have to win next week dammit

Re: Redskins vs. Jets game thread
 

have to let JC play and take the training wheels off here

Re: Redskins vs. Jets game thread
 

If you guys recall...our running game really didn't do damage until we opened the 2nd half passing....I believe that was the key to the win....
This game ball belongs to offensive line and offensive coaching adjustments in 2nd half.

Throwing to the WR pulled the safteys and coreners out of the box....
That is why we won

Re: Redskins vs. Jets game thread
 

The good:

Even if the running game never does this again, at least we know that we won a game because of it.

The Redskins called a pretty good game, I thought.

The Bad:

The 2006 defense is back ladies and gents. It's probably here to stay.

Suisham can't kickoff. At all.

Vernon Fox is the worst right end in punt history.

Re: Redskins vs. Jets game thread
 

[quote=skinsguy;373563]Exactly! Eliminate penalties, play better on special teams, and continue feeding Clinton Portis and Ladell Betts the ball and this game wouldn't have been as close.[/quote]


Penalties always is a killer. Thing is why do the Skins always seem to shoot themselves in the foot. This has been a problem since Norv and transcends the differnent coaching staffs. Just weird. I mean all teams get penalites, but we seem to do it at very unopportune times that can cost us a game.

We're 5-3 which = a pretty decent team.

Happy to be 5-3, we've got to get MUCH better over the next 4 weeks for December to matter.. If we play like we did today, the Eagles, Cowboys and Giants are going to blow our doors off..

Re: Redskins vs. Jets game thread
 

Can someone tell me what this whole onside kick deal is?

I wasnt here for it.

Re: Redskins vs. Jets game thread
 

Down 17 points and coming back to win showed a lot of heart. We need to see this the rest of the way out though. Every team we play, including Buffalo can't be taken lightly at all. Tampa Bay also will be a tough game being it is at Tampa. Minnesota also isn't going to be an easy game. On top of that we got the bulk of our intra divisional matchups. No more injuries and open the damn offense up and it could be a lot of fun to watch. Let's hope Gibbs lets it happen.

Yep, happy for the win. Remember its the jets we played though. Your not going to run 75% of the time (just guessing) against the eagles.

Maybe it's time to start handing out bans? I was not thrilled being on this site when we were making that come back and when we were tied. There were several that said "game over" and didn't even give us a chance. What the hell happened to the fans around here? It's very disturbing to be on a REDSKINS website and have to deal with people that ALWAYS think the Skins will lose. Shit, I can get that from my Cowboys friends, I don't need that here!

All I know is I sure couldn't stand watching a game live with some of these people. The constant bitching keeps me away for most of the game here. I just can't handle the complaining after every single freaking play. Every negative play and the sky is falling.

Yep! And Lord forbid if you try to say something good about the team, you're labeled a homer and accused of "drinking the kool-aid."

I'd love for some of these people to just go back and review their posts. I believe they'd understand where we are coming from.

There is a HUGE difference with frustration in saying things like "why the 8 straight runs?" and saying "game over" when they win the freakin coin toss.
It is all too common that people are only here to be negative, and you know what...we REAL fans are damn sick of it. Either be a FAN, or get the hell off this site. I'm tired of people being negative every damn week regardless of the situation.

I absolutely agree with you. I had to leave the site for a while cause people were pissing me off with all the negativity.
I wasn't here last week cause I knew it would get bad...I waited til the 4th quarter or so before I got on this week hoping to see people being positive and cheering our skins, instead I find "so called" fans already giving up and saying game over! I'm right there with you Matty.

Here's a clue for everyone using "frustration" as an excuse to say negative things like "game over" when it's long from over...YOU'RE NOT A SKINS FAN. Real skins fans don't give up when a little adversity comes their way. So try this in the future, if you feel the need to say something stupid like that, SHUT UP. Don't bother saying it, you're not helping anyone including yourself!!!

Re: Redskins vs. Jets game thread
 

Alright, I think I'm off my soap box for now. :D

We're 5-3 right now, and if we were told the SKins would be 5-3 in week 17 of last season, every one of us would jump and cheer.
I'm happy to be 5-3. We've gone through some growing pains, and I still feel we are a playoff team. All we need to do is play .500 ball from here on out and we are in the playoffs!!!!

Re: Redskins vs. Jets game thread
 

It is a win in OT...against a team with a now 1 and 8 record... I'm not feeling we are near geling as a team yet. We need more sparks on offense ....Our WRs need to catch more TD's and deep passes.

Re: Redskins vs. Jets game thread
 

While I agree the "game over" posts are nonsense after the first bad play--this site is a "forum" where opinions, whether rationale or not, are discussed. Should someone opine in a negative fashion that does not exclude them from being a "fan".

I, for one, am a member of the Warpath's "Pessimists Caucus". After 15 years, and two playoff wins--I [B]am[/B] frustrated. And there is nothing wrong with that. It is mine and other "fans" right to feel this way. However, lumping all the "Kool Aid Caucus" as the "real" Skins' fans and suggesting bans for contrarian posters is perhaps the most ridicules (sic) opinion I have heard on this very competent site...

Re: Redskins vs. Jets game thread
 

we were lucky to escape with the win,kudo's to the off line and suisham,looks like he got his hook fixed,a lot of people didnt think he would be able to make a game winning kick,especially from that distance,i had my doubts also going into the game but after the way he was kicking prior to o.t. I had confidence in him for the last kick.
Still very unimpressed with offense and playcalling,my main problem with it being so unimaginative,remember al the presnap motion Gibbs used to do? but my main problem isnt about that,its what we do whwn we run the play.We rarley use the shotgun,when we do pass its usually straight 7 yrd drop back passes with no play action pass,theres no deception on off to try and confuse the def.I noticed last week against N.E.,and this week against the jets,who looked like they might have used some of N.E.'s plays,their off's used misdirection,fake handoffs and fake reverses,a lot of different looks that confused our def and kept us off balance,I see none of that in our off except for once or twice a game.One of our best plays today was Jason dropping back to pass and faking the throw and then the delayed handoff to portis for a good gain,that was a great call but theres not enough of that kind of playcalling.Today we were able to win because the off line came together and opened some holes,if they wouldnt have the outcry on hear would be so bad you wouldnt be able to stand it. I wouldnt be as concerned with the playcalling as far as run pass ratio if i saw some imagination with the plays instead of straight handoffs and straight dropback passing

I agree completely. This solidifies the points I made in the "will the Skins make the playoffs?" thread last week. It's sickening how many bandwagon, fairweather fans are on this site, claiming to be Redskins fans when things are going good and then acting like they WANT the team to lose on Sundays.

It's ridiculous and unneeded talk, especially in a game thread. If you aren't pulling for your team to win when they're down, you're not a fan. If you aren't wanting them to turn the bad into good and win for the rest of the year, you're not a fan. Being a fan is not about looking at stats or standings and basing your predictions on them, it's about wanting and believing your team will win no matter who they're playing.



This is why I don't come on here Sundays. I just read the game thread on Mondays. I couldn't handle some of you people during the games, it's like you're rooting for the other team.

Re: Redskins vs. Jets game thread
 

I want to clarify that we have never banned anyone for having a differing opinion, and we never will. Frankly I get annoyed to no end when someone says "hey watch out you're going to get banned for saying something negative." That's just not true.

However, the irrational trolls that do nothing but bitch, cry, and complain from kickoff to the final whistle may be subject to the boot.

Re: Redskins vs. Jets game thread
 

Being frustrated with your teams performance in no way indicates that you are less of a fan.

I'll admit I was a little pissed yesterday. I just wanted to see a little more attitude from the team.

I don't believe I cried "game over" when we lost the coin toss, but I'll also admit I was pretty damn nervous about the Jets getting the ball first.

I think "real fans" are elated when we get a win, and pissed when we lose. I know after I a loss I'm in a foul mood and don't want to talk to anyone until late Sunday night.

I'm pretty happy with this win. Portis kicked it into high gear and we avoided serious mistakes. 5-3 isn't bad going into our NFC East matchups.

You're right about that, but we have people in the predictions threads picking us to lose to bad teams and then calling for Gibbs to be fired when we turn the ball over...and continue to say we're going to lose and our season is over all game...then disappear when we pull out a win.

If you don't have faith in your team, you're not a fan. It doesn't matter if all 11 of our offensive starters get hurt and we're playing with all scrubs, if you're really a fan, you'll still want them to win.

These people are annoying.

I'd like to echo that sentiment. No one is banned here for a differing opinion. Gmanc thinks playcalling is a big issue, I think the bigger issue is execution, or lack thereof. SGG thought Mike Williams was worth discussing, Matty thought is was pointless. BrudLee thinks Britney's new album "is a raw, heartfelt rumpshaker that takes the listener to a trascendental state where he/she can reflect on the inner turmoil that rages inside all of us" Summo thinks it's a "vapid, smug amelodic mess that speaks volumes about the incoherent vitriol that is Britney Spears"

But you know what? We're all mods here, so clearly there is no banning for differing opinions going on here.
