[CarMike]

Please keep all game discussion in this tread.

[JasonCampbell]

I can't remember being so confident that we were going to win a game as I am today...that scares me.

[PyroGenic]

I can't remember being so confident that we were going to win a game as I am today...that scares me.

Me too. Who would think that confidence could inspire fear instead of something more positive. Stop the media love! lol

[WackyJacky]

[JasonCampbell]

All white uniforms today again.

[FanFromArizona]

I remember feeling like this when we last played the 49ers at home a few years ago.

This is the week to bring the beatdown stick, and you KNOW WHAT?
IT"S ABOUT TIME!

reminds me of times of old.

[InsomniaKiller]

I always get nervous about any game, but after watching the NFL Network give a nice breakdown of the Rams defense, I'm reminded of *just* how bad this team is.

I feel good about this one.

Four quarters of good football today can say a lot about this team.

[dwwest]

All white uniforms today again.

I hate the whites...

(Unis, that is)

[shally]

Not gonna get the game on TV today, so I'll be counting on you all to provide details.

HAIL!


no problem.. will do..

[shally]

rumor is that if haslett can get them 6 wins, he will keep the job... wont happen against the redskins

[GeneralDisorder]

Gutted to be missing this one - I had hoped to fly out for this game and make next week's Tailgate before flying back to the UK.

Unless the Skins go deep in the playoffs this season, it's not gonna happen this season...

:(

[ElectricRedskin]

i am hoping for a blowout and convinced we will win but i fear that campbell will lose his non-interception streak. just a feeling.

[JasonCampbell]

I hate the whites...

(Unis, that is)

great first post :)

[shally]

terry bradshaw ranting about the failure to take care of the older guys..

he is right.. what a disgrace


now back to the skins..lol

[ElectricRedskin]

white unis are too key

[shally]

I hate the whites...

(Unis, that is)

welcome.. you will love it here..

[dwwest]

great first post :)

Yeah, I had to go back and read that one. I've been a long time lurker, but I figured I'd post a bit during the game today.

Moose and the Goose are doing the game... Darryl Johnston is the only Cowboy I can tolerate...

[shally]

fletcher looks fired up...

[dwwest]

terry bradshaw ranting about the failure to take care of the older guys..

he is right.. what a disgrace


now back to the skins..lol

I liked his point... 1% really isn't that much.

[VegasSkinsFan]

I'm surprised both jackson and james are inactive...maybe JT is healthier than i thought. GO SKINS !!!!!!

[shally]

I liked his point... 1% really isn't that much.

not only that, the younger guys are pretty well covered.. the number of older guys is, regrettably, dropping every year.. so the money needed will drop over the years

[shally]

I'm surprised both jackson and james are inactive...maybe JT is healthier than i thought. GO SKINS !!!!!!

i thought that as well.. also wilson might be coming on, and d evans is playing well

[GeneralDisorder]

Jaysus - guess what game we've been saddled with over here...?

Oakland at New Orleans.

Somebody, somewhere needs their arse kicked...

[shally]

looks like a nice day.. 74 degrees and sunny

[ElectricRedskin]

I'm surprised both jackson and james are inactive...maybe JT is healthier than i thought. GO SKINS !!!!!!

i heard that his functionality is at like 95% they are just being careful because the actual incision isnt completely healed

[shally]

skins receiving

rock to the 28

[dwwest]

Looks like a pretty day in DC.

I miss living in Virginia.... I've been in Kansas City for three years now, and the Skins have only been here once.

[shally]

[dwwest]

If CP is #2, whos the leading rusher in the NFL now?

[shally]

moss for about 6

third and short

portis stopped but penalty 12 rams on defense

first down

[CamLwalk]

Rams try the old 4-4-4 defense

[Biggie]

If he had led Moss we would've had the first down before.

12 men!

[FanFromArizona]

clinton stuffed, but rams penalty

12 men on the field....

[FanFromArizona]

Nice punt for Brooks!

[FanFromArizona]

here we go with Moss bumblings....ARGH

wide open, had BIG PLAY written all over it.


Our sixth rounder coming through! 51 yarder, downed at the 3!

[shally]

the way the ram corners are playing, JC could have 300 yards passing today, if the receivers hold onto the ball

[VegasSkinsFan]

fox in vegas is showing atl/chi but i found the skins on at justin.tv it is on the cowboy tv channel nice 51 yd punt GO SKINS !!!!!!!

[shally]

here we go with Moss bumblings....ARGH

wide open, had BIG PLAY written all over it.


Our sixth rounder coming through! 51 yarder, downed at the 3!

that play should be open all day. craft is terrible

[FanFromArizona]

Ladies and Gents..meet your MVP #26 Clinton Portis GO SKINS !!!!

[dwwest]

Moose: "Even if..."

Idiot much?

[tbfoster1]

what a bull rush by portis. awesome!!!

[NCskinsfanatic]

Place foot directly to throat and apply pressure...gotta go for the kill!

[shally]

portis' leg drive is unreal this year.. he carried the defense in from the 2

very impressive

[JasonCampbell]

who forced the fumble? It looked like Washington got his arm in there.

[shally]

Place foot directly to throat and apply pressure...gotta go for the kill!

rams have been behind by an average of 14 points in every first quarter this year... you can see why...

[VegasSkinsFan]

portis' leg drive is unreal this year.. he carried the defense in from the 2

very impressive

Maybe worked out with PD on the powerlifting program.

[shally]

short kick off.. rams at 30

[NCskinsfanatic]

rams have been behind by an average of 14 points in every first quarter this year... you can see why...

I want no question, no nail biting, etc.

[shally]

jackson for 2

who made that tackle in pursuit ??

[shally]

smoot playing for springs

3rd down coming

[NCskinsfanatic]

jackson for 2

who made that tackle in pursuit ??

This Ram team still ahs weapons we have to want it more...

[tbfoster1]

the crowd is loud

[Biggie]

THAT WAS A PICK!!! :(

[shally]

landry dropped int !!!

great read, terrible hands...

ARE to the 22

[VegasSkinsFan]

LL needs to stop hanging out with CR.

[NCskinsfanatic]

LL almost had a pick too lol. Mr Glass not starting doesnt suprise me, can we just let the guy go finish his career with dallass already and get a full time CB to replace him?

[JasonCampbell]

[insert generic ARE is horrible at punt returns statement here]

[tbfoster1]

landry dropped int !!!

great read, terrible hands...

ARE to the 22

I wish he would have caught it but Holt or whoever it was made a good play...or a lucky play. He had it but it got knocked out

[shally]

LL needs to stop hanging out with CR.

ball hit him in the chest.. it was a great read by him.. he ran the route better than the wideout...

[shally]

deep sideline route.. thrash cant bring it in...

[Biggie]

deep sideline route.. thrash cant bring it in...
Two Rams collided, one of them is hurt.

[VegasSkinsFan]

If the rams stay in m2m we should be able to pick them apart. GO SKINS !!

[shally]

time out

barthell, starting corner hurt.. looks like a wrist injury.. rams are really thin on the corner

[ElectricRedskin]

if their secondary is so bad why dont we go deep

[shally]

portis for 3 or 4

third down coming

[VegasSkinsFan]

Playaction with moss on 1 side, dt on the other..both put on a double move, they will have a tough time stopping that.

[Biggie]

That was a weird punt.

[shally]

delay blitz.. JC sacked

blindside hit

punt coming

brooks has learned the frosty roll

rams at their 40

[JasonCampbell]

JC fumbles that ball last year.

[Chief Seeway]

Offense looks like crap so far...

I think only first down was a result of penalty...

[shally]

Playaction with moss on 1 side, dt on the other..both put on a double move, they will have a tough time stopping that.

that play took a very long time to develop.. might not be that great an idea because the rams will blitz it a lot

[shally]

JC fumbles that ball last year.


absolutely true

[tbfoster1]

Offense looks like crap so far...

I think only first down was a result of penalty...

yeah they need to get it going

[VegasSkinsFan]

that play took a very long time to develop.. might not be that great an idea because the rams will blitz it a lot

Should have added that the oline/rb needs to give jc time:smash:

[NCskinsfanatic]

Offense doesnt look sharp, Brooks is punting like Frost with the rolls lol and we cant sleep on this team, if we dont put em away early we're just asking to have to eek out a win against an inferior team.

[Biggie]

That went well.

[shally]

end around fools NO ONE

[tbfoster1]

horton is all over the place

[ElectricRedskin]

way to go smoot

[shally]

avery for 17 yards.. gets up limping

[Chief Seeway]

Bulger is going to be aitring it out today...

[dwwest]

horton is all over the place

Keep saying his name... Steal of the draft.

[NCskinsfanatic]

That is exactly why we have to get it going, without pressure he can beat us

[shally]

little pressure on him

jackson for 3

pressure on bulger.. incomplete

3rd down coming

holding on the rams

[Biggie]

I've seen two blatant holds on AC already.

[shally]

bulger for 10 under pressure

third coming

rogers playing well on holt

[NCskinsfanatic]

No pressure, big cushions= Rams staying in ball game

[shally]

holt for first down

rams onthe skins 38

cmon defense

[Chief Seeway]

Our pass rush is still missing I see.

I think we'll shut down the run... Bulger will be gunning it... should set up for interceptions... should we do have hands of stone back there

[VegasSkinsFan]

We need more push from the DT's so the qb cant step up. AC almost had him on that one pass. GO SKINS !!!

[shally]

rams time out..

skins look flat on offense, and the defense missed that second opportunity for a take away

got to stop them now and not let bulger get in rhythm

[tbfoster1]

Defense needs to tighten up here.

[NCskinsfanatic]

They should be 3 and out no better than they are, we have to get pressure and play physical all 3 downs! They score here and all of a sudden they'll have confidence and their O will have marched it more than 5 yards to score...

[shally]

We need more push from the DT's so the qb cant step up. AC almost had him on that one pass. GO SKINS !!!

agree.. got to make bulger uncomfortable

avery for a couple

[shally]

jackson for about 4

third down coming

[ElectricRedskin]

doink

[Biggie]

Doink...

[shally]

tremendous rush

bad throw by bulger

FG try

51 yarder bounces over.. he is a great kicker.. lots of leg

7-3

[ElectricRedskin]

our O needs to get going they have looked sluggish

[tbfoster1]

we need to score on offense. Its time for the Rams D to get that arse ate up

[VegasSkinsFan]

That slant play is gonna bite us if we arent careful....maybe RM can disguise and slide into that area

[NCskinsfanatic]

Lucky bounce but they're in this game, if our O ever shows up then maybe we can keep it from becoming a nail biter.

[shally]

offense needs to step it up

rock to the 20..

[NCskinsfanatic]

Take a knee Rock...

[shally]

great read and safety valve to portis.. 12 yards

[Biggie]

THERE WE GO!

[shally]

moss for 17

didnt even see the defender

[RoanokeSkin]

Two good throws ... keep it up.

[shally]

portis right for 5

[NCskinsfanatic]

Keep it going...we need 7!

[VegasSkinsFan]

moss was wide open...nice drive going...put it in for 7

[shally]

JC avoids rush and finds cooley for 4

third and 1

[RoanokeSkin]

Nice job by Betts.

[shally]

betts runs left for 2 yards and first down

[VegasSkinsFan]

Cooly was blanketed, nice catch and drag

[RoanokeSkin]

Dont know what Cooley was thinking there... trying to switch hands... bad move.

[shally]

drat !! cooley fumbles after a first down...

first turnover

[VegasSkinsFan]

Seems like the oline takes a minute to warm up.

[ElectricRedskin]

wow cooley

[Biggie]

Cooley...

[shally]

jackson no where up the middle

take the ball away from the rams

[FanFromArizona]

we need our own turnover now. this is too close for me.

[RoanokeSkin]

Need a 3 and out here after that turnover. Cant let them hurt us.

[JasonCampbell]

Same old team playing down to an inferior opponent :(

[shally]

draw for about 7

third and short coming

end of 1st quarter

letting the rams hang around

[NCskinsfanatic]

This team can beat us especially if we keep helping them...

[shally]

This team can beat us especially if we keep helping them...

agree.. the offense looks a little out of sync, although that drive was going well until cooley fumbled

gotta to stop them right here

jackson for 15

[Biggie]

This is why you don't give 0-5 teams momentum.

[NCskinsfanatic]

They arent gonna lay downa nd die, we dont seem to want it bad enough.

[shally]

jackson up middle for 6 wiped out by holding

[shally]

lots of movement

AS is using all the playbook.. but he did get a great matchup on the third down

[shally]

3rd and long coming

[shally]

dropped

punt coming

the rams are dysfunctional but the skins cannot let them remain in the game

[Biggie]

Hell of a punt.

[JasonCampbell]

Hell of a punt.

I hear that. 54 yards and 10 yards out of the endzone. BOOMED

[shally]

touchback

skins at their 20

agree with goose that the offense needs to take some shots down the field, but there has been pressure on JC and he has had to come off his first reads a few times

defense is doing it's part

[shally]

skins drive

first down.. betts through big hole for 12.. up the middle

[VegasSkinsFan]

Nice run by betts.

[shally]

screen looked terrible.. inc

[shally]

ARE for 17

JC handling pressure well.. nice throw

[VegasSkinsFan]

Yeah real ugly screen nice pass to ARE is portis hurt or just a breather

[shally]

betts went no where.. had a little trouble handling the toss

[shally]

inc

3rd and 12 coming

[Chief Seeway]

go for it!!!

[shally]

betts with great effort.. almost a first down

4th and very short

[Chief Seeway]

time out... looks like they'll go for it

[VegasSkinsFan]

Is portis hurt, or just taking a breather?

[tbfoster1]

we need this first down. If we get it, I can see things swinging in our favor very quickly

[shally]

time out


gotta go for it..qb sneak ? need only a couple of inches, no long developing plays, please

[NCskinsfanatic]

Im not impressed with our offensive effort thus far at all...one Ram TD and we're losing that's pretty sorry.

[shally]

Is portis hurt, or just taking a breather?

part of the plan to give betts touches... i dont think portis is hurt

[Chief Seeway]

Skins are looking a little flat, the broadcast team sure wants a resurgence from the Rams...

[Biggie]

Awful spot.

[NCskinsfanatic]

bad spot, just pathetic

[FanFromArizona]

Wow, first down by the nose of the football.

[shally]

portis got poor spot, but still got first down

[Chief Seeway]

good spot...

[shally]

portis left for a bout 3

drop by ARE.. what else is new ??

[NCskinsfanatic]

maybe o0ur rookies can catch, someone damn sure needs to...

[IllinoiSkinFan]

Skins are looking good today. Lets hope they don't let up!

[Biggie]

W.

T.

F.

[Chief Seeway]

wow...

low snap, fumble, Rams recover...

Team does not look good, they are flat

[shally]

3rd and 6...

bad snap.. rams recover..JC needed to fall on it

second skins TO

that is how we can lose this game

[JasonCampbell]

Casey Rabach is doing more harm than good at this point for the team. HORRIBLE snap.

[VegasSkinsFan]

Playing mentally sloppy...we drop too many passes.

[RoanokeSkin]

This reminds me of the Giants game... not the last 4 we played. We look terrible on offense. No flow at all.

[NCskinsfanatic]

This team is pathetic today, I bet we let em score 7 and trail 10-7 at the half...just poor focus and execution against an inferior team, 2 turnovers after none in 5 games.

[shally]

defense needs to step up again and re assert themselves

[Chief Seeway]

Skins are looking good today. Lets hope they don't let up!

The Redskins? Something must be wrong with my TV... offense does not look good.

[IllinoiSkinFan]

Two Fumbels already! :devil2:

[shally]

This team is pathetic today, I bet we let em score 7 and trail 10-7 at the half...just poor focus and execution against an inferior team, 2 turnovers after none in 5 games.

defense has been okay.. it is the offense

smoot on jackson for 4

[Biggie]

We need to get the offense back on track.

[Chief Seeway]

We need a INT!!!

[FanFromArizona]

man this is ugly. we need to get something going.

[IllinoiSkinFan]

The Redskins? Something must be wrong with my TV... offense does not look good.

No Skins broadcast today. I am watching via "GameCenter" :cry:

[shally]

jackson for about 3

rams using a lot of fake motion-reverse

third..huge hit on pass,, incomplete landry ? with huge hit

[Biggie]

That's a football move. It's a fumble. You're supposed to let the play happen and review after, aren't you?

[NCskinsfanatic]

defense has been okay.. it is the offense

smoot on jackson for 4

We're lucky the D is playing well, the Rams have weapons and we're letting them stay cclose that will hurt us if the O stays this incompetent.

[VegasSkinsFan]

Who made the hit on that 3rd dwon play...couldnt see.

[InsomniaKiller]

That's a football move. It's a fumble. You're supposed to let the play happen and review after, aren't you?

What's pathetic is you don't even have to make a "football" move, since that language was kind of vague. They changed the rule in the offseason. Now you just get your feet down and have possession and it's a catch.

Stupid call. As is par for the course this year.

[Chief Seeway]

You know this could be a result of Zorn's quest to remain "medium". If an effort is made during the week to hold back the momentum we're in trouble against mediocre teams

[NCskinsfanatic]

That's a football move. It's a fumble. You're supposed to let the play happen and review after, aren't you?

Not in a Redskins game...

[shally]

punt to 13

skins back on offense.. but offense needs a big play and to stop sputtering

we are making drive killing bungles.. that works against a methodical offense. today we are having trouble sustaining things.. get a quick strike to moss

[VegasSkinsFan]

No Skins broadcast today. I am watching via "GameCenter" :cry:

Go to justin.tv it is on the cowboys channel

[RoanokeSkin]

Who made the hit on that 3rd dwon play...couldnt see.

Landry

[Redskinfan28]

Back to reality today. But the D is playing well. If we can squeak out a win today, I'll be happy.

[NCskinsfanatic]

You know this could be a result of Zorn's quest to remain "medium". If an effort is made during the week to hold back the momentum we're in trouble against mediocre teams

well the O aint even playin medium imo, so they need to dial it up a notch.

[Chief Seeway]

No Skins broadcast today. I am watching via "GameCenter" :cry:

Oh, I know your pain... this is only my third game (watching on TV) this year.

[Biggie]

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! FIVE YARDS!

[shally]

You know this could be a result of Zorn's quest to remain "medium". If an effort is made during the week to hold back the momentum we're in trouble against mediocre teams

i thought about that.. still, he needs to take some shots with scoring plays.
this looks like gibbs..lol

ARE with deep effort.. holding on defense.. should have been PI

[shally]

portis for about 2

get the ball downfield

[shally]

moss cant bring it in

3rd and long coming

[NCskinsfanatic]

2 drops by Moss now, 1 by ARE and a fumble by Cooley...and a fumbled snap by JC...thanks O!

[Biggie]

Campbell = clutch.

[RoanokeSkin]

Campbell is making great decisions on when to scramble.

[Chief Seeway]

Nice scramble from JC... could be a nice spark

[shally]

JC beats blitz and runs for 16

great effort and awareness

[tbfoster1]

great run by campbell. It saved me from getting really pissed off

[NCskinsfanatic]

great run by campbell. It saved me from getting really pissed off

just wait for the next WR drop...

[IllinoiSkinFan]

I retract my original statement.
D is looking alright.
O is terrible! Where is the tam from last week?

[shally]

portis left for 3

second coming... betts for about 3

3rd coming

[tbfoster1]

jeez, why is it we run all over #1 run defenses but can do crap against bad ones

[Chief Seeway]

I'd like to see more passing... dink and dunk stuff...Cooley up the seam...

[Santheb]

Since when was the Rams rush defense good?

[RoanokeSkin]

Another bonehead penalty. Cant believe how bad we are playing on offense...

[NCskinsfanatic]

another "play" by Cooley, no focus on O, now 3rd and long

[RoanokeSkin]

Another punt... just awful

[Biggie]

JC had to dodge half the Rams' roster to make that throw.

[IllinoiSkinFan]

LOL Campbell currently has more rushing yards then Betts.

[Chief Seeway]

blitz pressure on JC...

His awareness is impressive for sure... finds Betts... two yards short punt coming

[shally]

false start yoder ? cooley ??\

darn out of sync again

3rd and long... betts on pass for 7.. punt coming

nice job by JC...another ram corner (manning) hurt

[NCskinsfanatic]

Im pretty disgusted with this Offense, I hope Zorn riops em a knew one at the half...

[IllinoiSkinFan]

Okay, Cooley is not having a good game at all. He better make up for it.

[Chief Seeway]

Booed for a punt inside the 20????

[RoanokeSkin]

Brooks sucks... I dont know how you forget how to kick a football... but he clearly has.

[shally]

another terrible punt by brooks.. looked like he wanted to pooch it and miss hit it

defense on again..

[VegasSkinsFan]

Crappy punt....is there that much of a change from punting in college than pro?

[NCskinsfanatic]

Crowd booing Brooks, his punts are the only thing thats looked worse than the O

[shally]

marcus fired up.. jackson stopped for about 3

[GreenspanDan]

you can't boo a punt that is downed inside the 20.
