negate a great play

[SkinsKY]

why can't we run the first two plays and then think about passing.

[rskinsfan10]

Give Terrell props for that effort

[SkinzHailerCowgirlsHater]

safety again BIG D!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[SkinsKY]

come on D. If we keep going thre and out, our D's gonna get tired and their gonna score. Run thae ball. Take 44 seconds between plays and let's run the clock out next time. I want to see Lavar kill someone and Champ to get a pick.

[Skinsfan]

Man, what does Smoot have to do to hold on to a ball?

[Skinsfan]

Arrington! Showing why he's the best player on this defense.

[rskinsfan10]

Hell yeah LaVar

[rskinsfan10]

The D is on point today

[Chief Seeway]

ummm what did he do? lol

[PennSkinsFan]

Another friggin FC!

What the hell!

[Skinsfan]

OK, there was absolutely no reason for that fair catch...what's going on here?

[rskinsfan10]

Another fair catch? Is Morton scared?

[PennSkinsFan]

This Defense is impressive. Seems each week they start the first possession or two very slowly, but man, then they bring the wrath!

[SkinsKY]

I wish someone would go balls-to-the-wall and run it back. Don't be scared.

[Skinsfan]

Originally posted by seeway

Stong side blitz by Lavar, Johnson turned his way and tried to dump the ball off. Lavar jumped up and batted the ball down, Zellner almost intercepted it.

[SkinsKY]

Now let's run some clock out.

[Shabba]

Peppi Zellner's name has been called a lot in this game. He has been around the ball a whole lot.
Nice game.

[WRSK1NS]

Originally posted by seeway

Lavar leaped about 12 feet in the air and knocked a pass down! He is the man!

[rskinsfan10]

Agreed

[Chief Seeway]

thanks skinsfan and wrskins

[Skinsfan]

I'm not liking this; gotta get at least one first down

[rskinsfan10]

We needed a 1st down there

[rskinsfan10]

That was a dangerous play there

[PennSkinsFan]

All right Steve, little too conservative

[SkinsKY]

yes, we give them good field position without getting the first.

[BigCountry]

Way to get them back in the game.

[Skinsfan]

Please no prevent defense

[rskinsfan10]

Not feeling good about this right now.

[rskinsfan10]

Oh LaVar missed the sack

[Skinsfan]

Man, LaVar, he was unblocked! Just make the play, don't panic.

[SkinsKY]

let's clamp down D.

[Skinsfan]

Yeah, INT Bowen!

[rskinsfan10]

Bowen big time INT!!!!

[Chief Seeway]

sweet!

[SkinsKY]

w00t! I haven't heard it yet, but I can't wait to hear it!

[Skinsfan]

Wow, great catch too. He laid out.

[PennSkinsFan]

Excllent. Not stop the conservative bullcrap. Lets move the ball and get at least a FG! I wanna go to the Tailgate 2-0 Dammit!

[rskinsfan10]

We need to get at least one 1st down here

[PennSkinsFan]

Nice stats for Ramsey.

One question for the medai that iasked last week, in regards to Ramsey, ummm, any questions?
